Conversation of the Spheres

Long Time A Comin’

Well, it has been over a year since my last post.  There has been much a going on since the last song was posted.  More music is on the way.  Life is mainly to blame for the absence of any new works.

Anyway, this is not just a song I wrote.  My very good friend, Tyler, also known as Renegade or Tylar! wrote the piano part.  We have been able to make music with eachother in the past and has only been recorded for any listening purpose one other time.  He has recently moved up from Texas and is living with me.  We plan on much music to be written and recorded.

Either way, this song is called Fragment in D.  The original piano melody was written by Tyler while in Colombia (the country) as he went about his work of helping educate and house street children.  The next couple of songs will come from the same place.  Not much to say about the track.  He wrote the piano and I added guitar and other noise stuff.  It was finished off by his tweeking of the whole.

Continued Experimentation

Here we are once again.  For the second time I am posting a new song.  With the earlier problems still unresolved this next one is still all virtual instruments.  I have continued to experiment with what GarageBand has to offer.  It is a surprising what this free program can do.  It has almost an infinite amount of sounds to make with all the adjustments that one can add to each sound.  I will say this though, the drum kits…horrible.  There is absolutely no way that someone could mash out a beat using a keyboard in proper time.  Maybe if there were a drum machine option in which it would constantly, in time, hit each note that was choosen then the drum kits would worth something.  It does make availble pre-recorded drum beat loops but I feel like I am cheating every time I start to use one.  Even still there is a challenge to using the computer keyboard to compose a music number.  Frustrating and fun at the same time.

Anyway, here it is.  Let me know what you think.  If you are out there…

Thought on the track:  This is like a follow up to the first song.  Space, in general was a theme.  It could easily be on an astronaut’s playlist.  Though, both songs are a little more contemplative but active at the same time.  It’s like the echo that one would recieve back from the universe after hitting a single note.  It returns with multiple parts and harmonies. (I do realize there is no sound in space because of the lack of air)

Patience

It has taken some time and some work, but I finally have some audio to add to this little site of mine.  This is the first track under the name Conversation of the Spheres.  Because of some difficulty with some recording equipment this song is all produced from virtual instruments found in the GarageBand instrument library.  There was no initial thought for the song it just grew from some experimentation.  Soon the problems with the recording equipment will be remedied and add some diversity to the mix.  Plus the audio player that is being used is an experiment within itself.  It will probably change but is used only now for publishing the track.

Just one quick thought on the track itself.  If I were an astronaut on a typical normal everyday spacewalk this is music I would be listening to.  Its almost trying to listen to the universe sing to itself.

The First of Many

This simple page is the beginning of new noises.  Some will be good and some not very good.  Though it is up to those who visit, listen and interact to judge.  Enjoy…or…don’t…
