Title: Orchestral noises from hell
Post by: Laguna Rising on September 29, 2007, 10:12:38 AM
This was for the ending month Kvr contest, and it's very experimental and NOT exactly succesful, probably a bit confused arrangement and manical composition made it unpopular. I post it here to get some more comment (hopefully), just click on the picture....
Inspired by the Jaath from hell Zappa album  ;D

The trouble with Zappa is that he actually covered a HUGE range of styles, so though this probably matches some of his work i couldn't say which  :-\

It's very good, but just a bit too close to the edge for my tastes.

Thanks for the comment  :)

Yeah, I had the sensation it was extreme while mixing it  ::)

Hm, very slow download here....

I can guess why it wasn't that popular... atonal is the right word I think ?

You have to be musicaly open minded to appreciate this song.
Still, I think it's good composition work  8)

L.R.,

The song is perfect as it is. Some of the instruments might be tweeked to sound "better", but to whose ears? The composition is exactly right for a Zappa mood.

What is a "successful" song? My opinion is that Frank would fall absolutely flat with his entries in most website contests, a guaranteed "loser" every time. With that in mind, the placing you received in that contest means you nailed it. Nice going!

Frank would be proud - have a cigar :D,

Oren.

hey Laguna, I forgot I had an account over here,
your always listening to my misadventures so I had to login and listen
 this has got great controlled mystery, makes perfect sense to me, I think it could carry on
dig the intro bassline and the drum track really fits aces

I know I'm a little late but, better than never, cause I dig this vibe

coolness

Ah, I love this piece. It has a sort of hysterical edge that I think is absolutely charming.  :P

Really though, great piece.
