Words have much power, they can wound, and they can heal and tears will cushion the blows.

Adversities are there for our building of character and we must go through them, not around them. In this we way we learn, and develop ourselves thick skin that can endure what the world throws our way. Always be strong brother Wolf.
We must always check our attitudes everyday.

Blessings to you - brother Dragon.

Not since 2012 I'm afraid Mr Wolf. Started in 1996 and 12 albums later it ended.
Thanks for the props.

Hi. Thx. I'm play bass guitar.

Thanks for the compliment and support for the vocals and song. I like the bass line also. You did a great job on it.

i had hoped for a kinder, gentler butterfly effect. but perhaps my frame of mind during the 'Tang' process did not permit it. I ended up with the 'aluminum winged butterfly' or just say the 'iron butterfly'! The track became something harder, edgier than I had imagined.

But I am happy if I conveyed someething of the butterfly's perspective on her world. Thanks for your listen and considered comment mr. wolf.

Sorry for the slow reply.

Always happy to teach people new English words. Even when I don't intend to.

"You had me after the first seconds"

Same here - I love listening to that very direct start and simple killer riff. The sparse, swung drum groove really helps bring the riff out.

""guitar signal interruption" (may I say a chasm?) @ 1:38"

Yes, a nice little pause. A double extension of the same thing from around 0:32. I love it.

"a Good slide guitar solo"

One of my best ever. Very melodic. At 1:48 there's another.

2:52 the track drops back down and there is some nice chillout bass g.

"nothing new from you, but interesting."

Lots of new stuff in this track, especially the unusual combination of a lead undistorted guitar part over a low, heavy riff. I also do that at 7:35.

All the timestretched guitar parts are a new technique I really enjoy. Some sound so much like vocals. 3:46 sounds just like a woman.

""mildly-wild" guitar solo (with some notes borrowed from an eastern scale?"

Yes, some is a crossover between dark and Eastern scales. But I only know two scales (major and minor) so I can't really tell you about them.

"@5:00 almost a reprise of the original riff"

Not really. That's where a distorted bass g part arrives on top of the sub bass (which is too loud throughout the track).

""complete stop" gives the listener time to breath"

Yes, it's supposed to be a dramatic shock. Then some haunting guitar voices and then I'm back with a new heavy riff.

"~7:05 ... double tempo"

Not exactly but I know what you mean. It's just a drummer's technique for making things more intense and busy.

"slow down and prepare for the ending"

I love the last minute and it really feels like a warm, beautiful conclusion to an epic journey. The timestretched guitar voices are really beautiful as things are slowing down.

Thanks again for the detail, even if you didn't like this one as much as I do.

Thank you very much mr wolf 14. I used "spicy guitar plugin 32-bit" and I added fruity reeverb to this plugin.

It does sound very devo-bot, does it not?! Honestly this seems like so long ago... but who am I to judge?! Thank you for the respect, my friend!

Hey MrWolf, thank you very much for your kind words they are greatly appreciated, I like to play guitar and will do more of it in future tracks..be over to check your page very soon, thanks again mate! cheers Dave :)

Thanks. My favorite part is your awesome bass.

Hey Domenico,
nice to read something from you.

Good to know that you think that i don't make boring stuff
and also nice to know that you could enjoy, in a way, the observers to this track.

When i was working on this one i had the idea to mix the english and german parts every line but the sound of this two different parts are to different (in my ears) and so i did it in that way you found it here.

And, not you have to thank me that i share this stuff with the comunity, i have to thank you and the rest of the comunity that you take some time and listen to my kind of music.
Comments like yours are the reason why i share my art.

So thanks a lot for your kind words.

stay tuned
joe

Hey man, thanks for listening and the suggestions. Yeah sax is hard to emulate but I quite liked the one in this even if it is not obviously real! Glad you liked it though :)

Domenico... you are definitely not insane my friend. your one of the sanest people I know here! Demon disco at it's finest. This song is really a test to make sure you haven't had a stroke!
Steve

Oh hi my friend! :)
Happy to be back and read from you here & there!
You're right Domenico, this sounds real awkward with these too different parts. I should've worked more on it but I'm so in love with that beautiful song.
Daccordo mi amico, I'll upload more thingies asap.
Take good care,
Kiss & hug,
Carole

Hello Domenico!

Good to see you again.

Thank you so much for your kind comment, I truly appreciate your support.

I must say that I totally transformed the original 'Premonator' to something entirely new but I didn't expect it will turn into something like that as I worked with given material experimenting a lot, I mean: there is an autotune hard processing on vocals and my arrangement is very different from Spivkurl's version (it will be published at some point if the future as well!). I am still learning how to record real synthesizers (I've used Roland JunoDi and Arturia Microbrute exclusively for creating all instrumental parts of this song). I didn't actually use any of 'epiano' sounds but a combination of acoustic piano and string pad. For now I am still by presets but I think I should find more time to create my own patches soon. I will be definitely expanding my synth sound in the future.

I am happy you liked the song. Thank you again.

Best, Alex

Hey! Welcome back.

Glad you liked the piano. Others seem to as well.

I'm having issues with the second half of this one. Adding, taring down, shuffling, crying. It's not going very smooth. I just hope, when I update this, it wont sound forced or contrived.

Always elated to learn new words. I've heard this one forever, but never looked it up to use it properly.

Take care.

Evan

I appreciate it very much, Domenico.

Guitars are all real, but there is synth in here in the verses. Thanks for the listen and your thoughts.

Take care.

Evan

Thanks for listening.
I think you're right about War Pigs ... just me getting a bit to adventurous I think.

Thanks for the kind words. The drums were actually dubbed from my keyboard. It took a lot mixing to create a real drum sound. I couldn't find a proper slow 6/8 blues drum loop so I just settled for the keyboard drums.

Lobos-Tesseradecade.

"the "guitar version" of your bass sound"

I do not have any guitar effects or anything like that. I have my Line6 Bass PodXT Live and that's it. That may explain the tones, but yeah, It's still my playing and I pretty much just to layered lead lines.

"I don't like the marimba"

Understood. I like the way they bring a happy vibe to whatever I put them in. I see how people would not agree though.

Thanks for the listen and the kind words.

Evan

Thank you very much Domenico ! I'm really glad you liked this one...much appreciated!:)

So see ya at part 2...:)

Orlando

Hey MrWolf , Nice to hear from you. I think you solved my problem. I never thought of the sax part. I'm going to give that a whirl. How is the little one doing? I bet it's not so little anymore. Kids grow real fast. Thanks for the comment. Your friend in music. PDMuzak (pat)

Ocinemod!

"no bass guitar? why not?"

There's some in the beginning, but after that, I focused on guitars and the drums, and when I had it a way I liked it, I was kinda out of room. Clipping a few times without bass is not a good sign. I really don't compress much at all anymore, but I think it's the layered kits wreaking havoc.

I believe the issue with the lack of brightness in the drums is a "Garage" kit that is layered in there, with some reverb and just a darker sound. I'll look into accentuating the highs there.

Also, I've never really worked with swing rhythms before, so I need to learn to be more creative with them. I'll go back and do some drum-dickery.

Thanks for the listen and the feedback on the drums!!!

Take care.

Evan
