Description
Ok! For those who have heard Drummer Boy...this is the exact opposite of that. In fact...it's the anti-Drummer Boy, hehe. You'll notice that I like to hop around from genre to genre, and some of you might be all for it, while others might not be. And that's cool. I'm an aspiring classical soprano and I'm not really accustomed to mixing songs, so some of the same constructive critisisms may come to mind while listening to Temperance. And you'll probably have new ones, lol. I actually just figured out GarageBand on my computer a couple weeks ago and had some time on my hands, so I decided to play around on it with some of the standard loops while also coming up with my own and recording the vocals via isight mic (hehe, sorry bout that). I could use better equipment and more experience too, but suggestions are always appreciated in the meantime! I called it Temperance due to the lyrics, which could kind of portray our sometimes barely restrained emotions when it comes to someone we're secretly thinking about ;) For me, passion is most effectively portrayed in music through opera, and it is is a dream of mine to expose more people to this particular art, sometimes through unconventional means of doing so.

Lyrics
Bella innamorata tesor mio
(My beautiful enchanted jewel)

Le labbra tue, gli occhi toui severi...
(Your lips, your dangerous eyes)...

Fammi provar l'ebbrezza dell'amor
(Let me feel the intoxication of love)

bend the genres to your will...
oh, sweet! Very nice mixing of heavy club-sounding music bed with operatic singing... you'll need to 'Emily Rohm" here, and "Mystified", and "Paxeden", and... (definitely in good company) I really liked the feel of this, and could even imagine a nice chorus section added to break it and make it much longer.

I recognized a couple of loops, including the well-worn fiddle, but you chopped it and used it sparingly enough that it was actually tasteful here. This means you have a very good ear for putting together music, and I look forward to more of this experimental "unorthodox" introduction to operatic singing, brava! Definitely my style... reminds me a bit of the first Enigma album in passionate genre-mixing.

ttfn,
Drakonis

need to insert "LISTEN TO"... duh
oops, I mis-typed... I meant to say "you'll need to LISTEN TO Emily Rohm, Mystified, etc... hard to listen and type and chew gum at the same time... actually dragons don't ever chew gum.
ttfn,
Drakonis

Wow. Lovely.
Powerful, simple three lines. Yours?

I like your style. I am no expert, but I'd suggest bringing your voice up in the balance, if only for certain sections. Experiment with that. I'm sure you'll find your way in Garage Band quickly, judging by this. There's no way I could have created something like this my first few weeks.

Take care,
Estella

Mmmmm!
I love the way you use loops in a restrained manner.
The riff is excellent and so catchy!I agree with drakonis, a club version version is worth considering,
Great stuff.

Innamorato
that is my last name.. translate so I can understand. It is sung so nice. I would think less effect and lower the overall mix and make your voice slightly higher. Over all its sounds real good. Thanks for sharing and welcome to MJ's

Excellent!
This really tickles the brain. It flows strangely well, and is rich. I'm in the same boat with Bampot n Drakonis, this would be a sensational club track. I would LOVE to remix this! This is a very unique track that really deserves the response that it's getting.

This has nice cool sounds.
Love those choral sounds with the beat. Plus all the other cool sounds!

Really has a "in the groove cool rock disco" feel.

Like how infectious the beat is!

way to go

Crikey!
If this is what you come up with after a couple of weeks and a bit of time on your hands i don't know what you'll do when you get a bit more practice.

This is great - very professional, already.

Like others have said - I would bring the vox up in the mix. Why hide such a great sound?

p.s glad someone else is using the iSight Mic - good isn't it?

Nice
tasteful mix here and an excellent finish especially so new to GB. I love the combination of electronic and your lovely voice. I too mix genres and they do say that 'Variety is the spice of life", so I'll probably keep doing it, regards M

I like it
I like it.

But I have to agree with pretty much everybody else here -- you definitely need to bring the voice up a few decibels in the mix.

Wow
Wow this is creative, lots of interesting stuff happening here. I hear a blend from like very old folk music to modern musical and club. But not ANY blend, but one made with a highly creative artistery. This is one I want to hear again and again! Look forward to more jewels of yours!

Loops and more loops...
...There'sa trap there, but it can be avoided. To my view, bringing your own voice up A LOT and then playing with something a little more melodic there would make this number "sing." The driving club sound is engaging right from the start (and, yes, it IS the anti Drummer Boy)...You can begin a slow fade as your voice enters and then let the voice dominate. I agree with others that you are already doing some amazing things with GB and that you have a most-creative imagination. This is a good place to stretch your wings in that regard and (I believe others will agree) we're happy to have you here.
PEace.
