Clytie

Hi Peeps,
 
I've been struggling on the music creation front since the end of last year, when I released my last piece called Thank You.
 
Clytie is my most recent creation. It was originally twelve minutes long but I felt that this was much too long for what is quite a minimal piece in terms of parts and composition.
 
There is a background drone which I created by recording six separate takes from my modular synth and feeding it through various effects, including Adaptiverb.
 
Then there is a single melody line that I improvised and edited down to "just" six minutes. I like the sound in the lower register really, so it is quite a bass driven melody. I also used my modular for this part too.
 
Again, like much of my stuff, this won't be everyone's cup of tea...

Hello mate - I really like this - it has a really positive vibe.
It also has some really nice movement. It was worth the wait. I'm on my second listen while I work.

Hiya Daryl
 
Thanks! I wasn't really sure about this one and you never know until you get something out there how it is going to be received. So far, so good!
 
Thanks again for listening to my stuff
 
cheers

Hi Andy, I was hoping to hear something new from you. Been thinking about doing something a little ambient sounding myself next month (with guitars) and you do this stuff really well, good to get some inspiration. 'Clytie' is very hopeful sounding, and didn't seem anything like 6 minutes.

Lovely composition, Andy. Above my pay grade to comment on technique or anything, but I enjoyed the listen. Thanks!
 
PS: "Happy Music?" Really?

Hello Olivier
 
Thank you for taking the time to listen to Clyite. Yes, I think six minutes does work better for this one
 
I've got a twenty minute track waiting in the wings, just waiting for the right time to publish is
 
cheers

synk - if you're not writing soundtracks for movies - you should be - this is just fantastic - brought out so many images. Nice my friend.

Hiya Mark,
 
Thanks for taking the time to listen to Clytie
 
I guess in the past I had hoped for my "talent" to spotted but, at 56, I've kinda given up now, so I create stuff for myself and hope that a few others across the world also enjoy what I am doing.
 
Thanks again for your kind comments Mark, I really appreciate it
 
cheers

A little late to the party having had to rebuild the System drive of my Primary after something  happened to it.

 
Sorry to hear that Wookiee. I hope all is okay with the rebuild.
 
Thanks for listening to Clytie and I'm glad you enjoyed it. My modular was used for all the basic sounds. I do like its abilities as a lead instrument
 
cheers

I like the way this slowly evolves, allowing it to unfold into layer upon layer.  Andy, you really could be writing for Hollywood.  They might give you and Oscar by mistake

Well, all I can say is it was worth six minutes.  
 
Another nice piece, Andy.   I've always liked your style and this one is no exception.   You manage to wrangle a lot out of a minimal number of parts, and yet keep it interesting.    As mentioned above, your material seems soundtrack ready...
 
 

Thank you very much Steve
 
As always, I appreciate your time and support and I'm glad you listened to, and liked Clytie.
 
cheers

Beautiful!

Thanks so much Tony, I really appreciate you listening to my work.
 
Having just listened to your latest piece, all I can say is, "I am not worthy..."
 
 
cheers
