TracingArcs Posted December 5 Posted December 5 The title track from my new album release. I discovered you can do do tape-like looping in the free Valhalla Supermassive. So took a piece I had written for an art installation and improvised over it. Also added from Pianobook the DS Instrument Babblings by Anamorfest (quotes from Ulysses by James Joyce - hence the title). Available for free d/load at Bandcamp : https://bemused1.bandcamp.com/album/shut-your-eyes-and-see And Jamendo : https://www.jamendo.com/album/615707/shut-your-eyes-and-see 3
bjornpdx Posted December 10 Posted December 10 I could tell by the waveform this would be a slowly pulsing track. I like the almost hypnotic effect it has on the listener. Very well done. Enjoyed it. -Bjorn 1

I used to look at the grooves on vinyl to see if it matched up to the sound.😂 Many thanks for the compliment.
PhonoBrainer Posted December 11 Posted December 11 So good I listened twice. For me, she could recite a bit slower from the passage. It's a real speed up when the vibe of the drone elements suggest relaxation. If you did slow her words down and perhaps add a dash more reverb to them, then the overall piece would be longer? Which I for one would like! Very spot on for a good chill, thanks for sharing it! cheers, -Tom 1

As each phrase was on a seperate key on the Decent Sampler instrument. And each I found was at a different level and tempo😒. So a lot of bouncing of individual files and processing involved. I did try a little stretching but it did not sound good at all.
FreeEarCandy Posted December 13 Posted December 13 Oh yeah. This is very nice. The dialog was a bit hard to understand in certain areas, but I think it kind of adds to the mysterious nature of the piece in a strange way. Well done! 1

treesha Posted 4 hours ago Posted 4 hours ago I like the instrumentation and mood. It lulls you in. I agree some of the words are hard to make out but the babbling fits. I like the ending. Enjoyed it
