Shelter from the storm....How good are our loudspeakers at 14 Hz ?

Post by FGM »

Tambourines, lightning and thunder...So relaxing !!!!
It was calm before, no red in the morning; but work still in progress, hold on: profound ancient human beings next to the seashore will soon show us their enjoyment thanks to a simple conch quartet.

Music that you can see! Definitely a film score in progress. The drums are placed nicely just off to each side and the atmospherics steal the show.
This is a good idea.
Hopefully others will post their ideas. I will contribute one that is not quite as organic but at least along same thematic road.

Very nice indeed.

Thank you.

The stage, resolution, channel separation and orchestration are great.
Japanese voicing is short as it happens and outstandingly obvious out of its perfection.
Percussion layers stepping now and then add more depth.
Interestingly, one can even perceive the low and high skin tension having each of those drums.

I personally would have maintained everything, even that relax tempo, but used instead a slower, thicker and lower pitched wind instrument replacing the one starting @00:36, to add less "fun" or none at all to the ongoing mistery while also keeping the Oriental air till its very end @00:50, since it suddenly turns too Occidental along those 14 seconds... Unless, I will say, unless, yes, it is representative of a suddenly appearing baddy (to the others) moving that fast against the at other pace hostile surrounding environment...Home, sweet home.

I want more !!!!

Would you please add your name to the song and check weather there is a missing "a" between g and h, or perhaps not ?

I'd go with slowing it down a bit and maybe a lower pitched sax but definitely still want a sax in there to interupt the in-fighting going on in that country at that time. That interruption turned out to be the West. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Sekigahara
Now, we just have to finish the songs - always a problem:)

Great that TIK TAK of yours. Thank you.
Won't say anything but that it should be placed well in the frontispiece for everyone to clearly see it, not hidden below the lines !!!!

I love your understanding my point of view on the sax battling for the West.
Thank you, PaulGreen. Thank you.
Looking forward to hearing it "finished".

But a song is never finished.
Should never be finished.
If it does, it is death.
Sadly, not the song itself, but our mind.
You play it with different instruments, why not, that surely will call for different techniques, timings, accents...
It is played under different moods, that are reflected as the song progresses provided you are not a slot machine.

Try to get a song by Bob Dylan that went played exactly the same at different scenarios... You will not be able to find a single occasion he did so, bar the records on sale. You thought you will be hearing that song you loved when attending? You did find something that sounded pretty much like it, but was just another version, so to speak.

It is truly great to have the chance to record, save and play back, but that is just an instant captured after a certain point is achieved to avoid losing that magical moment, and nothing else.

Most probably the "done" is said once we reach a point after the initial inspiration made good its progress up to where it is properly felt as "enough" or "perfect, this is it", our mind being deeply satisfied, needing just another challenge.

Good points FGM, I'll keep that in mind but I do almost always prefer "first takes". Personally, It seems like remixes always have a little less energy than the original. This is probably because a lot of us noodle around until we find a sound that gets our juices flowing then we build a hook out of that sound and finally fill in the beats and blanks. For me it's hard to go back and change that first sound to anything else because the sound was "made for" that hook.

That is another great thing to have in consideration, since there is always a true reason for another one to exist, making then the foundation of the very real thing, recognizable to most of the listeners regardless of the many envelopes it might be shown under once you become open minded and decide to manage other possible ways simply because you are capable of doing so.

I might be back with a pair of little songs to have some fun exploring those little important facts...
