Lend Me Your Ears - Mysterious tune evolving...

[yrk]

Following Squirrel Havoc's excellent initiative, I figured I'd try as well...

I have no idea where this tune is headed, so let's hear your ideas and opinions...

Sounds great to me.
Except for being a bit short I don't see anything bad in this at all.

xylophone, that's a rarely used instrument. I like the atmosphere, it reminds me of a song playing in a movie, either while ventruing down a corridor of an alien ship, or capt kirk watching an alien bellydancer dance in front of him with that smarmy look on his face. It was almost surround-ish, like if I play it on my living room stereo, it would be all around me.

You know what would rock in this song? Female vocals. Doesn't have to be singing, just vocal samples, like whispering. But I know how hard it is to find stuff like that.

I say definatly keep working on it, atleast add another minute to it, and then repost and see what people think.

This sounds really good.  I don't have any specific comments about it, except for the fact that it's far too short.

Well yeah, that was kinda my point... It needs to go somewhere - all it is is basically an intro... I think... :-)

Although, I have this unexplainable urge to violate it with my guitars.

LOL... Hmm... Guitars... Could work I guess... Worth experiencing with...

Actually there is no xylophone... :-) There are some bells and stuff but I think you might be referring to the ring modulated drumtrack... It's the first time I've actually found a ring modulator useful for anything...

Edit: Ah, I see what you mean it does kinda sound like a xylophone on some setups even though it isn't really... :-)

LOL... If this ends up intrsumental I think I'll call it The Alien Bellydancer... I like that...

Yeah, there's a lot of panning going on... :-)

I like that idea... Maybe I'll try to write some lyrics for it... Also I'm thinking sort of irish-highland-enya-like vocals might work well...

I will...

Thanks for the comments everybody!
