Description This is the first in a series of collaborations between Mystified and myself. I will be compiling them under the project title Lady of the Lake, not only the title of this initial lament, but also becuz The Lady is the image I have of Mystified as a singer. This first piece is short, yet I hope it stays with you a while. Please consider it a prelude. (Artwork is by the appropriately named Lancelot Speed, 1919.)

A huge thank you to Mystified, who was in lovely voice the evening she recorded this. Her performance is heartfelt, emotive, classical yet somehow raw and evocative. Her consonants (and sudden inhales) move across the soundscape like bows across strings; her vowels penetrate with timeless introspection. I am thrilled we will be doing more together.

Other collaborations with Mystified:
I Am Yours (Last Embrace Behind the Wall)

Lyrics The lyrics are in a made-up language, which is part of the concept behind all the pieces we are collaborating on. Voices from the subconscious, before words were turned into something other than emotional metaphors.

Hardware I used strings and woodwinds from my JV-1080 and Proteus 2 modules, recorded in DP 4.

Software: Mystified used GB2 to record vocals.
Mixed in GB2 and mastered in Peak 5.
Compressed using LAME.

	Very mysterious and evocative.. I await more with eager anticipation. As ever, Mystified excels with her voice. R.

TobinMueller said 1196 days ago

Very mysterious and evocative..
Thank you. This is one of those pieces in which the sounds help write the piece.
I was actually just trying to find the right layering and patch-tweaking to arrange
something else entirely, and as I auditioned different strings, I began playing
this figure. I recorded it quickly so I could get back to what I needed to be
doing, adding the double reeds later to fill it out. It fit the sadness and
overflowing compassion of the Lady of the Lake character. It's as if Mystified is
channeling something heavy and ancient as she sings, like a goddess, bringing
the true nature of the piece to light.

	Tom Atwood said 1196 days ago
	Tantalizing This brief piece certainly makes me want to hear more. There is a richness to Mystified's vocals in this that I'm not sure I have heard before. A woman of many voices, to be sure. Excellent arrangement, Tobin. Beautiful mix. 9-10-9-9

drakonis said 1196 days ago

This piece...
like love, and life... is too short! Which may be the perfect
length for it. There is beauty, longing, earthy siren-
calling, soft restlessness... very evocative, and very well
written and performed. Tobin, nice rich strong bed of
strings (I like the double-bass coming in at the very
end)... Mysti, powerful vocal performance. I look forward
to hearing more from you two! Nice "second" choice of
artwork, though I liked the first ephemeral image a little
better, richer colors, less stilted pose.

BTW, don't know if you saw this guy, another flash-in-
the-pan MacJammer has been doing "phony-cean" singing
too, check out (http://www.macjams.com/artist/Philos60)

ttfn,
Drakonis

Mystified said 1196 days ago

Thank you,
Tobin, for inviting me to sing along on this one!

After listening to this instrumental track for a few plays, it
seemed obvious the style and flavor of voice it needed.
Music like this seems to draw emotion and sound from
the voice naturally, and so by the third take, I had the
melody I thought worked for this.
As for the 'lyrics,' it was Tobin who suggested that I sing a
'made-up' language, and it worked very well! Sometimes
words simply get 'in the way.'

I'm looking forward to doing more on this project as well.

Thanks for your kind comments, Reinholt, Tom, Drak, as
well! :)

	Pie said 1196 days ago
	too short :-(

	Suzanne said 1196 days ago
	unearthly i wish i could sing like that. beautiful, haunting. you sound italian, you sing so well! tobin mentioned that he thought he heard hebrew in the lyrics, i agree, but that is the fun of it, i suspect. i always thought of the the lady of the lake as a priestess who knew a dozen langaugaes, some of them unearthly. i think you pick just the right sounds, in every way. bravo!

	perceptualvortex said 1196 days ago
	Evocative Brings me right back to the Cloisters museum, in Manhatten. Naturally, this is supremely good music here, well beyond my meager ability to analyze why I love it, except to say that it captured my aesthetic sensibilities from the start and didn't let go. Beautiful work, Tobin and Mysti.

	jgurner said 1196 days ago
	Chills... This is hauntingly beautiful and leaves me wanting more. I glad to see there will be more to come. There comes a time when the beauty of a voice goes beyond the words the words it sings. I think anything but a made up language would be a distraction. This is the comple package Mysti's voice, Tobin's music, and I love the artwork. Can't wait to hear what comes next.

	Stun Nutz said 1196 days ago
	a few words It's hard to write about this and not use words like "wonderful" or "magical" or "spellbinding" or "fantastic" or "frothing over with swirling multilayered richness", so I give up. I think i will just play it again (for the seventh time)...

	said 1196 days ago
	I definitely look forward to hearing more. A beautiful prelude. thanks to both of you for sharing

	dchapman said 1196 days ago
	Tobin, you amaze me... .... with the diversity of music you create. Thanks for the early listen on this one. This genre isn't usually my bag, but amazing talent and craftsmanship of a song transcend genres. Hauntingly beautiful. Fabulous job Mystified!

	thetiler said 1196 days ago
	Well done NIce backround. Tobin you sure now how to compose in a lot of styles! Good going, both of you!

	jiguma said 1196 days ago
	Now that's impressive! This is not really the sort of music I normally listen too, but I'm finding that MJ does tend to stretch your boundaries. The combination of Mysti's amazing voice and Tobin's string work is really beautiful. Looking forward to hearing more of the LOTL series!! Thansk for doing this, Neil

	Cori Ander said 1196 days ago
	Congratulations you two! This is some beautiful and refreshing music! Some music leaves me feel stronger and somewhat more enlightened after listening. This is one such piece! Thanks a lot for the uplifting music! And congratulations you two!

	Tadashi Togawa said 1196 days ago
	Prelude The fairy of the song whispered. I will sing. Line light shines from the space of a dark grove.

Cameron said 1196 days ago

lovely voice and harmonies
This is a very exciting collaboration, and I look forward to
hearing much, much more.

The concept of this little excerpt is excellent; the
harmonies and overall treatment remind me of Britten and
Vaughn-Williams.

If this is a prelude, I would love to hear more of a quiet
beginning, with thinner orchestration (maybe even solo
vocals) which then builds up to the material presented
here. (Maybe I feel this way because I'm just waking up
now, and this is the first music I've heard today.)

But perhaps you wanted the intensity from the very
beginning.

The balance between strings, winds and vocals is good.
The mix sounded a bit "close" to my ears, not quite how
an orchestra would sound live. Maybe pan the instruments
a little differently (wider in the strings, for example)? It
might help the sound from being too "synthesized".

This brief taste of music is a lovely composition; Myst's
voice is perfect for it, and I greatly look forward to the
expanded suite!

TobinMueller said 1191 days ago

lovely voice and harmonies
Thanks for your careful listening. I just couldn't wait to hear Mystified start
singing and sort of fell in love with the shortness of the piece. The only part I
wish was different were the entrance of the double reeds which is now kind of
buried beneath the vocals. It is always surprising how many details get lost after
vocals are layered in. But the emotions are caught elsewhere and it ended being
a compromise I felt ok making. Again, thanks for your ideas; I will use them as
we move forward with the project.

	Drew Kopr said 1196 days ago
	Best of Mysti This is the best performance by Mysti that I have heard (in my humble opinion). The mix is fab, and the music is too. I hope the other pieces are as excellent as this one. I can't wait to hear them.

ziti said 1196 days ago

what can ya say
tobin, this is too beautiful for words except wow and
HOLY CRAP!!!! No one could have pulled this off except
mystified, she is blessed with a great voice and she has
worked countless hours to hone...but it is her skill as an
improviser that is even more astounding...she has music
playing in her head all the time that the rest of us would
struggle to create...and she just opens her heart and out it
comes.

The composition, performance and production are stellar.

world class music

	... Sheer beauty. 10-10-10-10

	Shimky said 1195 days ago
	Speechless Super mixing on this track really brings the symphony to life behind Cat's amazing vocals. Incredible quality. :O)

	Komrade K said 1195 days ago
	Gorgeous! If I were to have a criticism of this sumptious piece, it's that it's too short. Go on make it longer... indulge us!

	Peter Greenstone said 1195 days ago
	Singing in tongues Great idea to use a made up language. It sounds like a real one. Meaning is certainly conveyed through the singing. Beautiful and powerful. The strings are a bit overpowering, especially in the beginning. Maybe shifting to more cello and bass strings would make more room for the vocals and woodwinds.

TobinMueller said 1191 days ago

Singing in tongues
The problem I found in the woodwinds was the vocals, since Mystified sang
unison with a few of the double reed lines. If I were to have redone the entire
instrumentation from scratch, I would need to separate each voice and
instrument thru panning, since I couldn't do anything else with EQ or
compression than I already did. The cellos were downplayed becuz they
conflicted with the voice in the lower mids, so I compressed both of them
(differently) to make room for more diction in the vocals; if I left the vocals at
the level Mystified originally placed them they overpowered the woodwinds
completely; I also wanted to keep some of the string resonance; Cameron's
idea of widening the pan would have been best if I would have gone back and
redone the entire music bed track, which I didn't do (I only remastered it).
Actually, my system must play lower frequencies at a high level becuz other
ears on MJ frequently comment that I need to boost the bass (even tho I listen
to each track on at least 3 systems and they sound good to me, sigh).

mikkinylund said 1195 days ago

Art
This is very short, and like you say I can look at it as a
prelude, which I am. I can't wait to hear the rest of this story
- words or not is not important, the drama, and the beuty
makes me feel like someone is struggeling with a great
problem in life. I am sure you have your own intentions. I
think too that it would be stronger starting out with less of
the strings and build up. The bass break is very, very good
and almost to me, bring in an element of surprise I am
seaching for. The vocals, what can one say, this is high-
class of course, so elegant and strong, yet soft.

TobinMueller said 1191 days ago

Art
Thanks for noticing the "elegant yet soft" idea. What is so special to me is how
Mystified's voice is capturing the character of the Lady, a woman for whom
words like dignity, conviction and integrity simply cannot explain her depth of
character; a mortal goddess (a pseudo-duality certain people believe is in all
of us) to which a connection to living is innate, natural. This is her at prayer,
before the end-game of the final days of the Celtic way of life. Her prayer holds
history and hope, but everything is intimate to such the Lady, even events
centuries in the past. And everything has many perspectives, becuz she views
the world in much larger time slices. But, above all, she knows how to love, and
that is what pours out of Mystified's voice.

SlimGirlFat said 1194 days ago

Wow
Stunning track rom the two of you.
It brought to mind a celtic poem called
"The Harp of Cnoc I'Chosgair"
by Gofraidh Fion O Dalaigh. (1385):

Harp of Cnoc I'Chosgair, you who bring sleep
to eyes long sleepless;
sweet subtle, plangent, glad, cooling grave.
Excellent instrument with smooth gentle curve,
trilling under red fingers,
musician that has charmed us,
red, lion-like of full melody.

You who lure the bird from the flock,
you who refresh the mind,
brown spotted one of sweet words,
ardent, wondrous, passionate.
You who heal every wounded warrior,
joy and allurement to women,
familiar guide over the dark blue water,
mystic sweet sounding music.

Slimmie

	caroline said 1194 days ago
	I DON'T LIKE THIS!!!!! i don't like the way the music and the voice wrap me in a soft, comforting cloak of all enclosing peace, i don't like the way the piece soothes and calms me. i don't like the way it compels me to listen again and again. and i certainly don't like that i have to get outta here and go to work!!! thank you - one love xxx

	jug88 said 1194 days ago
	Wow - unexpected! I clicked on this one just since my curiosity got up because I'm a King Arthur and Excalibur fan....in doing so I uncovered this little gem! Very nice vocals and the instruments flow very very nicely. Looking forward to more - nice job. Makes me feel and think and wonder...well done!

TobinMueller said 1174 days ago

Wow - unexpected!
I have a half-written opera called "Merlyn" from which this is taken. I enjoyed
studying that period, those legends, and contemplating the issues around the
massive changes that occurred in Celtic life at the end of the Druid-Celtic era,
the clash with Roman culture that was also on its last legs, and culture clashes
of mythic proportions at every boundary. Since I no longer hope to complete
the original project, working a few songs with Mystie helps bring back the
wonder and magic I felt when first devising the libretto with this work. Thanks
for your curiosity and comments.

	said 1194 days ago
	Wow Stunning.

	syzygywell said 1193 days ago
	YES! it sounds like a very deep call to the gods and godesses. The voice and string arrangement work beautifully together. Mystified...what a voice!!!

	ledebutant said 1193 days ago
	Mouth open! Wow to both of you, honestly! This is one of the best examples of the freedom this place brings, allowing two artists, thousands of miles apart to make something so beautiful. 10's!

	stevel said 1193 days ago
	Fantastic operatic piece Wonderful music, a stunning vocal performance from Mysti! Great stuff...my mum really likes this too! Steve

	eDrew said 1193 days ago
	Excellent! Great stuff. Congrats to both of you. I would have preferred a more convincing Orchestra sound. But it's great as it is. I know how difficult it is to try to simulate the real thing. Looking forward to more from %u201CThe Lady%u201D

	Ejh said 1193 days ago
	I'm STUNNED... ...this is beautiful...gets right at the truth, the meaning that is beyond words... I'm not classically schooled, but the orchestration is very pleasing to my ear; once again, Tobin, each instrument has space for its timbre to breathe and be heard... And Mystified, this is one of my favorites among your vocals. Quite something... Ed

	Joanna said 1192 days ago
	return visit I came back, to listen once again, and realized that I had been so mesmerized that I had forgotten to say or do anything. I guess sometimes, I feel inadequate to the task. Myst, this is so impressive. I can hear the classical training in your vocals. Yet another shade in a many-shaded voice. Tobin, a wonderful start to your new symphony. Ovations to you both.

	said 1192 days ago
	Evocative and ethereal This is very good. Reminiscent of some of Fumitaka Anzai's work with soprano and the Latin language (Kyrie: Canto Cybernetico). Gives me the same evocative sensation.

	iG.STUDiO said 1191 days ago
	I don't know... ...what I liked more, the music, or the lyrics... Just kidding, of course. Beautiful piece, excellent vocals, very tasteful orchestration (must agree with Cameron, however - I know it's your choice, as you see a bigger picture, but for a stand-alone piece, the strings are a tad too intense - it takes away from the overall development). Will wait for more :)

	TEXASFEEL said 1191 days ago
	Reminds me of the Tabernacle Choir. This song is very much like Christmas even though it's about the Lady of the Lake. I don't mean this out of respect. This is very good and I love Christmas music. Nice job to the both of you.

	Took me too long... ...to comment on this. Everyone else has said it all! It's beautiful. Tobin, you should write more art songs and classical-type stuff! Myst- you certainly have the perfect voice for this. Great collab.

	elfdaughter said 1177 days ago
	Wow! This is a beautiful piece! Mystified sounds gorgeous here...more! More!!

Ode to the luvly Lady.

swooping and swirling & soaring ..er ............ of sound.
[ not wall of ...maelstrom of ? ...tide of ? ..torrent of ?
....roller coaster ride of ? ....nope. ] well ' something ' of
sound anyway.
That said i feel you both might be skinnydipping in the
shallows with the luvly Lady du Lac , in terms of quantity
mind you, not quality , more please . very nice indeedy ,
very nice.

	protart said 1171 days ago
	vertical music vertical music is Yours....it seems it desires to ascend - like a DNA - to the sky, like a magic forest - surely interesting, but I think you can still improve it ...there is a little of sense of confusion sometimes... maybe adding rhythmical elements and clearing a little the sound...Anyway, I like very much the idea that I think you want to express.

Paul_T said 1169 days ago

Otherworldly!
You said that this was "Voices from the subconscious,
before words were turned into something other than
emotional metaphors."

I love the concept. I think that we, as humans, are limited
by the structures that we have created for ourselves, such
as language, logic, and you know, society in general. Once
we created these "rules," we confine ourselves by living
within them, rejecting anything that doesn't fit into the
matrix of what we already accept.

I've always felt that art was in the spaces between these
structures. Not really here, not really there, but rooted in
something primordial that we really can't explain because
our logic wasn't designed well enough to analyze it.

That is where this song lives. Thanks!!

	This piece... I appreciate that you were the first commenter when the song originally posted. thanks for re-posting. I dug the first art too and will just have to write a new song to go with it just to have an excuse for posting it again. Thanks for your kind words and emails, too.

	TobinMueller said 1192 days ago
	Thank you, And thank you again. Off we go! Now that we started, we'll never be able to stop...

	TobinMueller said 1192 days ago
	Evocative The Cloisters is a lovely spot. My nephew Chris currently lives there with is wife and year old daughter. thanks for the nice comments. Yes, this one just came off my fingers, no analysis on this end either. And, from Mystified's comments, it just came out of her too. Flow. With all the over thinking I usually do, it is nice to have one just happen like this.

	TobinMueller said 1192 days ago
	Tobin, you amaze me... Thanks, Darren. I think I attribute this to two things: My bad memory makes me keep making up new stuff. And I get bored too easily. Both are getting worse with age. This is how I keep a smile on my face.
