Mosaic

It's good to hear from you, Mosaic. If I got a bit of chill in this one I'm glad. Trying to collab on this one now with mindheist for special effects. He is in Houston though and I am waiting to hear that he is ok. Tx for positive feedback. Regards Dan

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.

Hey my friend,

Sorry for the late reply, but I was away for quite some time. Nice to come back and read your precious comment, Thank you so much for all the wonderful words and compliments.:)

Hope all is well____Orlando

Hey Mosaic, thank you for stopping by to hear this one!

I've been doing a lot more work in a live and spontaneous manner this year, as was my intention. I choose my instruments, I hook them together, and I record what I do with them. Sometimes there is an intention to begin with, sometimes not, but nothing beyond that really.

It is interesting hearing yourself and others speak about dissecting a track like this, considering only two instruments were used. I suppose I should take it as a compliment of the complexity of what was done with them, especially since they were either built or modified by me.

It is meant to be a bit chill, thoughtful or meditative, rather than some sort of dance or pop track.

I always appreciate hearing from you! Thanks!

Mosaic, first please understand that I was simply concerned for a fellow friend and traveller in this life. I would never be intrusive without what I felt was a good reason. I also see that your first and only comment in almost nine months was this one, and that I feel is reciprocation enough for any communcation!

It's been a wild year, but no more intense than previous I suppose. Songs such as this identify what is going on in a way. As you know, I do not drive, so I walk a lot. I am extending my range pretty drastically, putting on 15-20 miles per week usually. I hope to walk to the state forest in the south of our county eventually.

I think that in a local dank forest (I might even say disturbing) I found the inspiration I need to finally finish and release this album, as well as the cover art. Things are obviously different than I had previously assumed. I am happy to have some sort of breakthrough though.

I have been playing classical guitar more, since getting new strings, and we got some acoustic bass strings for my wife as well... so hopefully something will come from that. I know that it has already made me a better musician.

Looking forward to speaking with you again, all in good time. Have a great day!

Thanks for taking the time to provide feedback on my track, Mosaic. Very much appreciated.

I actually mastered three versions of the track using LANDR, each producing a different volume level and level of compression. I usually opt for the middle level, but for some reason (which I can't remember) I decided to go for the lowest intensity level on this track. In retrospect, I think I should have gone one notch higher.

Crucethus, in his comment, has suggested that I insert a low-pass filter on the synth track in the project. I think I'll give that a try and then remaster to a higher volume level generally. Of course, this means that I need to figure out how to automate the controls in my filter plugin, something that I've never tried before. :)

Thanks again,

Eric

thanks mosaic. I had some luck picking the patches out of Harmless synth and Burt already had a cool 'monk chorus' hit. Glad this one gave you the ghostly moment. Thanks again for checking it out.

Hey friend, good to hear from you! As you can probably tell from this track, life has been a bit frightening and painful of late... and saying "a bit" is being optimistic. I've been working hard to hone my skills at performing entire songs live on my own, since it really is the ideal for a multi-instrumentalist such as myself... plus it will give me that much more power when Love and I get back to work on Iris-T-Shirt tunes, since we did a lot of things live. Beneath it all, I'm doing okay, aside from continuing legal issues. I should get my bankruptcy certificate in the next couple of weeks, so that will be nice. Still hopeful that I won't be sent to jail in January... Been working hard on various projects, such as putting up a nice stylish fence in our side yard, making the house more secure, and harvesting some nice produce and herbs... raspberries in November in Minnesota is not normal at all (goes out to those still in denial of the drastic change in climate). Thanks for taking a listen, and leaving your always supportive words! I will try to keep in touch better!

thank you. I used to listen to kitaro in the 80's. along with jean jarre. some good music. damn I'm old. thank you.

It may be an issue that I cleaned up in a later version of this track. Good catch, my friend. Thanks.

Thanks for laying it out, i appreciate it.
You know, it's a bit confusing if one says the track is to busy and someone else says to add more stuff ;)
I used a big room echo over the entire track , maybe not the best thing to do but that may explain the rolling bass. There's 2 different hi hats, one with higher volume so it would add to the rhythm of the track.. i just like that effect.. but i see now its quite useless if the track doesn't build up more. I will definitely consider all your advice, also for future projects this will be helpful to me so thanks again!
Sonny

I'm so sorry for the late reply mate....I somehow overlooked your comment...it happens!

I like your aquatic approach to this one...very interesating !:) As always good to hear from you and may I express my gratitude for all kind words and support...means the world !

With much appreciation_____Orlando

thanks your welcome

Salam mosa ... thanks bro ...
Peace and respect too dadash ...

Thank you Mosaic! One aims to please. :-)

Thank you so much!

Thanks for the comment mate,

Yea quite some tiny details. I like my tracks like a good glass wine. Easy enough to drink enjoyable but yet a wine that has tiny details in it that gets discovered by drinking it a few times more.

Best of luck with your shoulders!
