caesura

Hi All,

This is my first effort composing using midi - its written on my Oxygen 8V2. and using Reaper.

Obviously its a work in progress and i still haven't a clue what i'm doing (i'm using free demo's strings- synth, piano - synth etc) but is it a little cliche?

oh and feel free to rip apart my recording/mixing efforts its the only way i'll learn what not to do ;-)

Cheers for listening and your comments - if you leave any???

Am I going mad? Is fooking thing is playing backwards??? For a second I thought it was a bit like the stuff Sean O'Hagan did with StereoLab now I'm just confused |

So what's going on here exactly? Hypnotherapy? Language Classes? Portraiture? Singy-Song-writers? Composition? What?

madtheory

Bizarre.

Thanks guys...glad to hear it's at least listen-to-able** just worried it's a bit 90s retro or something.

** or is it?? As a matter of fact some of it is reversed...Is that so strange? Gonna be honest here this is not a genre i've written in before...hypnotherapy sounds good to me though! Confused...in what way...honestly i was thinking it was over-simplistic.

Hang on here...i was worried it was a bit too bland...bizarre is a huge relief to me.

Thanks for all comments though!

Anyone got anything constructive...feel free to rip it apart (only if necc of course...i'm old enough and tough enough, i promise i won't cry ;-) Good or bad comments folks all are welcome...

I wanna learn goshdarnit!!!

Everything should be back up and running now folks ;-)

caesura

400 clicks and no tips or pointers??

So can i assume i don't need to do anything else with it? - no general tweeking or something with midi? It sounds alright mix-wise to more experienced ears?

Cheers so :cool:
