Question For Jem About Milliontown ending!

I was just listening to this and Hyperventilate started playing over it, just off time; I didn't notice initially because it just sounded like you'd put the Hyper intro in like some kind of free jazz reference  :mrgreen:

[Pedro]

Weird when that happens, right? (although I do keep noodling the HyperV bit cos it's one of the few Frost*ie things I can actually play!)

(Still braced by the way....I think cramp is going to set in soon...)

[catherine]

Do you have a midi file or similar of it, Pedro?
A couple of things leapt out at me yesterday - I'm dying to have a fiddle... (robotics preparations for Singapore permitting)

[Jim Takacs]

So, for the first time in nearly 3 years, here it is (if this Soundclick thingy wotsit works)...Frost*Endos!

I Love the Chording you did on this!  The key change of sorts at the end was Killer too! This should be developed fully!  

[Pedro]

Hmm...not been asked to do that before.
Did you want any particular bit or shall I try to send the whole thing?

EDIT: I've sent you a midi file - channel allocations might be screwy depending on your sound sources. Good luck!

[rogerg]

can you post it?  or send it to me and I can, I have scads of space.

[Pedro]

Sent, and it's tiny really...and not perfectly formed either...    

[rogerg]

here it is, for anyone else that wants to jump in!

Banjo/ homemade lap steel at the ready! 8-)

[Pedro]

Thanks Rog.

If anyone is trying to make sense of the midi file, I think the channel assignments are something like :-

1 Electic piano intro
2 Acoustic guitar at the end of the intro
3 Bass
4 Organ Verse#1
6 Guitar solo last verse
9 Choir last verse
10 Drums

In the meantime, I'm tinkering with the idea a bit, giving it a bit of a face list for 201...knowing the kind of talent we have out there I think the original is a bit..."pedestrian". I'd like to keep the anthemic "Endos" feel for the closing section but I think we need a bit more of an up-beat sandbox for peeps to kick around in in the middle.
I'd like to get a rough taster up in a day or so but, I said similar things 3 years ago!!  :roll:
After that, maybe, I'll try to workout the overall framework so that people can see if they want to do anything with it.

Ooh, careful with that thing in your lap else Pedro will need to write a counter-tenor part for you.

[sawtooth]

Ooooh I remember this Pedders!  And I'm sorry I wasn't more on the ball in trying to help taking the idea forward back in '07    In fact my MiniMe remix is still gathering dust in my laptop - I'm obviously one of those people who never quite get around to completing stuff ...

It's great to see it getting a new lease of life, and that it's being listened to with lots of new sets of ears! I still think the leccy piano at the start is killer - the the way you've written new or augmented chords under the melody is inspired.

Go Frost*ies, go!  

[Pedro]

Thanks Sawtooth,sir.
They're only budget chords I've buffed up a bit.

As for your OtherMe, you *really* should consider dusting it off, I found the snippet you sent me 3 years back and it is bally good!  

[gav]

Hmmm, any chance of sharing this snippet?

[Pedro]

That would be entirely up to Sawtooth.
If it were me, I'd rather deliver a whole piece.
