You really underlined a lack of emotions with the mechanical feel of this mix. And when the strings come in, the color comes out for a brief moment. Theatrical! Nice work!

Somehow it seemed to me Kara was singing of the woke Zeitgeist, a hint of despair over an abiding faith in humanity. I’d hoped to lift that out of our current microcosm of rapid-fire crises and months of isolation.

You did just that. By lack of emotions I meant to convey the numbness felt by the rapid fire crises we’re living through…overwhelming and hard to assimilate. The contrast of faith and despair is captured in your mix for sure.

Thanks for that. And, having just reviewed so many of Kara’s titles, I read “The contrast of faith and despair” and immediately thought of improbable duets such as “ The Rumble of Ukulele and Trombone” and “ The Scuffle of Mouth Sounds and the Magnificent Uke”…

Aren’t we so lucky to have Kara’s talents here with us!

Funny how a mix sometimes takes its own direction. Thank heavens for MIDI. :)

Ah, MIDI, a blessing for machine-music practitioners in search of equal temperament. This started out as a dogleg on a more extended journey I quickly realized could not be completed in two weeks; if I ever finish it, that one will feature fireflies.

Love how you resisted using any drums.
Adds to the impact of the pella! |

Thanks, Scomber. Yeah, I reserved all percussion for dramatic effect. Maybe ‘cause my brothers were drummers?

feels very modern and avant garde and a perfect addition to a sci-fi soundtrack. the tempo changes are brilliant…

Thanks, Panu, glad the tempos worked for you. I challenged myself (and Reaper challenged me right back) trying to tweak them…

An excellent take on Numbers, somehow more… intimate?… raw?… thought provoking? than the original.

Kara is *always* singing of something bigger than what she’s singing about, I just got lost chasing it with my eyes closed…

Somehow I recognize this vocal track for the firs time with this intensivity. Your track seems to have kind of an unlocking power.
I like it very much. |

Thanks, that means a lot. All the source for this originated in Kara’s post, where I found everything I needed.

Your stark re-imagined arrangement pushes the intensity… as does the tempo change. Excellent mix all around. Thank you, Mr_Yesterday.

Maybe I’ve said this before…good sources make good remixes? Thank *you*, Kara.

A moving and powerful arrangement. Creative. Thank you for sharing.

Thanks, Susan, glad you liked it. It may not be entirely finished, may spawn some future work, we’ll see.

i’m jealous of your MIDI manipulation skills (would love a lesson). your fugue-style production makes Kara’s vox shine — like a firefly in the dark. the pizzicato section is really powerful, impressive and just a huge wow!!
