Description

About a year ago I found an album published in the Fifties of Celia Johnson reading from Virginia Woolf's Mrs. Dalloway and To the Lighthouse.
From the second I dropped the needle I knew I had to do something.
Still not completely finished. I still have to tweak a few of the drum sounds, probably add a couple layers of guitar for atmoshphere, things like that.
Anyway, here it is.

	waxtrax ya man. that's real static. I had a floyd record one time that i finally broke down and bought on cd, and there was this little part of a song that i'd always thought was the coolest part, and it turned out to just be a crackly static thing in the vinyl. I was devistated, to say the least. Check out my latest song called Moment

	This is great The crackly hissing, the plummy voice, the sounds - all the parts add up to a fascinating whole. There is real hypnotic power in this. I love the treatments you have done to the voice. Great editing too - I love the dropout at "the most exquisite moment of her whole life". This is very nicely done. Peace. Check out my latest song called Across the Wire (MJRF)

fascinating and hypnotic, eh?
Many, many thanks for your kindness...again.
All the credit is not mine though. it's that plummy voice that does it for me man.
like I said in the description, as soon as the needle crossed the initial scratchey lead in and hit the first line (which is actually the first line here too) I had chills.
Also, I suppose (although I'm sure it goes without saying) the beautifully crafted words of Virginia Woolf gave me a much better setting to work with than anything I could conjure up, you know what I mean?
But as a Whole, I'm glad you dug it.
Thanks again.

	Pretty sweet! You put this together very well. My theory is if it sounds good, play the hell out of it ;-P And that be my take on music theory! This is really clean and crisp as well. Solid production all around! Thanks for sharing your gift. Alvin Check out my latest song called Dark Circus

	theory I have pretty much the same outlook. I don't have perfect pitch; hell, I don't even know what key i'm in half the time, but I beat some sweet tunes out of my equipment. Glad you liked it man. Thanks for taking the time. --- signature remark Check out my latest song called Moment

	sounds like rain falling through the whole thing. VW's class surgery as downtempo anthem. An unexpected morphing of original intent, and with a great, great vibe.
