Greetings everyone! I finished a new piece last week and now I feel it may be time to post it here an hope, that you might enjoy it. http://juliencoder.de/nama/shout.ogg Or: http://juliencoder.de/nama/shout.mp3 Lyrics are here: http://juliencoder.de/nama/shout.html Or take a look at: http://juliencoder.de/nama/music.html This piece was my own first, real colaborative finished work. I'm very grateful to Silvia for the samples and much more than that. Thanks go to Joy Bausch for playing the ukulele and electric guitar. Last but not least thanks go to Mr. Bennett for playing the lap steel. It was wonderful work, that you all put into it. For the gear heads amongst us here is a list of used equipment in software and hardware. Linuxsampler for Drums, the Gigatron - thanks Q for a wonderful sample-library! -, the Rhodes and Wurlitzer e-pianos, the grand piano and the glockenspiel and trumpets. Fluidsynth was used for the bass and Beatrix had its own very organ-ic part in it. The Roland XP-30 for orchestral sounds, tron-dubling and windchimes. The Korg TR-76 for percussion and the bell-type sound. The Clavia Norlead3 for additional synth solo sounds and the Waldorf Microwave XT for sub-bass, the sparkly filter sweep and some additional synth backing. And of course my trusty old Clav. Nama did all the recording, processing and mixing/mastering! Thanks Joel for again investigating so much time and well-directed effort into Nama! It paid greatly for my work. Loads of LADSPA plugins of course for effects! Jconvolver and csound saw to some good reverbs and roomy impressions. Joy's guitar was also recorded in Nama, Mr. Bennetts lap steel was recorded and slightly preprocessed in Ardour. Soundstretch did some slight pitch correction on some of the guitars, because they wouldn't fit in some parts. Don't ask me why, they were OK, when they were recorded for one part. So that's about it. Comments and feedback is, as ever, welcome. Main thing though, that you might enjoy it.
