Description:
I started out working up something for LIOLI, and then gott so far away from it I gave up. I ended up experimenting with the e-bow and Mystifieds vocals from Kyrie (an accapella she did here: http://www.macjams.com/song/33286). they were just so close to the chord progression, it had to be done (and they are certainl nicer than the LIOLI loop i started with). listed it under experimental as it was an experiment.

THink Sigur Ros on this one:a droney wash. If you hate that sort of thing, best look elsewhere.

Hardware:
intel mini mac, fender tele, line6 pocket pod, iMic, m-audio midi keyboard,e-bow, metal slide

Software:

Mysti Mountain Chop &mdash 09/11/07 - 08:23:20 PM
Very good - very good indeed - the pun and the song. Along with Sigur Ros I always hear early Floyd (Atom Heart Mother - Valley Obscured By Clouds)) where piano is applied to this sort of thing. Great collab - and I really don't miss the pirate in this one. You're on a nice roll these days Michael - very enjoyable.

when faced with the choice of some scuzzy pirate or Mysti, the decision making process is pretty easy. glad you liked this one, you know I love Floyd. Funnily enough, the other day someone left a comment about my stuff being depressing, but i find it cathartic (for me at least). I'm generally a pretty happy guy these days. THanks for stopping by.

thanks so much, truth be told, Mysti's voice would make anything sound good. it was nice of her to let me plop it down in the middle of my song. thanks for listening, always appreciate your support.

Lovely tune &mdash 09/12/07 - 01:39:08 AM
I would not say this was depressing (an earlier comment), I would say your tracks esp this one is thoughtful and comtemplative. I like this track for those reasons and yes I agree with the other comments that this does have Floyd influences (I like Floyd as well). Very nice to sit back and listen to this one. Well done and good choice of vocals.

dissonance consonance &mdash 09/12/07 - 05:53:49 AM
I have to deal with a lot of dissonance when I edit my daughter's stuff and I found myself using it. Then I read that dissonance followed by consonance gives direction and punctuation to a piece. So I am hearing a weave of dissonance and consonance that is interesting to me; in your piece. Not depressing at all... tasty I would say. Also I would think some evocation of new sound in combinations. Anyway that would please me as a composer.

Who &mdash 09/12/07 - 06:18:28 AM
would hate this sort of sound? Experimenting never sounded so good! Especially with the talent involved here. Thanks so much for sharing.

Far out! &mdash 09/12/07 - 09:09:20 PM
Beautifully clean sounds in early Floyd mode - certainly not depressing. More hopeful and uplifting to me.
Lovely composition and performance. The production is exceptional.

tranquil intensity &mdash 09/12/07 - 10:21:00 PM
now when you create one of these in this style... I keep thinking this guy has found a comforting internal mental peace. Or are you sweating bullets to make it to the end?

Your shoes never sounded better

Good Guitar &mdash 09/16/07 - 07:51:18 PM
I like the guitar in the background. Good tones, and putting it in the back really added to the mystical nature of the song.

This is trance like, and there's nothing wrong with being in a trance, unless you work on heavy machinery.

Good job.

dreamy &mdash 09/17/07 - 09:45:57 AM
really good soundscape;
you have all the tiny spaces filled with an interesting wave of sound. it seemed nothing was left undone, yet everything left ot the imagination. i would have loved to have heard the original aiff of this, as it is probably ten times the experience than the compressed mp3. bravo!

Another &mdash 09/18/07 - 07:08:22 PM
winner, Michael!

Great, man, I really loved this one.
Lovely piano all along the track.Mistyfield has a great voice.
This one really gave me an idea.Have you ever thought about re-recording "So far", with this approach?
"So far" is one of my favorite songs of yours and with this shoezage feel, it would make a superb version.

If you liked the idea, I would like to be part of it.Get in touch...

Wow man! &mdash 09/18/07 - 10:16:14 PM
You're a force to be reckoned with my friend. Now I don't feel so bad about ditching the LIOLI my own self! I only wish mine would have turned out like this. Maybe next time? Tasteful and tight would be putting it mildly. This really grabbed a hold of me from stem to stern, unlike a "pirate" song would have ;-P Kudos brother, very nicely done indeed.

Great! &mdash 09/19/07 - 06:59:44 PM
Cool spacey groove takes me on some kind of messed up boat ride (in a good way). The vocals' dissonance, whether intentional or unintentional, create a fresh atmosphere that works nice. Very enjoyable.

Lovely mix of &mdash 10/25/07 - 06:43:49 PM
electronic and new age and prog rock with a clean new and wonderful result. There's a sound on beat 2 that reminds me of breathing through a diving regulator, that adds a constancy to the weave of tones and textures. Thanks folks, it's a keeper!

Keep well,
Doug
