[ElectricPuppy]

LUCK!!

 

(I tried picking out some parts, too, but then got distracted by something shiny.)

Definitely not a good thing if you're a soccer playin' crow.

Update on this project... it's definitely a challenge, but I'm learning a lot about Baroque orchestration!... I finally got the "Violin I" part down that was giving me problems.

 

This is a quick audio (totally un-mixed) of what I got so far... yeah, I know... I'm no Walter Carlos but I'm trying :

 

Stabat Mater Dolorosa (take 4).mp3

 

Suggestions, comments appreciated!

 

Breakdown of what's still left to do (besides learning to read the "C" viola clef which I've never used in my life before...)

 

Cello & Bass (Memorymoog) = completed

Organ continuo (actually, I'm just doubling the bass) Memorymoog = completed

Violin II (Memorymoog) = completed

Violin I (Memorymoog) = completed

Viola (Memorymoog) = to do

Alto vox (Synthesizers.com) = to do

Soprano vox (Synthesizers.com) = to do

Any chance the memorymoog can use a non-equal temperament? Not sure what would be best for a piece in F minor (sort-of). Not Werkmeister (best in sharp keys) but maybe another "well" temperament that favors flat keys.

Yep, the Memorymoog has a non-equal temperament setting: it's called "Don't press the Auto Tune button"

I believe that's what known as the "non-equal temperature" setting.

perfect: very period

So, Paolo; finished yet? Let's hear it!

 

I finished it

 

My first "switched on" project.

 

It really took quite a bit of effort, but I'm happy I persevered. I think Pergolesi's Stabat Mater is a very moving (master)piece.

 

Here's the music and a quick video, let me know what you guys think

Nice (and quick) work, sounding good, and well restrained on the programming and patch useage.

 

I like the synthesisers.com sound over the memorymoog, at least on this track, sweet and with a good presence to it.

Thank you Purity

 

You're right about the sounds. I wanted to use the dot.com for all sounds, but only have two Q106s, and have to use one as LFO - so I couldn't do the bass and organ sounds as I wanted them. The Memorymoog is a great instrument but perhaps a bit too "rough" for this type of composition that's supposed to be "gentle". I've ordered another Q106 (and a filter) and should get them tomorrow...
