Musicians, what's "your" favorite track uploaded

Jennae	Date: September 3, 2003 @ 6:01 PM I was wondering what other musicians think are their personal best tracks that they have uploaded on dmusic. I have a few I'm still trying to decide between... but what's yours and why?
JFF	Date: September 3, 2003 @ 6:03 PM tricky one that.. I can't decide either..
Veracohr	Date: September 3, 2003 @ 6:39 PM You mean what I think is my own best song?
fireball87	Date: September 3, 2003 @ 6:43 PM eh... i don't know... wait... thats easy... my bros song is the best one i uploaded heh heh...
Jennae	Date: September 3, 2003 @ 6:55 PM yes veracohr what is YOUR personal favorite of YOUR songs you uploaded. I've narrowed it down to three but still trying to decide
Veracohr	Date: September 3, 2003 @ 6:57 PM Well my personal favorite is "Anamnesis".
Jennae	Date: September 3, 2003 @ 8:40 PM why??? any particular reason??
4H2SO4	Date: September 3, 2003 @ 8:51 PM My favorite would be "I Love You" It was 4:00 A.M. when I wrote it and I was kind of in a daze...I wanted to go to sleep but I would've forgotten the few lines I had in my head, then I sat down to put them on paper and a whole song spilled out-
Veracohr	Date: September 3, 2003 @ 8:51 PM For one thing, I'm proud of it. I think it's a pretty good piece of sound design. (Trying not to sound too self-important ;) ) It's certainly not a typical song; its intent, if there is one, is in the blend of sounds rather than the melodies and harmonies. Also, it comes closest to describing what influenced it, which in this case is an emotion. Of sorts. Maybe an emotion/mode of thought/nebulous memory sort of mental activity. Most of my songs I make attempting to put my mental detritus into sound, and that is accomplished at varying levels. "Anamnesis" is the closest to what I was trying to make it out of all my songs." id="61064">Sorry, forgot the "why". For one thing, I'm proud of it. I think it's a pretty good piece of sound design.

Acumen	Date: September 3, 2003 @ 10:20 PM mine would be Witness, which happens to be my featured track. Everytime I'm on a keyboard or on a piano I can't help but play this song, and throw in a few variations of it. though there are a few songs that are coming close and my end up bumping it, but it hasn't happened yet.
wailingmiserere	Date: September 3, 2003 @ 10:46 PM Probably 'Gone Five' because it's the most experimental thing I've written, and it's a got a really long, improvised, completely over the top piano solo at the end
ronnie71	Date: September 3, 2003 @ 10:58 PM zip, zero, none...not my favorite anyway.. will have my favorite up soon..hopefully with the video.
GeneHilbert	Date: September 3, 2003 @ 11:04 PM Taste Great, Full of Phat, & Sticks to your Ribs. Just kidding.... - there is a chromatic lick for 3 guitars in the middle and end that just kills. Start on Gtr. 1 plays "D" Gtr. 2 a "F#" & Gtr. 3 an "A". The progression is a whole step down - half step up. 2 measures long in 16 notes at 100bpm. You are playing parallel major chords in 16ths. I had never play it 'til I was recording. You just never know what might happen. " id="61096"> "Bisquits & Gravy" Taste Great, Full of Phat, & Sticks to your Ribs.

Jennae	Date: September 3, 2003 @ 11:34 PM " id="61103"> hey gene is there another "dumb musician plays by ear" translation of that post for me
ronnie71	Date: September 4, 2003 @ 12:27 AM Gene thats cool who here can say they can do that i can barely play sixteenth notes much less parallel major chords btw is that the same as a polychord ... for all of them to fit would you have to be playing in the key of D... i think D,F#, and A are in the key of D my problem i use shapes not notes.
dsch	Date: September 4, 2003 @ 12:33 AM None of my tracks were recorded particularly well, which is definitely a shame. Particularly in classical music, recording quality can affect what you hear and what you don't hear, which has everything to do with the complexity of the piece. I think that the best piece of mine is probably the trio movement, which I have as my featured track. It's my newest complete piece, and therefore it's more compositionally experienced than the other things up there. It was also worked on under the assistance of a teacher, so the guidance undoubtedly improved it. Sentimentally, though, "When Night Meets Day" is a favorite. That was the first piece of mine that was ever played, and the particular recording online is the recording of that premiere concert. It may have literally been recorded in a barn, and the heat may have literally warped the tape, but it's my debut as a composer, and it makes me happy.
Jesuszilla	Date: September 4, 2003 @ 6:56 PM I can't stand listening to any of mine. I'm only young though so I couldn't really give a poop, I've got loads of time to get better.
GeneHilbert	Date: September 6, 2003 @ 1:25 PM Tonic=Root Played by Gtr 1. [D C Db B C Bb B A Bb Ab A G Ab Gb G E] The 3rd is played by Gtr. 2. [F# E F D# E D D# C# D C C# B C Bb B G#] The 5th is played by Gtr. 3. [A G Ab F# G F F# E F Eb E D Eb Db D B] Because of the distorted tone used on the recording - I used 3 separate gtr. trax. Intervals this close together would have been very muddy and really would have sounded like shit. Theory note: This is considered parallel movement. All the notes are moving in the same direction and maintaining the same intervallic relationship or distance from each other throughout. Parallel 3rds are good. Parallel 5ths & 8th (Octaves) are considered bad composition because of the openness of the sound. I get away with it since there are 2 sets of stacked 3rds. But rules are meant to be broken (Shit Happens) and if it's good enough for Wes Montgomery then it's good enough for me." id="61478"> Dumb musicians - hmmmmm? Not on this site. I am not familiar with the term "polychord". Poly meaning more than one - and a chord is any combination of 3 or more notes. The term would apply. The chord progression built on the major triad would be. Tonic=Root Played by Gtr 1. [D C Db B C Bb B A Bb Ab A G Ab Gb G E] The 3rd is played by Gtr. 2.

monsquaz	Date: September 6, 2003 @ 1:30 PM I still cannot find any more satisfaction in any other song of mine than "I Am Not Bob Marley". I just loved the way it turned out.
viltsuh	Date: September 7, 2003 @ 5:39 AM My best would be "Hallucination Jobs".
