Is there no end to the wonders of your poetic talents... I have to admit
to being stupid when it comes to poetry though - I don't always
understand it, because it seems to require an ability to comprehend on
a multitude of levels and at any given point or verse, simultaneously...
Beyond, 'the blue ball is blue', you may lose me... However, something
about your voice; your cadence or rhythm, your tonal inflections and
the use of the chimes, it all had me mesmerized and quietly
entertained.

This tells me that it is likely that you have done what it is that you have
set out to do and as well, you did it well enough to go beyond just
capturing my attention... I have raised my hands to applaud you...

Bravo! JG

This is my first experiment with "captured" sounds. I've been wanting to do some stuff using altered and unaltered natural sounds and sounds made by just banging on various things around the house, in the yard, etc. My origonal intent was to capture the sounds from the lake I frequent near my home, but that really didn't work. I've got to find a better way of capturing stuff outside.

I liked this poem in particular because it reminds me of the above mentioned lake. I grew up near the lake and spent a lot of time swimming, canoeing around in the back waters, wandering along the shore. It is both beautiful and eerie and the poem fits it well.

Thanks, as always for listening and taking the time to comment.

However, I would prefer a bit more volume on the vocal.

I really liked the whole idea though.

I think this is a neat piece, but agree the vocals could come up a bit. Dupe the
track and play with the second.

Thanks, Kev. I had a hard time balancing the vocals with the chimes, but I agree, they do need to be beefed up some. I appreciate you taking the time to listen and comment.

Like how you picked a piece like this and made it gentle and soothing. I
think your backdrop could work for The Bells as well. Cool that you
decided to do this.

This was a really cool idea you had, Christopher, and I had a lot of fun doing it. I had wanted to try a spoken word peice for a while, but really didn't know what I might want to do. I was an awesome experience and a chance to do something different.

A tribute to Edgar Allan Poe! I have one too done way back when...? This
is very different though, reminds me of some Beatnick stuff, could go well
on a scene at a dark night club or as a backdrop to a scary movie (or any
movie for that matter depending on your purpose)... I love how you work
the chimes and bells. Normally I am asking you to bring forward the
voice a little bit (I like it), in this case however it melts well together with
the background sound FX. Very interesting indeed.

You know now that you've mentioned the piece you did you HAVE to post it, don't you? I'd really like to hear it. It sounds really cool. Thanks for listening, Mikki. This was something different and turned out to be a lot of fun.

Those windchimes are amazing ... the detail and the texture they
create are lovely, and an evocation of the wind rippling the surface of
the lake. The effects you've used give it a subtle spooky and surreal
edge. Nice one!

Thanks for the comments, Rebsie. I really like my wind chimes. I'm really pleased with what I was able to do with them. Thanks for listening.

and very good reading - I agree with the comments that the voice could
be beefed up a bit - but at the same time it's interesting to lose focus on
the words and listen to the voice like just another ambient chime.

I just finished listening to "The Tale-Tell Heart" by you and Christopher (which
was awesome). The whole Poe thing has been a blast. I'm glad so many people
decided to give it a go. Thanks for giving mine a listen.
