I thought so too. It actually never even occurred to me while I was doing it, but when I was mixing it, I noticed the resemblance, especially toward the end after the horns come in. I swear, it wasn't intentional.
dachay2tnr....glad you finally got the thing, I appreciate your persistence.
SOUND DIAGNOSIS..very nice description of your reaction......that's really the kind of response I hope to get from people......it's not a song in the standard sense......but I like this kind of stuff to listen to so I also record these types of , well, I guess I don't know what to call it. I've always refferred to them as sonic tapestries......but that sounds a little pretentious , I think.
As for the rain, I'm so glad that at least
someone didn't hate that. The reason it ended up being so long is cause when I was mixing, I was picturing something in my mind. I wanted to get that rolling thunder in there and I wanted the didgeridoo to sound like it was coming closer from a distance. I also didn't want to start with the thunder, I wanted there to be rain first.
I hear what everyone was saying about the length and yet, for me, it didn't seem that long. Have you ever listened to Pink Floyd's 'Meddle'? Those songs are long and often repititious and I suppose not everyone likes them.....but they've always carried me away to a foreign land. I'm really happy to know that this moved you no matter how slightly that may have been....thanks a lot!
boydrj......thanks man. My wife says I should send this to the Cirqu. Maybe I will. I saw a show about the making of a new Cirque show and their music approach was chaotic and even almost amaturish a little bit. They audition tapes they ended up picking were surprisingly so-so. So maybe they could use me! LOL I know better but what the hell.
