[LAU] Made with Linux: be mean unto me, please

[Julien Claassen]

Hello everyone!
   The subject is not a command to give me hell, although you're welcome to do 
so, if it is your wish. :-) Yet it's the title of my new song. A bit more 
fusion this time, I suspect, more dynamic changes and some nice arrangements. 
I can say that, since I'm not really responsible. It happened. Sometimes 
you're in luck, stricken by the right idea at the right moment. :-)

   the whole idea evolved from a small theme in a whole tone scale, that I had 
earlier in the year. Then I forgot it, almost reinvented it early this week 
and the rest fell in place around it. You might call it a rhapsody in prog.
   this time it's really a wobby art piece of music, since I wanted to finish 
it tonight. I started yesterday evening. So please excuse a few mistakes, 
which I would have corrected, if I had time. :-)
   Instruments used were Linuxsampler for drums, piano, Rhodes, Wurlitzer and
Gigatron (thanks Q!). Beatrix as hammond organ, fluidsynth for the bass, the 
Clavinet for the Clav :-) and the Nordlead for the analogue leads. I think 
that's it.
   I recorded, mixed and mastered everything in Nama. Loads of ladspa plugins 
were involved in that process and here's a thanks to all those LADSPA authors. 
I think they can all take it, since most of them have earned it with this 
piece. :-)
   \Also thanks to the list for loads of very good hints, that I've taken up. 
this time I'm very fond of the snare and the Clav. finally found some good 
settings, that I'll certainly save as presets. the bass drum needs more work, 
I know, but I can't figure out, what to do with it. Perhaps another one or two 
day session may be required to get it, where I want it. :-)
   Please give me your feedback, as long as it's nice or constructive or even 
better both, I'm happy to hear it. :-)
   Absolutely un-meanly yours
             Julien
