Ianuarius - The Door

That was mysterious but really good, like you said a bit different. Refreshing to hear something unusual. Perhaps movie music?

On September 29, 2017 Mr. Ed Kokol (Bapu) (aka "Just Another Bloke" & BeyondmyDaw.com) soiled yet another thread of mine -- this time the thread featuring my song "Stories To Tell".  At that time, after practically begging him to leave me alone I finally posted my thoughts on his musical abilities, such as they are. (I don't post in his threads or usually not in those of his jesters.) To whit:
 
Mr. Ed!   
 
I'm posting this in the last post I made so as not to bump up the thread.  I have no interest in you Mr. Ed other than keeping you out of my threads.
 
I don't comment in your threads and up until now I've never commented on your abilities.  But since you keep pushing me so hey, let's play:  
 
1)  Your bass playing is banal.  I'm not a bass player per se but my lines are more interesting than yours. You're average at best. When I first heard your playing I could tell that you don't think like a bassist. (Case in point:  the recent song "Believe" by smallstonesfan in which you played bass.  The bass adds nothing  -- the tone sounds like wood blocks and there is absolutely no fluidity or FUNKINESS in the playing.  That song cries out for funk and you deliver nothing.).  (You wouldn't stand a chance as a session musician here in nyc or Nashville -- in fact, the thought is laughable).  In your hands ALEMBIC=ANEMIC;
 
2)  Your singing sounds like every geezer who has tried to sing rock or pop but can't.  Barely in tune with a croaking overlay (even with your lathering on of autotune).  No range, unpleasant tone and very little phrasing ability --  a bad voice. Below average at best.  (I've made a living singing standards & top40 in hotels, lounges, etc. for years (playing guitar & piano.) so I have some critical judgment on this.
 
3)  Your songs are unmelodic and average.  Your lyrics never make use of metaphor, inner rhyme or anything that is beyond the ability of a kid learning to write and play guitar.  Same with your melodies.  Average at the very best.
 
4)  Do you honestly think that so many people on this forum have you play or sing on their music because you're the best for the job?  Of course not.  People who've been around for a bit quickly realize that you and your CH buds pretty much control the songs (and CH) forums by virtue of constant posting.  If someone -- like me -- fails to kiss up to you (to get your obligatory Noice! comment -- big deal) then they're not on the team.  Once on the team -- like getting you to plunk some low notes for them -- they're assured that they'll receive good comments and lots of views from you, your buds and most of the newbies who quickly get the gist.
 
I've asked you many times to stay out of my threads.  You refuse.  I only post in threads where there is something I like.  I don't post snark.  
 
Okay, I'm sick of punching down...
 
ON A LATER NOTE:  Not one person -- not even Dymme, Steryl69, Synkophant  or F'ing -- came to the defense of Mr. Ed -- no one called me out on this post & not one person argued that Mr. Ed was misrepresented in this post.

Mysterious, unsettled and quest in places, where do you get this stuff from. Mix sounds cool, more work on the drums would help out.
Thanks wook
 
I'm pretty sure I didn't type 'quest' and typed 'queasy'. But it was late!

Thank you Gus, mysterious, unsettled a quest yes you could be right.  
 
Where does it come from? Good question, I wish I knew.

Thank you Kakku, mysterious thank you, movie music more a prelude of more to come?

I don't know but it was good to listen to.

My thanks Tom for taking the time to listen and comment.

Nice wookie'n around.   I liked how this works as a sound track especially at 1:55 ... those keys sound great. I would have let that theme play out a bit longer before turning the tables .... ( perhaps it returns? ) ... Yes it does come back but in both places I would have capitalized on it for a bit.... Great stuff.

Certainly a different one for you!  A bit cinematic-ish but not overly orchestral so would probably work well against a suitably unsettled video clip.   It has a lot of depth which I really like. 

I like this John. Would make a good soundtrack for Brothers Quay animation.

Thank you James I can see your connection with the Brothers Quay, I suppose it is a sort of prelude to something. 
 
Than you Larry glad you found it to be a good track, nice to see you back. 

Thanks Jesse for the listen, all synths, Arturia's Solina V and CS 80 V on vox plus a couple of other toys.  Dark and going places was the intent.

Sorry it took a while to come and listen - great composition Wookster - this would take patience I'm afraid I just don't have.
I really like the dirty synth sounds with the slightly off tune feel mixed with the hi-fi of the arps.
Definitely movie music and deserves to be in a movie.

video music.   What verb are you using.  I like my verbs so wet, I can wash my clothes in it...  Don't tell me this is an expensive verb either.  I'll accept Valhalla...but even better if it came with Sonar...like Rematric or Breverb.
 
The percussion/verby thing gets a little old after a bit.  Maybe some tonic key changes??
love the synth stuff...

Mixmkr, thanks for the listen and comment, Breverb is the reverb on this I only use cakes stock reverb plugs and whatever the synths has have as part of their config.  I hear your point on the percussion thing but I wanted to get a sense of the relentless passage of time marching on without thought.
 
My thanks to you Freddy for taking the time to listen and comment.  As for the scenario it is the start of something new, the opening of the door into that new, do we want to go through the door into this new, hence that hesitation, but in reality we have no choice the new is forced upon us and we must accept it.  
 
As to thought, I sit in front of my keyboard and most sort of fall out of the furry paws then they take on a life of their own.  I am sure you understand that.
