No seriously ...a new tune

I recently bought a whole load of hardware/software (fed up of the Donks continual abuse ), and this is the tune I made while starting to learn how to use it all.

It's a bit more upfront than H.o.D. ...oh, and for some reason it's called 'The Fugitive' ..(oh yes, and it's got more train noises I'm afraid ).

If you can be bothered, I seriously recommend wacking it up loud on some big speakers - cos it doesn't really come across on little 'puter speaks.

OK then...(it's a 4meg 192 mp3) - The Fugitive -

Sarcastic comments on my workrate very welcome

HOLY SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!


ALERT THE MEDIA ALERT THE PAPERS




I cant DL it fast enough

I barely remember HoD (I was new then) but I remember it was good. This one is amazing too. Love that you play synth leads the way I like synth leads to be played (very well). Played live?

More More

Donks IS recovering from a heart attack as we speak

...oh my god! ... will ... MUST ... download right now. ouff!

...huuiiiii ... okay, i´m not a fan of synth-stuff; but this song is sophisticated - the arrangement, the playing of the harmonies has it´s own character. deWavo ... i had no clue what to expect, and in the first seconds i wasn´t interested.
But the "chorus" grew on me ... dee dip dee dip ....

okay - more!

putte

you know, for a minute then, i thought it said a new DeWaverly track....jeeeze those pills are strong


BTW, love the chorus..."bodytalk...do-do-do-do....bodytalk"

Top Stuff DEW!!! Very cool!!!

Is Atmosphere in there?

Drums maybe a bit louder?


So well there goes this year...... whew now we wait till 2004 for the follow up

nahhhh...I'm on a roll now - six months at the outside

thanks ner0z - that 2nd (Moogy) lead sound is atmosphere, the first is z3ta. Most of the swimmy sounds are from the Motif8, but I had to get 'Adagio Strings' in there somewhere! The mix is probably imperfect, but my ears collapsed under the strain of finishing a tune - so I'll have to listen to it again in a few days.

thanks for the kind words (and noises) puttze 'n Krim

oh yes...prog - I thought of you actually when I played that Moog solo - thought you might be up for a bit of that 'Riding the Scree' sort of behaviour!

deW

bloody hell - that was quick

nice stuff deW! Quite different from HoD, but good quality sound. Where did the drums come from btw? I love the moog playing, too.

Chirpy little number too - not the doomfest I expected after all this time!

Cool. Now you're talking. What's that bassline that kicks in around 1:22?

prog

Damnation! That was worth waiting for! Excellent tune, excellent arrangement, and excellent performance. Does Tony Banks know where you live?

thanks bd - drums were cobbled together from various Stylus patterns

hehe, donks - had an attempt to 'wallow' in the middle there...but I'm obviously too happy at the moment

prog that's a lovely little clicky motif sound, but seriously flanged.

deW

the arrangement on this is incredible!!!!! and the lead is great!

with tunes like this, if oyu only come out with one every six months, it'll be worth the wait

hey Scot thank you so much - that makes me very happy!

It's just a silly little sketch really, but I secretly hoped you might like it!

endmusik - that's really kind, thanks. I look on at your musical fecundity with awe! (not to mention your beautiful pictures).

I'll second that .. love the performace and arrangement. Worth the wait. Now tons more is required

thanks prog - you guys are just so inspiring.

hey deWavo, nice one!

aw, man thats nice! glad you like em

don't keep this up though - I might have to renounce my status as the "anti-dewaverly"

de waverley.. this is fantastic.. i love it. it's the sort of synthyness that is just perfect..


and i love your trains.. they work perfectly too.. and the stylus.. makes me want to crack open my credit card again

i've saved it to my itunes

Here's a little excerpt of the original mix before DeWav took out his somewhat 'west cuntry' vocals....

Well, not a patch on HOD, but after a few listens, it grew on me. It started a bit urgently, but from the 1min mark built up nicely. didnt like the lead braasy sound much, maybe a bit of distortion would cure that

Krim...how could you not like the z3ta 'estimated riff' sound?? it's delicious. (btw, it's meant to start urgently, cos it's supposed to be an express train hurtling past your face with all the bright lights in the carriages flashing by).

thanks Moritz

donks

claire, I'm sooo glad you like it (as I lovve your exquisite CD) - I can go to bed happy now. (btw, use that credit card - because Stylus is a phenomenon - makes writing rhythmic things so quick).

i wish you hadn't said that dew... i have to pay the laptop off first

maybe if it's cheaper in the states... probably not though eh

i'm terrible with vst lust

Wow. This is beautifully produced. Very Depechey chords. Not too keen on the ever so slightly cheesy pad, but the programming's great.

Superb...

fitch...Stylus is probably not an immediate necessity, given the styles you write in at the moment (trying to see things from your bank manager's point of view here ), but if you're doing drum-y stuff, it's a great shortcut if you haven't been keeping up with the intricacies of all the different dance styles out there...nah, you need to get it really!

thanks choocho...I haven't really heard Depeche Mode since Vince Clark left, but it's an interesting chord sequence (Bm Bb Gm Ab) - doesn't really make any sense, but I love the sound of looping back from Ab to Bm - how about this then {{severe pretension alert}} :
B minor is the minor of the relative major of the minor of Ab major..I think that's why it works! ...God, I hope donks doesn't read this!

When you say 'cheesy', if you mean the 'doo-da doo-da' brassy thing, I know what you're saying - several people here have obviously felt uncomfortable with it...but....it's interesting that of all the people I've played it to in the 'real world', every one of them has got really excited by that noise!...I think we're all guilty as musos of avoiding the 'obvious' sounds which appeal to the punters out there, in the search for subtlety and originality......or maybe it's just cheesy!

deW

I like it - it inspired me deW!!!!

You need some "abused catholic who watches horror movies" kinda singing on it!




Erm - someone should say something nasty.

It sounds like a cross between the Clothes Show and a Depeche Mode B-Side.

The kinda shit the Pet Shop Boys are churning out lately.

Fantastic!!!

Really like it!


Reg

Thanks Reg ....(I think )
