Coooooool!
As a fellow celt (Scotch background) I really dig this! I would have liked
some info on the hardware used to produce this. Nice arrangement. fairly
balanced mx.

Slainte!

This was mostly GarageBand and Tiger on a 17" PowerBook.

I recorded the "vocals" using a utility that converts Text-to-Speech (that's
Vicki, I believe) and captured the audio with Audio Hijack Pro. I edited the
resulting AIFF file with freeware Audacity and then used the Apple Loops
Utility to turn the vocals into an Apple Loop.

The Irish harp and flute are from Apple's World Music Jam Pack. I edited and
rearranged the loops to get the melody and counterpoint.

I think it could use an edit or too now (I was very excited when I posted it
because I had just come up with the idea of the vocals to a track I had made
weeks ago) but all the parts are there.

You guys are totally welcome to remix. I'll even send an archive to anyone
who asks!

Rock on!

P.S.: This is exactly the kind of composition the anti-loops people hate.

I mean the "lyric" is an old Gallo wine commercial repurposed to twist some folk
music riffs with wah wah guitar and hip hop drums.

Not an original element in there. All recycled. Can't be good.

I, personally, believe the musical output is more important than the ingredients.

I think what you have done is amazing. No anti-loopist here.

I do both kinds of music: As OATH (my solo gig) I play all the instruments except
for drum loops. As TANDEM (me and my son Nathan) the music is entirely loops
with no playing at all. Both work for me. Both are fun. And composition is
composition.

Be well!

Neat
Sounds are really neat. I like the drone sound, it is quite different than
your normal celtic drone! Good job.

Neat
That drone is the same harp as the melody, dropped down an octave and run
through the Wah/Funky Wah filter with some AUMatrixReverb thrown in.

Glad someone noticed! :-) Thanks.
