Yeah, I feel like this piece almost implies strings, but I decided to keep them out specifically for this reason. I feel that this way, the guitar is more...

There is a couple of places where I play a G7 chord on the guitar, and G-F on the mallets, and although that F should blend in with the chord, somehow it stands out. But after listening to it for a hundred times I got used to it, hah. > Hope your well! -Harry Thanks, Harry! On 10/6/11, Arve Barsnes <arve.barsnes@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > It's beautiful.

But another reasons for this may be that the strings on my guitar are quite old, and I didn't bother changing them before doing this recording. > Oh yes I should mention, that > I honestly and from deep within my heart hate autumn. :-) You managed to > capture the feeling of that season very well.

I know you are a big proponent of Nama, and I intend to work with it in the near future. But for this piece one of my goals was to use bare ecasound, in order to become more familiar with all of its aspects. > Thanks for sharing and kind regards > Julien Julien, I really appreciate your input, thanks again! _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
