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 (http://www.laguna-rising.com/img_21_.jpg) (http://www.laguna-rising.com/Music/0709_LagunaRising_UncleFrank.mp3) Cheers Title: Re: Orchestral noises from hell Post by: folderol on September 29, 2007, 07:32:51 PM 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. Title: Re: Orchestral noises from hell Post by: Laguna Rising on September 30, 2007, 09:31:58 AM Thanks for the comment :)
just a bit too close to the edge for my tastes. Yeah, I had the sensation it was extreme while mixing it ::) Title: Re: Orchestral noises from hell Post by: kara on September 30, 2007, 09:40:46 AM 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) k Title: Re: Orchestral noises from hell Post by: Oren on October 01, 2007, 04:23:09 PM 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.

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 Title: Re: Orchestral noises from hell Post by: Laguna Rising on November 27, 2007, 08:09:34 PM Thanks a lot for the (always welcome) comments Ed !
I'm really glad for the positive words from you, 'cause I like your music, then your opinion is important 8) ;D Cheers Title: Re: Orchestral noises from hell Post by: Servetus on November 29, 2007, 09:21:47 PM Ah, I love this piece. It has a sort of hysterical edge that I think is absolutely charming. :P
Really though, great piece. -Servetus (It finished and I wanted more!) Title: Re: Orchestral noises from hell Post by: Laguna Rising on November 29, 2007, 10:52:36 PM mmmhhh... 'hysterical edge' ? I like the description, thanks for listening 8)
