Dark and Evil..nah..a little bit eerie though :)

[Wyatt]

My friend Oren asked me if I have anything Dark and Evil to post..I got a chuckle over that..since I usually am sound-hunting for certain rare strains of beautiful.

Funny thing about it..a while later I remembered this piece..with the eerie voices to go with an eerie poem. You wouldn't believe what I made the voices and wind out of.

The heartbeat is me tapping a finger on the soundboard of my acoustic guitar, high tech, eh?

My friend Dave is quite a good poet..I got an email from him a couple months ago, and there was a poem in it..this is what I sent back to him..he wasn't expecting this, I think it surprised him..I wanted him to hear what it could become..

The background wind and swirling voices I made from 2 different harmonica tracks of mine, tracks already in inventory.

I just did it for a lark, and the creative challenge, and this is, I think, the only piece I have ever done using someone else's lyric.

Ladies and Gents,

Help me welcome Wyatt -  sailor, carpenter, plumber, poet, and one of the most innovative strat players ever to draw a breath. All the way from Oklahoma.


Things at Kara-Moon have just shifted irrevocably...normal just won't cut it any more....

Coming from you Oren..always considered a compliment.

So just for you..the secret:

Hang onto your hat..

The wind sound is made out of a recording of me playing Canon in D on harmonica..
..that is mixed with the swirly voices, which I made from a recording of me playing JSBach on harmonica..I kid you not..genre: "wonder what would happen if.."

I figured you deserved to get this, because if you hadn't reminded me, well, I had already forgotten about this little late-night madness.

Thank you for the kind words, and thank you for taking the time to listen.

When I first read the poem, I got this wierd idea to try using some very un-scarey music..can I make it sound like wind? ..can I make it sound like eerie voices? I got lucky, and it worked.

Oh Yeah Wyatt ! it works very well
Very original track, I like experimental stuff. Very good sounding melodies.

Cheers

Thank you very much for listening, and for your kind words.

This was an inspired piece that went step by step just as well as I could have wished for..if only they all were like that

This is very cool sounding. The backing is awesome. I'm glad you explained a little about how you made it. I always like when people do that. It helps to appreciate it better I think. My only quible would be that I would high pass the vocal just a little to tame some of the boominess and help it melt into the backing a little better. Fantastic works though. Thanks for sharing it.
