Asia...wow. That is a long freakin' way from Canada...or Scotland or pretty much wherever :). Cool...anyway, this tune:

Great clarity and the panning is really nice and helps maintain interest for something so sparse. Odd, because despite being sparse on the surface, there are at least a few layers of things happening that one can shift focus to and from while listening. I like the synthy bass part a lot.

I guess it does sound like something of a wee sketch, but a good one at that.
 
thanks mate...spent three months in Asia now ended up in Cali :)

got a couple of minimal ones coming up...glad the mix seems ok...mind you hard to guess what someone's trying to achieve with this kind of thing
 
Sounds okay I guess. There's not much there to comment on. I gotta say though, that was the longest 4:55 ever. Throw some changes or something in there. Just hit more buttons. :D
 
Cool composition. The midi sounds aren't good though. You're in SD right? UCSD used to have a very experimental and creative music dept. Dunno if it's the same now, but I can imagine this being performed in one of the concerts I saw there as a combination of recorded tracks (with higher quality samples) and live musicians. You should print out the score from the midi tracks and send it to them.:eek: They might perform it, maybe even with naked girls walking around the stage with antlers on their heads like the last concert I saw there.:cool:
 
damn i quite liked the sounds, drums took a while to get right...mind you i like naked girls with antlers on their heads more ;)

My wife works for UCSD...but I dont think any of my sketches will be winging their way anytime soon lol :)

I should add that the balance of the mix was very good. Sorry about the meanness re the midi sounds. I hate midi by nature. So, that filtered out, the drums are good dude.

edit: and don't hesitate to submit it for live performance. College arts depts are very promo-hungry. Just sign your manuscript "The Duke of Earl", or whatever you're the earl of, heh.:D They'll be all over it, naked girls, antlers, and all.

hey no worries i take it on the chin :)

my stuff at home is through outboard synths just not when Im on the go...but drums drive me nuts...i seem to get sucked into them for days...Im bidding on a 606 just now on evilbay

thanks a ton for listening/comments dude... and especially the mental picture of the wimmin ;)
 
No, seriously, about the composition aspect this is interesting rhythmically. The art-music world is always looking for composers lying outside the normal academic realm. Hell, Charles Ives was an insurance salesman.
 
yes but Ives was also a genius years ahead of his time, Im a bit thick and years behind mine ;) :D
 
Nice separation with the different synths, Keith.
Tune is very nicely arranged. The only thing that bugs me a little is the crispness in the drums, it's almost as if they're begging for mids. Try to get them to sound less like an old typewriter.......:D
Very good though.

Joey :)

hey cheers Joey, thanks for the comments....I get what your saying about the drums; pop, pop, tinkle, tinkle, pop, pop :)...they were meant to sound like that...like the 70s tiny pops..probably too much...dont think Id use the samples in anything again mind you as they could ruin a tune


hope you've been keeping busy and look forward to hearing your latest :D
