mixmkr - thanks a lot for listenin', much appreciated...i agree with ya on the muffly piano sound...i notated it on a baby grand, but had to resort to using Fruity Loops to reproduce...i know it's no excuse...i could've been more meticulous with the sound, made it less muffly. that'll be one of my focuses when i go back and lengthen it...you're right, the drum beat is the bomb. i've been working more on getting a unique sound from my programming, rather than that ppp tttt ppp tttt ppp tttt ppp tttt csshhhh sound.
what's so funny about the word "pelvic" ?
thanks again///take care brother.
wig - thanks for the commentary. i know i know, it needs to be longer. you see, and i know you know, that when working on a spontaneous piece, it can all come together in a few hours or a few minutes and then the moment ends...after which, i look at the length and see that it is 1:49...i realize though with this particular piece that it feels unfinished...this wasn't a cop out on my part...after i finished the vocals, it felt finished to me...i like how the ending chorus "there'll be an answer forecoming" mimics the intro, liek
a full circle, so in that sense it felt completed to me...but i've heard a lot of great suggestions, like putting some heavy distorted guitar after the chorus, using pauses, adding more freestyle and such...it'll be interesting to see where i can take this...i'll have to add a long list of credits, because if it wasn't for you guys, it'd stay just under 2 minutes long..
thanks for the "Rabbit In Your Headlights" comment, i'm flattered that you think my version tops the original, but i have to disagree. the original mix with DJ Shadow blows me away everytime i listen to it..i think mine is pretty good though
thanks a lot wig and "yes" Ithaca in the MOFO. holla! recognize!
