Greetings,
The thing is that when I started working on this tune - I wasn't planning on a bass part - it was going to be all electronic - the sci-fi interlude theme etc.
Regarding the length of the "intro" - well it actually wasn't an intro - and was never planned to be an intro. I can see how it might seem like an intro since the bass part follows - more conventional.
Hi sewa - you should pick up the bass again - says the bass player. Recording it is always a challenge. In fact, I haven't been able to record all of the sounds I use yet.
Hi Stephen - Glad you like my bass "chill" style
Hi George - Good comment on the chapter vs prologue! I did go back and forth during mixing - after i recorded the bass part - trying to decide if I should have an intro or a chapter as you say. The thing is that I felt there was too much difference in the Efx sections that I couldn't mix them to reduce the length without mangling it. Then I almost ditched the bass section completely.
I also like your comment on the "free form" - free from traditional metering etc ... that was the original intent of the whole piece - but I ended up with the hybrid - which I figured not everyone would dig. But thats okay - I don't like to fit in the box anyways

Thank you for your thoughts!
Oh yes - @ 3:45 is a huge opportunity to develop more - I think I will revisit this later - after I purge it from my brain
Hi chordial - Glad you liked it - thanxs for listening.
Hi Diego - I guess they are in a sense - but there is a flow so to speak. I could've blended as you suggest - but my inspiration went the other way.
Hi jazlover - Glad you are back on the scene as they say! Glad you like this tune - although it isn't my favorite. Yes - there are loads of open space here - the thing is that no matter what voice I choose - it always sounds like me playing. I will revisit this - much later in time - before I post to my Soundclick spot.
Thanxs for all your comments!!
