It's totally different in style from my other music posted here, it's comparable to In Dulci Jubilo and The Sailor's Hornpipe from Mike but the melodies are not traditional. You'll hear that it's far better in sound quality than my older attempts. That's because this is my first finished work in Renoise and that tracker supports VST instruments. Anyway, here it is: Oclamoorie I'm curious who likes this style. -------------- If I were music, I would be Enigmatism. Back to top

I love the instrumental choices u've taken there. The off bit bass. (the endig gets way too fast & too quick to my ear) Great job eaton good luck. UV Back to top

Yuval Group: Awaiting Authorisation Posts: 203 Joined: Nov. 2003 Posted: Feb. 16 2005, 10:34 What I meant is, first the tempo, yes- I think its way to high, and second.. it gets from slow to fast in a very short time, try to go for some more rounds good luck Back to top

Alan D Group: Members Posts: 3670 Joined: Aug. 2004 Posted: Feb. 28 2005, 05:54 For some reason I missed this when it was first posted, but better late than never. I think this is great fun, and many thanks for posting it. While it's playing I'm either smiling or tapping my feet or wanting to get up and skip around, and that can't be bad. The only part I don't like is the speeding up towards the end. It speeds up too abruptly - but actually, I'd much prefer it if it didn't speed up at all - even if it was just a fade-out. Back to top

Had this been done with humans involved, it would have been an absolute killer. -------------- Byrði betri berrat maðr brautu at en sé mannvit mikit Back to top

EeToN Group: Members Posts: 845 Joined: Sep. 2001 Posted: Feb. 28 2005, 23:17 Thank you for the great comments! Uh-oh... I suppose I should really make a version without the speeding-up. I admit that it was a hazardous idea, it seems that it's only me who likes that part. Unfortunately this track is only cumbersomely editable because it takes very much CPU power in Renoise, I can only play half the tracks at the same time. Additionally, it takes almost 15 minutes until it loads. Quote Shows great knowledge of Oldfieldian development. In a track like this, it's not a hard task to reach an Oldfieldian development (IMHO). Not much more than adding more and more instruments in a logical way. Quote Had this been done with humans involved, it would have been an absolute killer. I wish I had the possibility but I like composing more than learning how to play some instruments properly. I'd be surely very happy if someone played these melodies on real instruments but I certainly wouldn't ask such requests myself from anyone. But I should really learn to play the guitar. For the meantime you could consider these computerized versions as some kind of sketches. -------------- If I were music, I would be Enigmatism. Back to top

EeToN Group: Members Posts: 845 Joined: Sep. 2001 Posted: June 16 2005, 00:05 I spent my whole yesterday with remixing and remastering the track so that the extended version is now finally downloadable. In fact, this length was the original one, the formerly here presented version is actually an edit as I didn't have any good effects for the cut-out section. I might still puzzle about more creative ways to express that this isn't a serious track. Additionally, you can hear some changes here and there, e.g. the ending is now less quick. If you listen to it with headphones you could even notice the less obvious changes as a result of remastering. The link: Oclamoorie (Extended Version) But if you hate the new parts, I can upload the remix with the edited length. -------------- If I were music, I would be Enigmatism. Back to top

Bill Bobaggins Group: Members Posts: 477 Joined: June 2005 Posted: June 27 2005, 09:20 I Love It!  (and appreciate the end being a little slower) Thanks for sharing. -------------- Speak friend and enter. Back to top

Alan D Group: Members Posts: 3670 Joined: Aug. 2004 Posted: June 27 2005, 14:06 Oh I love it too, even more than I did the earlier version. I wish you could have seen my feet tapping, and my arms jiggling about, and the laughing at the little beeps and burps in the middle. Gorgeous. Thank you. The only thing I remain uneasy about is the speeded-up ending, and I'd still prefer no speeding up, but just a fade-out. But perhaps I suffer from some kind of speeded-up-ending phobia? Back to top

Ratty Group: Members Posts: 386 Joined: Jan. 2005 Posted: June 27 2005, 16:57 EaToN - Well done mate, this is an amazing little tune. It really had me tapping my feet. You should be really proud of this!! I take my hat off to you.   -------------- Far away across the field The tolling of the iron bell Calls the faithful to their knees To hear the softly spoken magic spells Back to top

EeToN Group: Members Posts: 845 Joined: Sep. 2001 Posted: June 27 2005, 21:23 Thank you again, guys! As I read your posts, I feel that you like this track more than me. Though it's strange for me reading about my playing as I can't play any of these 11 instruments properly. Maybe once... I'm thinking about buying a tambourine and bodhran first, maybe they aren't that hard to learn to play. Maybe there will be a Fade-out version as well. -------------- If I were music, I would be Enigmatism. Back to top

TubularBelle Group: Members Posts: 1487 Joined: April 2004 Posted: June 28 2005, 04:06 I'm not usually a fan of folk music but this is lovely, and it stays with you, i'm still humming it. Very pretty, prefer the longer version too. Tracy. -------------- I hate getting up early. I didn't even realise there were two 6 o'clocks in one day! Back to top

Bill Bobaggins Group: Members Posts: 477 Joined: June 2005 Posted: June 28 2005, 19:14 I wanted to add that I am continguing to listen to it - can't get it out of my head. -------------- Speak friend and enter. Back to top

Tansy Group: Members Posts: 416 Joined: April 2005 Posted: June 29 2005, 03:18 I was going to post a reply on this the other day because it is indeed a lovely tune but,(don't know how to say this in musical parlance) the background tap,tap,tapping spoils it for me.This is in no way a critisism though-just feedback because I'd love to hear it with a different backbeat ie:a more subtle sound that dosen't distract but just enhances. It never ceases to amaze me just how good some of the fan tracks are & the time & dedication that's gone into their making.This is another one that really deserves some recognition . Back to top

Well, it seems that there is no music that everyone likes, is there? I had problems with that bodhran as I imagined it sounding just like the one in Portsmouth but I suspect that it isn't possible with these samples I have.

Bill Bobaggins Group: Members Posts: 477 Joined: June 2005 Posted: July 02 2005, 16:13 EeTon - I can't get this song out of my head.  I would love to hear some others from you.  Do you have others you can share?  Is there a CD? -------------- Speak friend and enter. Back to top
