Tonight I posted a loop that I played with this weekend. It really has no title, though I gave it one. It's in the Yahoo account for the site in the briefcase in the folder called Jeff's Music. The file is called bloodfromastone.mp3. Right now it is the only one over there, but I can upload any of my songs if anyone is interested. Please let me know what you think of this one. Jeff www.yahoo.comPS I was thinking of crying statues, and this phrase my mom uses popped into my head. (Actually, I think my mom uses both stones and turnips as the impossible source of blood... What can I say? I watched The Bicycle Thief this weekend.) Then I got this lyric, which I'll probably scrap (because the word "from" occurs twice), but right now I kinda like: "The Lady knows How to get blood from a stone And where it goes Is stranger than where it’s from" |

Jeff, sorry I never posted anything on this. I liked the loop quite a bit, as usual. I know you won't like this much, but I hear it as a background for a PM-Dawn type casual rap. Damn! Why don't we have any rappers in our gang?

I wrote the verse tonight or at least the basics of it. I put it together with the chorus to show how the two parts might fit together. The new experiement is called Sweet Unknown.mp3, and it is in the Jeff's Music folder if you want to give it a listen.
What I am trying to do is blend two progressions, which is why the bassline stays the same. This is going to go on Tygers, where the whole point is to make one of two. All my experiments last summer were about combining time signatures. Now I am trying to write melodies and figures that can be played without variation over both a major and a minor progression.
Please, tell me what you think.
Jeff
PS I wouldn't mind a rap but someone else would have to do it. I forgot my kango.
PPS It helps to listen to the loop in a loop two or three times--if you can stomach it. Then you can get a better feel for the verse. I didn't repeat things very much in order to save space on our yahoo account.

Made some minor improvements on the loop, if you want to give it a go. It is in now called Sweet Unknown test 4.mp3 and it is small, just about 1 MB.

I sure wish I had a better place to post these files. If they were more easily accessable, I think you would be more likely to listen to them. I promise not to go back to sending them to your email addresses, though!
Anyway, one of the first experiments I did with the progression I've been working on continues to interest me. I wanted to ask you if you thought it was interesting and worth preserving. If you think it is, then I will incorporate it into Sweet Unknown as a break.
I have posted it in the briefcase. It is labeled as a prevision.
