Members blue2blue Posted July 16, 2008 Members Share Posted July 16, 2008 This is certainly one of my favorite things I've heard here. I really like the music. And I like the idea of the vocals a lot. I like the sound of the vocal, the flavor and character of your voice. I like the idea of the odd way your voice dips at the ends of lines... but that may be the key to a bit of ambivalence in my reaction to it... I like the almost affectless deadpan you seem to be going for. But there's a little awkwardness and tentativeness in your approach that undercuts that deadpan quality a little. My first GF got under my skin one time when we were watching this blues guy play and he was grimacing a little as he played, strecthing strings, and she said, "Effort is a sign of imperfect mastery." Which started a long dialog about the merits of the zen koan as a basis for a critical system, IIRC, but the bottom line is that that dialog exemplified my torn feelings here. On the one hand, I appreciate it more because you're trying to find a vocal approach that's as individualistic as the other instruments, I appreciate that you're reaching, pushing... at the same time... part of me is thinking, to do this really right -- like the instruments are really right -- to do this right, the vocal has to be not just deadpan with a peculiar melodic twist but it has to be negligently self-confident and 100% committed to its matter of fact oddness. It's very close... Really a cool project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members vladtra Posted July 17, 2008 Members Share Posted July 17, 2008 I like your tones a lot and they are really fantastic. But I say focus on making your vocals more understandable sonically. Cause your poetry is good in a sense that it's also fantastic. Only advice I have is make your vocals a bit more understandable soundwise. Every musician is a unique person no matter what we are all different when it comes to our art. But yet we all share some things that we are good at.

Members travis coats Posted July 19, 2008 Author Members Share Posted July 19, 2008 Thanks for listening guys, I appreciate the comments. I will work on the mix a little more. Probably need to re-record the vocals again and mix things a little different. I am not a fan of mixing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Nick* Posted July 20, 2008 Members Share Posted July 20, 2008 Kind of a scary vibe. I like it. Vocals worked really well. The tone of your voice fit in really good. Good stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
