I was supposed to be working on Emeric's piece for the H/R band (and I actually did that for a few hours) but got sidetracked into this composition.
Also got sidetracked by strmkrs' jam, "Set the Hook" or buy some fresh bait or some cold beers or something......

What if Debussy, Ives and Satie got together, shared a big goopey fat one and created a spontaneous composition?

I thought I'd answer this rhetorical question with an mp3.

This is the longest piece I've uploaded after the Answerphone thing.
 
interesting...sounds like a fun time with the sequencer brothers. I went to Berklee, so I completely understand how musicians can get completely wacked!!!

rrrroooooolllll another one.....jussssssss like.....
 
drstawl...
1. your welcome
2. the sequencer bros... no one...just made that up ;-D
3. I don't know...haven't been there in over 20 years.
 
I like it! ... I have to admit, drstawl .. I've downloaded about 4 or 5 of your tunes but never posted because ...well I was speechless! Maybe I just didn't get it before ... but this one ... felt strangely familiar to me. Maybe it's the voicings you use ... or the phrasing ... but it just feels more ... comfortable ... I don't know how to describe it.
It's very lyrical ... and pleasant sounding. I really like your choice of patches ... they really make it work. The chords you play for the triplets at 1:35-1:37 and 2:08-2:11 seem very familiar to me ... don't know from where or why, though. It's almost spooky. :)
I like the mix ... I wouldn't change a thing ... excellent sound quality.
Thanks for sharing. Great work!
 
Yup....

BigK more or less said it. But I can elaborate a bit.

Doc, this is the smoothest sequence I have heard yet from you. The phrasings fall together in a very comfortable manner. Nothing clumsy at all here. I can also here a very nice improvement in the sonic qualities of your mixes! I think you are starting to get the Events down now.

I dug it! :)

love it!just wish i could have been there to smoke the big doobie with you all,we're a little dry here in ok. right now
 
Well strmkrI: feel for ya, but in the end, who's to blame for that state of affairs?
Fight the Power! Grow your own!
And Ed- thanks: I did a little EQ and compression inside Vegas on this one. Closing in on what's required to wake up these Synth sounds. I'm gonna need to know those Events for projects to come, though....
 
Getting a bit of distortion on the left from 0.35 - 0.45.

How'd you get that funky sound on the bell voice? You messing with the attack?

It's like Ed says - it's smoothly sequenced, and yet this is one of the most disjointed pieces I've heard from you. That's what you get for having three guys in the composing stage. It works, but I think #2 on your homesite list is much more powerful and beautiful, for example. I get a bit of distortion through the left can when I listen to that one too. I don't think it's my new headphones - I don't get the same crackle listening to other stuff.

Who's Ives, by the way? Burl's brother, or Currier's partner?
 
hey,i tried!but we had one hell of a drought here this year!lol.......
 
"Charles Edward Ives (1874-1954), Danbury-born-and-raised maverick composer, cared little for the musical styles and fashions of his day. He cared even less for music critics. He was fond of saying that pretty music was for pretty ears, and he had no regrets that his music was not considered "pretty". Not until 1939, twenty years after he stopped composing, did the American public become aware of his music. Acceptance came much later."


That's my kind of composer!

And I cranked it as hard as I could and heard nothing weird in that time range??? On the Events or in the cans.
 
In that case, it's something happening in between your hard disk and mine.

I really like that bell voice on that track. It catches my attention.
