Short Jazz track I've just finished (less of it is sample
based than you'd think!) . Comments welcome. The Jazz, Man.
Comments Welcome. Cheers.

really digging the vibraphone, or rhodes, some of these
wicked sax bits are awesome, but i think they might sound a
bit better with some vibrato on them. the drum line is
great, very nice sound to it, like real brushes.

sounds a bit dry overall, maybe some reverb over the whole
thing would straighten it out.

altogether very interesting and original, great job.

Thanks, I'm really happy with the drums, all drum machined,
just with some careful programming :)

Re: Reverb, thanks I'll bear that in mind, I did play around
at the mastering stage with a bit of stage style reverb and
record crackle (to make it sound like it's an old recording
from a club) but it sounded a bit gimmicky. If I revise it,
I'll probably put some subtle reverb on the master channel.

Ta for the comments :)

That was cool, like Joe Zawinul jamming over Radar Love by
Golden Earring -

bomp bomp bomp bomp dabomp bomp dabomba,
dabomp bomp bomp bomp dabomp bomp dabomba,
etc

hmmm you could do sick things with that idea. :D

Gwely: Cheers, I'll probably be re-working this into a
longer piece and I'll take that on board.

x-tomatic: Thanks mate, yep I was aiming for a "real" jazz
band feel, it would actually be possible to play it just
with 4 guys.

Aminal: The brass is a saxophone, the "trilling" bits (like
the one that repeats 3 times .29-.36) are sample, but the
rest is done from single note samples. The player is a guy
called Patrick Cress. I got the samples off a CD that came
with a Reason book I got.

wow you're a moderator...this track is absolutely brilliant.
reminds me of the work of nash bridges and jessica tandy.
The mathmatical constructs of the musical elements are not
only scientifically perfect but even show a grasp of
metaphysics. Truely amazing. 14/10

Downloading now.

actually it was really enjoyable. I think the drums sound a
little rigid though...they let the track down.

great! were I would like it a bit longer, though. just some
crazy improvisation which builds and builds until the track
suddenly drops to a smooth chill-ish thing to finish it
off...

I like the lack of reverb... makes it sound more like an old
jazz recording... in fact, I'd say make the rhodes sound
drier even, it sounds a bit out of place. Actually the drums
too... the sax is dry, the rest is about the same...
weeee... good stuff, fun. Definitly got the old recording
feel on the sax, sounds like he's playing in the 1940s while
the rhodes and drums decided to wait 60 years before coming
in

So short... cool ideas, love the rhodes/sax lines
together... you going to elaborate on this or happy as a
little idea? Would be cool as an interlude type deal.

Points: 5678 Status: Lurker



to me the drums sound very programmed, they should be
loosened up.

i very much like the rhodes, less crazy about the sax.

i'd like to hear where this leads...

The cymbals sound really clumsy and intrusive. Very
un-jazzy, to be honest. Drums kind of sound that way, too.
Clean samples, though.

The rhodes was nice.

The drums do sound a little "loopy" and non-jazz, plus the
0.29 to 0.36 bit needs revising... it could do with a little
loosening, but altogether pretty cool. I like the sax parts
and the smooth rhodes chords. Nice atmosphere too, sounds
kinda dry and dusty. Have you heard clifford gilberto on
ninja tune? Also, on a tenuously-related tangent, check out
the world saxophone quartet (did the sax on bjork's "the
anchor song").

sorry for being a bitch and overlooking this track. i was
thinking to myself the other day "when is ceri gonna buy
more purple pants?" then that thought was followed up by "if
i had eggs and bacon and toast it really wouldnt be that
great" then while i was in the shower i was thinking "hey
does ceri still make music? i havent heard anything since
silo" hmmm

well fuck my girls vag and call me cunt! Here the thread
lays!

mE-ow!

I do have new purple pants. This time, they have taken on
the form of music rather than clothing and they were
commisioned by Mr. Thaddius Smoyer. To DL find it on the
same site. If you've not heard anything since Silo, you've
got some catching up to do boy. "Solitaire" and "ppl pants"
can be found using the link to the jazz track.

Other tracks such as "Siberia (Altai Mix)" (My best since
Silo IMO), "Cave Rave" and my remix of Marlowe's track,
"antartica" can all be found here.
