Title: Something I'm working on for Vol. 3 --- "Our Prayer"...
Post by: b.dfzo on July 06, 2006, 11:58:56 AM
I've only recorded about 30 seconds of it so far...and this is a rough mix version, with added cheesy reverb.  The original wavs are dry as a bone, and can be mixed around to (hopefully) better the sound.  Hopefully I am on the right track with this...though, it is exactly like the original in style.  Maybe I should try something to differentiate it from the norm...?

Very excellent. Wow, I am impressed, with the way you worked the notes, and the timbre of each part. Beautiful phrasing. The reverb gives it the fullness, maybe back off a hair, but not much. How strange to hear only half of the piece. I hope you can match up the volume , attack, phrasing, etc..to the second half, and complete the whole minute -10 sec composition. Really strong work. nice blend.

That's absolutely amazing, sounds almost exactly like the original.

I'm thinking of using "Our Prayer" as an intro into a version of "The Lord's Prayer"...

BTW here is the [as of the moment] somewhat finished "Prayer"...I'd like to add the high Bb toward the end, but I am debating...

And I just noticed, PMcC...by co-inki-dink, this version is exactly 1 minute, 10 seconds.

Or maybe I should use prayer as an intro to an acappella "Lovely Rita"...?

I've decided to use Our Prayer as an intro...to River Song (another Dennis cover).  Vol. 3, here I come.

Wow that was excellent, very very impressive!  I think using it as "you know, a little intro" to River Song will be cool too.

This is harder than I thought it would be, regarding "River Song".  I am finding it quite difficult to make myself sound like a black gospel choir!  But, then, I am also trying to sound like Dennis on the lead vocal, and people might not like that, for whatever reason...maybe if I could get a choir on loan...?  And someone who sounds exactly like Dennis.  LOL.
