One of the greatest singers and song writer in the last 50 years has got to be Randy Newman

[DILLIGAF]

Can't think what brought that to mind.

Suspicious minds
Cuuld be a title for a thread, for the lurkers

 

[DILLIGAF]

Remember hearing this on a Saturday morning, just before heading into town for a pint then going to the game
Those were simpler times

 

[Tony]

Dont like Elton, something about him gives me the johns

Is it because hes gay Winter?

 

[TET]

Is it because hes gay Winter?

[boab1916]

Before the nights out

 

[Winter]

No I like happy go lucky characters and...oh you mean that gay still no , he could be straight as Tarzan but still I cannot ignore my instincts he gives me the creeps

the pipers at the gates of dawn
Keep safe Arnold Lane

I stopped stealing from washing lines when i was umm 41

 

[Smelltheg-love]

was experimenting with Floyd tune gig in sky

And decided to tell computer to put all notes into G minor key

no idea what key it should be in but the result was a bit weird\

Sounds same but different

well I used metal guitars rather than standard electric guitars
And added bit of make choir

Anyway quite interesting result

I had a flashback about this, was pretty far gone at the time, so just listened, thats a great sound you get there. its the same song but it's not if that makes sense

if you pick a tune I can try make a version

well see what pops out

pick a letter from a to g

ill transpose the notes

and you pick what instruments you want playing

see if a lucky version flips out the other side

make it something quite mainstream that way I can find a midi file for it most likely

give me a few days, i'm fortunate enough to work from home and always got tunes on
something will drop in sometime soon
is it more guitar based that works best ?

anything its just an experiment

You pick tune

ill see if I can find it on net in midi format

I have most instruments in virtual format

so I can play tune the way its meant to be with correct instruments

or I can change the key to make it sound bit different

or I can play it with totally different instruments

sometimes nice versions pop out by changing key and rearranging notes to fit new key

and sometimes you might wish the guitar tune was actually played with synthesiser of violin or whatever?

ill give you example

I will try making wish you were here Floyd but ill play it in e minor with different instruments from usual

see what pops out it might be woeful but it might be lucky one

i get you now, my musical talent centres on my ability to refrain from making an ass of myself

 

[TET]

i get you now, my musical talent centres on my ability to refrain from making an ass of myself

mine too

but I seem to be immune to being a giant ass



here is the result of wish you were here changed to c major

I was intending to make it e minor but hey I made arse of it with first 4 instruments and just continued with c major

the clarinet on melody seemed to clash on bounce down with the eclipse rhythm guitar

and well I couldn't be arsed going back and un muddying the water for an experiment

see made an arse of it several times during production

but when its just for fun then who cares

results were odd but I quite liked sections of it

used cello piano eclipse guitar viola drums double bass and xylophone

xylophone bit I liked best

but the viola clarinet eclipse clashed badly with their reverb setting on mastering it

sounded ok individually but I only noticed when I was ready to upload and found the clashing noise interference

oh well

like a chef better to taste before you serve
