Good experiment.....
It's a good experiment Daniel.

It makes a pleasant change from your other uploads.

Take care.

Of all my friends..
I thought you might appreciate this. Experimentation is your M.O.

Birdman Wayne said 182 days ago
Great!
I love these sounds, could be an intro for a Rock/ Psychedelic song... Cool!!

LunaTrick said 182 days ago
Yes it could be...
But I wanted it to have a spoken word effect as well... sort of anti-poetry!

Fourth Window said 182 days ago
weird
wacky and so dam freacky and cool must of been in that kind of mood
love the if only you efect
great job

LunaTrick said 182 days ago
I find myself...
In that mood quite often - so look out for future absurdities my friend.

Thanks for listening!

magnatone said 182 days ago
If Only
Wow - quite a divergence for you Luna! Very interesting - I kind of wish it was a bit longer - kept my attention, cool experimentation!

LunaTrick said 182 days ago
Thanks Karen...
I wanted it to be long enough to pip the curiosity - but not too long to the point where people get fed up.

Rebsie said 182 days ago
Nice ...
I'm a big fan of drone-based tunes and there's some nice sounds weaving in and out of this one. It's self-contained but would work well as the opening passage of a much longer and more elaborate piece too.

LunaTrick said 182 days ago
Thanks Rebsie...
As compatriots of drone... I must go and check out more of your stuff.

Echoes of Floyd
Lunatrick, this reminds me of Dark Side of the Moon. I agree with Magnatone, it could be longer and developed further. You've got potential in this; it could go several directions and be successful, I think.

Thanks Greg
Always flattering to be rendered as Floydian! See my comment to Karen about the length - but I take your point!

davisamerica said 182 days ago
anti poetry indeed
loved this one daniel ... very cool

tokai said 182 days ago
Trippy sounds
very nice experiment indeed.

paul f. page said 182 days ago
There's a...
...story here: "If only you could wake up." Without knowing the context, it's hard to comment on the message. But it feels like the whole composition could evoke a lengthy passage of time in a psychological drama. Your percussive counterpoint is so complex and interesting...and it stresses me so. Perhaps that's what you wanted. You have "struck a chord" to be sure. Nice going.
Peace.

LunaTrick said 181 days ago
Thanks Paul...
Not sure if there is a definite context... other than the general public is asleep in terms of political and humanitarian issues. I suppose it can mean what you want it to... much of our culture is lobotomized by meaningless entertainment and the soporiphic drug of comfort!

VicDiesel said 180 days ago
If only it were longer
Cool sounds. Maybe some explanation of where they come from?



LunaTrick said 179 days ago
Absolutely...
The sounds were taken from a very cheap casio keyboard ran through various guitar pedals. I do a lot of weird things like that - toy pianos, pots and pans, etc.

Epileptic Gibbon said 179 days ago
Any chance
I could use this for the Halloween edition of my podcast show?

LunaTrick said 179 days ago
sure thing...
I have a lot of 'halloween' music - so stay tuned...

Char said 78 days ago
I can play pots and pans.
Just saying.... But, I can't do this. Put a couple of these together and it could be presented on stage. I heard some experimental music like this many moons ago, in Colorado Springs. I got lost in it and really didn't want to wake up.
Thank you.
