Description:
I'm just one of several contributors to this fun song. The ownership and original idea belong to Jeff (j0j0) at icomp. He began things by playing a great little guitar track which he then sent to me saying "how about putting some piano on this?" Being my first collab, I was wondering if I'd really be able to come up with anything or not!

I worked on it a bit, and sent him back my piano accompaniment to his guitar track, along with a little celtic tin whistle track which was later changed to flute. From there Jeff shepharded the song along, sending it to ciheins for strings; soulsurvivor for percussion; mbehar for bass (all on icomp), and finally to our own mystified for the gorgeous vocals.

He then worked to get the mix just right and posted it on icomp a few days ago. Since he doesn't have an account here, he asked me to post it so MJ'ers can enjoy it too. This was a really fun project, and a great experience seeing how the music developed with the ideas of each new contributor. Thanks Jeff, for all the fun!

What fun! &mdash 05/16/08 - 05:10:00 PM
I was waiting to see this show up... thank you for posting it here. Given the history and number of collaborators, I was bracing for serious KSA (Kitchen Sink Affliction), but things are quite clear and distinct, the music flows along nicely with great guitar/bass work, Mysti's great vocals, and your delightfully bouncy piano. The drums, although slightly "muffled" sounding, were also a great addition. And I'm a sucker for cross-community collabs. Excellent work, all! I get a headache just thinking how much work was involved in tracking all the files from different people and then mixing it so cleanly!

ttfn,
Drakonis

cool! I mashed up one of j0j0's tracks once. that was one of the first songs I ever did actually. It's too embarrassing to upload, but SMALL WORLD anyway.

great sound collage here, all the instruments (vocals included) blend so bloody well! solid mix!

Collabs take an awful lot of work, to me - and even when there's just one other perso. This must of taken a heap of time, as it sounds to be a very successful project! I hope your happy with it because it's making a lot of us quite satiated! Love your piano in this! Great job! Macca

Oh! Wow! &mdash 05/22/08 - 12:03:17 PM
The piano sounds amazing!!! Your playing is so technical and beautiful at the same time. Wow. I am quite impressed with ALL of the performances on this piece.

One hell of a "first" collab Karen!

BTW, your babies are too cute.


Thanks for sharing this.

this was a super-fun collaboration- surprisingly easy- everyone was quick, spontaneous professional and, of course, awesome. I was totally honored by the participation of all of the other 5, artists whose work I truly admire- I recommend checking out their other stuff, my ipod is full of it. Thx Karen.

Summertime is here &mdash 05/28/08 - 03:37:15 PM
It seems everyone is writing summery tracks, no matter the actual subject. This is a nice and friendly track. Eh, great background, maybe a bit more foreground?

The best ..... &mdash 06/01/08 - 03:14:57 PM
music in my opinion usually comes from humble composers that are open to collaborate with others. In my experience something magical occurs when egos are left at the door. The internet is a wonderful tool to find said composers and I hear the magic in this. Simply beautiful.
