StÃÂphane - remains a devastating track, the enhancements on the vox really serve the lyrics as well as the understated but smoldering music - here's to better roles, better souls, my friend
really digging yr gtr parts and sounds from them here - i guess the rythm section is intentionally droning mecha but it drags a great guitar song down - truly hope you keep playing with this track.
this track has some very interesting mirage-like qualities - it has an arid, desert feel even tho every second is full of events - it seems like the gtr parts are 10 feet tall when they really only last under 30 seconds - and i must add the belew 'references' are right on - the riddle of the sands?
Safe journeys, Jamie
Thanks for the listen Michael - I'm glad you liked it! It's no secret that I like the work of guys like Belew/Fripp etc (just look at my avatar) and over the years I have made a study of the way they play. I just couldn't resist playing a little "Elephantosity" on this track - it just seemed to fit!
very pastoral and intriguing - voices and basses work really well with a nice melting quality - only the harmonica is jarring - i think the juxtaposition is right on but could use some cutting or other technique/z to enhance the flow
a comment from the peanut gallery - i always respect your musicality
Thanks for the review. I love the voices. I'm working on a subject today.
Yes, I've to look at the harmonica, but at it's level. I'll look and listen many times to adjust the tempo. Concerning the jarring sound, I think it's right, but if I substract the bass, it's correct. In fact, it's rather the bass level I have to modify, certainly 1/4 tone up or down.
Hey, you've a good listening !
Thanks for this !
Hello Gord - it is always so good to see you, man. I always find some thing strong and centered in your music even when feeling the most forlorn. And i'm always subliminally singing along with the lyrics - you got strange zen kareoke powers, i feel lucky to sing along - thanks, friend
Thanks Michael, I appreciate your kind review. I am glad you take the time to read/sing my lyrics with the music. I hope to have the vocals done on all my tracks in time. Take Care my friend.
Gord
thanks for replying.
I mixed loops I had wit hloops I created. But even if I found the way to build this music, I have now to make a more fluent composition....one day !
thanks much for listening!
can't help it - another fav! don't know how intentional it is but some of these transitions just trigger the happy part of my very nervous system.
for this listener a very engaging dialectic between the selector and the selected.
I agree with you. What is important for me in music holds in 2 points:
1) Pacling the pauses or silences at the right moment
2) To be able to break the music and to drive an other piece with a minimum of bad effects.
Thank you for replying and listening.
it's so strange that when you feel about as beat as a person can possibly be you find a groove that matches that sadness but lifts you up and makes you keep going at the same time - this is a much appreciated track
StÃÂphane - great gtr/beat music providing contrast to the deadpan vocal delivery - i do think a faster tempo and/or stickier drums would really work with this
this is warm and comedic / almost slapstick to these ears. it is a contrast to a track of yours i recently characterized as 'cold' and probably the better term to have used then would be konstructivist. i think the contrast is that here there is a 'character' to follow (the clav) that provides comment and counterpoint. This would have worked for me even without the the wonderful description, but dreaming of the unattainable girl amps it up.
i really appreciate the many musical facets your tracks offer!
Thanks a lot Michael_Strokes or listeneing
Not obvious to place an atmosphere (it takes a time), and to place a suggestion by the lead guitar and the wind instruments.
Yes, I recognize that it's different from my other productions.
But, here, I am not really satisfaid by the result, 1) because the sound rendering is not really beautiful, I have difficulties to ste the tones, 2) because I wanted to compose a line with with Yamaha keyboard, but I have connection problem with my computer. It 'll be for a next moment.
Thanks much
i think your music is some of the best stuff going and really admire your work, so i will step out a little and say i find this is a disturbing piece - cold and architectural - a triumph of the will that separates the heart from the cerebrum. i love it.
EDIT: Far, far from mechanical - only a human could sound so strangely turmoiled.
Please do bear in mind that these comments are observations on one specific track - i find that your music (certainly including this track) provides many insights on the spectrum of the human condition.
Hey!
How do you analyse this! I'm surprised, but it's really that ! I'm an orientalist in my way of life, and an european for the way of living in my daily life.
Yes, here is in such a way, a contrast of 2 ways I live together.
It's difficult to integrate emotion in music if this music id too much mechanical. I try to let some human presence, even if it's not obvious.
Thanks for your kind words.
gotta echo Wayne, the 'spooky' riff is a great launchpad - to these ears, some of the free-est 'for fun' playing i've heard from you and it's a real pleasure
I guess the Signs show he really didn't know What Women Want. Sounds like this Maverick is out for Payback though. I should have named this track The passion of the fruit. Mel call works though. Funny how Mel sounds like a screemo singer.
