Classical meets jazz... comments?

Hi,

I came up with this tune and recorded it over the past several days. It's kind of a blend of classical and jazz. I'm wondering what you guys think about the arangement, harmonies, and drums, as well as the mix, sounds, etc.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks, djui5. I'm going to add flute and bass clarinet--hopefully this weekend. I'll work on the verb too and give you an update if I've got anything.

Excellent stuff... I like the mix dry although you certainly could spice it up.

Cool!

I wonder: real drum(mer)? Drums sound a bit stiff, esp. in the breaks - each snare hit sounds identical to the last, so I assume it's either canned drums, or edited/quantized... I think having a bit looser hat, and dynamic snare/kit could substantially give the tune some "vibe", but only if it's live drums - all bets are off for canned - IME, I could never program/edit emotion into sequenced tracks

Cool ideas, tho: I dig disonnance/rhythmic stuff with acoustic instruments, so bass clarinet, and flute might soften out the "stark" nature of the glock as well.

good luck,

Hey, thanks for the comments...

For this tune, I had some drum samples (kick, snare, high hat, and crash) that I copied and pasted in. It's not quite as nice as having a real drummer, but I decided to add it as I was writing the song.

The high hat tip is nice, as well as the reverb tip. I'll give an update when I get the rest of the overdubs done!!

Great song Wallace!

Reminds me of the 1968 party we had me and the guys in a garden out side London.
