When I remix I will turn down the piano. I am not going to rekey this one, so I will just adjust the vocals down a bit too. Really, that just means bringing up some more presence to the percussion and bass line. And providing a bit more spread between the piano and vocals. I appreciate the input! And thanks for the compliment, nke, it means a lot.

It is a really nice tune and I like the use of "transmission" mid way thru...

Yeah, ...I enjoy the epic-pop thoughts in this one. Yeah, gets huge pretty fast: so you get a shorter response here since I've found that replying while considering all that gets huge pretty fast.<br /><br />Similar issues regarding production on the visual arts front especially since producing more paintings, sculptures, installations uses up stuff and often involves toxic and non-eco-friendly materials and practices. In light of that, cranking out pop songs in the modus digitalus seems pretty benign, so, "damn the torpedos..."<br /><br />Like you say, too, it's a participation and, in a way, it's someting like incumbent on us who do and can create even trifles to continue on whatever level, a part in... or maybe that's personal issues...<br /><br />Cool-looking statue.

Still haven't listened to it as much as I'd want for a lenghty commentary, but that may be something for which to be thankful. Hooray Thanksgiving! Anyway: like the sound and melody line and the quick, light percussion, but maybe a slower tempo over all and a bit murkier on the piano sound; I'd like to hear Kelly's voice a couple or so notes lower for the song (yes, I know that would affect the rest too); I think the speakers on the computer aren't giving me a good vocal-instrument mesh. That's my two cents.

Yes, of cours...Thanks for your thoughtful comments. Yes, of course, I was doing way too much in the above post - trying to sum up a month's worth of thoughts quickly. It should be two or three posts.<br /><br />I like knowing that the pots I'm twisting have a one to one relationship with the electricity underneath. You are right that there is a difference between synthesis and interface - but analogue interface developed to track what was going on in the electricity. And I like that more organic relationship of interface to synthesis.<br /><br />However, I do love the new kinds of digital modulars like jasuto. I suppose what I would love would be a kind of touch-screen jasuto style interface with all analogue circuits.<br /><br />Oh, I don't know. I love real physical knobs! I'll reflect more later.

And you can have a minimalist interface to an analog synth: Roland JX-10, Kawai K3 (OK, they are hybrids...).<br /><br />Most system are somewhere between. But the interface is not the synthesis method. And with digital system you always get the opportunity to "built" an interface that fits your need. Say, using a BCF-2000.<br /><br />Personnaly I like both analog and digital method, but not for their usual interfaces. I found digital to be the right path to explorer certain synthesis: granular, wavetable, sample (you can do a lot). With analog, i get a more "electric" relation. It saturates, it behaves, it changes with temperature. You plug a CV in an audio by accident and you get unexpected results. You can cheat with analog in a way that digital wont let you. They complement each other.<br /><br />But there's another synthesis method: organic. Hiting objects, with a stick, with a mallet, brushing, blowing, stretching. And combining methods. It's another very creative way to creat sound!Exsurdohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03990506106088636591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1061635767613319619.post-67653248765945874822009-08-19T11:46:58.114-05:002009-08-19T11:46:58.114-05:00Oooo, funky.
