Wow Mister Dragon this is very different from what I have come to expect from you.
Still the great voice and the deep meaning lyrics but what a twist at 1.04 when the female singers come in! That was very unexpected and very well done.
Great track mate and .... thankyou for your very late rteply on one of my older tracks ... I'm going to have a play with layering that poem you mention of yours so you might just have two Billy Dragon tracks up at thesame time.
Spiv did they once make a film of you where you'd made a time machine out of a Delorian?
This is an incredible creation.
It's an event.
A documtary in its own right.
But it is a live event.
This is not music but a happening.
This is like a personal invite ... come in and see what I do but be careful not to trip over the cables or touch any hot surfaces.
Wow.
Heh, I did always like Doc in that film, though his character is a bit exaggerated. It made me want a delorian real bad though, even though I am not a driver. It would just be a conversation piece.
I think a live performance should be an event, most especially if the song has never existed before. I'm happy that it feels that way upon listening.
I like the possibly typographic error nature of "documtary." It takes the "ment" out of the idea, though I can't quite figure what the impact of that is. It sounds Latin or something.
Ha ha, yeah, be careful not to trip on the cables is right. I think I've gotten used to the cables being a protective barrier between my feet and the disgusting old carpet. At least I make my own cables now, so it's no big deal if they are trashed. The main hot surface in there is the front windows on a summer afternoon... it gets disturbingly uncomfortable in there... the UV just keeps getting worse in this world.
Okay, had to take a break there... got carried away typing, and had a nearly fatal substance abuse on the stove. Multitasking is a risky endeavor.
Anyway, I should get on to listening at your page, so I can hit the cop shop right when they open. Thanks for your words and your support!
What's he building in there?
A man can't get no peace in here!
This is not pop music.
I think this is simply a recording of you building giant synthesizers.
I can smell the solder again.
The lights in all the other houses on the street are flickering from the huge power drain!
There go the curtains thank God you had a fire extinguisher.
Oops the cat just ran screaming with it's tail smouldering.
I'm having visions of domestic hell!
There's a tv crew outside now.
Holding a cup of tea with welding gloves on can be tricky but you pulled it off.
Spiv this is madness.
How does it have the power to hold me like it does?
What an amazingly mind blowing piece!
You never cease to amaze and never fail to deliver.
I'm going in again but this time with some boots and a hard hat on ....
Hey buddy! I can't thank you enough for your comments here, and for listening with your experienced ear(s) and mind. It is not taken lightly!
I had no idea that a track like this would get this kind of positive reception from my friends (and strangers) here at Looperman. It makes me feel good, since this sort of piece would be completely within reach for live performance, if only a venue was available
You are right, it is definitely not pop music. Part of what I had in mind was working toward another cassette release, mainly for the modular drone cassette exchange on muffwiggler.com. I've received three cassettes at this point, but have only sent out one... the international shipping costs are prohibitive at times. Hoping to do a sixty minute one this time.
Generally when we're having power issues in our home, it is completely caused by others. Had a momentary loss of power this morning even. Frustratingly, our new neighbor had a central air unit installed about ten feet from the wall of my studio... now when it's on, there is this high pitched whine on my system. It's killing me, and means I have to rearrange my studio again (at least once a year now). This is no small task with the massive cabling, amps, and organs. I should be thankful that I haven't reconnected everything to the patch bay since my last reorganize effort!
The cat usually avoids my studio area now, since it's a bit of a disaster. Domestically, things seem to be on the upturn, but outside... oh outside.
Never been a welder, though I did learn spot welding in school. I manage to swap in a beer here and there while soldering. The big problem is smoking in between, since it's a pain to wash my hands before I light up. Lead, cadmium, flux... oh well, how much worse can it be than the air and water quality?
In all seriousness, the premise is one of self/faith healing, with a side order of sarcasm. The title was inspired in part by "My Name is Earl," and god's little finger, if you are familiar. All in all, I think that my time supporting the med industry is coming to an end, and if that means identifying with an recognized religion (in a country with freedom of religion... huh???)... then so be it.
Anyway, I'm building up my plant based "boots and hard hat" this morning, since I'm hitting the gov't center to pick up an incident report and file a formal complaint. Wish me luck. I will continue on your next comment!
Hi Joe not seen you around for a while.
To the English ear especially one who doesn't understand German there are two effects;
One is the language sounds very harsh.
Two it sounds fantastic to music especially modern day electronic music.
You have the perfect voice for modern music.
Good to know that you remembered me :)
Working to much last times .......
Nice to hear that you like the vocal work.
Hopefully i will come next with some fresh stuff.
I think you'll find it very difficult to put vocals on this with the almost endless choir and suynth voices that are there.
Just my opinion.
Based on the fact I find it very hard to put vocals in busy tunes.
I already have had it mastered so I don't know what you are talking about.
What else would you suggest for future mastering? (you can email me at harryhockjne@gmail.com)
Utter nonesense!
Blended and twisted into mysterious joy.
Mental health breakdown ahead!
Creepy spooky dangerous.
Love it.
You might be the only sane one left here .......
Thank you for your comment! I was thinking it needs some breaks in it too, the mastering part I've gotta work on. I appreciate your constructive criticism and honesty!
At 0.8 is a big production entrance.
The bad news with entering like that is the rest of the track might sound a little limp in comparrison.
This didn't.
This just steamrollered along with great energy.
Vocals sound spot on.
The whole mix sounds great.
Great track.
The ending though sounds like you had a power cut!
Sounds nothing like Yello but for some reason it reminds of Yello.
I've tried removing that experience but it just won't go away.
By the way I loved Yello in their time.
Sounds very neatly put together from here.
https://www.songtradr.com/user is where people and organisations are looking to purchase music for pop film games ads and so on.
Just had another listen to this and it's near perfect.
Starts so sad.
Then hope appears and light too the future can ... can be ... can't it?
I like it but don't like the volume of that drum.
It pushes the guitar and organ to far back.
Wouldn't be that loud in real life.
Not sure it's even the right drum but these things are a matter of taste.
It's almost hymn like which is good.
I can picture a small church in a bleak place.
If you changed it then I need to listen again. I don't always comment straight away because I'm to knackered to do more than listen so you've obviously changed it since my post.
Hey Silver!!!
Thanks a lot for the compliment, it's always appreicate ;)
to answer you: shame on me i forgot to quote the artist who wrote "song to xavier". His name is Eric Serra, A French composer who wrote a lot for Luc Besson's movies. This one is extract from the original sound movie named "Subway". The original is only the saxo line you can hear in my cover. I reorganized the sax set, and i created all the others intruments.
How did i put this together... i could explain in french, in english, some words will miss me :(:(:( but i worked the sax line in my musc software, i cutted each pattern and I adjusted each of these to the bpm which I wanted: 95 bpm. After, the original bpm is not so distant from the one that I chose
Glad if you enjoyed it :)
