Chasing Andromeda

Back from vacation and ready to roll!!

Thanks, Andromeda. The mix still has a ways to go, but it's going to get there!

Hi Michael,
Barbara got her version of A Loaf Of Bread up, if you're still interested in putting up another version
I wound call hers Country Gospel, so there shouldn't be any conflict with what you had in mind

Thanks for the comment on Ukey Blues
On Loaf Of Bread, Barbara got held up for a bit but should get something up in a little bit.
I'd call her version something like Bluegrass Gospel It will no doubt be considerably different from what you had in mind so it would work out well I would think

Thanks for your comment on 'Fake It'. With the slow start I'm getting, I'm actually kind of glad you didn't stop by any sooner :D

Thanks for commenting on Please Leave! The drums were actually just a kick drum that I sampled, then dropped an octave. It definitely gives a taiko-esque sound that I love.

Hi Michael, Back to "A Loaf Of Bread"--The muse wasn't cooperating with Barbara very good, so I sent her my head tune, which comes out generally some kind of country unless I make a special effort, so---She's going to try a country version but suggested that we leave it open for other versions also--If you're still interested in doing a renaissance type version, feel free to work on it. I could definitely hear it that way. If you've moved on to other things, that's not a problem. 50/90 is a long haul, maybe I'll write something else that'll spark the muse
Thanks for the interest regardless

Thanks for the comments on Nuclear Dominoes. For me, history is a great source of inspiration. I do believe that many of the samples that I used here are actual recordings from the area around the Chernobyl site, but I have no idea of the time frame. I'm always a bit apprehensive about posting works like this for fear of the reception that it will receive because I know that this is not everybody's cup of tea.

Hi Michael, I'd sure like for you to do something I wrote.
Barbara already put in a maybe on it though.
Medieval instruments would seem right in order as far as that point.
I can write stuff like this when I manage to break out of my usual country mindset
I really figured this would be an ugly duckling 50/90 wise--Whatta' I know?

Well, if this doesn't work, I'll try to write some more in a similar vein.
I've got a couple pieces of other stuff lined up to work on, but I'll start thinking along that line

S'cuse the mini novel here, but I think the Rubaiyat is some of the most beautiful writing ever--Makes you wonder sometimes, how much we've "progressed"

Ok, cool :)

Greetings, comrade!

Hey, thanks for listening to my tunes! Speaking of old-sounding, scratchy recordings, a few months back, I recorded a cover of Mississippi John Hurt's "Nobody's Business" in a single-take through one microphone and then morphed the track into an old 78 record: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/14088429/Nobody%27s%20Business%201928%20version.mp3 :-)

...whip it,yo. And make it tasty!

Ahem...I'd like a track bed please, heavy on the experimentation side. You'll hit me up when it's ready, yes?

Thank you a lot for your comments on my two songs! And for the encouragement... and for the kick in the butt... I need that every now and then :p Overall, mixing (or trying to mix) electronic and orchestral is sort of my "theme" for this 50/90. I'm getting pretty confident with the orchestral overall, just need to work on the electronic I feel. That's also why I chose electronic drum samples for the opening track, as I hope to keep an electronic element with me throughout the score and I wanted the opening track to reflect on the score as whole.

Either way, thanks and... yeah...portfolio... I'll get to that... after 50/90... I promise...

Thanks for the welcome. This should be a fun/interesting 90 days. I'm excited to see what comes from it.

Hi, guy! Well, my gear had to be dismantled and overhauled. Not sure when all things will be a go. I'm working on it currently but in the meantime I'll just enjoy what everybody else is servin' up for sonic consumption.

LOL, about the only gearing up that I "might" do before 5090 is to tune up my uke. Of course I will probably just wait until the 4th and stress myself out over nothing being ready :)

Thanks for the greetings, KVR comrade! Have a great 50/90 yourself! I plan to have some fun with it - maybe write the kinda stuff I usually don't: a kids song, a pseudo-opera song (based on my co-worker's awful pseudo-opera!), etc, etc. Whatever. We shall see! Cheers! :-)

Very, very psyched! :D

Hey, Michael, hope you're doing well. Looking forward to hearing your music, as always.
