Description

Drakonis: This is my "Ember-Rekindled" piece (original can be found here), with Ziti's beautifully relaxing guitar caressing the flames. I am delighted and in awe of where he took this... the kind of music that, like that perfect friendship, you wish could last forever. Thank you so much Fran!

Ziti: When I heard Ember, I fell in love. These dreamy, sad pieces are a favorite of mine, and Drak's piece had guitar parts hidden in it. It took me a few tries, but i got them to pop their heads out. I tried to make the guitars live comfortably within Drax's sweet bed, but they bubbled over a bit, but I think the feeling of vague unnamed sadness is maintained. Thank you Drakonis for this gift.

	Dreams Ah, it's so airy and colorful. Excellent addition, ziti; the guitar reminded me of Adrian Belew's playing at the end of "Ballet for a Blue Whale". And that soundbed is extra sweet. Nice going guys! Check out my latest song called Mercury (RPM 6)

	Amazing! This is just so beautiful guys! The original was great, but always seemed to be missing something - not any more. How do you explain it when an instrumental brings you to tears (but not necessarily in a sad way)? I really can't say much more, an absolutely perfect ambient piece. Wonderful playing as usual Fran. Brilliant! Neil Check out my latest song called News Is Gonna Break

Amazing!
Hi Neil,
Thank you for stopping in (even before breakfast!) to listen to this, and get
swept away. This is the ultimate compliment to me, to have the music reach
deep inside you and stir up feelings. That happens to me with a number of
(classical) instrumental pieces, and it is what I have strived to do with my
music too. Ember has been getting close to my "voice", and I was honored
and then left in awe when Ziti offered to "try some stuff", and came up with
this... as if he had read my mind, as I'm a sucker for the bluesy dreamy
sliding guitar. I think the two voices compliment each other nicely and evoke
some powerful emotion, just what I wanted to do! Thank you again for
sharing our vision.
ttfn,
Drakonis

Bravo guys! I must say, to my ears, this is a completely
different song. Drak & Ziti, you've warmed up that cool,
damp cavern. Smoke trails still linger long after this is over.
I'm really impressed. Ziti, you've added a slight Jeff Beck
color to this. It's funny how different instruments can send a
song through a time warp: Modern ambient electronica to
Pink Floyd. Okay, okay, if you insist... faved! Great collab!

It is funny, Ziti *swears* he's not listened to my favorite Pink Floyd Album "Wish
you were here", but I heard strong Gilmour influences all over this... but then
he's introducing me to Jeff Beck, whom I'd sort of forgotten about somehow with
my head stuck in the Floyd.

Glad you liked this so much, he did indeed alter the mood of the piece, but not
the intensity, he puts so much into this. It really fits well.

Of course, you know what version of Ember I'm waiting for now? (evil grin)
ttfn,
Drakonis

I have enjoyed pink flloyd when i have heard them. It sounds like spacey
blues to me....but I can honestly say I haven't heard the album you refer to. I
did however listen to a 2 cd live set that was very nice. In my earlier years, I
spurned most rock music of the day for blues records. I hardly listened to
zeppelin, hendrix, the who, or most of the rockers of the day. I loved Jeff
Beck and still do. Peter Green, Clapton, Santana, Larry Coryell, Mike
Bloomfield and the Allman Bros (DUANE IS THE MAN)... were the rock guys i
listened to. I like zep alot now and hendrix's blues playing is monstorous to
me. But my love of all styles of guitar playing has grown over the years, and I
listen to and enjoy any kind of music presented with passion. Guitar is such a
universal language...the hours I spend playing one are my prayer time. As
hard as I have worked at it, it has never been work for me to play guitar. It
ALWAYS brings me to a spiritual place...even if I only pick it up for a moment
to limber my hands or practice some scales...I am transported.....

Drakonis,
yes, a lasting friendship is another gift.

I listened to this today, after it was posted and I have to
say, without fear of sounding big-headed, that I felt very
proud. I have long dreamed of playing this style of music,
but it just isn't possible in a club...specially a blues club!
I LOVE this style of music, and when I listened to this song
as a post, I finally heard it. I could even vote on it without
feeling awful!! (I mean how low is that??!!) but I really don't
care!. This piece, (as well as the other collabs I have done)
are gifts that will remain with me for the rest of my time.
They are like invitations to visit an exciting new friend in a
mysterious location. And this piece is a very beautiful gift
indeed.

I knew it was right after your first listen, when you
noticed the same little koto style lick I played that I had
liked, the lick that made me save that performance...all
the guitars center on that little lick. You recognized it too.

This is a great composition, Drakonis, and as i said, all the
guitar parts were already there...you just forgot to make
tracks for em! And I feel proud!

music is peace

z
ps
don't tell anyone I voted on it ok?? that's just not right...

Drakonis,
One of the benefits of having me post your remix is you get to vote on it! :-)
Again,
thank you for working so hard on this, perfecting it, removing the parts we
agreed didn't work, and keeping the parts I loved... we won't let on to everyone
how much work you put into making this (as I told you) "sound effortless." But it
really seems to just glide you off to that vulnerable place so easily. You have a
great talent for evoking emotion with your guitar, and I appreciate you offering
to enhance my piece like this!
ttfn,
Drakonis

This is lovely... And, harping on my usual themes, I bet it

of the dreamier Hendrix, more thoughtful Knopfler a little
at times, touches of Pink Floyd/David Gilmour...

Yeah, I can hear the Adrian Belew in there, too...

And I mean all comparisons to be compliments, taking
nothing away from the originality of the piece... Nice
sonorities, to borrow Rich's word...

very emotional
Hey PBS, I think you are touching on my original imagery for Ember... although I
saw it a bit more upbeat, in that life continues to pulse even near the edge... we
don't give up easily. I am very happy to know you found it emotional, that is
definitely what I was striving for. Ziti's guitar work I think made it even more
exotic and upbeat than my original (don't know if you listened to the original in
comparison.) Thank you for stopping by!

best version yet
The addition of ziti's sweet, expressive guitar is exactly
what this piece needed!

I've always thought that this one had a lot of potential, but
was still a "work in progress". NOW you have realized the
potential nicely with the guitar; it's a great combination of
your ambient sound-bed with ziti's always-excellent
playing.

It's gratifying to hear a collab like this, when everything
comes together in the right way to create an even more
powerful result than the original.

Great job, both of you.

Very nice!
Drak / Ziti, I liked this a lot. Ziti's guitar playing is awesome (my first time hearing it)! I made a point of listening to the original Ember-Rekindled to better appreciate the layering, interweaving, and texturing done here as well as in the original.

I listen to so much high-energy music to keep myself pepped up that it's nice to listen to something more toned down and just mentally chill for a few minutes.

Boris the Bull

Boris the Bull said 2793 days ago (September 29th, 2005)

thoughts from the bull...
music that can evoke mood is easy enough to create, even by an
amateur; but music that can evoke emotion - real, true, honest
emotion - is extremely rare and, i think, a difficult task. this piece not
only plays on the heartstrings in a nostalgic sense, but it forced me to
look forward, nostaligically, into the future as well... that may only
make sense to me, of course! hehe

this is my kind of "kitchen" music. my after-dinner-cleanup music that
i can simply let wash over me, and as the mess becomes less and the
countertops become glazed with the scent of lemony cleaning
products, the music finds itself at home.

a lovely, moving piece that i very much enjoyed and appreciated! thank
you for sharing your comments with me and your music! i look forward
to more!!

This is probably one of the highest compliments I could wish to get... and I
would like to thank you for sharing your reaction and describing your feelings
about it. This piece (and its motivating emotion) has been lingering on my
computer waiting for me to give it proper attention for years, and I've now
released it for others to experience, and to add to. Ziti did a wonderful job of
adding his heart and craft to it, making it much more than it started out as,
but also maintaining much of its original feel & drive. Thank you for basking
in the warmth of our fire!

The Composer

The Composer said 2789 days ago (October 3rd, 2005)

Lovely Guitar, but a little too much.
Mimicing some of the comments already made.... the piece has a very
nice, relaxing, ambient texture which the guitar fits in with very well
most of the time (the guitar squeals arn't exactly in place in my
opinion, but I like them anyway).

However, I believe the guitar became too dense, far too quickly. The
impact of the guitars was eventually lost because not a lot changed
throughout the piece. In my opinion, I would've really enjoyed it if the
guitar playing was a lot sparser in the beginning (Only one guitar,
slowly and infrequently) and built over the course of the piece. This
would have the benefit of the guitar not 'bubbling over' the ambient
texture so soon and by the end of the piece it would be plainly
intentional.

Another idea might be that the guitars don't fade out with the ambient
texture.... maybe they fade out after, or just stop playing after a little
time after the base texture. Because of the current structure and how
the fades are done at the moment, makes it sound to me as if you've
cut in and out of a piece... and we're only hearing the middle section.

Other than that, nice work the two of you, keep it up.

What MacJams is all about
I'm not up to the challenge myself of making something worthy of drak's evocative backdrop, so I was very happy to hear this collaboration. I read The Composer's comments and can understand his perspective, but for a contrasting opinion, I thought it had a nice "jam" feel to it, where Ziti really sounded as if he were responding to the backdrop and letting his playing express his emotional reaction. You two are well matched and should work together again!

perfect touch
I heard this the day it was uploaded, but it wasn't until tonight that
I went back and heard how the piece evolved. (I tried to see how
old the original Ember was, but the date probably isn't accurate since
it was updated to link to this one). Ziti, you have put the cherry on
the sundae. Drakonis, you were so right that Ember was a nice bed
of coals awaiting some dancing flames. I hope someday that I can be
part of a musical pairing this naturally beautiful.

Ziti, have you ever heard the Roger Waters album Amused To Death?
Some of your licks remind me of it. Nice.

Chillin' with Ziti
He's a great guitarist, really knows how to calm you down... welcome to Macjams! You may want to listen to more of his work, if you like Blues guitar work.

Is Ember really in there, just nod if you can hear me...
Ziti did wonders here, love his additions that just melt right in. A little bird tells me he's thinking of re-doing this, even better, for an upcoming CD of his.

	If embers could glow under water, they would probably be best depicted in beautiful tones like this. Bet the whales would all dig it! :-\| I could easily float along like this and forget I was holding my breath... hehhe . - Harold

hehehe... I could probably listen to Fran's guitar playing like this for days. It is very dreamy, thank you for listening and letting a comment bubble froth... I mean forth. :-)

Guitar players...
Hi and welcome to Macjams! Thank you for stopping in and listening and commenting... and tormenting Ziti... these guitar players get really picky about who strung wire across their wooden boxes... Just don't mention baseball around him (evil smirk). He is one amazing guitar player, and a wonderful guy too, that's why we can "pick" on him.

By the way, this piece (Ember) has quite a variety of collaborative variations from other Macjammers, you may want to listen to a few others (listed on my artist page) for fun comparison(or ask to do your own if you like)... this one is a delight for me.
ttfn,
Drakonis

Homepage player experiment works!
Hey, this is wonderful news... both to hear that you really enjoyed this piece with Ziti's great guitar work, but also that the new random player is introducing people to otherwise forgotten works. Thank you for dropping a comment to mention your enjoyment and your reason for finding it! And if you ever have an inkling for a collab, my original "Ember" is available for you to take for a TimDev spin... just give me a note & I'll send it to you.

So, this also points out the great script by Deputy Doofy (that I have borrowed and updated for my own taste)... it would be harder to notice comments on old songs without Doofy's auto-flagging script... yay!

ttfn,
Drakonis

	How many ways can you say OH WOW!! You two should collab a LOT more, this is so so beautiful. (I meant to put in both of those "so's"). Both of you have such gifts for the evocative - I love this! Check out my latest song called Blind Love (Seeing Heart) - Orchestral Version

	magic touch in mixing... Hi Jakob, Fran gets all the credit for mixing his guitars into the same room too.. that's hard to do, and I think he did wonderfully there... thanks for listening so carefully and noticing his attention to detail! ttfn, Drakonis Check out my latest song called Belle Aire (for Mandolin Orchestra)

	Lovely track The guitar noodling sets off the music really well, it is a delight to listen to. The ambience created is really nice and still does hold a sadness which is insiring. Check out my latest song called The Apothosis Of Us All (Remix)
