Kara-Moon Forum

Very, very bad english language  :D

Imagine.
You're at the edge of a pond. Twilight.
Herds of mosquitos with fighting formation.
Cries of love of mad dragonflies and splashes with worrying eyes :)

Imagine.

An old friend, Nicolas, is playing mandolin on this piece at the point 2.31. (There's also a midi mandolin in background).

Kara said to me (read the thread):
So, I've modifed the pan of voices and add a little background vocal. It's better, yes, Kara.

Oups, I forget, the lyrics (sorry, in french language  ;) )

Le cri d’amour des libellules

L'étang a planté ses roseaux,
Pas loin, tremble un saule, sur l'îlot.
Faut bien dire qu'ça romance sur les rives,
Libellules en folie qui se suivent.

L'étang a figé ses drapés,
Brumes du soir, qui embrouillent les clartés,
Les poules d'eau en appellent aux canards,
Brumes du noir, qui endorment les têtards.

-----------------------------
Bam, dababam, papapa papam, papapapapam...
-----------------------------

Je me baisse en frôlant le clapot,
Transhumance des moustiques en troupeaux.
Je me baisse en touchant la morte-eau,
Le soleil se déchire en lambeaux

... and oups, I forget again : the pond samples are not mine. Found on Freesound.

You painted a vivid colours picture with this song.
I can't understand the words and posting the lyrics helps a lot  :-[
I like the dramatic mood and sad atmosphere.
Technically speaking this is a very good work. Each instrument comes out of the mix really well.
Well done

Cheers

Très jolie  ;D

Just an advice, copy the hard left panned vocals allso to the right with a very small delay. It will fill up the song.

Once again we have a very different style.

Interesting use of the accordian. Is it real one or synth?

I like the mix of instruments overall, as well as the vocals.

The accordion is 2 SF2 banks. I've listened some musicians and CD to understand this instrument (left hand, right hand) and write this song. The rythm is "pampoumpa, pampoumpa, pampoumpa"    :D.
Now, a friend is OK to play accordion for me. Nice.

Thank's for kind comments.

Daniel, Super song!

I can’t understand the words but the picture you’ve painted is fantastic.

Great production.  The blend was perfect!

Those were the best accordion SF2’s I’ve ever heard.

 ;)

Daniel

Very nice atmospheric piece. Accordion is well done. Good work.

I thought so to. The Accordian caught my attention immediately - I use to play in the school accordian band!

Oh, you're a happy guy, Folderol. I like this instrument.
An old instrument, but so nice.
I should like to learn...

Daniel

A nice improvement
well done

Cheers

A very nice song Daniel. The accordian sounds great - very authentic. The vocals are good (even though I don't understand the words) and the whole thing is very atmospheric. Great production too - every instrument sounds clear.

I am lucky, I can understand the words and I can tell you that they are as beautiful as the music!!

Superb, I enjoyed it so much. Thanks for this pure moment of poetry.

I can listen to it in loop for long... I'm a Daniel Big Fan  :-*

bye  ;)

Sorry, I'd not answered about the last sweet posts. I'm happy.
Thank's very beaucoup ! And now I've a big fan  ;)

Now, I want to listen your new songs on this forum and I'll post my feeling about these pieces.

Bye.

Daniel

I didn't understand all the vocals, but I think the music made up for it with that moody melody. Nice recording too  ;D
