Hi,
This song is mastered with JAMin but I can't recall if
it's mixed with Ardour. This is an Ezra Pound poem
that I wanted to do something with since reading it in
the early 1980's. It took about 20 years to get the
right chemistry.
What I learned tonight. You know how Diet Coke foams
up in a glass. You get an inch of coke and eight
inches of foam. If you touch the side of yer nose with
your finger and then stick the digit into the foam, it
pops the bubbles.

Hi Ron:
Another EP fan ?! This list is too weird...
In response, I've added another mix to my Ardour music page, it's a
setting I made of The River Merchant's Wife: A Letter, from Pound's
Cathay. As usual you can find it here:

You don't have to touch your nose.

Ron,
OK, this has one really great feel. Really good. The mix sounds
quite good loud and hold up when played again at lower volumes. I went
once with Sony cans (MDR-7506's) and again with AKG's (K240DF's) at
lower volumes and less bass. Both came off very well. (Monitor amps
are still in boxes in the other room. Sorry...)
I always like songs that keep throwing in new and unexpected
sounds. You did a great job in that regard. The overall structure
builds really well.
The only negative that came across for me was that I really don't
like the reverb tails. They sound very digital to me. I didn't think
it enhanced the kick much and seems to set up some additional edginess
on the snare and chorus vocals especially, at least for me. Not sure
if that's true about the technology, but I'd love to hear a different
mix using a different reverb. I'd probably also let the end come 2
seconds later to catch the reverb tail on 'peace'.
The only tonal replacement I thought of was swapping out the sheep
vocal ;-) early in the tune for some sort of Middle Eastern violin.
Having a soloist back there might hold more interest and be able to be
used more places in the song. (Although the sheep is a literal sound
for the subject matter in my mind...)
Love the string pads. Great snare. The guitar is stout. (nice and thick...)
I've listened 5 times now. I still dig the tune a lot. Will likely
burn a CD and listen in the car today.
Thanks for sharing!

Hmmm, not sure which you're referring to. Is it the
old straw in the drum head trick or an electronic
thing? If electronic, it's probably John Berglund on
the guitar. Bergie is a master of guitar noise.
I'll post a straw in the drum head song later tonight.
It's a cool screeching sound.
After several minutes in the thinking room I know what
you're referring to. As you said, it's a percussion
instrument. Lico De Santos played the percussion but
for the life of me I can't remember the name. I'll see
Lico tomorrow and ask him about it. It is a great
sound and fit well into this song.
Wow, lots of new music to listen but so little time.
Thursday I'm gonna do some listening. I love it.
Thanks to everyone.

The drum has one head with a hole in it. The straw
runs through the hole and protrudes into the drum
shell where you grip it with a damp rag and stroke the
straw in a manly motion. :)
I don't recall how the straw is secured to the drum
head or if it even is. It probably is though because
the sound is generated by the friction of the rag
dragging on the straw. In hypocrisy the drum shell is
metal.
