Ok Sioux/Crow drum beats and flute Oh wow!! I just put that into my opening post. You know what they say about great minds!! And this video includes Edward S. Curtis photos. I have a portfolio of them that was given to me many years ago. One of my most cherished positions. |

WUT!! 29 pages and I'm just signing on for the first time today?! Ghost Town?! Circle the Wagons! Love the snippet. It's about time. Haven't you just been waiting for the day when you log in and something spectacular is happening--that was unexpected? This was one of those days. I know, it's the best. My mind was all geared up to see around 8 pages or so.....I love when that happens. |

So, back when I thought this was going to be a slow, uneventful day I heard this song and thought that "if Adam were going to do a cover or two" this one would sound good with a little updating.

This is the type of flute, I am hearing too, actually. Native American wooden flute rather than pan flute, the latter has an even softer and more fluid sound. Now that sound could still be electronically created, not ruling that out at all, but I think that this Native American wooden flute is the instrument Adam and MM&S were going for. And it would make sense to me from the standpoint setting a scene. The Native American sitting in a Ghost Town and playing the flute, or alternatively the ghost of the town's past hanging over the deserted town. Now, what I am curious about, is that drumline. Do you think this is electronically created or played on natural drums? Because I am very much leaning towards electronic. It's a lot of different notes and a few of these notes sound to me like they are purposely distorted, which is what leads me to think it may be done electronically. It's close to some of the existing island drums, but not quite. But I know nothing about drums, so I am just reacting to what I am hearing....anyone have any insight on that? NatGlampoon, in your most wonderful sample you have a chord progression going with that flute melody. Especially that beginning chord, what is that? Any chance you could pm me the chords for that, if you have them, pretty please... I've already put in my opinion that it is not a flute of any sort but is whistling with reverb added. However, if I'm wrong, I don't think it is electronically created because of the audible breathing sounds. I guess those sounds could be added to the recording, but why bother. I'm sure what you are probably calling the drumline is two different sounds--both electronic. One is the "bass" drum, which plays on each beat (very common in pop music). The other more prominent one is more of a fun, rhythmic, bass line to me because it changes pitch to match the chords. It sounds similar to when a drum stick is used to tap on the strings of an electric bass (ala Roger and Neil), and the bassist changes pitches. There are very few drums that are tunable to the point of matching pitches (such as timpani/kettle drums). The nature of most drums is that they do not play exact pitches. This is a very electronic sound. It could be produced by recording a drum sound and then altering it so it produces exact pitches. In my opinion, it is VERY electronically produced.After the wonderful QAL sound, I would so hate to go to electronically (over)produced - which is why I am withholding judgement until I hear more. Hoping for good stuff tho. |

WUT, .....nope, I meant the drum sounds, how they are created. I am not talking about the vocals, which we don't know anything about yet. But what I can tell, is that there is at least for now a lot of room to develop some sick vocals and make them stand out, and we heard that from Maxwell, that the vocals do stand out. So, I think, all is good. In general, I also hope that there is less 'spit-licking' of vocals going on this time around, so I am with you there, but my discussion above, was really not at all focused on that at all, so hope that clarified that for you. |
