Thank you

Thanks

Hey Mate, I am so sorry I missed your comments on this track. Early synth work with the MS2000 and the Yamaha RM1X.
thanks for stopping bye.
Steve

Thank you that is very nice of you.

cool, then I did my job.

Thanks Man.

Fugestein yahh

done well, it likes you. ;)

Monsieur Loup.
Merci for the nice comments. "Whip" drum was my attempt at something new.

"Moving carpets" is a cool expression for the Pads.
"exactly half of the number-of-the-beast ... wow! firs the witches ...now this...what are you doing to me Cru?)"

As someone who doesn't believe in fairy tales, I assure you the 3:33 is just a coincidence. (Or is it Muoooohhhhhaaaaaahhhaaaaa.sic evil laughter fades out into a seriously dark reverb panned hall)

"Also the scales you are playing create little dissonances which prepare perfectly the chords in the next section."

Good Catch, I solo'ed in Fm over a Cm scale.

"PS: have you noticed that you are dangerously moving into the zone of MrNomad track's duration? ;-)"

Ahh no fears as most of his works are twenty minutes long chopped into segments. Myself I wrote this long before I listened to his work and I think I have only recorded one tune that exceeds the twenty minute mark.

ood to hear from you
Ciao

Cru..(666...illuminati....redrum...) Sorry bout that...don't know what came over me....oh yes I do...irrationality...good day. ;-)

cool!

Sorry for the late reply, thanks so much for that.

Sorry for the late reply my friend, such nice words and i hope all is well in your world.

"When the ancient Celts would make their knotwork, they would always intentionally leave a flaw. It was their opinion that the only thing capable of perfection were the gods. Once I heard that years ago, it gave me a new appreciation for flaws in our work. It keeps it human. It's almost a little more intimate"

very cool V

The Piano Intro came after the creation of the song and is based on the ending cinders of the song where you may hear a whisper of the piano rift. It was my first attempt at a Piano based intro and by the end I was so emotionally into the piece I was jammin hard on the keys and slightly touched off that wrong note. So I will keep it there to remind me that we are all flawed. And that that's OK.
Steve

Thank you. That makes me feel good that you listened again. Warm thoughts.
Cru

1:08 I am jammin all the keys with intense emotive expression, and yes................. I hit a wrong note...good ear. I am not a trained Pianist so this was new territory for me back in 2003. But I like that there is this fault in the composition. I may revisit this in a modern way so who knows what will come of the modern mix in the future. As Always thanks for your insight and appreciate the props.
Cru

I will check it out.

Merci TG!

Thanks for stopping by and sharing your nice words Mod.
Cru

Thanks Alex. It's nice to Know that I can touch people with my music.
Steve

Thanks Spiv, No samples, just sequences and synths. I am happy you have liked this and grateful you acknowledge it. Avant Garde is in both of our souls sometimes and we both need to get it out from time to time.
Always appreciate your words.
Steve

Thank you Ed, I had a moment of artistic indulgence and I started to realize that my work around here may not be mainstream, but is a appreciated as a "Musicians musician". For that I am humbled and extremely grateful. Versatility is just my wanting to explore every nook and cranny of music. That curiosity keeps me going.
Slainte my friend.
Steve

Merci Ant!

Angelo Badalamenti - "Nostalgia" is an amazing song and a very cool comparison to his work. I am Honoured.

"That classic Crucethus duality between light and dark isn't quite as prominent in this one"
Oh it's there just very subtle, but it's there.
" Like a leaf skating on the breeze."
Or like a Baby Bird leaving it's nest and it's mother talking to it.
As always thanks for your insights ValD.
Steve

THANKS!

Thank you!

Glad u enjoyed this was pure fun and expression musically for me to do.

I do like to mix it up with the genres every now and then and I am glad when you listen and comment as you have a good ear for music. (Besides being a great musician in your own right)
Cru

Thank you very much for that Compliment Orlando.
Steve

"So this must be where R Kelly got his title for that annoying worldwide hit. Sue that fool for some big bucks!"
I have, but he threatened to pee on me, so I declined. (even though I am half German)
"Nice, big piano intro. Good sound and playing. Vocals are subtle and work fine."
Thanks as I am not a natural Piano Player but completely self taught.
"I'm duty bound to say it and you'll probably tell me you can't hear it, but there's a big, big " pop at 1:24. An edit/sample switch no doubt."
Nope I hear it, in future edits I will smooth it out.
"1:38 and airy, wandering arps that I like. Not expecting this but I am expecting some stock house beats soon. Will they come?
" Nope they will not come in this song. so buckle up.
"Good introduction of whiplash clap."
When a problem comes along... you must Whip it!
"2:27 shit gets a lot cooler with that killer ride. Reminds me a little of some d'n'b and jungle ride work. I should use something like that in my music."
I am thinking of breaking down the elements of this song as samples for this site so stay tuned!
"2:41 lead pad sound is very beautiful. Nice, slow attack movement. Not a sound I've heard in your tracks before (I think)."
That may be true.
" keep waiting for a big beat to drop in this. Maybe after the next drumless breakdown."
Nope not gonna happen in this tune
"4:42 and you're getting on your kazoo for a bit."
No Dum Dum (flinstones reference) http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/71kiXjLfpoL._SL1500_.jpg
No Kazoos or Ducks were harmed in the processing of that sound which went through two synthesisers.
"I'm still waiting for a steadier, fatter beat to drop but instead it's some mysterious weirdness and pitch bending in this dreamy, lazy chill track."
PSYCHE!!!
"6:43 and the piano's back as a sensible return to your starting point."
I love Coda's as a reference point in a song!
"Overall: good work, good mix, good sounds etc. My only real suggestion is a steadier cooler beat after a while as this seems to be crying out for it. It can still be chilled out though I do also like the drum work you do have (otherwise I wouldn't say so)."
Glad you liked the drums. Interesting that your clamoring for dance beats now.
"Mega electro funk workout coming from me soon. A continuation of my track Reckful. Will probably be called Bright Side Of The Sun."

Nice words my friend.
cru

I am humbled by your words. and great to hear from you again Michael
Steve

Alex, always spot on with the instrumentation. It is a synth sound from the Korg EA-1 processed through the MS2000 Vocoder.
Thanks as always.
cru

Merci domr. Merci
Cru

Thanks mightymemphis. I agree I should have added more piano work. something i might play around with in the future as I now own an actual piano instead of using the Yamamha grande piano from the RM1x.
cru

True MattBeater, it is a clumsy, but emotional start. Sort of how a small bird in a nest clumsily flies out of the nest. Then the whip sounds are the beating of wings until the break at 5;30 when are young chick soars into the sky. (the vocoded synth solo is the mother bird encouraging her young with Bird-talk). Music used to tell a story.
cru

Thanks Easy. Song was originally recorded in 2003 I just remastered it (Originally the piano I used was from the Yamaha RM1x and I filtered it too much with Cutoff and Resonance, so a low pass filter and eq, later I re-engineered it. Love-Trap I like that name but interesting that you find it a current sound. My more experimental works like this tend to be years ahead of being accepted. But I also understand what you mean especially with the sub bass , glitchy drums and the metalic percussion.
Thanks for the comments.
Cru
