Desert of Gems
Recovering from breaking my middle and ring finger on my fretting hand, can play guitar almost at 100% again. Here is an old song I wrote 10 years ago in 2014. The opening track to my first album "Opportunity Had Many Names".
Tuning: C#F#C#D#A#C#
Lyrics:
The Sun started pulling the words from my glistening mouth
Leaving notes in the air, are you listening?
In silver streaks the wind blew
Gliding along radiant judgement
Monuments sprang up
Striving for spiritual diamonds
And as we crawled up the dune
Swords in the sand... colours erupted

Song I wrote two Summers ago. Tuning is CFCDAC Now you're sailing sails don't come cheap ya it's just a sheet no complaining need those limbs for bailing Easy sailing pushed off the beach the wind is sweet prevailing I want the Summer air to be kind I'll tell you when I'm there in due time Dolphins playing ya right it's real it kind of feels like a painting rainbow without raining Easy sailing ...

Valley home say hello to a new sky Sometimes when the rain comes down at night The wind sweeps me through the city to a street of trees Wet concrete glowing in the moon and your sparkling signs of life What have I done to get a taste of the divine Oo that perfect moment in the night I’m not a lion I’m water as an air sign The Shepherd’s on a walk casting the stars in the sky Like you were count...

    Lovely piece! The music video is perfect! I've noticed a lot of ringing bell-like tones in your guitar playing, they give off a glassy almost crystalline feel sometimes in your pieces! It's perfect synchronicity!!!

    Lovely sounds! I love the pixelated view of nature with the radio tower and the streetlamp in the snow - it's like nature through the lens of technology (and the tension between the two). This also seems to be echoed in the music as well - the organic sounds of acoustic guitars and (what sounds like) a creeping synth note, which becomes very prominent at around 1:30 and then fades to the background again, seem to be two (normally) opposing viewpoints creating contrast but ultimately harmonizing together. Can't wait to hear the album that this is on!

      @BjornBols 9 місяців тому

      Are you making sure you're hammering on the B string from the third fret to open? The notes should be D (3rd fret on B) B (open B string) G (Open G string). Try playing along with the song to get the rhythm right, I hope that helps somewhat!

  • @AWorkingMansGuideToComedy

    Whoah!, I was just looking through your videos and saw this! This must have been an interesting thing to do. I have always loved filmmaking and have tried my hand at a couple of short films but have never thought to engineer sounds for one (I think Foley Artist is the technical term for people who do this). You did a great job, everything lines up as it should and makes sense from an audio standpoint. I think it would be interesting to take some footage and add sound that creates a different narrative from the one the original filmmaker intended (like a romantic scene but add horror noises and eerie music instead, for example). This has given me some ideas!

    Wow, I've never seen this film before, it looks really interesting! The music in this reminds me of another filmmaker named Hal Hartley. He soundtracks his own films and his style since the 2000s had/has a very similar vibe to this. It sounds great, interesting, peaceful, and a few subtle effects that add texture and atmosphere! 👍

    Beautiful song! I've been going through more of your videos and have been loving more and more of your work! I also dig the old Soviet animation you used, there were some absolutely beautiful cartons and movies made in Russia during this period!

  • @AWorkingMansGuideToComedy
    @AWorkingMansGuideToComedy 11 місяців тому

    This one is wonderful! The two EPS were like bookends to each other while this one is more of a complete journey. I particularly like hearing Arasame's Celestial Dream again, that was my favorite from Ancient Moon. Pasargadae had what sounded like a recording of thunder that was really nice (I've used thunder in musical recordings too - I love field recordings combined with music!). In the River Pinaris, I heard you making wind/atmospheric sounds with your mouth while running a delay - I've done the same thing before (there is a lot of music here that I personally resonate with)! And you do it so well here! And then the drums in Palace Stone was interesting - almost like a traditional pop/rock tune at times but more organic. I thought it made a fitting conclusion as it ended on a note of familiarity and completeness. I said in my last comment that I could listen to this while doing something creative, well I nearly finished a song I had been working on while I was listening to this one! It was a very inspiring listen and one that I will definitely revisit again soon! Thank you for sharing it!!!

    I listened to Ancient Moon and loved it! This one is great to! Similar warmth and ambiance, but a different feel and instrumentation throughout that sets it apart. I think both album covers capture the essence of the albums as well. Ancient Moon definitely had a nighttime feel, while I see spring and water a lot in my mind when I listen to this one. They're kind of like day and night companions to one another. This is great music, I'm definitely going to be listening to this one again, probably when I'm doing something creative! Thank you for making this!

    • @BjornBols

    Wow! This is an amazing album you made! A beautiful blend of natural acoustic instruments and electronic noise that creates a dream captured in sound. I literally feel like under moonlight while listening to this! You mic'd everything perfectly as well - everything is so warm and with just the right amount of ambiance! It sounds like an analog recording though I suspect it's a very well-done digital recording! I'll definitely be listening to this again - and you've gained a new subscriber!
