RE: Music Today Issue #9 | A SMA Community Initiative
Yay ! that's so dope ! Thanks so much for featuring me in Issue#9
Thanks @ivan.atman for taking the time to find and make us discover great artists, I can see what's happening on Open Mic nowadays, and the bar is raised every week this is incredible !
Well done to @ilazramusic , @thetroublenotes, @schamangerbert , @marysemciver !
@edprivat You did an incredible job on Sweet Sixteen, I also use reverb a lot like you said you usually do, but here in this gospel track dry vocals really did the justice, really like your style in general man ✌
Hvala puno !Yea sometimes I think I am addicted to reverb I actually always refrain myself from over reverbing the s***T out of everything! Your "Incredible Hulk" song is so dope! And your last work in Swahili is crazy, I am learning Sotho , anohter African Language, I am very impressed with your eagerness to learn too!
@edprivat Same here, reverb is its own instrument for me, and I put less and less of it to create more headroom when I produce, but I still put a lot compared to standards :) I wish to make a grand tour around Africa, especially Mali and the Ethiopia, Uganda, Kenya region. I'm in love with polyrhythm and various traditional instruments like Kora, Balafon and Ibo, I made this track 2 years ago as a rendition to the Malinese music
Is Sotho spoken in your region?
It's my wife's language (and our children) , it's from the kingdom of Lesotho but you can find variation of it throughout southern Africa, like Tswana in Botswana,
What an amazing music you did, I was trying to count at the beginning is it a 10/8 (rhythm) ?
@edprivat Start is actually 4/4 or 8/8 (kinda the same thing) there is a poly-rhythmic part where it is (4/4 crossed with 5/4) :) seems odd beat in some other places but it is just because of the arrangement, how are things down there in RSA and Lesotho?
I just got confused counting the poly-rhythmic part of the song (never counted it actually) and I updated the above comment three times already 😆 it seems that it is a cross between the 4/4 and 7/16, because the guitar is in odd beat and it doesn't sit with anything else but 7/16
Hahah I got lost on it for a while bruh, I counted it as a 9.5/8 the first time around!
Things are good here in Johannesburg, South Africa, but we wouldn't mind leaving off a piece of land on the coast in few years.
Where are you planning to do your tour?
I'm glad to hear things are well down there, some people told me it can get hard for them to leave their properties in the rural zone due to local gangster activity. I actually meant to do a tour in Africa like a journey not a band tour :) but touring as a band I will do that in the western europe and in the US in the future, now I have other goals more important, but I still record music
