Not an overall bad recording, and I’m quite pleased with the lyrics of this Psychedelic Folk tune.

Apathy and greed is in the human seed

One of my personal favorite recordings from the 52 song MYTHOPOETICA demo collection, even though there’s a sound quality issue (the bass had a bit of a buzz). This was my first time using a wammy bar – I liked it!

Hope you enjoy the trip. The bass line kept my fingers busy on this more aggressive Psychedelic Folk tune. The poem is actually three crammed into one, all about the same dream.

2112 part VI: Soliloquy
The protagonist returns to the cave and broods for "days". He imagines "what my life might be in a world like I have seen", and now considers life under the Federation "cold and empty", with his spirits "low in the depths of despair". He resolves that, in order to "pass into the world of my dream, and know peace at last", he must take his own life— his narrative ending as "my life blood spills over."
One of the most famous soliloquies in literature is Hamlet's where he contemplates suicide, saying "To sleep, perchance to dream". The title of the song movement indicates a similar struggle where the protagonist chooses the liberation of spirit "that with my death I may pass into the world of my dreams, and know peace at last".
Starry Nightmoth and I (Gene Eric Mann) labored a few days on this tricky number. We gave it our best shot, but mucho kudos to Del Shannon's keyboardist -- his break rift was amazing! We settled for sort of faking our way through, which was…
BTW, the Del Shannon version is in A minor/A -- we transposed our version to E minor/E simply because I can't "wa wa wa wa wonder" and "wai wai wai wia why" as high as teenage Del anymore.

This is my arrangement of the classic organ piece attributed to Bach, for two pianos. It was done entirely by ear, so I changed many chords. It's part of my album, Analytic Continuation.
Here's me and the old Joanna live in the cellar for the John Lennon Jukebox ...i surprised myself on this one ....only a couple of fluffs on the piano..which with only three takes and reading the lyrics from the ipad is the surprise....hope you…
It was about time I got on with musical expression. This song is about our interconnectedness. Our identity. Serious mystic stuff eh? Yeah - wait until you hear it - haha.

So 50/90 is an unnatural forcing of a crap ton of songs in a relatively short period of time. We're half way though and I've learned one thing. I've learned how easy it is to repeat something you've already done. This one sounds a LOT like…
I will have to disagree with the commenter below me -- I dig the vocals as they are in this one. Choice lead break, dude! Yeah, I'm into this, and appreciate the mix down and mastering job as is -- Rock on!
Slick and cool, gorgeous and haunting -- an excellent composition. Colorful (many shades of blue), bittersweet, interesting texture. An all around fabulous job -- Rock on!
Gene Eric Mann was kind enough to do noise removal for me. The hiss is all gone, which is awesome! The resulting track has an interesting ethereal quality. This might end up being rerecorded at some point, but this is an amazing improvement!
Re-check your e-mail -- there's yet another mix down of this song, with extra rhythm guitar, lead, bass, and BG vocals. I had fun adding myself to your very cool song. You ROCK. Rock on!
This is the rerecording of "I Lose Control." The first recording was using my computer's internal mic, just to get it down. I didn't want to wait until I got home, so I got a cheap $10 mic at a pawn shop with an adapter and ran it straight in…

I've downloaded the file and have already removed the floor noise -- no problem. But I also discovered what is called "over peaking" in the file, and I'll fix that as well. I also noted that your file is mono, rather than in stereo. I'm going to fix that too, plus add some reverb. I'll send you the results shortly and I may also take you up on the invite to add tracks to a 2nd mix down of the file. Meanwhile, Keep on Rockin' in the Free World.

Gorgeous and sweet.
I dig your last 5 postings, but this one especially entertained me.
Amazing! Excellent job. You ROCK -- Rock on!
For a live recording, this came off especially fine -- really, a great job, y'all!
Of course you know I like it. but I do so hope others will enjoy our collaboration as well. It's a pretty song, nice lyrics, well sung.
VERY GROOVY, VERY COOL! Nice poetry, vocals, musical arrangement, and mix down/mastering job. Quite entertaining.

Some really nice things strung together here, with some great flavor, interesting colors, pleasant textures.
Enjoyed it. Nice mixing and mastering job. Good songwriting. Rock on!
Woks for me. A fine compilation, very intriguing.
I really got into this. You've strung together some great sounds and mixed and mastered them quite professionally -- great job.
Nice... and somewhat eerie-ish in places! A good compilation of sound. I got into it.
