Over on Soundcloud Mark Bennett has posted an acapella recording of a traditional Irish ballad, as an open collaboration project. I found this song totally captivating so decided to try my hand. This is what I achieved. I hope you like it. http://www.musically.me.uk/music/The_Parting_Glass.ogg Mark hasn't set any time limit so I'm sure he'd welcome more entries. For those interested in such things... I loaded Mark's audio into Rosegarden then played along on a MIDI keyboard. The nature of the song meant that cheating with copy/paste wasn't an option (which is actually a good thing) so I played through multiple times until I had a feeling for the whole piece, then built up track by track. In order of appearance: Mark (of course) Rushes Wide Bass + Ghost Ensemble Moor Drums Post Horn Ghost Ensemble in particular has a very slow attack, and Rosegarden's 'jog' command came in very handy. -- Will J Godfrey http://www.musically.me.uk Say you have a poem and I have a tune. Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
