Oh very nice. Very nice indeed
It wasn't me! (well, actually, it probably was) - apparently now an 'elderly' so maybe I forgot!

Nice sounds and well-composed/arranged. You've done a great job camouflaging the time signature. This track flows along very smoothly.
Good work

It may be easier to hear if you think of 15/8 as 4/8 + 4/8 + 3/8 + 4/8. Which is not too hard to follow, until you get to the syncopated parts and then it becomes . This could be a new genre: prog lullaby.
Holger: I think your songs are immaculately composed. The only weakness for me are the sounds which I find a little generic.

I aligned the groups to 4/8 + 4/8 + 4/8 + 3/8 what was "natural" for me. Of course other people might be accustomed to another grouping.FrantzM wrote:It may be easier to hear if you think of 15/8 as 4/8 + 4/8 + 3/8 + 4/8.

The sounds, yes, the sounds. I'm working on it. This song is kind of an hommage to a DX7 I had for years and once bought because the xylophone sound was a must-have for me.
I definitely need a few good pad-sounds and some nice synths and basses. In earlier years it was a lot of fun for me to create some unique sounds. I should put some efforts in it.

I think the DX7 bells were the big draw for me. The song is very memorable, and the orchestration perfectly fit the vocals. The time signature is so smooth I didn't even notice (which is the way that songs with such time signatures should be). Great song!

I'm not complaining. It flows very well. Just when I try to count to 15 and hear all the beats various events are happening on, I realize how intricate this song is.bluebell wrote: I aligned the groups to 4/8 + 4/8 + 4/8 + 3/8 what was "natural" for me.

this was the best use of generic sounds i've heard on here so far!:hihi: haha but really, i enjoyed this very much. great bass and that synth trumpet was expertly modulated, vocals sat in the mix very well too. 3 thumbs up!

Very evocative and crystal clear mixing and arrangement! While the sounds are a bit generic, they sound fantastic, so who cares . Those high bells are so tangible. Glad I'm not the only one that likes odd timesigs.

It felt compositionally strange to me at first , almost like its in an odd scale , which makes it sound very different to everything else around. I didnt notice the time signature once i started listening , in fact , i'd completely forgotten about it due to me trying to work out what processing was being done on the vocal...........?
The production is very clean , with well chosen sounds. Generic yes , but the arrangement makes it interesting.

I added the pre-reverb replacing the initial version. I simply took the first word, reversed it in time, applied a long reverb, reversed the result and put it before the first word, overlapping.2NDMOUSE wrote:i'd completely forgotten about it due to me trying to work out what processing was being done on the vocal...........?
