Keep Music Evil!

Experiment with the four track. Any opinions (good or bad) are very welcome. Prize for the first person to guess what I ripped off - should be familiar to anyone on here.

Cheers.

I don't know what you have ripped off, the bass sounds great, classic tone. good stuff man, you got anything else out?

Hmmm... that title sounds "vaguely familiar"...I wonder what maniac inspired...anyway, I like the vibe...you need some connective tissue to drive the whole thing, but other wise...great direction...how dare you deprive us of a vocal track? do you think you are the happeh moaN-days returning from 'oliday in barbados?

This really is a work in progress. Basically a bassline I was fond of supported by some pretty haphazzard rhythm guitar.

Rowed Out - Huntley Like the Wolf was one of many titles thrown about in relation to a rather ill-conceived idea for a musical about Ian Huntley. Other titles included If You Don't Know Huntley by Now, Just Like Huntley and the Dirty Dancing pastiche, Huntley Eyes. As for On the Good Ship Lollipop, well I thought it was an original idea but youtube search results suggest evidence to the contrary. Glad you liked it though. I'll get working on some vocals.

Thanks for the encouragement chaps.

Oi, correct me if me wrong, but "Huntley like the Wolf" was the title I suggested on the old forum; you asked if you could "steal" it, and I said "by all means, go right ahead"...after all, the whole idea was yours, an "opera" or some such about this serial killer...Serial killers are fascinating. They have a certain logic to their entire project, and that is what makes them so scary. "I am going to kill you, and here are the reasons for doing so, and so on"...I have recently been addicted to "Dexter," an American serial killer who is a forensic splatter expert working for the Miami Police; he only kills those who have killed the "innocent," whatever that might be. Ultimately, the show is a failure due to its unremitting sentimentalism, a failing of archetypically American proportions. Americans think and believe that they "feel" things....This belief keeps them from feeling things.

In any case, the music is so in the right direction, that, with the improvements that any amount of time and expertise, from others or experimentation, it could make itself sublime. They key is EDITING... strip it down to the essential, then build as if the essential was all that mattered. And make it groooooovie baby, yeah (well, it already is).

You might be right about the title. I seem to remember someone else suggesting a Bowie tribute - Huntley I'm Only Dancing.

Anyway, couldn't agree with you more re writing. Thanks again.

I remember the Huntly related opera thread!!

Alas! The tyranny of memory. NO!! I believe that I am mistaken! I just can't remember it clearly, but now I recall that "Huntley Like the Wolf" was yours and I suggested "John I'm Huntley Dancing" (!). What's interesting to me is that I wanted to remember it that way. and double shock.

I am completely consumed by (thinking about) the functions of memory and time. Like, how could I "go back" to Carnaby Street if I was never there? My "memory" of it is in pop culture. And I transmute it, transfigure it as if it were my own. But, even in relation to "places" I remember, all my life, where I "actually was," there is something that says "I was never there."

Hence the ill-will toward time and all that passes. Triumph over that spirit of revenge, says Z.
