Anticipating mp3 single
This little tune in Greek-Ska style has a few challenges set:
- To make a v simple chord progression interesting for 3 mins
- To start the collaboration with Richard Miles. Richard is a colleague of mine and a science teacher. Last year he discovered his amazing talent for poetry and already wrote 15 samizdat (self-published) poetry books. I sent him the basic idea, and he returned the lyrics, basically;-]
- To further learn the art of final production on Linux Audio. This time using the wonderful Linux DSP suite on AVLinux - particulary the Valve Compressor and the Graphic Eq while mastering. The vocals and bouzouki use the Linux DSP Reverb as well.
Critical comments (deserved) and praises (undeserved) are welcomed.
Price: £0.15

Nothing wrong with basing a tune on a repeated simple chord progression.
Do it right and you give the listener a subliminal 'hook' especially if
it's hummable.
I like what you've done here. The lyrics are the song, the progression
is the scaffold. I think you have introduced just enough variation, to
keep it interesting without taking people's attention away from the
song.
good song and excellent production quality! Great work.
This is brilliant! I love it. The sound choice is very nice and fitting, the mix is good and balanced.
the volcals are good, they are very straight and characteristic. Not quite the raggae flair, not quite the usual pop character in the voice, something in between and a little to the side. :-)
Of course the Bouzouki is very well played. At least to my ears. I liked the solo, fitting.
Only one thing got my personal attention for disturbance: The base drum. It is so hard and prominent, it doesn't mix in with the rest. But that's just me the drum fetishist. :-)
Thanks for sharing this!
Kind regards
I like the mix between ska and Greece....and I love the bouzouki solo...great mix Vik! Mastering is good. Kick sound needs some work...less plop...more depth perhaps....always great to hear your work :)
