Hi
3rd sunday of advent! I've made a new version (new melody and music) of
the danish christmas carol "Glade jul, dejlige jul".
http://music.modlys.dk/track/glade-jul-dejlige-jul
http://atte.dk/download/glade_jul_dejlige_jul.mp3
This time it's a little different, basically a pop tune with a touch of
chiptune...
Feedback welcome, as always. Hope you enjoy!

Hello Atte!
Although I'm even not finished listening to your piece, I love it! I feel it
has a few of the elemtns I always felt your music could use to achieve more
potential in one way. Of course it is closer to other music now, so not as
unique. But I still think it sounds superb and much to the linking of the pop
fan in me. As you might have gathered the pop fan in me loves Britney Spears
and the lot and this song has the punch to it. I suppose it's mostly due to
the punchy drums and the orchestral hit sample.
It's very upbeat and frank and not celubrious, that of course makes it
adorable as a chrsitmas tune on top of everything else. :-)
I knew you had it in you to make a perfect electro POP song! :-) Lovely I'd
like to see this line continued in parallel t your usual "Atte" line of songs,
which is just you and noone else I know!
Thanks for sharing and do go on!
Warmly yours
Julien

Thanks for all the kind words. Frankly I struggled quite a lot with this
one to avoid total "blah". A happy pop tune in major, with two chords is
a *very* tricky thing for me to do.
Glad you liked it, not sure I'll be able to keep up in this direction :-)

Hello Atte1
Well I think it wasn't due to the fact, that you only used two chords, I
really didn't listen out for that right now. I might tomorrow. But now it's
late and we had a birtyhday party, if you get my meaning. But the general
feeling of the song. The arrangement and th sounds used. Always since I heard
"det nu", I was seeing a remix in my mind, which I didn't try my hand at,
only
because I don't have a well enough MIDI sequencing setup yet. :-)
Warmly yours
Julien

I must say that I preferred the opening, which really had a fantastic
tone to it in every way. I very much like the use of the (presumably)
delay-enriched keyboard figure - it provides the same sort of quality
that The Edge does in U2's Joshua Tree or more recently The Temper
Trap can be heard using, though with much subtlety.
But even if I didn't love the drums arriving, the production quality
(given the genre) is really great. I'd love to hear a longer, moody
and dark piece that develops the opening without the drums and/or a
different version that uses more organic sounding percussion in place
of the syndrums. Djembes, shakers, maybe some dumbek, that kind of
thing. The somewhat restrained keyboard solo toward the end also
offered hints of something bigger, much, much bigger.
Always good to hear talent at work.

I agree that it hints of U2, especially in the EP figure that's buried
in the chorus.

Maybe the problem is that the intro suggests something that's not
coming. I tried to build up to a surprise, but it might be that the
surprise is in fact (at least to some ears) is actually a
disappointment. I thought about revealing more of the actual tune in the
intro (thereby spoiling the surprise, but avoiding the disappointment),
for instance by having the full chorus without vocals going as intro.
But that makes it a little too much with both 1st and 2nd verse going
sparse...
Always good to hear talent at work.
Thanks!

Agree with Paul here. Liked the song, and the early part, but thought the drums
were too 'in your face' - just my personal opinion of course.

Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.
