Members Montag Posted October 6, 2005 Members Share Posted October 6, 2005 Ontario Plates (guitar demo) this is a demo of a new song for bandmates. a little sloppy, i know, but whatever. it's a demo. this first bit is in 5/4. the second bit is 7/8 (and gives the song it's title - it's divided in 4 and 3 and ontario plates have four letters and three numbers), then back to 5/4, then a sample i made that i didnt bother calculating the time to. if you care about those things. lotsa phase and a little delay and trem too. sorry bout the crosspost and soundclick link.

Members ginnboonmiller Posted October 6, 2005 Members Share Posted October 6, 2005 I can't wait for you to grow out of this whole minimalist phase, cuz you'll be doing really nice stuff then... By the way, if the 7/8 section is 7/8, then the other section is 5/2, but whatever. The sample is in 9. It reminds me of "Plastic Palace People" by Scott Walker.

Members Montag Posted October 6, 2005 Author Members Share Posted October 6, 2005 also, a question: what makes something minimalist? would it be the simplicity of the melody? the repeating structures? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They teach classes on that, but I tend to think of Minimalism in music (the term is borrowed from painting -- see Bernard Nauman) as the use of repetition in the extreme to present music as process (Steve Reich, Brian Eno) or form (Philip Glass, John Adams). Properly, no melody, no harmonic motion, no nothing. Just repetition or drone. But then you have to get into post-minimalism and {censored} like that. I've been trying very hard lately not to be such a pretentious blowhard, but it doesn't really work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Weatherbox Posted October 6, 2005 Members Share Posted October 6, 2005 I like this. I can hear some great drumming and a really woolly bassline filling it out. Sorta "How Am I Driving?" Radiohead-esque, in a good way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one'd be fun. im hoping for fuzzed out bass in the 7/8 section (in the full arrangement it'll likely go longer and/or come back once or twice - we're looking at long songs in this new band).
