Title: Thro' a Field of Dreams
Post by: Gu Djin on November 25, 2010, 02:02:57 AM
I don't normally expose you to my earliest attempts at composing, or recording.  And I'm not sure how this will go down as it's long, it varies in rhythm and the timing in very free and although spread over several tracks, it is just the one guitar for everything.

This was my first reasonable recording of an acoustic piezo di, electro nylon strung in a style I have no description for.  Very experimental, but it worked well enough for me to continue wandering down less explored musical lanes and as such I have a fondness for it, probably greater than it deserves.

It's on SoundClick as it breaches the 6meg barrier.  More history lesson than Rock an' Roll.  I should add that this is composed the improvisation is more in the fingering than the separate parts, otherwise it wouldn't have been matchable over the four or five tracks I used.

Players not working for me.  If you really want to hear it please try the SC link, I've checked that and it's fine

Cheers for the info.  I been trying to get the player to work, but it doesn't seem to like my song.  Works fine on the SC link I've put up though.  Maybe one of the mods can tell me why ?

I'm on my second listening. This need a real focusing on listening. An ethereal soundscape - best to listen via headphones! Ambitious music - I like it!

I didn't think I'd listen to this all the way through, but I did, twice, and I shall play it again later when I get home. There is something intangibly deep in the rythmns. It masquerades as a simple little tune but is far more complex than I gave it credit for. Sorry. I love it..............Willie

I like it!  Ther's a real teeter totter effect going on with the rhythm, that throws you off balance then pulls you back in...very subtle but effective...well done! :)
