What's this?

Note: This is a headphone mix. Do to a left/right channel delay on the kettledrum, if listened to on speakers its timbre may be detrimentally altered, lack punch and realism, sound distant, or all of the above.

How big is this file? (asking to see if I can download this
via modem ...)

Excellent.


Although the other voices are really nice, I'm especially impressed by 
the percussion.

I have to add my compliments too. Very nice!   So, I have some questions:

I assume these are just short snippets from several cuts on an entire CD.
If that is true, is this CD available for sale.  I'd like to support the
artist . :)

When you get a chance can you tell us a little bit about what sound sources
you used.  Is everything modular?  Everything MOTM?  What about outboard
effects?

Thanks
Larry

Wow, lots to complement on.  Specifically, the percussion is excellent.

Like JLH, I'm wondering if this is pure modular, or if not what other
instruments were involved.  I'm also curious how long it took you to
create the recordings.

You're not too bad with digital imagery either. ;)

"What's This?" is correct. It's great, though!

Is it a demo of bits and pieces?
Is it a finished CD?

Put down for buying a copy, if it's a CD.

All of the above --

Excuse me for my lack of promptness.  I hope I don't appear to be ignoring people.  I'm on a new computer now and have been fighting viruses and spyware to the point where I had to keep my System32 folder open, task manager on the screen, and a constant eye on my modem, so that at a moment's notice I could shutdown tasks and delete the never ending stream of mysterious exe, dll, bat, and other files that appear out of nowhere and start running.  I couldn't take the constant stress, it was hell.  Finally after updating my virus protection and installing the included firewall software, it seems to have stopped most/all of it.


Thanks for the positive comments on my mp3 demo.  I'll answer the questions now.

Actually there will not be entire CD of this stuff.  I'm working on a Well-Tempered Synthesizer #2 CD in the Carlos style though.  But I took a little diversion from that experimentation and did those renaissance pieces to try out some things and gain more experience.

>>When you get a chance can you tell us a little bit about what sound sources you used.  Is everything modular?  Everything MOTM?  What about outboard effects?<<

MOTM is the only synth used.  I used basic synth modules, nothing particually unique to the motm.  The outboard gear used was an ART 15 band graphic EQ, Lexicon PCM-41 digital delay, and T.C. Electronics reverb.

It's hard to describe from that demo mp3 because it doesn't show all I did, and what might appear to be a bunch of separate pieces of music might just be different parts of the same piece.  But I did a total of three pieces (between 30 seconds to a minute each) excluding the misc breathy small pipe organ test.  I did one piece in a single night.  The other two pieces took about 1.5 days each.  It was all a fast rush job.

>>You're not too bad with digital imagery either.<<

Plenty of practice from the Sage I guess.  BTW, the synth in the picture is a real keyboard instrument from the 1700's, so it was just asking for some synth panels to be added.

Perhaps I should talk to Paul S. first based on his e-mail, but I was planning on posting the full pieces after I get them pieced together and correct a thing or two.

As per earlier this post, it's not a CD, nor will it ever be.  But I didn't know you were on this list.  I've only seen you on the Dotcom list.  One never knows who is hiding in the shadows.
