he can jog - suite part three
Release
-->
Hey guys -
This is the third section of the suite I posted a few days ago. Crit please! It's in early stages, and I'm breaking all the rules of this project I made, but I think it might fit into the larger whole alright. | |

gorgeous electro-acoustic timbres + funky jerky beat in 5 with heavy polymeters everywhere + great, simple, direct form + singable melody + astonishing breaks = me on the floor
i don't know what to say. sounds perfect (maybe put an ending on it or at least a ringout). i think this suite of yours is gonna be a shocker.
ok a criticism:
you could show off just a touch more, at transitions. everything is so streamlined. seriously great music.
this is great music.

some other ideas- you could reharmonize the main melodic chunk somewhere at around three quarters of the way through, like a bass progression that's three/four times as long as the chunk, with tragic, chromatic changes. you're beating on that "pretty" button very effectively, and that might make it heartbreaking.
also, the transitions that i'm talking about, like where everything strips away except the blarky bass note, that could just be highlit a touch more to make it really sting.
but it's so solid, anything you do to finish is gonna be amazing.
also, what's continuously shocking and great is how much you change stuff without losing the feel, it gets big and then small, flirts with four and then goes back to five-keep that kind of thing going- make the big parts bigger and fuller, and the small parts more fragile.

yes, I love it too... it's very gentle and simple, but the structure of the melody is deceptively complex. I don't agree that you should show off more. Keep it focused and humble... this is part of your style that I most enjoy. Leave the showing off to our friend Astroid! ;)
Do you think it would be totally off to change the key at some point? Perhaps my one crit is that it seems a bit repititious.

no real crits. just awe.
this is a fantastic track. will be an excellent edition/section to the suite you have been composing thus far.
i too like the way you have created breaths throughout - going from busy to subtle and back again - i would agree w/astroid about some kind of 'ending' that might help put a deserved cap on this piece. right now i felt hanging... which i spose could have been your intention all along, haha.
at any rate, this was really excellent. looking forward to hearing everything in its completion.
thanks for sharing! 
peace

hi erk, i think i have asked you before, but what program do you use to sequence? anyhow, the track is lovely, your programming always gets me, so tight, and i really love the sound of the click track, fits perfect

Wow.
Haven't heard the rest of the suite, but I'll definitely check it out now.
This is great.
I like the streamlined-ness (??), the structure has enough detail that ornamentation would get in the way IMHO.
thanks!

It sounds lovely except for certain high frequencies , especially in the hi-hat-like percussion - akin to aliasing noise. Seriously made me feel uncomfortable even at low levels - very pervasive.
Maybe I'm just overly sensitive or maybe that was the intended effect? :D

He can jog indeed. Shame on me for missing parts 1 and 2.

thanks so much guys!
astroid - thanks man, i feel you about the transitions - i'm gonna mulch stuff up in max next and use that to spice up transitions and texture a bit i think.
fredo - i definitely have been doing modal noodling on everything these days, but for the suite I want to do a music for 18 musicians thing and have a modulation be a cue for a section change sorta.
claudia - this is all reason for now, but the next step is to mix down some isolated loops and load em into max, mess with them, and layer stuff on top of the reason session via DP and rewire.
gnocular - i should probably soften that hi hat up a bit, it makes me wonder if i'm losing my hearing and I mix high frequencies at higher volumes now :-!
anyway, thanks so much dudes - it's getting there I think!
