Re: Vox Earworm videos

I don't know if it's part of this series but they have a fairly interesting episode on John Coltrane's "Giant Steps". There's a lot of fluff to it, but some interesting stories in there and the graphics are really good. Although one really dumb thing they do is play a background track thro...

Re: WTF Are The Modes?!

One way to explore modes is to compare the sound of a piece of music in C Major (Ionian Mode) vs C Minor (Aeolian Mode). They both gravitate towards the same tonal center (i.e. the note C feels most like home in both cases), but the moods will be quite different! This is because different chords and...

Re: Berhinger cheap knockoffs off classic analog gear

I'm surprised more of this hasn't already happened with the absurd prices used analog gear gets on the used market. Hopefully this does something to help bring that market back to sanity. I personally would be reluctant to buy one of these, even though sound and function (and even aesthetics to some...

Well, @niveous I figured trying to guilt you into giving me my return gift during Nur Ein would be a fools errand, but I see it's over now, so where's my damned song? :-)

Re: Gift of Music 2017-2018

Man, these are all pretty good. I especially liked "Isabelle", though I'd never heard the original or any of the originals so far. I'd never heard the one I did either, but I really liked it. Had the same experience last year, I think that's one of the big appeals, discovering and dissecti...

Re: Gift of Music 2017-2018

Given the state of things, I'm not feeling so bad getting mine in so late, even the host is M.I.A. Haha.

Here's mine for Niveous:

I'll email it to Chumpy as well.

Re: Deals On Gear and Software

Ableton Live is on Sale: https://www.ableton.com/en/shop/live It includes an upgrade to 10 when it's released. At $359 for standard it's still pretty damned expensive. I've been using the Lite version (which is basically the same as intro and comes free with a lot of gear). It's a fun program and pr...

Re: RIP Pat DiNizio

Just 'cause I didn't see it on here already, back in September Holger Czukay of CAN kicked the bucket. That guy was a very special kind of musician. Of course the CAN stuff is amazing, but his solo album "Movies" is mindblowing, too.

Re: Don't have a cow! (Sacred Coward Reviews)

@Micah & @Minty: Thanks for the suggestions. There were a lot of reviews for a small fight, that's awesome. I agree totally with the sentiment that the song needs more variation if it's going to stick around that long, and probably the solution is to simply cut some of the repetition, probably f...

Ten Minutes, you done lost your mind! Haha. I'll try and find some time to listen. I shuffled through. Epic sounds. The Mellotron flute at the end definitely piqued my interest.
