Rising Moon_4 is the one that seems to work.

The mp3 encoding sent the reverb through the roof. I think it grabbed the verb I had on one of the busses too heavily. Also the tuned bongo-like sorta drums that introduce themselves at about 4:10 introduce themselves too loud in the mp3. And one sounds like it's at the wrong pitch. Also I'm realizing that if a major character of a track is an ambient hypnotic element, it looses a lot in lo-fi. Oh well  

Still after all that and without further adieu, have a listen.

Damn nice Sitar!!! Now I know why Lia sez you're an Orbital fan... ;) (I'll make sure she has a listen btw..)

Any way we can listen to a more "hi-fi" version??

Thanks Maarten. I'm usually floating around, music or no music.

Marc, cool. Thanks for listening and feedback. Tell Lia...;) not to be such a stranger. Hope she enjoys the track.

Excellent track Sitar. Love the atmosphere. Very surreal, if I can use that word here. Would LOVE a hi-fi. It's awfully long, but in now way would I make it shorter. It just works. Excellent effort man.

Thanks DefZ. Actually it is a bit long in the tooth a couple of places. Influx just pointed that out to me as well. When I listened back before posting it I was saying in a couple of places "come on voice hurry up and come in" or "come on voice finish already". I was at the edge of cringing at several places. But I simply had to stop at some point and put it up or else another week would have gone by...and Influx would have had a fit!!!

I'm going to put a couple of things in to keep it moving. If those things don't work, I'll take out several measures from 3 or 4 places which will bring it down to maybe 5 and change minutes. Will be tighter one way or the other. Thanks for bringing that up.

hey sitar...

i have to say i like this... listened right to the end, i.e it caught and held my attention. Always a good thing.

mood, good choice of sounds sounds, good rythm, excellent all round.

I'd agree with tweaking the arrangment a bit, but its 99% there.

nice work,

Niall

apt13, thanks lots. I am super encouraged by everyone. I do seem to be suffering from a bad case of the '99% theres'. A guy putting a couple of my tracks on a comp cd said exactly the same thing about one of those. Got to get it to the next level then. And then some. But thanks. This is the first actual track I've posted for you guys. And believe me, you don't know how happy you are that I waited this long :P

not too shabby for an old man!

  is that a slapstick sound in the background.. it is driving me MAD (that is prolly due to having to play slapstick in this one piece that.. well, oh nevermind.. ) 909 congas? they sound good, i wouldnt have used real ones, i dont think that is would have fit well.. it sounds really really cool.. at around 5:06 i noticed it getting a lil um.. dormant, waiting for that vocal that doesnt come in till like 5:20.. when it does though, it does some good.. i definately dig the style, althought you are missing one major thing: SUB-BASS  

yea.. some nice insanely long bass drones would be awesome, and gong hits would go splendidly, as well. i like the "noise" you bring in right at the end.. onl wish you had earlier. i liked it, it left me feeling a lil more complete, which was cool. oh yea, and i really dig the break at the beginning.. you know, at like 12 seconds

aaron

p.s. i am currentl working on a suite, so no musica from the a-man for a lil while yet, sorry guys, i have to redo it all (not up to my standards yet)

Second time I've listened to this and it still sounds great. Do you make your own samples? I mean the vocal and tabla samples. Jerry
