"Medication"

https://www.dropbox.com/s/zdxdah6ub9thk2d/MEDICATION.caustic

Dropbox file posted here rather than embedded as it's 8.2MB

The title was a toss up between Meditation and Medication and I eventually chose the latter.

5 racks;

FM Synth

Organ

Modular

PCM

Beatbox

Some of it was recorded with the keyboard (mainly the Organ and Guitar/PCM)

If anyone wants to play around with it or use it please feel free smiley

*I'm not great with music theory but I think it drifts between major and minor in a way that I quite like, the FM synth pattern that repeats throughout seems to compliment the variations*

I think danjdob is actually showing us he forgot to take his medication, he is seeing clowns.

Ok... that was the one Friday joke for me.

Is that Jason speak for, 'I

Is that Jason speak for, 'I don't like it but don't want to be rude'? wink

Given the rate that I'm getting things out there I'm sure my ratio between hits and misses is cutting it fine, and like I've said before I really do want criticism/advice/suggestions/feedback smiley

Hahaha, I don't "secretly"

Hahaha, I don't "secretly" say if anything sucks, and sugar-coat it.  I'm straight up to say what I think of it.  LOL.... haahaha.  I was saying it was interesting, because I was trying to connect what I was hearing to your title.

You done good son cool

The Organ made me think of

The Organ made me think of Church and then religious music in general and a lot of religious music is pretty meditative but "Meditation" was too straight to use as a title..hence "Medication" smiley

I think I played a little word association game with myself wink

would love to hear what you

would love to hear what you do with it smiley

And yes, the keyboard is helping expand my tonal/melodic range a little, I rarely used chords in my compositions until now. That and the combination of live recording in C3 have really helped smiley
