Please let me introduce about my new track, “The Amata (Visions in the Sky)”. Amata means “Many” in Japanese, and “Eternity” in Thai language.
・・・・・・・・・・
・This track freely changes the tempo, like BPM 170 → 40 → 190 → (stacks 2 or 4) → 170 → 40.
・The main melody(4/4 rythum) is like classic music's one, but the low part(3/4 rythum) is like jazz-pop's one.
・In the latter half, this track becomes spacy, like 80's progressive hard rock・・・but I only used a piano sound. It will show you what are "visions". Raindrops, comets, clouds・・・Every image will be right.
Darn it, I missed that! Wish I'd known. Glad you liked the Podcast, hopefully my 'between song banter' shall improve once I care less about my housemates wondering who I'm talking to in my room!
Hopefully will catch you if you're down in these parts again, or if you're at any festivals this year?
I've awkwardly stepped into the world of podcasting to bring attention to good music and included 'A Briefing' on my debut podcast. Have a listen here;
Please let me take your spaces
・・・I made a new track called "A Order in Ripples".
・Finally this track reachs "Chopin meets Hard Rock", with only piano & drums.
・I used 3/4 time & 7/8 time besides 4/4 time in this track, but I tried not to be a show-off man
・・・so maybe you don't notice.
・This track starts with 170 BPM, but it slowly accelerates & finally it reachs over 220 BPM.
・This track contains two exact oppsites・・・one is very complicated but another is very simple.
・This track is very short, only 2.07 minutes.
・The name of this track briefly means its characteristic. At the end of this track, the order comes out. What's "A Order in Ripples"? You will easilly find the answer.
Maybe it rouses Bashou's famous Haiku, "Fulu-ike ya (古池や) …".
Let me know your impressions if you have time ('x')ﾉｼ
THIS TUESDAY! For fans of Velvet Underground / Suicide / Jesus & Mary Chain
