I agree with all comments so far. It's certainly not the best. I got into that one as a mixing exercise. It took a long time to finish. It started out as jam196 and was at the mixing stage for a long time. Things were removed, things were added. The guitar at the end part was added recently. As a musical creation it does not have the inviting groove, the warm tones, or even the strangeness; it does not have what it takes to make an artistic statement of some sort, to bridge to the listener. It rides on the surface. I do like the way it ends, though. I also like the grittiness of some theme synths before the solo. However as a mixing project it's something else. Lots of technical details, it was a good experience to learn some more. jam12 has become mystifying for me. As if somebody else made it. How can I take the time today to have so much space in the groove, so much leeway between the notes while still retaining the essence ? Everything seems so much more compressed. OTOH I do have a lot of sketches that can be developed and some of them do have a bit of the same feeling of space. Hopefully I will not do too many of those pieces in which there's so much work and not enough play :) Thanks again for the comments, Cheers. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
