i'm still struggling with the end.....but it's getting close>
comments not necessary but always welcome.....
Message 3/76 25-Sep-04 @ 04:05 AM - RE: mcc> vs. nisha
I think maybe some those cymbals could go for a tad bit of good ol' verb (only
some, I def. like the effect it gives on certain hits w/o reverb). Other than that I
totally dig the beat, and it sure is a pretty song.

her cd is quite good....let me know if you're interested.
they're going for 8 + postage.
as for the welder remix....this one has taken me a week of evenings and the end is still unfinished>> but easily worth a listen.
i just love his initial melody and the synth-sound he gave me to work with.
we've been arguing as to when a remix is a joint songwriting effort and when it is not....and i say even though i added several parts to his piece it is still HIS song
since his initial vibe and melody basically determined the soul of the piece.
just as if someone took and added a ton of synths and beats and lead-guitars to dylan's
"a hard rain's gonna fall"...it would still be a bob dylan song.
that said...this is ragnarok's latest melodic idea and song...and it's a beauty..
plus he gave me 2 very tasty drum bits to start with. i added a low conga pattern and the bright-hats and the beat at the end.
the end needs some reworking for purposes of clarification and drama.
enjoy.
Message 5/76 26-Sep-04 @ 01:38 AM - RE: mcc> vs. nisha
looked on both yours and welder's pages and come up empty. Am I overlooking
something..?
Anyways, lemme know where it's and I will surely give it a listen--!

i'm just about wrapping up the final mix (i hope)....so give me til around 9:30 tonite.
i think it sounds pretty good...rags' theme is just hypnotic.
i've always liked his stuff but this one is probably my fave.
needless to say....i've really enjoyed working on this track.
thanks for your interest!
Message 7/76 26-Sep-04 @ 05:04 AM - RE: mcc> vs. nisha
it's not done though.
i still need to push that ending.
Message 8/76 27-Sep-04 @ 05:53 AM - RE: mcc> vs. nisha
Oh yes, this is def. worth the listen. I picked up a pair of KRK's today src='images/ok.gif'>, so I can really hear songs now! This is really beautiful. Oh
man, yes....! That percussive bass that comes in is brilliant!
I like how every sound has it's place in the mix and each one fits with the next.
The ending is always tricky, no? That and the beginning (for me at least).
You got my vote when it's done for sure!

Message 10/76 27-Sep-04 @ 12:51 PM - RE: mcc> vs. nisha
thing is, i dont think you appreciate the ludicrous characters in some titles or user names - you can either:
1. strip it all out and just use a random filename (which we do) that removes un-streamable & un-downloadable filenames so they will all play - before we did this the filenames being added were ludicrous and over half of them wouldnt play
2. then you arrive at issue 2 - what if the user hasnt encoded a title with the mp3 they upload? - if it's in the player running, (and that covers various media players) & there's no title, you might not remember which track you clicked on and which one you're listening too if you are listening and browsing at the same time
3. so we added the title-add bit to the code to try and assist this issue for at least most of the users media players, but that has to be parsable because it's not a title written into the file at source.
we went for the one that has the most chance of allowing the file to work/stream/download AND to display a title (without forcing the user to use some browser-based embeded player, and without insisting the user embeds a title in the file at source.)

you didn't get much credit on the sleeve. how come you don't have your picture in there. complying to the faceless techno producer edict ? ;p
as for the welder track, will wait for the full cd, i love aural surprises
Message 12/76 27-Sep-04 @ 04:51 PM - RE: mcc> vs. nisha
1. mike...you're all right...man!
this place could use a few more of you.
2. rags...thanks for the wonderful melody and your steady friendship.
(when rags gave me this piece..he called it "a tiny little idea"
which i might be able to do something with.)
ya gotta love the guy.
3. k...always big thanks to you and zazza for your undying efforts to keep dt / 7161 going big and strong. in my undying efforts to do the same....in my own way.....
i'm always aware of the energy and resources required to do so....which is why you'll never find me in the prone position here.
it is my firm belief that what we do here is important.
the simple fact that you've given others a format & environment for doing so
puts you (as i've said before).....on my heroes top-ten list.
you came before others...and you're still here kicking.
my eternal thanks.
4. nutonium......i'm glad you've ended up enjoying the cd.
i'm given credit but just no pictures.
she regularly suggests we start working again....
problem being her limited availability.
i have one commitment, besides to my survival and to being intact for my family
(if and when they need me)......
and that is to the music....and so it shall be.
ain't life grand?
again...thanks everyone for listening and for your support.
Message 13/76 27-Sep-04 @ 05:55 PM - RE: mcc> vs. nisha
not feelin the vocals at all. a couple points where her voice sounded a bit off to me
Message 14/76 28-Sep-04 @ 01:11 AM - RE: mcc> vs. nisha
yeah...she does this weird little layered harmonic at the beginning which can feel a bit strange. and then there's the basic level of angst throughout..especially in the chorus phrase.
i've often got into this...especially with women in my life who've wanted to find some fault...but it's always my understanding that you can't appropriately express pain without evidencing some in your voice.
and then again...some things simply take time to absorb.
i had one girl singer who sang this line:
why don't you love me?!!!?!??
why DON'T YOU LOVE ME!!??!?!!!!?!?!
and it was PAINFUL...it felt painful...it sounded painful... but to me.....it sounded SO PERFECT. i mean...when ya got someone on their knees and make-up's running down their face and mouth contorted and crying why don't you FUCKING love me?!?!?!?!?!
d'you think they should be in tune?
of course my girlfriend at the time said i was totally wrong...and of course i agreed (not) and went about doing what i do.
speaking of WRONG.
i have a sort of cool fucked-up dreamy wrong-ish remix i did of a steb sly drum-beat/song (electric boogaloo 2001)....which he gave me permission to use.
needs work in a couple sections but he seems to like it.
he's canadian so i don't know if he can be trusted.
but.....just something different.
Message 15/76 28-Sep-04 @ 03:24 AM - RE: mcc> vs. nisha
and yeah..it was more the intro vocals that caught me
and..to be honest...the topic feels a bit tired to me.
I otta give it another listen though, just because first and second listens are quite often not enough
Message 16/76 28-Sep-04 @ 05:34 AM - RE: mcc> vs. nisha
then again...it's just a girl singing a song.
enjoy it if you can but don't force yourself.
not all of us can like the same cup of tea and not all of us like that same cup of tea all the time....just as well.
but thanks for your comments and listens influx.
they're much appreciated.
Message 17/76 28-Sep-04 @ 06:12 AM - RE: mcc> vs. nisha
i wrote 90% of the lyrics of step into my world.
not that you don't find guys also crying and moaning about loss and betrayal and heartache and those fun things.....
but i think i boys and girls often write different sort of songs.
i think girls mostly want to write about their feelings and emotions and relationships....and boys want to sing about the larger world around them.
not always....but i think there is this tendency.

everything i do becomes an aif file at some point.
normally...i try to remember to lose the file-type tag once it becomes an mp3
but i guess i forgot to do so this time.
but the uploaded file is indeed an mp3.
so no worries there.
good looking out.

this is the original moonmercury2 mix done in....ummm...95...so there's not really any going back and fixing things....though i've tried to remaster some of the overwhelming boom out of the low-end which proved overwhelming
on better stereos.
it's a nostalgic sort of piece...kind of like hollywood movie-orchestra meets an 808.
it felt pretty old-fashioned when we recorded it.
unsurprisingly...it still does even now.
: )
try to enjoy.
thanks.

occasionally at least.
you could say i'm maladjusted but i prefer to think of it as being plain simple.
now if only the IRS would leave me alone.
influx...if you go to michael moore.com.....he has a page dedicated to the facts and assertions made in the movie.
and well...as you know this isn't all just about the facts...it really does come down to what's iltimately right and wrong...and the simple fact is i hate liars.

it's funny....
i've seen guys look like they were about to fall when i'd tell them.
i'm glad i don't look like george tenet.
i saw a picture of tony alva yesterday...the legendary skateboarder....
he's 47...he looked good.
i think a lot of it has to do with attitude.
you wanna be a cop. you gonna look like a cop.
you wanna be rebel.
look rebel. polite rebel but rebel....and always got paint or cement on me.
i'm working folk and that's how i vote.
i've noticed your more sympathetic outlook this last year....which is good.
reality and the race equation....it will always be a factor.
it works against people of africa so why not here where the differences are even more marked?
and intra-tribal war is just another aspect of that whole picture.
it all comes down to greed and jealousy.....and inability to reason....
plus the fact that it's probably the easiest outward difference the smart one's behind the tv-screen can mainpulate to their own ends.
and then you get tupac flashing thousands of bucks in front of tv ca,eras about having made it...laughing laughing

mcc> got a new track uploaded for all da fine homies and non-hippies and da kine bruvas who be diggin da sort of shit i do occasionally.
thanks to all of you who bother to listen..
this one's for my cat biki (girl-biko) who passed away a few months ago.
i was working a remix of see you tomorrow as she was struggling through her final 2 days of her 16 years she spent as my resident housecat (roofcat actually).
this is one of those tracks that changed faces a dozen times before it took this form.
this version is much slower than the original...taking on slightly african undertones....which brings us back to biki.
the version she was hearing on her way out was pretty sad but she wouldn't have wanted that.
no....not biki....
she was queen of the roof.

she may actually require a feel-up though....so your willingness in that department would come in...errr...handy.
