Is "war drum" a generic term here? (excuse my ignorance!)
You're dangerous, man. Is this bi-chordal or just a twitch of microtuning? (my sense of pitch is shot lately)
It's nice to hear a bit of attention to spatial effects. I like the panoramic opening-out of those reverb tails
Those filter-swept sawtooth(s) remind me of something close to my heart :)
...a deep sense of having gone on a journey.
Maui offered much to choose from. You could have gone easy, but you picked the crème.
:) Gotta be one of the funkiest things I've heard since 1970's jazz-rock fusion. eeh-ha
Intro hits me as kin to Glass/Reich minimalism. Then canonic feel, with parts yanked (then given back) seamlessly from (to) verse *and* chorus. Dance. Dance. Dance. Time is six (two 3's, eh?). Good grief, Heap!
Stunning. Love those changes.
@zytaris: Thanks a lot, man. Jeremy and Carol took that band to euphoric heights. I miss those days.
@sirlig: Glad you found that, @sirlig. It's been performed twice live. Dorothy Martirano (vln) and I (computer) premièred it, then a year later Katherine Hughes and I did it again. That was the full 12-minute version (gulp)
@SCHMUCKFENSTER: "non-banned" - - Yes, we felt no censorship pressures when performing this :)
@Titania: Maybe I should leave it unfinished!
@Soy Devon: Carol is a phenomenal listener - big ears and a fantastic voice.
@SCHMUCKFENSTER: What or who is "s.o." ? As for metropole: We were knocking out this tune in Jack's studio at a sparsely populated edge of Boulder Colorado :)
@Soy Devon: Soy and Fenster - I appreciate your close listening!
@Hey Exit: I like that space in the opening gesture. Draws me in.
@SCHMUCKFENSTER: You could say that . . . . . . . . . . . . . :-)
@drumpa: ya think?
uh huh. bzzp, indeed
@The Observer: Thanks, man. Sometimes I get lucky.
Yes - very tasteful, esp like the way the broken chords are sprinkled around with piano sounds.
Fabulous intro.
I really dig the syncopation.
Lifting some sibilances to reinject rhythmically was something I tried but hated the results. You did a great job with that.
Impressed with how clean the time-compression sounds on her voice.
@ArtistoftheWeek: I agree!!
At first, for my own remix, I was thinking I'd use *only* a string quartet :) (I really loved the raw acapella and was afraid, at first, to do anything with it)
@Geobeo: Seconded@!!!!!
Nice treatment of the bridge!
Ah - close mic'd ( I thought the electronics were direct signal in). Very nice.
Nice. I'd love to know how this sounded in the actual space.
Were you chewing gum at the same time? Rubbing your... Um, just how polyrhythmic can a guy be?
@drumpa: I was inspired by an ol' bebop drummer.
@batman: Right - - I always have impolite life-forms in mind! :):) Carbon-based, or not :-)
...digging those big fat sounds.
Very nice, Hans. That HF drone is a kind of unifying element, isn't it. There must have been a transformer on the circuit board, with nicely squealing laminations. I like that pitch quantization beginning around 3.55 too (I guess I'm a traditional ol' stick in the mud who feeds off tonality :):)) This piece seems like it'd be stunning in surround. Bravo.
The finalè: cloaked in distant echoes - no better way to end it.
uh huh.
@voidengineering: You know, I *thought* that sounded like the kind of music which has time limits :)
