I love Moog!

The Phantom Eyebrow

I see the Moog lovefest continues unabated.  I feel that a polymath of my stature can make some small contribution to these, the proceedings.  I am something of a prodigy you know, and mastered Chopin at an early age (or was it Chopsticks?  I get confused sometimes).  As such I know a thing or two about a thing or two.  And this isn't half bad you know...

Don't make me drop th' funk on you, sir!  If you force my hand(s), D.J., things might get a little weird...  :huh:

I'm sure you've often wondered, as I have, what would happen if we replaced Gary Brooker's (powerful, melancholy, irreplaceable) voice with Minimoog.

Wonder no longer.

Ah, DJ, you simply wish to make my organ play the blues, and 'tis too early in th' day for it to turn blue.  ;)

And, aye, because this is a Moog thread and not a Hammond organ thread, here is the same tune transformed by the magical power of the Polymoog!

No, ye don't have to play the blues...I'm just looking ofr some chord progressions and such...ye know, AABA type ideas..maybe a little turnarounds with II-V-I..that sort of thing...real music..me thinks!  WIll listen and comment on all this stuff later.

Aye, well, I'm not interested in real music; only possible music interests me.  :P

(I'm only kidding, of course.  I've acknowledged that "MoogFest" was quickly composed, mixed, and shipped out, and, I agree with you, 'tis substandard.   :thumbdown:  Though, to be sure, there's something true to what I've posted here.)

Alright, Tiobe, you finally have one that's saveable in "Easy Livin'".  No time keeping problems - in your "Droppin' It on the DJ" and "Droppin' the DJ in the Ocean" songs you seem to lose track of your time signature badly ( 0:17 to 0:36) and only save it by holding out a single note to get back on tempo - and you're voicings and such are suitable for the song.  As for your "The Hammond SIngs the Blues", it sounds more like an early soul/r&b song than an actual blues - it contains all the cliches that fall into that song styling isntaed of blues organ.  As for "Itsa Myzterie", it's reminisent of an old Final Fantasy game songtrack, a bit creepy that I know that and never really played the games that much.  Getting better but ye still ahve some practice to go.  Makes me wish my keyboard's transistors hadn't burned out (yes, I had an old original moog..no minimoogs for me..full 88 keys) so I could let you hear what I'm talking about.

*Notices his own words* Okay, when the 'ell did I get so freakin' serious and informative on any type of conversation?!?!?  Who spiked my vodka with intelligence?

Yeah, "Moogfest" definetly comes off as a first time thing which is okay...I guess, but ye are getting better.  Course ye could always contact me via pm and I could help out..somehow...perhaps...maybe if booze was involved.... :thumbup:

Just to recap: you like the track ("Easy Livin'") which A) has no Moog in it and B) isn't my composition (Just ask Eyebrow.). Sounds like a winning formula! :P

And if you thought the mystery instrumental was from Final Fantasy, then you need to get awake, man. ;)

*sigh* I simply must continue to attempt to please.  Perhaps someday, D.J., you will achieve Enlightenment on a Friday Afternoon...

I know that, I was going on more of the fact that it sounded like a full thought out piece, instead of one that came off the top of ye head at that exact moment.

QuoteAnd if you thought the mystery instrumental was from Final Fantasy, then you need to get awake, man. ;)

I didn't say it came from Final Fantasy, I said it sounded like something form Final Fantasy!  Quit putting words in my mouth, Tiobe...they don't exactly fit! :P

Have you taken the time to think, Tiobe, you're trying to please me?  Who in their right mind would spend all the time trying to please a drunken, dead bag of filth like me?

Final judgement on "Enlightenment":  Not to be mean, Tiobe, but "Enlightenment" made my ears bleed and that's hard to maek a dead man's ears do.  The background didn't fit the foreground music, and it felt like you were just fumbling around on the keys, no real purpose in the note picking.  Sorry.

Great Googly Moogly!  Some of those are pretty cool!

Deaths Jester

QuoteYou've recently begun releasing user created music for the community to use in their own leisure. How do you go about creating the music, and do you plan to release much more of it?

There are two explanations for my compositional methods: one spurious and one official (I will not identify which is which, for, I am bound to say, that I, myself, cannot spot the genuine jay.).  Death's Jester asserts that I begin (and end) by pounding away aimlessly at the organ keys until something bloody well bleeds (typically, his ears).  Alternatively, Lane performs a séance to allow me to channel the spirit of one of my musically-inclined ancestors...before I pound away aimlessly at the organ keys until something bloody well bleeds.

So mainly I was right to begin with, eh?

Furthermore, why couldn't you choose a track from an interesting Hancock album, like Crossings?  I am beginning to understand how your musical taste handicap may have influenced your reception of my own recordings. :P
