modern wheretofore
I have met the man behind this modern tentative piece, and I can say "don't let the addictively mind-stretching craziness scare you... this is real!"

It's about time we heard something new from the MaccaMan! Sparkly! Unexpected! And I detect a little smirky smile of fun behind all this.

ttfn,

And not only am I NOT a snob....
...but I actually LIKE the guitar sounds in this, and part of the reason why is that because you're working apart from the physical instrument, you use guitar-like sounds in ways that are different from what a guitar player would tend to do... That brings those sounds into different contexts....

I really like the intro horns, and I really like the rich sonorities you're working with here.... Your mixes and arrangements can sound unusual at times, but you never, ever sound tacky.... Always great tone and great depth and width....

And although much goes on, it doesn't end up being busy.... Things have room and time to resonate.... I think you really trimmed and tweaked things into a neat place on this, so it feels like one long and reflective idea and not a bunch of ideas battling for dominance....

I really like it...

Also, I have stolen your photo for my own nefarious purposes....

Dion
Long time no hear from. Nice to see you back (at least back posting songs here).

I'm enjoying the space you have given each instrument. Its something to layer out so many instruments and to space them to give each its own identity. Great changes and grouping of each sound.

An orchestra full
of alien creatures with organic instruments that sparkle, each on its own and still blend together when they must. Music for exotic alien plants to grow by. you have the seeds and the fertile imagination. A trip with you is worth a thousand steps. :)

I have to
say that it took me a few listend to come round to this,but that is only cause it is a tune you cannot whistle ! But,that said,it is a grower and I am now having a blast anticipating the next twist and turn and each different musical nuance.Ain't music funny how it can grow on you ? The drums particularly are excellent and if this was done with the 'pencil tool'(I presume ,like cubase you 'draw' on one of the edit facilities to create directly)then you have a range that goes from charcoal to 5 H in terms of pencil lead variety !!

Cheers ,Jarvo.

I'm Baaaaaaaack!
You sure know your way around that pencil Dion. Love the deep, deep end you get and the way you throw notes about - they scatter, then form, then scatter to reform as something else. All very avante-gard my friend. Very interesting post - and welcome back of course.
Cheers from Oz,
Neil
