Hey! I did not like the drums in the beginning, in the middle of the tune it was more in context.

The astronaut vocal is way too loud and intrusive. Also, these voice recordings are way too harsh and not only I would make them at least 50% more quiet, I would dull them a bit and take out the harsh high frequencies.

It was made last year, but i think i did not mention it on the list, until now. This was my first collaborative experience and i liked it, we made 3 version, but this one is my preferred [1]. The body of this piece [2] is very simple: seq24 controlling 2 voices (3 in fact): one is zyn on the bass (plus some bleeps), and the second is a custom amsynth patch (the lead voice). All that recorded with timemachine, then edited with audacity to add the percussive effects my friend made. Then i overdubbed it with an edited recording of a Mercury7 mission voice from the NASA (freely available on archive.org <http://archive.org> [*]). [1] the full version: https://soundcloud.com/brouits/d-sert-nina-kardec-collab [2] the vanilla seq24/zyn/ams version: https://soundcloud.com/brouits/desert-second-take [*] Scott Carpenter voice only: https://ia801408.us.archive.org/28/items/Mercury7/462-AAG.flac Hope you will enjoy it, with big loudspeakers (some sounds are very low and at low frequencies). This piece yields me to a question: where does the musical discourse lie between the synth sounds and the astronaut's voice ? Cheers, - Ben -- Louigi Verona http://www.louigiverona.ru/
