Directions?
A group of friends persuaded me to hike up Quicksilver, a small park of
a hill near where I live (friends can make you do such weird things).
Those conifers up there are quite majestic with their towering stature.
They impressed me enough to write a song :) At the top of the hill,
there's a ledge for sightseeing. But, instead of taking home a
beautiful view of a forest, I got a beautiful view of the neighborhood.
I realized that this hill is the only obstacle stopping the city from
eating up the entire coast. Of course, even this won't really stop us.
Well, so the song is, as Enya said, "In Memory of Trees."
The disappearing nation.
Ok, now for some musical notes: It's amazing what 3 simple chords can
do (chords are so strong in slow songs!). Even a slight change changes
the mood of the song. Kewl :) This kind of power seams to be lost in
fast paced techno. Oh yea, be sure the bass boost on your speakers are
up! I gave the bass one channel - juz cleaner that way.
Like the instruments? Most are from me, but if you think that some
would be perfect for your own song, pleez use em! The art of music is
more important than silly copyrights. Just remember to release it for
the rest of us to hear :)
Thanks goes out to pulse for sharing his never ending genius of code
& music. Airon, who taught me how a slow song can blossom beautifully.
Spassky, who's always up for a game. Chip Davis, whose music opened my
ears to the true use of the piano. And the local radio station KSJS who
dares to play the detestable electric dark wave industrial music that I
love.
Music around the world. Noisy planet.
