Title: "In the Cold"
Post by: OsCKilO on May 05, 2009, 08:19:56 PM
An argument with someone you care about..... ???

After the initial blazing row and you stomp off in different directions, there are a whole range of different emotions which seem to wiz through your mind all at once.

These fiery emotions seem to mask another feeling which is present from when the last word in the argument is uttered, but is only felt when all else is spent........ :-\

This experience is a resonant cold and numbness, which can feel painful and unresolved, but at the same time quite peaceful.

The fight is over, and it is just you and your thoughts.

Simply you in your arctic retreat until the storms have passed.....or until the next round!

This ones called "In the cold"

Thanks for the feedback on the last post!







P.s

Our MBR seems to have died after this was mastered......... :o
(Card read/write error on every card! and tracks become muddled)

Only had it a month........ :'(

Need to find the receipt now..........

Hey! This is highly genuine and highly intriguing. Your description, picture, and title prefaced the song perfectly. I could imagine myself sitting on an ice shelf contemplating my next struggle. However, I'm vexed by my ice shelf because its also my sanctuary; a comfort zone.

There is a wide array of emotion in here and I just downloaded it. Fine work. Majestic. Waiting on more when your MBR gets fixed.

A nice peaceful blend to wind down with. Kind of highlights my day a little bit. You guys sure know how to put emotion to music.

Get that thing fixed.....

Beautiful work. Your imagery - yet again - lifts everything into something very special and moving. I like the little chords and notes that appear unexpectedly along the way to shift the focus of the listener. There's a little echo of David Gilmour's four note refrain from 'Shine on you crazy diamond', but it's been turned into something almost child-like, like a dreamy, half-asleep nursery rhyme. I like the way your music makes me think and see...  :)

Majestic is a word used in a previous post and it sums this up beautifully. Elements of Tomita here and I got the "Shine on" reference as well (especially at the start). Very different, great ambient feel and really enjoyed it. You guys are really progressing and turning out some varied stuff.

Cheers,

Nigel

Really really beautiful.  Shine on T and Kai (Osckilo).  Keep turning raw emotion into beautiful music, I feel like I am floating away listening to this.

lovely atmospheric music.

re your card, i have had a few probs on that score, tho tends to happen when batteries run out during mastering. you can sometinmes solve this by reformatting the card,but i usually end up buying a new sd card.

We had never heard "Shine in you crazy diamond"  before it was mentioned in this post.

Heard some of their early stuff after you guys mentioned the similarity to Syd Barret.

Intrigued, we had to look up the song.




https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vyqgjCKm9nQ


The similarity is a bit embarrassing. Apart from the lack of drums, We sound like a blatant rip off from part of thier intro!

We honestly didn't mean to sound like them, and thought that this was one of our originals. Sorry about that.....!

Looking at some of their song titles ("Comfortably Numb"!!?!), shades of their ideas can even be seen in the concept behind the song.

This was unintentional.......Apologies again.

We are just fans of Dm Chord arrangements.....Guess there are only so many things you can do with it.....

The Evil Mrs Osckilo said that it sounds like the intro to a Shakira song!
Listened to the one in question and found it to have the same Dm riff as "Shine on".

She said it sounded familiar......I should have listed to her before I posted it.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=582qo1wcg7Y

It seems really hard to come up with something that hasn't already been done.

When the MBR is better, we'll try for something completely different.

Thanks for the feedback on this one.

Pink Floyd must have really implanted themselves into our subconscious as we were growing up.

We were made in the 80's after all.........

Sorry again, 

Peace

Yes, very atmospheric - I like to look at the picture while I'm listening...great tune & accompanying graphic!

I'm also very glad to here that your MBR has come back alive - the thought of my MBR possibly dieing some day....just crushes me...but then I can go to that peaceful arctic retreat and I feel better...

It was once said, I believe by Hendrix, "All I have is 3 Chords and the Truth." Being compared to someone great is a great compliment. After all if you are what you eat, you are also what you hear!

I agree in that you set it up perfectly.  Your soundscapes lend themselves to supporting video so well.  Now you need 70's wah or Mutron so you can venture into porn.

Wait, did I just say that out loud?
