I like it....strange but attractive. Yes that's my comment. Strangely attractive . -------------- BrandonBlume.com "The beauty in life is in the embracing of the variety of things.

How much of it is influenced by the music in New Orleans? -------------- "In the land of the Dacotahs, Where the Falls of Minnehaha Flash and gleam among the oak-trees, Laugh and leap into the valley." - Song of Hiawatha Back to top

christ Group: Members Posts: 19 Joined: Oct. 2005 Posted: Oct. 16 2005, 16:06 Suprisingly enough, not very much. New Orleans music on the whole is not conducive to the whole spacey, long music I've been in to. Music from here influences me insofar as playing with my friends. It's fun music, not very serious at all. P.S. No one is telling me if I am a fool or not... Back to top

It sounds to me like a mixture of Platinum + Hergest ridge, obviously with alot of your own style influencing how it flows. Thanks very much, cool piece   P.S You're not wasting your time, just be an ultra perfectionist for sound quality and timing etc and you'll be laughing   -------------- When the night's on fi-ya, do you need love's arms to hold yew? :D Back to top

christ Group: Members Posts: 19 Joined: Oct. 2005 Posted: Oct. 16 2005, 16:58 cool, i mean, obviously it isn't perfect. but my notion was that if i can just come up with stuff like this pretty much at random, then i should be able to; if i actually sat down and WORKED at it, really make something of myself. i know i'm a bit of a loony dreamer, but if i'm not, who will be? ya know?

Well, I think it's a bit of that style, but then a little bit more electronic... So... great   -------------- "And now we're going to play Platinum!" Back to top

christ Group: Members Posts: 19 Joined: Oct. 2005 Posted: Oct. 18 2005, 16:48 ANYWAY! right, so i was trying to upload the whole thing, a whopping 18 minute, 30 MB file, and my computer totally freaked out on me. so, i have replaced the long work with this short one, which sorta gets the gist of galacid... it's called Les Trois Énigmes Glorieuses de Gala, and it's about 3 minutes long, sort of a demo or overture i wrote before Galacidadgelacidesoxyriboneucleusacid; consider it a sellout version if you will: it's much shorter and easier to listen to in general. sorry about the accidental removal of Galacidadgelacidesoxyriboneucleusacid, but i'm young and foolish and really have no sense for the internet. here 'tis: http://www.nolabands.com/jamroom/bands/235/music.php note: yeah, same page; different song Back to top
