Ross Smithe Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 (edited) Great job Wookie! Great to hear some new sounds from you, and the vocal sounds were non-fatal, BTW! ?? Edited May 21, 2023 by Ross Smithe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark skinner Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 Wookie , that was quite an Experimental piece. I thought the tempo changes were very interesting and effective. I also thought you did a Fantastic job on the vocals. I especially liked the work you did on the toms thru all of the drum track. Very Nice . mark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bjornpdx Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 Wookie, I like the phrase explorations in different chords and I like the vocal which sounded pretty good and not at all hazardous though our budgie is still cowering in her cage for some reason. -Bjorn 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry T. Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 Lots going on there, all extremely well done except (to my ears anyway): I'd eq the drums and cymbals up a half dB or so as they are really well programmed but not audible enough for the listener to hear a more distinct delivery of them. Your vox are really good???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very Nice . mark Thank you Mark, your continued support is appreciated. The idea for the track came in a dream some two months ago, then the lyrics popped into my head as I was reviewing the track a couple of days ago. In all honesty the drums are not entirely my own work, I had a little help from SD3 fills that I tweaked, the main beat is mine though. Did you suss the time signature? You could say it is in 12/8, but just for fun it is alternating bars of 5/8 & 7/8, which allowed for some twists and some slightly erratic jumps. The middle 8/vocal which is in 12/8 though the erratic rhythmic feel is maintained on the ride. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terrific Thank you Lynn, I think that is the way I am going. I have a stupid number of VSTi Synth emulations, three, or is it four, of which are Modular giving an endless source for making noises. Your support and the support of the others here is greatly appreciated, there is another idea bubbling in the ingredients pot waiting for me to find a chance to spend more than the 30 seconds Missi, the dog, lets me have in the studio.

jwnicholson78 Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 If I recall correctly, I survived my last wookie vocal exposure. With more exposure, I'm beginning to rather enjoy them. Super interesting, I particularly looked the tempo changes, and for me the drums were outstanding. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KSband Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 Very creative interesting track, Must have been challenging to program the drums. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markno999 Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 Wookiee, Interesting track, see what you mean about the manic part, the tempo changes gives the feeling my equilibrium is off, kind of like when a plane makes a fast ascent into a steep bank/ turn. Super creative ideas in here including the tempo changes. I rather liked the vocals, sounds a bit like Richard Harris. Nice transition back to original idea after the vocals section, that isn't easy to do seamlessly. Regards 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time to leave the pain alone explore different ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daryl1968 Posted May 24, 2023 Share Posted May 24, 2023 (edited) I tried tapping my foot to this and put my back out The vocal is great - very Floyd. Bravo for your synth choices as usual Edited May 24, 2023 by daryl1968 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barry Seymour Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 I tried to dance to this. My knee replacement is scheduled for late June. At first I thought it was something I did with my mouse wheel. ? It was such a relief when Pink Floyd came in. Good Stuff! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bajan Blue Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 Hi Wookie This is really cool - those tempo changes definitely keep the interest going!! And the vocals sound really good, as others have said definitely a bit Floydish, which is a good thing Cool Stuff Nigel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
