ez listening
top of the page 'new apt.' www.nowhereradio.com/samij/singles
I just moved into a new apartment and I'm not completely comfortable here yet.. It is nicer than the other dump I used to live in.. I started playing around with some keys and also added some EBow. any thoughts on the sound are appreciated.. It's more like cheesey listening rather than ez.. thanks if you make it..

As far as I'm concerned this is what synths were made for.
If I was going to change anything, I'd put huge buldging kettle drums where that hi-hat thing is. Or switch between the two. There is something lurking in this one, but it never reveals itself. That's cool in and of itself, but I wouldn't mind if it attacked me either. Cool changes, cool moods, love the piano. Welcome back to recording Sam.  Tom

Hey dude......
This is cool. Nice piano sound, is that roland? Style-wise: It doesnt sound like the new living location has robbed your sound too much... very Sam...... sounds like this was a fun buzz  ...Im hearing some really big lows in this... a little excessive to my ears. When the layering gets piled up there seems to be a little murkyness down there. Im listening on head-phones (fyi) so take for what its worth. I like the "screaming" synth sound.....cool, and conducive to the tune. .....glad yer back man. Mike

SLuiCe - yeah the kettle drum idea is a good one.. this was just one of those things to warm up to the new place so I was just having some fun with keys.. had to record something before I busted.. thanks for the ears..
Guernica - Big Poppa! thanks G.. yeah there may be some excessive lows because I mixed at a fairly low volume.. I wanted it to sound full, but not too murky.. still have to get used to the new digs.. hope everything's good with the little man.. man!

Welcome back, dude!
Congrats on the new pad. Moving sucks though. You always find out you have more stuff than you thought you did when you start hauling it!
Speaking of pads, I dig that voice patch. It really adds to the mood on this one. That piano seems to have a bit too much key thump, and lacks presence. Maybe the compression did that. I'd like to hear a bit more sizzle on the guitar as well. Maybe just cutting some of the low-mids would help both.  Cool stuff!

Hey Sam, how goes it!
Good to see you around.Nice one here. I love the e-bow in there and you have some great chops playing those keys! The only thing that I didn't care for was the drum sound you had on this one (usually I love the drum sound you get) ... I hear what your going for with the Indian Raga style, and I think it would work, I just didn't care for the actual patch --- imho -- Great mood piece and definitely has your signature on it. Very nice!

lol, fooled me with this one. I spent the whole tune waiting for the other shoe to drop. The longer it went on the more I got nervous how loud it would be when the band kicked in, so I kept turning it down. I'm gonna listen to it again.

New Apt.? What, did you move to Pluto? Easy to tell this was you-the fast piano stuff reminds me of the violin? parts you did on Erlands tune-almost sounds sped up...The king of the E-bow returneth!. Tough being a musician/recorder in an apt.-if I ever dissappear-Ive probably been arrested for assaulting my upstairs neighbors baaah. Anyway cool sounding piece-maybe a bit bottom heavy if cranked on speakers but nice in the headphones.

I know I busted your balls about doing shit like this but it's real good and right in line with your well defined style.I liked Tom's kettle drum idea,too.I hope that new place inspires more great tunes and now that you have sunlight maybe...nah,forget it.

hi. this is a pretty cool piece. have never heard anything like it before. and that guitar-ish sound is pretty neat. is that what you called the "ebow?" is it really a electronic violin or something?
anyway.... my criticism is that the piano at the beginning stands out too much. it sounds too clean. the background stuff you have happening sounds reverby and distant, while the piano just sounds too clean. i don't think the sounds match each other well. maybe you should put some heavier reverb on the piano or something. or maybe use a totally different piano patch. this patch sounds really sweet, but i don't think it's appropriate for the dark tone of this piece. i think it's too bright. don't have much to say about the composition itself. sounds fine to me. but anyway... cool stuff. i like it.

dtb - thanks Dan.. sometimes the slow jam is more fun.. fenderlikingood - rick-in-the-house! thanks bender! M.Brane - I agree, moving does suck.. also agree about the lows.... I didn't put too much time into mixing this.. It was kind of spur of the moment.. I'll mess with it some more.. thanks Brane! boydrj - agreed about the drums.. I was originally just using that as a metronome, but I un- muted it at the last second.. another patch would be better.. thanks dr.j! Toki987 - thanks Toke.. still exploring the new boundaries of the new place.. DougH - thanks Doug.. Yeah it probably would make a good intro for something heavy if I shaved it down.. jcmm - I ran out of time yesterday, but I'll be in touch after work today.. thanks!!! Stratomaster - it seems that bottom heavy thing is official.. Normally it's just my women, now it's spread over to my mixes.. Thanks Strat!W.I.S.C. - buy a bag! flat-9 - thanks for thinking of me flat! Orpheus - here's a link to some EBow info http://www.ebow.com/test/newtest/index.htm You may have a point about the piano sound.. I was going for the feel that the piano was envoking something.. Like the longer I played, the louder the voices got.. thanks for checking it out! thanks again doodz!

One thing about your mixes is that they always have this great balance among frequencies. Great lows, but not too much. Great mids, but not too much. etc. Cool sounds on this one.
Unless you want to add some vox, I can't come up with any ideas to improve it... Real drums maybe? As for the music... Please don't go "John Tesh" on me.
