Tumbleweed

Hey buddy, thank you for the listen and comment! Glad you caught the second version! I can admit that many of my episodes on the floor have influenced my songwriting, though nothing quite as specifically related as this. It also applies to general failure in the face of risk, which is something which everyone faces. This one fell into place nicely, and required very little editing, which helps alot. I'm loving the new superscope EC-5 microphone that I grabbed recently... pleasing range. I really appreciate you leaving your words!

Thank you Ed! I know this is a kind of a special musical creation and putting it under 'house' might be not correct, those drums have a very tribal character though. Also it is a quite slow tempo here - 116BPM. I didn't really think of picturing any concrete images - it is always up to listener and I am glad you think it would be suitable as a soundtrack.
My work was actually quite complex as I blended together many different sounds of Blofeld. I've made this after some break from music in general. It was an interesting experience - my ears were very fresh and incredibly open yesterday (so to speak:).
Now I am getting even more and more surprised by the possibilities of this synth than I was before. There are 2 factors, I think: my momentary ability to percieve the actual sound and how open I can be to use it musically in that moment - the other is about learning how to use the synth as a tool so I could come up with my original sounds as well (I am still working on that but it is very time-consuming activity). Basically Blofeld is simply a modern version of an old german PPG Wave synth https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=izVH1CENIDs My version is a 'desktop' one and always needs an external midi keyboard to trigger the sound.

I am glad you liked my playing and the music.

Thanks a lot for your kind comment and your support.

thanks my friend, i Recently saw your soundcloud page, you got a greats instrumentals music.... i can heard that you're a excellent guitarist

thanks ed, i am going to go back through this again and try cleaning it up and clarifying the sounds a bit. any tips on eq handling?

Hi Ed!

Thank you! However, there is only two sharply different styles on the track as oxymoron, with some short jazzy transition ... Both of them are really homogeneous in itself, were not so tough to mix them like this.

regards, traz

it turns out that the track winds down on a softer feeling. did not go to far with this one. thanks for the kind words.

Thanks for the kind words! I am not just starting from scratch, I picked up a Chords chart from a music store (http://www.walrusproductions.com/images/pianochordsmed.jpg) and just went from there. I still couldn't play a single chord without looking it up, but baby steps, right? Keep trying and I'm sure you'll be playing in no time :) good luck with the piano!

Thanks Ed! I still have all my old equipment (AKG C214 mic and the laptop, pre-amps and instruments), just no software :) No worries, quality will return once I get PT12!

Thx Tumbleweed.

Thanks, Ed! I appreciate you stopping by and listening. I am happy to know you enjoyed what you heard.

Love & Light,

Thanks Ed! Sorry for the late reply, i were inactive a bit this year...

Hi Ed,

You gave Scott a nice compliment with a chuckle. He said if he were to move there, you'd be the first person he'd look up for a great jam session. I agree, Franco is a musical genius. He is composer of most of our tracks.

Yeah, this one was a bit tricky to put a genre to, but thought 'rock' might be a good catch-all.

Anyway, we all appreciate your ear and for taking the time to leave your kind words.

Ciao,
M.

You brought a smile on my face, my friend....Thank you so much!:)

Hey Ed, thanks buddy! no alto on this track, though there is some frequency chatter and distortion from the background electronic track that I made so that would go along way in explaining it. It's a weird thing but I have become addicted to my precision bass these days (haven't touched the jazz in weeks) and now I'm into playing it with a foam mute..I spurned it as a kid go figure! lol...thanks again for your kind words mate your opinion means a lot to me. cheers Dave :)

Thanks for your feedback and moral support, Ed. It is much appreciated. Ill be sure to post the updated version when its ready
