Hi Steve!
Well, I've told you this before but this journey has been what it is very much thanks to you and a bunch of other guys and girls here on the loop.
Without all the feedback and advice - no progression.

In December last year I hardly even knew there existed such things as DAW's and that almost everybody could learn to create some kind of music on their computer...now I know. =)
I just wish somebody could have told how addictive this music producing was, though!! It's taking over my life...

=D

Take care - I'm off to have a listen to your latest creation now. /SJ

Sorry for my late reply. I struggle to see the link between this track and For Your Pleasure, which I didn't much like (especially Ferry's vocals), though I did listen to the whole thing trying to spot the link. Must be the odd delayed keyboard part that comes in after a couple of minutes.

Yes, I do like the drums in this track. It's my usual multiple acoustic kit affair but I think they sound similar or are well matched so sort of sound like one big kit. Gives the track a real consistency that is maintained throughout the 18 mins though you'll hear the occasional cowbell in the second half.

Yes, 4:15 I find fun and also kind of fluffy and happy. Does all sound a bit like a live band. Shame I don't have one! 6:00 guitars have some good little squeals and 16th note rapid end of bar fills that I like to do (I can generally only play that fast, and in time, in short bursts).

Thought you'd like the dulcimer, banjo and Eastern stuff in this eg from around 6:50 on. That same bass guitar thundering away providing a good anchor. I use it a hell of a lot in this track but hope it doesn't get too boring. I find these end, darker sections very musical, even though I don't really know what I'm doing in terms of changing key. I just know the mode I've made up and hit those new, correct notes and then branch out a bit.

Since uploading this I've improved it a bit in various ways. I strongly considered splitting it in two but don't think that will now happen (would have called the other half Things That Always Were).

This track will be on my nearly finished album called For The Long-Form Lovers. 4 tracks - around 65 mins running time!

Look out for it in all good record stores soon (not really).

Thanks again for checking out my self indulgent noodlings.

I don't know, don't have any real good recording equipment and I have no idea what to sing for it (think female vocals would do better for it too haha) also here is the mix I made of closer http://play.beatport.com/contests/tegan-sara-closer/529b8803b8ed74474677698f

Hi, many thanks for your comment and sugestions.
Thanks again

Thanks for the comment Steve!! I'll have to give that soundtrack a listen again. I am glad I'm not the only one on here that has listened to tangerine dream. Some of the best early 80's soundtracks ever lol. I'll have to look up ultavox. I've heard of them but not familiar with their music. I am from the early 80's new age movement and one of my favs was night noise. I do love a phased string sound. Thanks again

Cheers
Will

Thanks a lot man! This is perhaps one of my better Jazz tracks in my opinion. I appreciate your comment.

~Ookami

yes because of my music text i named track.

Hey Cruce, good to hear from you! Digital hardcore, I like that! This one is weird because I used an effect as an instrument, which just kind of fell into place. Thanks for the compliment on the vocals! I appreciate you listening!

Hi, thanks for your comments and really glad you liked it enough to download which it the best appreciation of someones work.
Cheers
Steve

Yes! And thank you. I wasn't sure about the genre, really. And I'm certainly WIDE OPEN to ideas of HOW to get started mastering it properly, because as you can see, I'm in uncharted territory here. Thanks again.

Thanks man, glad you liked it, appreciate you stopping by!
