The rest is mine. Don't know what to say...it sounds just odd. Good practise anyhow! Had some issues with panning also and the genre remains very unclear.
Any thoughts?

This is the best interpretation I've heard of Bonnie's excellent pella...as the lady herself says, 'this is art'

Love this track. Its very clever, reminds me of early Elton John but with such a modern feel. As for genre dont worry. When bands in the 60's & 70's were making songs longer than 3 mimtes and 20 seconds they were interested in the story, not the "target audience"!

Well done

Wow - thank you!!
I had to listen to some early Elton John for comparison and I think you mean the piano? Well, I don't hear the similarity - my work is ridiculous in comparison but it's a great thing to say so thanks for that! I need a confidence boost for sure.

I think I can hear what you wanted to do. It's got a good funkyness to it. Just remove the finger snapping sounds.
SeriouslyJoking
SeriouslyJoking replied 8th Jul 2013 - 11 years ago
I actually have no idea of what I wanted to do...it just became this way. Sometimes the songs go where they want to go, I'm not in charge.
The fingersnapping sounds are in the one borrowed loope I used but I'm considering a version with no drums at all. (Hmm...it's probably never gonna happen anyways, I tend to move on to the next projekt when one is semifinished and never look back.)
But thanks for listening!

Hello ....

Great concept, and very special. The judicious choice of the voice of Bonnie Rabson is quite suitable, and gives one side, very air at that track ....

Thank you for sharing that magic instant today ....

Very interesting, SJ. You got me on the genre, too! Maybe avant garde? Like Darkreine said, "Who gives a ****." We just finished one with the same pella of Bonnie's. It's worlds apart from your fine track, though. Two totally different interpretations.

Cheers,
Scott
SeriouslyJoking
SeriouslyJoking replied 6th Jul 2013 - 11 years ago
Isn't it peculiar how different the same pella actually can sound in every new song? I get surprised every time.
Anyhow - looking forward to hear your interpretation.

Thanks for listening! Avant garde? Let's call it that. =D

This is the most abstract rendition I've heard... and it's amazing!!!! So unique! I don't even know where I would begin... the interweaving bits here and there.. the panning was the cherry on top! I agree with Kenny, this doesn't need any genre labels, this is art!

Peace!

This works for me on so many levels. It sounds almost experimental, but also highly co-ordinated. Who gives a **** about genre, I think just create a new one. Love this.

Description : Sounds of the sea and trippy acidy washes with a cool beat and some live acoustic guitar. Written in Cubase with live guitar and keys etc. The sound of the sea and birds was recorded on the beach where I used to live. After moving to the city one sunny day I was telling stories to a friend about living by the sea and started making this track.

Description : I used some new "Anthem" pickups from L.R. Baggs on my Martin acoustic to see how it performed, and it definitely beat my expectations. Captured the sound perfectly as I needed.

Anyhoo, this song is almost a prayer, hence the repetitiveness of the verses. As Christians, we believe that God will one day return and take away every suffering and all evil for good; in that regard, this song is almost one of waiting too. Very simple, with vocal harmonies and whatnot. Hope you enjoy this as much as I did making it. Made in 13 hours.

Someone else wrote the words, I was just inspired to use them. I only added the "Yeah" and "Amen."

Description : This is a track off of one of my EP's I dropped last year. It is based on True events. Sometimes when people finally take a second in life to slow down and breathe in..... The oxygen is deflated and it's too late. Take your time people, because time is what differs a good decision over a bad one. Life is precious!

Description : So a guy buys a nice guitar at a pawn shop but returns it a few days later after waking from a sound sleep to hear it playing by itself. When he tells of his experience he is shocked to learn the owner had actually died while playing it. Is it fantasy or truth? Is the guitar in this track that very same guitar? Its all part of the mystery and fun of Halloween !
EDIT: modified ending to a deeper voice

Description : A progressive journey incorporating deep ambient chillout, swing jazz, hip hop, d'n'b, trance and a slight touch of acid with a thousand ninjas battling in space. Features a great deal of my lead slide resonator guitar playing. Also a whole load of synths, programmed acoustic drum kits and manipulated drum loops, big basslines, regular electric guitar, vocoded guitar parts and bass guitar (distorted right at the end). If you like deep chill, far out soaring beauty, fat beats and 170 BPM uplifting slide trance controlled mayhem, you might just get into this. In my heaven there is an endless supply of honey mangoes (an exquisite beauty of the fruit world) and even more slide guitar. A 1,000-year-long version of this track plays there on a loop (long enough not to get bored of it) but here I offer you the Earthly 11 min version. You must be very good to be accepted into my heaven to hear the full thousand year version so best start now. It may be heaven's main theme tune but it's not above criticism so feel free to let me know what you think of it. Maybe you prefer the soundtrack in hell. I hear it's pretty badass...
