Something from the past.

[Wookiee]

Music production and listening here at The 4077 has been a little on the back foot over the last couple of months due to circumstance beyond a Wookiee's control.  I was listening to FreddyJ's new tune and checked out my own Soundclick page and discovered some of my old stuff there, thought I should share this old work when I had little idea of what I was doing mix wise.  (I still probably do not)

I wrote Dripples sometime around 2002 to 2004 , using mainly hardware synths JV1080, Korg 05R/W, the drums come for the SW1000SG Card.

Thanks for lending this your ears.

I always enjoy your unique approach Wookiee. So are these kind of “steam of consciousness” compositions, or do you have a more focused direction at the getgo? Probably a bit of both?

You and Freddy have set the tone for my day; thank you!

Hi Wookie,i've listened your song and I have felt a certain nostalgia when I have identified sounds that have been recorded in the memory of all lovers of musical technology. It is an easy song to hear, and beautiful and even relaxing. A job very well done.

[Wookiee]

@DeeringAmps Thanks Tom, rarely is anything focus in the Wookiee mind, this was probably inspired by one of the voices I found on the JV1080, then as I noodled the tune developed and just fell out of the furry paws.  Appreciate your time and ears.

@FJ Lamela Thanks for having a listen to this old tune and thanks for your kind words they make this furry alien happy.

Wookie
Boy that sounds like the music I was doing around that time. "Dripples" could have been a preset making those drippy sounds?
Very relaxing and enjoyable. Thanks for posting.

[Wookiee]

@bjornpdx My thanks for lending this old tune your ears, no single patch but a couple played in parallel from the JV.  I appreciate your time and thanks for the comment.

Hi Wookie,

Another great meandering melody from the furry master - how time flies!

Thanks for sharing.

Good Job!

Thank you Paul, the trick is not to blink to often  thanks for the listen and comment.

I enjoyed it - a very interesting composition.

[Hidden Symmetry]

Dripples is a good title for this , liked that transition around 3:20.

[Wookiee]

@Douglas Kirby Thank you, I had very little idea of what I was doing back then. (Some would probably say i still don't)
 

[Wookiee]

@Hidden Symmetry The title came after the composition, the tune grew very organically when finished it needed a title.  Thanks for your ears and comment.

Absoflippinlutely enjoyed the heck out of this song.  I have said this before but at the risk of repeating myself too many times ---- you have quite a talent for blending sounds to come up with some wonderful music.  I particularly enjoyed the introduction of that flute like sound (and the change up) that came in around 5:40.  This is a long song but it kept my attention throughout.  Very nice indeed!!!  Oh ya, Dripples --- perfect title!

Thanks for posting!

[Wookiee]

Thank you @freddy j I stumbled across this piece of history whilst listening to one of your tunes on Soundclick.  Thought I should check out what I had on there.  Again  thanks for your very kind words and your ears and comment.

Love it when the drums come in - oooooh that arp....

[Wookiee]

Thank you Daryl.

Nice drony sequence Wookie with cool drums and synths kicking in. 

[Wookiee]

@Ramesh Kavassery Thanks for the listen and comment, sorry for the small delay, had some surgery on Saturday that has left it almost impossible to use the right paw to type or use a mouse.

I like this one very much Wookie ,

Some of the musical passages of this tune cross over into a sort of progressive fusion type of territory in places ....You always use choice synth sounds ,

Also very nice orchestrations  and thematic motifs .

 

all the best,

 

Kenny
