Description

Variations on a Theme Part 3

In this final variation on the theme from Kimono Dragon, I ran the MIDI file through the software "paulstretch" (stretched x 3), and used the result as a backbone throughout; two "straight" renditions, played by an English horn and then a French horn, accompanied by three tracks of percussion loops (HipHop Beat, Club Dance Beat, and Electronic Drum Beat) and another original track by me. The first sound you hear is the stretched file, and the second is the highly effected guitar track by me.

The wonderful image was created for an Uruguyan Spaghetti Western film festival.

Enjoy! ;-)

If you're interested, Variations on a Theme Part 1 is Kimono Dragon, and Part 2 is Canon for Timpani which you can hear by clicking either link.

Thanks Stan
Actually this was done almost a year ago, but yes, tunes-r-us lately ;-) I think 5 in a month, and I'd like to think at least ONE of them is good.
I know my description sounds a little offhand but the piece is just the result of some experimental thoughts. You know, "what would it sound like if I ..." and I was trying for three different "sounds" in my three variations. Thanks for listening, and enjoying.

	Stretccccched File? your getting too technical for me Richard but the end product is haunting and those flutters of percussion and beats, break it up nicely and give a kind of 'ethereal' atmosphere..... very cinematic, regards M Check out my latest song called Shine Your Light

richard13	richard13 said 555 days ago (November 16th, 2011)
	Yeeeeesssssss! Just like it was rubber. You can hear it (almost like a deep vocal synth) at about 2:00. It was the point of this particular variation, or as I said above, the backbone on which I hung the flutters. Thanks Mo. Check out my latest song called Caledonia

	I wouldn't think Western, at first. Celebrational. Maybe, A line of Buddhist monks in the mountains of Tibet, chanting. Cool. Very cool. Thanks. Check out my latest song called The Sea

	Eat your heart out Ennio! (An expression meaning, I suppose, consume yourself with jealousy, Ennio. Just in case anyone thought I was a little cannibalistic -) Anyway, I'm sure you were just being kind. Besides, I forgot the whistling. Check out my latest song called Caledonia

	Very nice track..... Some timing things going on, that make my metronome brain go nuts.... But over all it a good project...... Check out my latest song called Call To Arms...

richard13	richard13 said 553 days ago (November 18th, 2011)
	I am so glad you enjoyed this Tony but you have to get over this strict timing hangup you seem to have. Let go; go with the flow; let it all hang out (wait, that's not right). Oh well, I'm happy you enjoyed it in spite of your metronome brain. Check out my latest song called Caledonia

	Music For a HipHop Spaghetti Western What? Ambient heaven, if there is such a place, this would be on the list. Eerie but cool. Check out my latest song called yucatec

richard13	richard13 said 553 days ago (November 18th, 2011)
	I'm not sure it would be the themesong of an Ambient Heaven, but I'm happy you think it would be on the list. Thanks Steve. Check out my latest song called Caledonia

	You know.... ....I've always been more of a pop song person in the traditional Beatles-oriented fashion, but I have to say, I'm really enjoying these sound textures - particularly for the morning. : ) Check out my latest song called 'Til The Freeway Ends V2

richard13	richard13 said 550 days ago (November 21st, 2011)
	Thanks for the visit Eric I don't think I have any Beatle-type pop songs but it's always good to expand your listening horizons (heaven knows I have since I joined ;-) I DO have a couple of "songs" here but I don't think they are either pop or Beatle-y. Glad you enjoyed my little experiment. Check out my latest song called Caledonia

	Very creative and out of the box Relating Hip-hop to say a Clint Eastwood western does stretch the mind a little. Very cool and laid back vibe you have going. The beat works really well and makes the slowly evolving bed take on a whole new character. Good one! Doug Check out my latest song called The Asteroid [Doom2012]
