Hi Julien,
Thanks for this. Bravo!
Has a very nice 'live'/prog/rock/synth feeling with excellent musicality
and shows off well in my humble opinion your classical music background.
If I may point out a weakness, which is not really related to this piece
per se, it is the 'guitar' parts. Maybe as a guitarist I'm particularly
sensitive to the difficulty of 'rendering' guitars through midi. This
also stems from personal experience about this difficulty.
Thanks again,
Lorenzo.

Hello everyone!
The subject is not a command to give me hell, although you're
welcome to do so, if it is your wish. :-) Yet it's the title of my new
song. A bit more fusion this time, I suspect, more dynamic changes and
some nice arrangements. I can say that, since I'm not really
responsible. It happened. Sometimes you're in luck, stricken by the
right idea at the right moment. :-)

the whole idea evolved from a small theme in a whole tone scale,
that I had earlier in the year. Then I forgot it, almost reinvented it
early this week and the rest fell in place around it. You might call
it a rhapsody in prog.
this time it's really a wobby art piece of music, since I wanted to
finish it tonight. I started yesterday evening. So please excuse a few
mistakes, which I would have corrected, if I had time. :-)
Instruments used were Linuxsampler for drums, piano, Rhodes,
Wurlitzer and
Gigatron (thanks Q!). Beatrix as hammond organ, fluidsynth for the
bass, the Clavinet for the Clav :-) and the Nordlead for the analogue
leads. I think that's it.
I recorded, mixed and mastered everything in Nama. Loads of ladspa
plugins were involved in that process and here's a thanks to all those
LADSPA authors. I think they can all take it, since most of them have
earned it with this piece. :-)
\Also thanks to the list for loads of very good hints, that I've
taken up. this time I'm very fond of the snare and the Clav. finally
found some good settings, that I'll certainly save as presets. the
bass drum needs more work, I know, but I can't figure out, what to do
with it. Perhaps another one or two day session may be required to get
it, where I want it. :-)
Please give me your feedback, as long as it's nice or constructive
or even better both, I'm happy to hear it. :-)
Absolutely un-meanly yours
Julien
