your track hasn't quite finished processing yet, but tell
me, did you use a Katzenklavier?

niiiice... really sweet track. Not so sure about some of
the effects though to be honest. Liking it anyway :)

that phaser on the bells from the beginning.
Perhaps it actually gives it some spice, perhaps you could
just lessen it.
im not too sure really...

mmm theres no phaser... theres an lfo on the volume of the
hi band of the melody, syncronized with the tempo (2/4) ,
what makes the it goes like circles... do you mean that?

well, in fact thats just a synth melody with lots of effects
(and a kick), maybe its the final result of all of them and
provably a total madness to arrange if its not nice
sounding...

try without the lfo. also you could repeat the stuff at 0.19
to 0.25 once before going for the melody that comes after.
was the keyboard part improvised?

this are all just suggestions of course. if for any reason
you like the track just as it is then its better to leave
like that. cheers.

its very nice sounding.... sweet as a kitten if i may say.

But yeah, it's that lfo i was talking about. :)

yes, the keyboard was improvised by my friend
and
yes, ill try without the lfo,
thanks for advice you two!

the tune was just a first trial on something, btw, a tune
for a concert we are doing, he just played the melody this
morning and i added the fx after that.

depending on the degree of autonomy you are willing to
substract from your friend, you could record what he plays
in audio AND midi so you can edit his playing later on, if
only as means to structure his improv as you see fit after
adding other stuff. I do like the track as it is so far. and
is good to be of help, so you are welcome.

yes, kei, i recorded on midi in another instrument and
constructed a different synth for the track-cant be bothered
to arrange or change the notes he played (as its just a test
and made for a live session, not a track), and i liked it
that way, totally imperfect and with no much sense, just
like if its my cat who played it (look picture! ;)

here is the video, a very special one.
let's see if you can find out what it really is!

video also available on horizontal (original) position... can't
decide which i preffer... any opinion/prefference???

nice try for a video. But it doesn't really represent, and
its very constant.
This would suit nicely for a fast paced repetitive beat

i think it really fits the music, i love it, specially the
second version better i think... the domestic touch, and
full of colors :)

do you know what the video is?
