Notes

Happy Monday! I woke up early this morning and had the urge to make some music, so I ended up creating this simple piece. It's a pretty minimal piano-vocal track. I used the "resonator vocal" technique for a while in the middle. It's done by singing with your lips pursed in a specific way that resonates inside your mouth, making it sound more like an instrument of some sort.

The musical component is mainly a drone on major tonalities in the key of E, but there are a couple sections that go to the relative minor (C#.) I recorded some soft vocal tapping for subtle percussion and used some free domain ocean sounds for ambience. I experimented with automating some ringshifter on both of those tracks, which is the high-pitched whine you hear periodically through the song and at the end.

Not much else to say here! Just a simple, chill track to help combat the melancholy of Mondays. As usual, it was recorded in A = 432 hz using my Yamaha Montage and Blue Snowflake microphone in Garageband. Oh yeah, and there's some stereo delay added to all the tracks. The tempo is 108 bpm. Feel free to download if you'd like from either @dsound or Soundcloud. Enjoy and have an awesome day!

Refreshing and soothing music @d-pend.

hmm @geekorner would say your imagery is faulty ... what is it now soothing or refreshing ...

You can feel refreshed after a soothing experience.

after ... but ok kitteh ...

Hmmm maybe there is a black dude hiding somewhere in your soul ... not in the chorus but the over dubs in the beginning ;) and long live walruses and pumpkin transcendence ;)

That does sound like a journey from far away. The funky little breakdown 3/4s the way through is perfect too.

Bravo!

I just came back from school tired and I decided to check my steemit account, then I stumbled upon this and guess what @d-pend? it made me sleep. I didn't even know when it finished

o_O and this is a compliment ?

Oh yes, just listened to this after subbing noisy 2nd graders today. Thank you and I'm thinking I need this piped straight into the classroom to soothe the students. :)

Really pretty - a little like James Blake, but with the warmth turned way up. As ethereal as your poetry, too. In fact, I sensed from this almost exactly what I did when reading one of your latests, Days For Sipping. Both put me in such a tranquil state :)

A sweet sigh, Daniel, that doubles up as a kind of world wail (to my imagination)—tender resignation, alternating with longing. Reminds me, somehow, of Dead Can Dance. Peace 🙏🏼

The music flows right down the waterflow @d-pend. I'm glad to get a chance to hear this. I like playing the piano and guitar. I don't like mixing tracks or recording. I just like playing for fun. I like the end of this piece the most where it goes into a kind of jazz piano and gets colorful around 2:24-2:30.

Oh.. you get genius points today.

The US does not feel the need to rest after a busy day contest played out in the work, what his rights in his life of the power of the summons to rest, and spend hours of entertainment for the renewal of the human spirit and sent the energies of the new to do further work; life's obligations and responsibilities are not being implemented and not ending, in the morning of each day marking the beginning of a day full of business opportunities, and even recognize the importance of leisure and renewal of energy should be to know the positives of leisure for self-defense in life and work

The United States spends time on entertainment to revitalize the humanistic spirit. The law works during the day's competition. The rest of the telephone power, the remaining power, and new energy do new work. Recognizing the importance of everyday tomorrow, recognizing the renewal of leisure and energy, informing the beginning of business opportunities, the responsibilities and duties of daily life have not yet been completed, it has not yet been completed, promoted the life and work

This is great and good leisure creates happiness and bring emotional comfort

It's better when we can hear your voice.
