Description:
My first Collab. Thanks to Roxylee for the great vocal.
Thanks to smokeyvw for suggesting the lyric
Lyrics:
Colours - by Yevgeny Yevtushenko
When your face appeared
over my crumpled life
at first I understood
only the poverty of what I have.
Then its particular light
on woods, on rivers, on the sea,
became my beginning in the coloured world
in which I had not yet had my beginning.
I am so frightened, I am so frightened,
of the unexpected sunrise finishing,
of revelations and tears
and the excitement finishing.
I don't fight it, my love is this fear,
I nourish it who can nourish nothing,
love's slipshod watchman.
Fear hems me in.
I am conscious that these minutes are short
and that the colours in my eyes will vanish
when your face sets.

How intriguing to take the same vox that sounded so spooky on Ember, and turn them all sultry and sexy by doing some very artistic chopping, arranging and orchestration. Kudos! Now to get Roxylee's mic fixed so it isn't so muffled!

I don't think anything was wrong with Roxylee mic, I had some problems with the levels on the track. Maybe if I spend some more time working at this I maybe able to clean it up a bit.
Glad you liked it.
Thanks

You made me sound better than me. Very powerful, what you did with this vox track. You are a mixing genius! Digital emotion. Way cool... [ Reply to This ]
I am glad you like the track &mdash 12/11/06 - 05:26:02 PM
It was great to work with your vocal.
Thanks for letting me use the vocal.
I liked the vocal so much I have started to add the vocal to another track I have not been happy with.
So far it is elevating my track to a whole new level. I will let you know when it is finished.
Thanks again so much for offering your vocal.

have you ever heard of The String Cheese Incedent? There is a song of Ah, crap I can't remember, and your song reminds me of this. That's a good compliment, if you ever heard of String Cheese, great band.-MJG [ Reply to This ]

String cheese &mdash 12/12/06 - 08:20:35 PM
I believe it is a Bela Fleck song. Gary, thank you for asking to use the vocal track. Collabs are great, and it's great what you did with this. It inspires me to look for more poems to read, or maybe I'll write one. I'm looking forward to hearing what you do with this next. :-)

Nice soundfield &mdash 12/13/06 - 07:55:58 PM
Electronica more than Mainstream, though. Great aural textures... vocals, too. Is anyone cataloging all the "Ember" renditions? [ Reply to This ]
Thanks &mdash 12/14/06 - 07:13:10 PM
Respect as always.
Thanks for the comment.

yes! &mdash 12/15/06 - 08:42:45 PM
this is great. i really like what you did towards the end of this. it makes you think about alternate meanings of the same exact words. much like what i felt the original poem does. very cool. [ Reply to This ]
With out you it would not have happened &mdash 12/20/06 - 11:38:30 AM
Thanks for finding the two tracks. Glad you liked what was done putting them together.
