Way Up". Nice work. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the feedback. I don't know the music of Eno/Cale. I'm assuming the Eno refers to Brian. I'm going to have to check them out.

Thanks again for commenting.

At one point he was doing all these collabs with everyone, and "Wrong Way
Up" was with John Cale from the Velvet Underground. There is one with Jah
Wobble (P.I.L) titled "Spinner", and another with David Byrne (Talking Heads)
titled "My Life In The Bush Of Ghosts". Give them a listen, you won't be
disappointed! :)

This is a good song I would like to listen to others of yours how long have you been recording because I like the sound and think the production is good
Take care

Thank you. I'm glad you like the song. I've been recording at home for about 2 months. The iMac and its attendant gear was a Christmas present for myself. I have been writing songs and playing piano since I was a teenager.

Thanks again for commenting. I will be sure to check out your music.

I hope that you will find this a compliemt. I haven't heard anything
from them in quite some time. I like your vox work on this. This is a
nicely structured tune too. Excellent lyrics... i have to say though, I
think that your vox on this is just begging for a full on orchestration. I
did like the synth work though, but I can't help but to imagine what
your voice would sound like in some grand display.

If this is some of your first works, I am just blown away. I can't wait to
watch your continued growth. I hope that you don't find these words
offensive. Hanging out here, it growth is bound to happen.

Thanks for sharing this. Very nice work! - Dion/Cyd

Thank you so much. How can I find anything you have said offensive.

I myself look forward to being continually inspired by hanging out here. And if growth is what is in store for me...I say...Bring it on!

I will re-record this song in a different style some day. I was just itching to try out some dance beats and couldn't help myself.

Thanks again for taking the time to comment.

There is poetry to your music and lyrics... This is something you can sing
to a child and soothe a hurting soul... It has a theatrical quality to it,
somehow reminds me of a song in Phantom of the Opera.

Reminds me a bit of Antony from Antony and the Johnsons.
The guitar was a good, unexpected touch.
Very good production thoughout.

You are now the third person who has compared me to Antony and the Johnsons. I find that a compliment. I do suppose that both our voices have a unique quality and the vibratos and prominent.

Thank you for commenting and listening.

I think you did an excellent job producing this piece. I loved the lyrics as
well. Im interested to know more about your studio setup (i.e. keyboard
etc.) It looks like you've had about as much experience with this stuff as I
(2 months) but somehow have a much cleaner sound. Im very impressed.
I'll definately check out some more of your music. Great job!

Thanks for the comments and I'm glad you like the piece. I have an iMac G5 20" Power chip. (I bought the computer in December and just missed the whole Intel thing.) I chose not to spend too much money at first in case the whole experiment with home recording was a bust, so my peripherals were less expensive. I have an Inspire 1394 audio interface and that's what my mic is plugged into. The mic is Audio-Technica AT 2020 Cardioid Condenser mic. (I'm currently struggling with voice recording and wonder if I need a better mic.) My controller/keyboard is a CME UF8 keyboard with weighted keys. It has controllers for Logic Pro compatibility, but not for GarageBand. I have purchased Logic Pro 7.1, but am still mostly using GarageBand. I haven't quite "graduated" to Logic Pro yet.

That's pretty much it.

Cheers.

Silky light combination of Mandy Patinkin (which gives it a showtune feel)
and a cross between Bowie and Annie Lennox (giving it an art rock / post
disco feel). I really like the feel of your voice and that you have kept the
backing simple so your vocals are highlighted. My ears wanted my
variation to the drum track, a few more arrangement variations, but I
always make things too complex. You have a wonderful voice and
performance ability.

I am humbled by your comments. Thank you.

I appreciate your comments in several of my postings. It's useful to hear a pattern in your comments. And I'm hearing "work on the rhythm tracks." So, I will be a good little student and do more homework.

As if playing around on a computer making noise was hardwork! :)

Great song! If David Byrne sang the Phantom of the Opera theme song, this is probably what it'd sound like :)

[ Reply to This ]

Thanks. What a combo - David Byrne and the Phantom theme. How intriguing! LOL.

Thanks so much for listening and commenting. David Byrne singing the Phantom....

Still imagining that one....
