The drums and percs do stand out as being very well rendered. Dynamics are well expressed in the riff starting at 1:05. The electric guitar sounds are very nice and adds a lively touch. The string pad washes are excellent. The com This said, in general starting at about 2:30 there's the feeling of a linearity that's installed. Even though this is a backing track for lead vocals, there's a feeling that things are going around in a linear fashion. Passages are repeated. The last chorus at approx. 5:08 has an effort in hammering a bit more the piano notes to break from the linearity, but there's notmuch of a build up in terms of energy which pretty much stays the same thorough. I am also facing the same issues and I listen in amazement at how linear some past pieces were. So I try to make it a point to vary in sheer intensity. Maybe just a little, maybe a lot, maybe in between, but to vary. To consider that a silence is as rich in every aspect as a full band playing. By pure coincidence I read something by Friedemann Findeisen a couple of days ago in which he was saying that only changing notes does not do it. Going from one chord to another with the hope that it will be a "dramatic" experience on the listener's part does not work most of the time. He continues saying that what's needed is a change in energy. Of course Findeisen is preoccupied by pop music so it has to be taken with a grain of salt. Everyone remembers poignant chord changes. But do they happen always ? And when they are not, what happens instead ? So again, the piece is very nice and sweet, very well produced. One would hope to hear vocals. The addition of vocals could have a modifying feedback on the music to make it rendered more at the energetic morphing level. Cheers. _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
