i have 2 new works that i would like to share with you guys... they are ideas/sketches for a film score i am doing to a short film called stand up (will be on SBS TV EAT CARPET in August for all you aussies) : 2:49 : probably the more developed of the 2... i know the beat is very simple and i do plan on chord changes..., i've only really spent about an hour on this, still rough around the edges. piano, violin & cello. : 2:19 : very simple skech, but i think its quite effective... piano & strings... very sparse, written in 20 minutes. hope you enjoy, these are only ideas, the final product for the film is going to be performed by a bunch of musicians, this is just me figuring out the pieces... comments would be lovely |

she makes do : makes me think of VW. Nice moody peice. alone in the cold : It took a couple of listens to this for me to fully appreciate it. It is a really nice peice that made my mind fill the other instrumentation in (if that makes sense). It is sort of an underpinning melody rather than a stand alone one, but it still works. You are producing some top notch stuff though :D |

thankyou for listening! i'm glad your feeling it too, i was hoping i wasnt the only one... :) VW = Volkswagon? |

Yeah the piano reminded me of the Pram remix of LFO/Aphex off Warp 10+3 for some reason, which is being used in the VW Golf commercial here. I really like the whole atmosphere of the track though. It's subdued and sad without being really negative. |

if(nobsmuggler->text == "bump this later") { nobsmuggler->points ++; } More people really should acknowledge this fine work though. :D |

she makes do: The cello has a really rich quality to it, really tangible bass, you can sort of feel it sitting in front of you. Maybe have the ambient noise thing a bit lower in the mix (at least in the intro)- it jars a bit much for "the mainstream". Nice to hear Xanpha type beats in it :) alone in the cold: Very simple as you say, but very good. My only criticism of it as it is is that it's a bit too repetative for TV soundtrack at the moment (unless there's a lot of action going on in slow-mo to this scene :), but with a bit of variation this'd be grand. Can't wait to hear the version with live musicians. Overall very good, an interesting new direction! |

Two really nice tracks here, my favourite of the two being 'she makes me do' , it has got great melodies and has a great emotional aspect coming across. The violins? work great along with the piano. I would have liked it to go on far maybe a minute of two longer but you would have to put some more changes in for that i guess. 'Alone in the cold' also very sombre, it seemed a little bit empty on first listen but it is actually all there if you wait for it. The melody was maybe little too quiet, but once i picked up on it it was great. May I also take this chance to say that I also enjoy listening to your 'Minus one' album. Keep up the good work teapot! |

She makes do: although you could have made a change in the middle (same chord / scale, just change the progression a bit.. try larger jumps up in the scale and so-on), it was a great track! I liked the way it sounded and felt, and I would like to hear a little bit more developed tune! I'm going to check out the other one, but in a few mins. I have to run out and do something for my boss right now... |

damn i feel awful .. thanks for the snippets j, im now going to sleep for half a day :) |
||||||||

|

ya! I read the first post properly now... In that case, I'll change it to: She makes do: A great start with a good, minimal melody, which I eagerly await the completion of. Alone in the cold: ditto, although it seems like you may be able to sow them together as one track.. but these are still just scetches, so... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
she makes do: nice, lovely depressing sad, but nice, kindda touched me spiritual alone in the cold: actually very simpel, 2 simpel comparing it with the other one, but you'd spend three times more time on that one so that's pretty obvious, but you actually know how to play the piano? and how is your record deal progressing? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
im alright at the piano, but i used to be a lot better when i studied in high school i was actually pretty awesome, but then got into making music on the pc, and never really touched keys again for about 5 years, when i picked up a midi keyboard and controller... so im trying to get back to where i was, slowly :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
how did you learn to play piano? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh and the deal thing is still as was... i just have the next 3 months to concentrate on writing and putting it together, then all systems are go :) |
||||||||

played as a kid fuckin around teaching myself to play pop songs and stuff, then at like 13 i started doing proper training in school... in high school my music teacher would tutor me and stuff... that ended when i was about 17... |
||||||||
|

|
|
it'll be in warpmart yes... they carry the Room40 label :) |

Ok. I was wondering, 'cause I'm self-taught (spelling?), and after teaching myself lots of songs, I've recently started doing scales and shit to get the pressure in my fingers right, and to make my hands move up and down the keys correctly... I was just wondering if you had any tips as to how they SHOULD move, if you had some real training... |

well im really stiff at the moment, as you can hear in the tracks, its all about being comfortable... once you know what your playing you can relax and movement becomes a lot easier, its all about practise... the more you play the better your movements will become... regarding you do constantly attempt to do stuff you cant quite do.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

Ya, I know, but there is some way which makes your playing more effective, in a sense.. you play so that your fingers are easier to place on the keys when progressing. The right hand, I've got.. that one goes (T = thumb, I = indexfinger, C = center, R = (the next one, which in norwegian is referred to as the ring-finger), P = the small one.. pinky???) T, I, C, R, P, R, C, I, C, R, P.. and so-on... the fingers glide. The thing is, the other hand is impossible.. I can only do P, R, C, I, T, I, T, I, T, I, and so-on... that can't be right... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh i see.. yeah, thats a tough one.... i can do that on my right, but cant on my left... ive always really struggled on my left |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh, i forgot to say which hands they were.. yes, that is the right first left second. |

I think I enjoyed the second one a bit more. Didn't care for the beats in she makes do - I would've rather heard it beat-free. Everything else sounded nice. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
i love the enoesque atmospherics, "alone in the cold" is very nice, maybe too melancholy for my tastes. i enjoyed these two. |

inexcusable bump! |
