Description My entry in Feter's House of Blues Challenge. The music bed is one verse of Feter's bed slowed down 200% and modified in Audacity. After it was brought into Garageband I added a Mezzuin's call to prayer that was similarly treated in Audacity. Thanks to the freesound project for the sample: http://freesound.iua.upf.edu/samplesViewSingle.php?id=33937

Thanks to Feter for launching this project - I look forward to hearing more submissions - it's already been great.

Thanks for sound inspiration Feter
your track is incredibly good and I'll come back with a more standard respectful collaboration. This was just an exercise while I had no instruments and my old iBook.

The creativity...
...I am hearing in these various pieces is pretty remarkable. I was immediately drawn into yours, Bud, from the fire crack at measure 1 and the ensuing arid landscape you created. I don't even know how to imagine this sort of sound much less create it. It's really an awesome vision you project with this kind of sound bed...oh, oh...and then it just...stops. Can't there be more?
Peace.
Paul

bud said 255 days ago
You're always so supportive Paul - thanks -
That firecrack was some glitch I kept. Glad you could get into this. I kept it short by design - just one verse of Feter's track at the speed that sounded right.

dajama said 255 days ago
Wow
This is amazing. You have such great musical vision. How many people would have thought of doing this? I think the answer is...one! Love the effect of the slowed down call and the guitar track is just something else - otherwordly and mesmerizing. Very cool. Peace.

bud said 255 days ago
I just checked out Turn Away Slowly -
man that's a cool song. Thanks for taking the time to listen in here and comment.

echoroom said 255 days ago
Haunting..
... and typically inventive. How do you find to work, write this fantastic music, and be consistently creative?????

Can you buy it over the counter???

bud said 254 days ago
Thanks Steve -
I don't know that my wife and kids are so happy about my time management. But basically I'm more than a bit compulsive I guess and like to work fast - so it's not as bad as it seems. When the obsessive side takes over - then there's trouble.

lengold said 255 days ago
You continue
to surprise bud - very, very creative.
Cheers
Len



bud said 254 days ago
Nice of you to stop by
always good to hear from you. Thanks.

DWL said 255 days ago
Raising the bar -
the creativity on this is amazing. What an imagination you have.

Cheers

bud said 254 days ago
Thanks Dick -
I just grabbed a recipe from the Audacity cookbook and added some prime ingredients. Feter's guitar sounds great no matter what you do to it.

Creativity
This is great Mr. Kevin, you took it really into another direction which sounds gorgeous to my ears. I haven't heard this type of music before but for me it sounds a little Pshyco intro or something like that! Excellent work!

Take Care

So glad you enjoyed this
and took the time to comment. Thanks.

Moviz said 255 days ago
Highly
original Bud. Great thinking to come up with this original concept, regards M

bud said 254 days ago
Thanks Maurice -
given a straightforward challenge I seem driven to pervert it in some way. In my band - when we jam we have a rule that no matter what we can't fall into a twelve bar blues. I'm sure I'll come back to the house again though - Feter's bed is just too good to leave deranged like this.

the final frontier. Thanks for dropping by and taking the time to comment.

tokai said 254 days ago
Original
piece of work as usual, good one. I think the call to prayer suits the piece.. Where is the image from is it one of yours?

bud said 254 days ago
The image is not mine -
it's off google. Guess credit is due. I love the Mezzuin's call - glad it fit into this and that you agree. Thanks for the listen and comment.

said 254 days ago
Another captivating soundscape!
You're a creative bugger aren't you Bud? Is this the official B-side to "Phenomenon"? LOL!

Nicely done.

Be well!

bud said 254 days ago
That's it!
Maybe I'll get some radio play now.

Bud
Heh this is haunting at the same time surreal and beautiful

Bud I think he out of the box approach here yeilded some favorable results, so much so that its a download, hehe

egobandit said 254 days ago
went great
with what Im working on Thanks I needed that

racerat said 254 days ago
you make me
feel like an old fuddy-duddy. You are always doing the coolest-far-out-ist experimental things. You are one of the art gods of MacJams! My hat goes off to you. If anyone reading this hasn't delved very deep into the bud-ness' catalog, then shame on you and get to it! This is an amazing soundscape.

praying
in the desert night to dark indigo skies. a different term on the blues.

Skean said 253 days ago

Cheers

Very Creative
this is smart stuff Bud... weird how an audio track can just up & take you some place... I had a sunburn on the back of my neck by the time it was finished

said 251 days ago
How....... I mean, how...
...do you do this? How can you hear and create something so far removed from the source that actually IS the source? Arresting and deeply moving - where the emotion comes from is testament to your ability to draw blood from the machine. Wow.

bud said 251 days ago
There's a Buddhist saying -

"Start where you are". In this instance I started with a beautiful emotional blues recording and then experimented with what I learned from Phenomeneon. All you hear is one verse slowed down and then reversed. The two tracks - forward and reverse are then lined up and played together with a little filtering. The Mezzuin call was slowed down an equal amount and laid in with just a little filtering also (again just one section of a much longer piece). I didn't do much - I just followed the lead of the music.

Psychedelic
Psychedelic in the spiritual sense of the would. Thanks for leading me on suck a beautiful trip.

there you go again
changing the playground and raising the bar ... bud this is pretty knock out spacey ... wonderful sounds here ... dang you!

bud said 251 days ago
Thanks for all the kind comments
time is tight - so this is a group hug. I'm cramming for CBGB's.

VicDiesel said 248 days ago
Life in slo-mo
I love this kind of stretched out sounds. They immediately become unreal, part of an alternate reality. You could have let this go on for an hour and I would have listened to all of it.



bud said 248 days ago
Nice of you to drop by and comment
I'm fond of this effect myself and was tempted to make it longer. Maybe will go back.

Heightened said 208 days ago
Wow!
This is how it's done. Starting to feel a little inadequate.
