David Sprouse Posted February 16, 2022 Author Share Posted February 16, 2022 (edited) jack, thanks for listening. I'm using VSL. The dodgy cello is miroslav. That legato is kind of strange sounding.

Bajan Blue Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 Ha ha, what a surprise - i was expecting some Mustached guys with sombreros playing Guitars!! it is beautiful as Jack said - enjoyed it very much - and so much better for not having Mustached guys with sombreros playing Guitars in it!!!

Kevin Walsh Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 Beatiful, David. I ran across this unexpected pleasure while enjoying my morning coffee. I had to listen to it several times and I am still trying to get my head around some of the cool harmonies. Really lovely work, thank you. As for the name, all you need to say is after listening it becomes perfectly obvious. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hugely experimental.. but maybe an exercise in tension and release(?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wookiee Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 As ever David an interesting piece to make my furry ears sit up and listen and wiggle enthusiastically . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supa Reels Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 Why is mariachi so important? Today's mariachi ensembles are a favored entertainment choice to celebrate special occasions such as birthdays, weddings, baptisms, holidays and funerals. Mariachi is so important to Mexican culture, in fact, that UNESCO named it as an Intangible Cultural Heritage. Great work David ..( as always with you ) .. sorry about the late revue as I have a few prob's at home... I was pinged on Band Camp and forgot to say 'good work mate' .. so that done, and for me I really enjoyed it so more please ......

ATB Steve It means alot coming from two of the best composers in the forum. Thanks. Also, I switched the dodgy cello and put in tina guo. It sounds more realistic. Thank you, you two. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noynekker Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 Hi David . . . had a few listens to this now . . . I think you captured the quartet idea very well here, expressive and dynamic through the whole piece. Not your typical Mariachi, more of an intellectual Mariachi. With these sampled instruments you've pulled something acoustically realistic out of them. (If I heard this on the radio I might not think it was samples) I found it an enjoyable and interesting listen . . . now I have to go look up "tina guo" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's only 4'30" but feels much longer to me. haha Tina Guo is a cellist who has a cinesamples cello library that's pretty good. Thanks for taking the time to listen to my music.
