Hey, great tune! Love those chords, and that cymbal crash is just gorgeous! Interesting tempo change(s)...interesting in general! Part of me mourns the pop song hiding in the schizophrenic arrangement, but it's all good.
Is that you singing, Kim?

Thanks, liquidbrad. Glad you enjoyed it. 
The cymbal crash is from the Studio Drums Capsule, collapsed to mono, squashed with Voxformer's saturation, and generously reverbed with CSR Hall.
Details of the tempo and key changes are in the Music Theory forum.
I too mourn the pop song. I'm actually working on a separate project of pop songs in a similar style to this (but sticking much closer to pop song form, as opposed to this loose sonata form). These loop sonatas are my test environment, they're my practice.
Yes, that's my singing.

Quick on the mark bduffy! I'm a big fan of that style of chord progression too.bduffy wrote:Hey, great tune! Love those chords, and that cymbal crash is just gorgeous!

Oh yes! REALLY nice percussion line you've got there, and not just the cymbal - I'm jealous
Good overall.

Well, you sound good! Keep singing, wish I could. I thought I saw a second thread with your imprint, I'll check it out.Kim (esoundz) wrote:Thanks, liquidbrad. Glad you enjoyed it.

Whoa how'd I miss this?
I'd want to listen based on the description even if this weren't by that inimitable genius of audio, Jeez/Kim, one of my personal favorite computer musicians on this planet.

You do realize that those 7 and 3/4 measures are even more discomfiting than the full-scale morphing audio dissolution tricks I pull? Lmao, what a thing to pull in the midst of a pop song. Everything, as always, sounds huger than is possible. Isn't it weird having too much music in your head and just throwing gratuitous amounts of great ideas into a song?
I still maintain that the word "can't" doesn't rhyme with "cot" but perhaps my USAicaness is finally showing

Thanks. There's actually no 7/4 or 3/4 in the song. That could be why it's so discomforting.runagate wrote:You do realize that those 7 and 3/4 measures are even more discomfiting than the full-scale morphing audio dissolution tricks I pull? Lmao, what a thing to pull in the midst of a pop song.
Check out the Music Theory thread for details on the time signature changes.What do you mean? I didn't use any magic tricks this time.runagate wrote:Everything, as always, sounds huger than is possible.
As I posted above, this isn't meant to be in pop song form. It's in a series of experiments that let me go a bit further in musical development. I try things out. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't work. I don't think I have "too much" music in my head - I don't store music as such, I generate it. To torture another analogy it's a tap, not a bucket.runagate wrote:Isn't it weird having too much music in your head and just throwing gratuitous amounts of great ideas into a song?
I don't worry about losing a musical idea or not using it to it's potential, because I know there's plenty more where it came from. I definately don't use the USA pronunciation of "can't". Then again, I had to reread that a few times, because I think you pronounce "cot" differently to me as well!runagate wrote:I still maintain that the word "can't" doesn't rhyme with "cot" but perhaps my USAicaness is finally showing
