Brilliant, Julien! Loved the feeling of the piano, and the sound was fantastic! I'm going to have to do some more research into the convolving reverb, as the reverb you had on the piano was awesome. Lingering and distinct, yet not overpowering. The piano sample was one of the most realistic I've heard. Bravo, man. One note, if I may, the static on the vocal track coming in and out was a bit distracting from the beautiful piano sound. Other than that, I think it was beautiful! Thanks for sharing!

Hello everyone! It's not yet the last song, there's still a mile long backlog catalogue. :-) It's just piano and a few vocals. The whole piece is very short, very depressed. Think of Icelandic winter depression and suicide at the piano and you get6 the picture. :-) http://juliencoder.de/nama/**last_song.ogg<http://juliencoder.de/nama/la… and the mp3: http://juliencoder.de/nama/**last_song.mp3<http://juliencoder.de/nama/la… And of course directly from the website: http://juliencoder.de/nama/**music.html<http://juliencoder.de/nama/music… there's not much in this: My black grand piano sample, jconvolver, once with a room, once with a big hall, some LFO and the usual, i.e. Fons' brilliant 4-band parametric filter, the wonderful GLAME filters, G2verb, the CALF phaser and the TAP echo. Enjoy!

Hi Jason! Thanks for the compliment. Yes, the vocal recording wasn't too good. But I had to record it while playing toget the timing right. I tried to compensate for the noise a little, but there wasn't much. At least not in such a short time. I recorded it early this evening. The piano is the sampletekk.com Black Grand Medium Ambient version. The reverb is from the Dramaten Theater. It was one of the free ones, that Dave had on his site, in the csound category. I suppose you can look for it. The reverbed track was partly panned with an oscillator and I put a filter on, that was also modulated by an LFO, so the it would be very damp in the centre. Over the first vocal section I had a shorter reverb mixed. Warm regards Julien ---------------------------------------- http://juliencoder.de/nama/music.html

Much the same thoughts here -- that piano sound, and particularly the ambience around it, is just fantastic. Maybe rolling off the high-end on the vocal somewhat would help push it back in to the mix and make it fit better with the piano? Thanks Leigh

It's not the most cheerful song I've ever heard. I love it. I hear hints of Roger Waters.

Hello Al! I felt greatful for the comment until you mentioned Roger Waters. Now I'm thinking of declaring a feude. :-) Honestly... Glad you likd it.

Just for a second at the beginning I thought I was listening to some Ryuichi Sakamoto's soundtrack. (hope you like him more than Roger Waters ;) ) Really nice piano sound, I concur with the other responses. Didn't know about Sampletekk. It is a short piece, it could has some seed to make it a bit longer. Thanks for sharing, as always is good to hear any of your music/experiments. -- Carlos sanchiavedraz * Musix GNU+Linux http://www.musix.es

Hola Carlos! Thank you. I don't really know Ryuichi Sakamoto, so I can't dislike him. :-) With Waters I have a personal grudge. It's a long standing tradition to loath him. :-) As for the length: for once I concurred with a German comedian, who siad: "If you don't have anything to say, just shut the fuck up." Well, at least I kept it as short is it needed to be. :-) Warm regards Julien ---------------------------------------- http://juliencoder.de/nama/music.html

He is very multi-facetted his first success was somewhat like japanese folk blended with 60ies Beat/Popmusic. Later he wrote big orchestral scores and even touched the realms of (lighter) Avantgarde classics. His craft is remarkable and he gave many films a very adeaquate musical background.

I hope, Roger will not return that grudge too thoroughly and hope, your relationship will improve some day ;-)

He said: "Wenn man keine Ahnung hat: einfach mal die Schnautze halten." That would be something more like: "If you have no idea: simply just shut up."

Hello Hartmut! Oh yes, I stand corrected. It was so long ago, that I heard Nuhr. I think my relationship with Waters and pink floyd will never improve. :-) But I think I might look up some Sakamoto on youtube. Any recommendationfor the orchestral or avantgarde period?

I'm not really a Roger Waters fan either, but the way you structured the vocal line reminded me of his work. -- --- My bands, CD projects, music, news, and pictures: http://www.lateralforce.com My blog, with commentary on a variety of things, including audio, mixing, equipment, etc, is at: http://audioandmore.wordpress.com Staat heißt das kälteste aller kalten Ungeheuer.

Hi Julien, I hardly listened some of your prog stuff entirely, love your J. S. Bach reminiscences but this one little piece is absolutely special. Nothing to say to be tedious or strained. Thank you for sharing this lonely fall's sonic flower... Antanas

Hello! Thank you everyone for your replies and so very kind feedback. I'm glad, that this piece seems to have touched something here and there. More than one can expect and all that one hopes for. :-) Thanks also for the hints about the production, especially the problems with the voice. I'lll have to see, how to clean it up better, if I do something like that again. Warm regards Julien ---------------------------------------- http://juliencoder.de/nama/music.html
