LightRevolution6(Love)-A Mini Rondo Opera

Ok here is one of my more experimental tracks, called Light Revolution 6 (Love), basicly I think it is an electronic Rondo, which is a classical form.  It's fast at 150bpm and really its a classical Rondo mini opera.  Including a little bit of badly sung opera by me.
 
The song was written in around 2001 and I have quite a few versions, this was one of the final mixes I did, I have then mastered it in the last couple of days.

There were a few problems with the mix, one being a few pops/clicks, I have gone in with the severe ones and cut them, then I have basicly made them invisable, you can hear them if you listen hard.
 
I also had to slightly remix the track, this was done with the muliband compressor, once these things were fixed, I used my TL Audio A2 mastering compressor.
 
Lyrics:
 
Lord Hash, Lord Hash
 
Have you seen my German Strumpet,
Good in bed and gives good crumpet,
Have you seen my sister Mary
****'s the boys down the dairy,
Don't fight you can share me,
I'm so very horny hairy.
 
As you can see it is part German ompha music as well.
 
Enjoy Peace Ben

Interesting.

I can see the hard work that went into it and it sounds good. To weird for me though. Definitly something to listen to when your high on weed.

Well done!

A bit repititious but made me listen.  I'm looking over my shoulder for "haints". :-)

Bub you're not going to believe this but that vocal was recorded flat into a $150 Audio Technica microphone with a $90 Behringer preamp and it wasn't even balanced.  I had to step back from the microphone about 5feet just to stop the vocal distorting, not cliping distorting.

You must have a heck of a room then because man, your vocals always come out great.

I need to do some real room treatment, but I don't have the money for it right now.

I listened. It was different.

Bub your going to hate me even more, the room had virtually no treatment, in one part of the room I had a sheet on the roof the other part was double the height of a normal room, I had a sheet on one of the walls and nothing on the floor.
 
When and this is not an ego statement but when you can sing as well as I can, its easy to get a good sound.  I don't know if I could hit those notes again, as we get older our voice changes.

That's amazing that you got that sound with no treatment and that setup. You do have one of those voices that you just can't get a bad recording of. I have an extremely limited range, and unfortunately, I hate the sound of my voice when I force myself to sing in my range. That's why the stuff I release sounds like I'm straining, because I am, but if I sing in my natural key I think my voice sounds boomy and it's actually very hard to get a decent recording of a voice that accents the 300Hz and lower range.

I hope you have been alright, I have been (and I am not ****ting you) a little worried you haven't been contributing to the forum (unless you are in some sector that I don't bother with) as much as you normally do.  I hope the job situation has got better for you mate, I know it's pretty bad over there in the states.

Thanks man.

To be honest, I had to force myself to turn on my DAW for the first time in over a month this week. I got three more weeks of help from the state for my job situation then I start waving my life savings goodbye, and to be honest, I've been paralyzed with fear and haven't been able to do much. Merry ****ing Christmas eh?. LOL Then my wife started picking up at work, which is good, but she's been traveling again and I've just been sitting here by myself staring at the freaking walls 24 hours a day. She's been gone since last Monday and won't be home until next Friday. Then she'll be gone again right after Thanksgiving and won't be back until just before Christmas. But enough complaining. There's a hell of a lot of people out there who have it far worse than I do. Like the fat guy says, "Chins up." LOL!

Peace and thanks for all of your kind words about my tunes, you don't how much I appreciate it esp when you get a bit hard on yourself.

Your welcome. I like all of your music. It's different than the cookie cutter stuff and it's just great music, plus it's recorded and mastered to perfection IMO. When I Was Born and The Punk Song are turning out to be two of my all time favorite songs. If they still made 45's you would have a double A side hit record on your hands with those two.

Thanks for thinking of me, it feels really good to know someone, somewhere out there in the world cares.

Hey, Ben,


This is a very unique and cool bit of electronic opera, with a nice clean and wide, modern sounding mix!


Very fresh and pro sounding stuff, dynamite work!

Have a good one!
