Top-notch production on this submission, and cleverly hides that it's later going to be a metal piece with a really good classical intro which shows firm command of both genres and the ability to combine stuff.

Super pleased with this one.

I can feel the high production quality on this right away, the atmospheric sound effects were right on point.  Good koto drumming, the melody makes me think of a Civilization game by Sid Meier loading up at the start process.  Or maybe Total War Rome just as the armies start moving but haven't come into contact yet.  Very similar vibe to that.

Loved it overall.  Gave you an itch follow, if you like the thing(s) on my page(s), consider doing the same.

Nice disciplined track.  The sections are logically proceeding and build the way something like this is supposed to.  Cool ambience to the piece and the only thing is it's a little minimal but i'm known for being the wild one all the time so take that with a grain of salt.

Glad I gave this submission a shot.

Cheers

you have to remember the Alan Parsons original A Turn Of A Friendly Card (in 2 parts) is about Vegas gambling addiction and they were kind of leaning toward getting more Christian about that time so some moral messaging in their songs, was more prominent very close to the end of their more famous work around '85 with Ammonia Avenue

Glad you gave it a listen.

Glad you gave it a go!  the original by Alan Parsons carries a little of this medievality into it so i decided to stay in the general zip code.

Theme response:

It's jumping the shark a little because it's a deliberate variation of an Alan Parsons piece which is -about- gambling but brings a little Lewis Carroll into it by matching similar sounding words turn of a friendly card -> camelopard as if someone were doing a Weird Al Yankovic of it.

Glad you gave it a shot though!

A number of my kind of B-side things have this attribute where i will not listen flat out to the beginning of my things

BUT: if i have my cheesy Ruizu player and im on a long car trip i will be on shuffle.

- thing that i dont like the beginning of (by now there must be about 4 dozen) gets half listened to driving

- 2/3 of the way through i realize i absolutely crushed it the last 90 seconds

Obsolete Assumptions

Axis of Prestige

probably a bunch more

I feel my whole kind of mission is to thought-provoke if I'm never making Taylor Swift money.

a) it feels better to combat like repetitive stuff

b) if i ever do break out all the way into nano influencer then having them all be Interesting is Quite a Cachet tee hee

That's kind of the struggle-bus-on-purpose strategy

Glad you gave it a listen.

my manual percussion tapping with the synth keys is quite often not that good and then i get control 2/3 of the way seems....common as a situation.  And i like i said to the other folks i got rescued by an opportune rando choice with the Global effect over the whole glob-mp3 after it was no longer a MIDI

glad you had a good time with it!

What i think also is that I got very very lucky with the global FX over the whole piece through Mixcraft as the last overlay with only a few minutes left to submit.  The non-murky sharp v1 of this it was obvious some beats were off beat and when you striate it (?) it causes the delayed echo decoy things to be on-the-beat in v2 (final).  Which weirdly Fixed It and saved my butt.

new vocal out! the 51st vocal track:

https://soundcloud.com/doug-stoothoff/every-given-moment-chnospinci

The Roland FA-08 is pretty much a full concert-level professional synth cost me about $1,600 at the time in 2019,  It's got built in sequencing and the full range of dial tweaking.  Enough menus in there that it would take like ten years to exhaust it, or longer.  I have been learning some of the undocumented things about it (which dwarf the thin little printed manual that came with it, Grok had to clue me into the fact that i could save about half the dial settings to the -song- slot and not have to save a different studio-set of 16 instruments, and even that took me until 2 months ago to find out that was true...that's just -one- story)  after I export off the FA-08 Mixcraft 10.6 Pro Studio has another whole layer of control once the WAV and the midi are on the laptop.

As to getting lucky and being not murky : I make wrong headed moves like 60% the time lol, I juggle the day-job so what polish happens is either on accident or I got more time than I normally do.

Glad you had a fun time with it!

in A Barnstormer In Oz there is a mysterious civilization which vanished about ten thousand years before the present era which resulted in the status quo where the Land of Oz is being slowly eaten by the "firefox" entities which dry up the surrounding desert.

(These same entities are what cause inanimate objects to be sentient, and also sub-sapient species also to be sentient like talking birds, in Oz...)

Anyway they come upon a factory which turns out these dolls which give a hint as to what these creatures (aliens?) looked like and they are a dead ringer for Blogo, one of their companions.  Except for lacking arms.  The dolls come out every sixty seconds or so and fall off a cliff into a surrounding river, and eerily the factory has been intact the whole distance of millennia.

Glad you liked the piece.

Cheers!

If I could be said to partially have a mission statement of my work it's to deliver precisely this.

(working my day job whether i keep things on the rails goes up and down with my energy level, the top 3% is nearly B-level musician but the worse ones can be blah...)

Some cerebral stuff to counter the hip-hop and the rap and when techno or house gets too formulaic and repetitive.

Glad you gave it a go!

yeah the mastering isn't perfect I was rushed for time a bit :)

tried to spice it in a global way on the quick and dirty so i got tagged by some flaws

when you use an overall-effect sometimes it augments everywhere but theres 3 seconds somewhere that you need to go fill a pothole or 2

glad you had a good go of it though

I sort of did this with playtalons the uncommon lover for dwarf fortress for a jam where i only recorded a dwarf's death scream because it's inspired by the 2008-era opening of the game in the 40d version.  The aauuagh was the only vocal but copy pasted at different pitch transposes

Glad you had a good time of it!

The timing on the core instruments is a little tighter than some of my other things I tried to make it sound almost quantized for that.

the fifth-interval pads are admittedly a bit of a cheat they're the one directly non-ASM code part of the piece but it needed some somber sense of progression

Thank you, I try to look for cheeky solutions where the structure of the thing is some reflexive puzzle of what the prompt is (at least every half dozen or so jams).  I don't always get that meta but when it hits it really slaps as a presentation.
