I like it!

I know almost nothing about GarageBand. Did you use a MIDI controller for the sounds, and record the vox directly into the iPad?

[Oldrottenhead]

Excellent job, Geir! Some really interesting sounds there, and I love the vocal.

I'm wondering about that too. I know you mentioned in another topic that you're thinking of buying a midi keyboard controller, so I assume you made this without one. How does that work? Or did you use a full-size keyboard instrument that happened to have a MIDI Out connector? I've done that in the past with my Yamaha keyboard hooked up to my computer with a Roland USB midi interface to control soft synths. But it's much too big to leave in my office, which is why I bought the 25-key Akai keyboard controller. It stays upstairs in my office and the 66-key Yamaha stays downstairs with my BR and guitars.

That's not very nice. Go to the loo if you have to wee. Don't go wee on Geir's nice new iPad!

I love the harmony feel on this!! Sounds real orchestral!! Fantastic composition and performing! Piepod stuff for sure!

Sheer class. The emotion-soaked vocal makes it all so poignant, and the string-laden backing is beautifully restrained. Wonderful!

I too would like to know if you recorded the vox straight into Garageband.

Always great to hear a new Geir original!!!!
