Somehow the strict repetitions of the loop make an interesting contrast with the freedom of the rest of it!
(though maybe it needs a rest somewhere?).
The guitar works fabulously with the voice.

Thanks! There will be another version of this, but I figured letting folks offer their thoughts wasn’t a bad idea ;-)

LOL Thanks! Some cymbal wouldn’t be a bad idea, the newer version will probably have them somewhere-

It’s working for me Duckett. Cymbals would be nice.

Thanks! Sometimes I like to get feedback on the general idea, before getting into the polishing side ;-)

Duckett
thank you for the time and energy spent on this. It captures the mood of the message. I look forward to any permutations it may morph into.

I will give you any cymbals or crash or splash drums, whatever…., if you play next guitar for me.
Is it you on the guitar or is it a loop. Even if it is a loop, it is used very nicely.

Thanks! No loop, that’s me playing live, but not on an actual guitar… I’d be more than happy to upload the “guitar” part alone, if you were seriously interested in remixing it with more rhythmic pizzazz; I’d love to hear what you could do with it!

First thing: Your new avatar is soooo cool! Please don_t change it!

For the guitar, I would love to build something around it without being able to promise when I will do it. But I will do it!
Respect for the nice guitar phrases/playing!

Hey Duckett, this is great. wonderful choice of chords. I’m tearing my hair out trying to think what this reminds me of, i dont even think its a musical memory, maybe a film scene? have anything in mind when you did it? Very nice. Like the new Uma Thurman dancing chick as well!!

Ahem, that would be a dancing duck ;-)
Thanks! …Hmmm, there’s a few tunes with that sort of descending thing happening that could’ve influenced me subconsciously, but in all honesty, I was just going with what the pella seemed to want. Glad you like it, though!

Great guitar/synth whatever that works so well with the vocals.

Only beef is I would have liked to hear the vocals a little more forward in the mix.

That ducks great! Best avatar I’ve seen for a long time!!

Thanks! I blame cdk for the idea for the avatar, the animation temptation was just too strong ;-)
I’m working on version 2 of this, and the vox will be brought up a bit. Glad you like it!

on the duck, I’ll get around to listening soon, and love that little drawing too… is there no end to the talent on this site :-)

Thanks! I must admit to being a bit puzzled by “on the duck”(?), but I’ll assume it means something nice :-)

I gave you four thumbs up for your avatar, does that help? :-)

permalink   duckett Thu, Mar 27, 2008 @ 4:48 AM
Well, sure- I just hope you aren’t too disappointed by the music ;-)

permalink   essesq Thu, Mar 27, 2008 @ 8:17 PM
Oh you mean there’s music on this site? :-)

I like the idea a lot and the melodic element of the guitar, but the levels could come down just a little because it’s distorting a little too much for me. Could just be delicate sensibilities. A really strong start for a pretty tough pella imho, but well worth it as it deserves to be heard.
