Description:
This track represents my first collaboration with both Ziti and Mungo. It started when I heard Mungo's ambient track The Temple of Doow Remmaj based on Ziti's Woodjammer One. I totally dug Mungo's completely amorphic remix of ziti's acoustic guitar solo. But I heard potential form there, some places to reshape, and asked to join in. I ended up changing it more than I had intended. It was great fun.
Hardware:
This marks the first track done on my new G5 Quad.
Software:
Cameleon 5000, MX4, B4 II, FM7, Elektrik Piano, Soundsoap, Peak, GB 3, DP 5, Live 5

Yes, its good to be back. After spending the last 7 months helping my father
recover to the point where he can succeed in an assisted living facility,
becoming functional (with help) within a protected environment, gaining an
aspect of his independence back, it is good to begin to reclaim my own life. I
have lots of musical ideas waiting to pour out. This track was something that I
used to learn some new software, and to pay homage to two MJ stalwarts. I'm
looking forward to a good summer. [ Reply to This ]

Not sure what the title I came up with means except to say this is damn
good. I would never have the patience to sit and sinc two different
tunes together with my own playing. Incredible that you could not only
do it but also make it sound as good as this. Kudo's! [ Reply to This ]

trip , flowing like the Nile. Loved the organ and moog sounds.
Great keys, and the arragement of the sounds and parts was excellent.
Digging it.

yeah &mdash 06/15/06 - 02:12:44 AM
What a treat this was. Way cool organ and guitar topped with some tasty electronica spice.
You guys are pro to the bone, and I would surely buy tickets to hear this live. Just imaging what cool lighting effects you could have on stage to this music..
Good to see you find time to work with music Tobin:) [ Reply to This ]
Welcome Back &mdash 06/15/06 - 04:04:42 AM
And what a wonderful mixture of Ziti and my work into something utterly
new and fascinating.
Thanks, Tobin. [ Reply to This ]
Welcome Back &mdash 06/15/06 - 05:45:46 AM
It was your original derivative that inspired me to try something, so you deserve
the biggest thanks. This was great fun, mainly because, as I think back, it is as
if I was actually playing with Ziti in the studio, passing ideas back and forth,
since he was so alive in my imagination throughout. A real treat. And the sense
of alive that existed in your track was something I was continually aspiring to. I
enjoyed finding a chord progression to your morphic ambiences. This made
learning the new software a pleasure. Thanks for letting me mess with it all. [ Reply to This ]
Great &mdash 06/15/06 - 04:26:58 AM
Nice sound. They have obtained a great harmonic atmosphere. Good
sound of guitars and keyboards. I like this. Muy bueno. [ Reply to This ]
Very skillfully done &mdash 06/15/06 - 05:05:43 AM
From the description it seems you must really know your way around all
that equipment, and it sounds nice, but I'm embarrassed to admit it's over
my head. I guess I was hearing it like an introduction to something, so I
kept waiting for something with a more regular beat, but in doing so I
obviously missed the point! I'll give it a few more listens, because I'm new
to this sort of music. [ Reply to This ]

cool pic and music &mdash 06/15/06 - 08:24:49 AM
The beginning almost reminds me of that movie from Beauty and the

Cool Z sounds,
Like the Beatle's reversed sounds as well amongts many other things.
Nice stuff. [ Reply to This ]

Fantastic mix! &mdash 06/15/06 - 08:50:16 AM
I love it when you can just listen to something and enjoy the beauty of a piece and at the same time enjoy the subtleties of the arrangement, melodies and overall mix. This piece satisfies all of the above! Starts out quite simple, with a bit of synth magic, and quickly goes into a masterfully mixed combination of spontanous jamming (great organ playing Tobin, played myself for many years but your improvisation is totally in synch with the other instruments with every note being spot on. The rhythm changes are genius!!!). Especially like the expansion about a third into the piece, with the reverse synth holding back and keeping the tension. Could go on and on here, but let me just say that it was quite an experience listening to this beautiful collaboration!!! Certainly worth every minute of your time!
You mentioned Sound Soap...can i ask if you got "Pro" or the regular version (curious about your expert opinion as I'm looking into getting it myself)? [ Reply to This ]
Fantastic mix! &mdash 06/15/06 - 11:53:22 AM
Thanks for your comments. I got the Soundsoap Pro version and can't recall
what extra it does but I am very happy with the results so far except for when I
was using it inside Peak and would get rid of click, which it did remarkably well,
it would sometimes add a click at the beginning of the highlighted field I was
working in; and when I used it on the entire track it created other anomalies
here and there throughout, but I think this was due to the already compressed
nature of the track. If I would have had Soundsoap before I started, to
use on the raw tracks before I started adding my own layers, I would have saved
myself tons of headaches, which is one of the reasons I got it. I was trying to fix
stuff on my mastered track and it proved challenging. When in doubt, I
always go for the Pro versions. [ Reply to This ]

I got nostalgic &mdash 06/16/06 - 01:58:12 PM
Reminds me of the many good tunes I listened to in my teenages (gosh, that's about a century ago...). Complex and simple at the same time. Tastefully and subtile as ever. Great job all three of you.

hey i think I'm in there &mdash 06/16/06 - 02:22:54 PM
i remember being alone with an acoustic guitar...and my little pipe...
and posting some guitar noodling......nah this can't be THAT???....can
it?...this is really overhelming tobin, the effort you put in here is
amazing, that my little bit of guitar noodling could turn into this...i
thought mungos permutation was very enjoyable as well, but this is
quite a surprise....we should try one that starts with an electric guitar
improv...
deep bow to you sir!
z [ Reply to This ]
hey i think I'm in there &mdash 06/17/06 - 06:27:55 AM
Yes, yes, I'd love to try on that is an electric guitar improv, especially if it leans
toward a organ-lsened Prog tune. Please rip one down and send me the AIFF. I
can't wait! Include as many change of directions as you want, and key shifts.
This time I will Soundsoap it before I merge in into the mix... [ Reply to This ]
Love it &mdash 06/17/06 - 08:40:35 AM
I've been a bit lazy in my MacJams attendence of late and this is one of
the first tracks I have listened to in a a while. Wow! I'm glad i did. I loved
it. The first two or three seconds had me thinking "oh no, cheese" but
how wrong could I be. Marvellous. Bloody Marvellous!

This is thick and rich and musical... &mdash 06/18/06 - 10:33:40 AM
It's like organic psychedelia... 'Tomorrow Never Knows' on steroids... I
mean, like, all natural, organic steroids...
I LOVE backwards guitar...
See, this sounds progressive and experimental and all that, but it never
fails to be musical... That's the unfailing Tobin hallmark...
And yeah, it's good to have you back in the MacJams gene pool, Tobin.

Love that organ! &mdash 06/18/06 - 11:35:06 AM
This was very well produced. Some very interesting sounds going on.
Love the reversing effect on the guitar. The organs are extremely
powerful and full of low range grind. I love that kind of stuff! I
understand this to be an ambient piece? Fine by me. It's just that I kept
waiting for this to, I dunno, change keys or something. Can't quite put
my finger on it. Overall, an excelent performance by all involved.
Production is top notch. [ Reply to This ]
Love that organ! &mdash 06/18/06 - 03:06:17 PM
Yes, I usually change keys several times during an instrumental piece, but I was
playing along to Ziti's base track on this one and he stuck to his tonic. If you
like key changes, please check out "I Sail On" (song #8741, rearranged in song
#10271); any of my Jazz pieces; "Revolution's Son" (song #11303); and
"Escaping The Fray Zone" (#5035). Thanks for your comments. The backward
sounds were all done by Mungo. I love them too; it was what originally drew me
to the project. [ Reply to This ]
Yes... &mdash 06/19/06 - 09:20:43 AM
nice work on the production (musta been a bear!). my favorite section is about 2/3 thru with the interchange between organ and guitar. the reverse sounds set up piece very well. nice work all! [ Reply to This ]
Yes... &mdash 06/20/06 - 07:25:50 AM
The interplay between organ and guitar is my favorite part too. I like how it
sounds like Ziti is playing responses to my organ melody, even tho it was
recorded the other way around. Thanks for your comments. [ Reply to This ]
Very 70s &mdash 06/19/06 - 03:04:02 PM
Sort of a Tangerine Dream slow jamming movement. I dig this. It's not
really what's considered ambient these days, but I can't think of a better
label at the moment.
What's the analogue sounding synth that comes in halfway? That definitely
establishes a 70s vibe. [ Reply to This ]
Very 70s &mdash 06/20/06 - 07:29:25 AM
The synth is a Moog lead patch in MOTU's MX4 2.0. I always dug the synths in
the 70s. Yes, this isn't mainstream Ambient, it has more of an ambient blues
vibe, but luckily there isn't such a category, so I just opted for Ambient, since
that was more the emotion the track ended up floating into. [ Reply to This ]
takes me away &mdash 06/20/06 - 09:07:07 AM
remenicant of Yes passages on the album, close to the edge, that will
always get my attention... quite a visual journey you guys take us on
here, transitions seem smooth, and supprising, I'd be interested to
know how you did sync up the tempo change, that had to be a
challenge...
great work here... thanx for the free trip [ Reply to This ]
Great beginning &mdash 06/20/06 - 11:29:54 PM
I loved the beginning, soooo soothing.
Great work by all of you.
Hope to hear more from you all!
The guitar and organs sounded really nice.
Loved the plucking of the strings.
Organ somehow got on my nerves every now and then, but it was good. [ Reply to This ]
Total Trip &mdash 06/21/06 - 11:48:58 AM
Loved the trippy vibe all through this track, it is like listening to the
soundtrack to Woodstock. The keys were awesome and the production
and effects extremely intelligent. You've done this before right? ;)
The song was definately Ambient and I just love the Distorted Reverse
Hammond Style Organ - whatever it was!! Awesome. How did you do
the reverse - was this engineered or was it a preset software
instrument? I'd love to (but don't know how to) do this with guitar. [ Reply to This ]
Total Trip &mdash 07/11/06 - 06:44:21 AM
The reverse stuff was done by Mungo, so you should email him to find out. It
was all software induced: He took ziti's original track and filtered it a hundred
different ways. When I reverse stuff, I use Peak and reverse phrase by phrase, so
it can be quite time consuming to make it sound musical. Thanks for your
comments. [ Reply to This ]
Free jam &mdash 07/11/06 - 07:16:37 PM
kink of like a free jam, people responding to each other with no set
musical form in mind. I like the freedom, the openness. As others have
indicated, Mungo's reverse sounds really capture the ear when they occur.
I kind of wished it would modulate at some point(s), but as you point out
in an earlier response, the harmonic framework you worked with was
fixed before you got to this. Fun and most enjoyable. [ Reply to This ]
