well we just started like yesterday--well a little futher back than that. we're having a recording session hopefully this week so the MIDI file we have on our site right now will be transformed into a wonderful sounding soung rather than in incantation from a bull--sorry i hate MIDIs. anyways tell me what you think and stuff. the MIDI isn't the best thing in the world--use your imagination until the real thign arrives soon. http://www.myspace.com/oceanblueoasis - www.myspace.com/oceanblueoasis ------------- I'm a reasonable man, get off my case |

so it's 100% percent official--we will be recording that track and a few more tracks during the course of this week--because of the amount of writing we have done and what we're capable of, it's very possible we could have our whole record at least base-recorded by the end of this or next week. Take a listen to the MIDI though and leave the best suggestions you can based on that...MIDIs kinda suck though... ------------- I'm a reasonable man, get off my case |

I like what I hear so far. But, I'm at work in a noise place & my hearing isn't what it used to be. I rely heavily on MIDI to get my musical ideas across - because my playing skills are quite poor. I use Cubase to record my stuff with VSTi's. My strength (such as it is) is in composition, not in performance. Consequently, I use the PC to realize my musical ideas. I will write a more thorough review once I'm able to listen without external interuptions. What I have heard sounds very good. Don't apologize for/about MIDI. If it allows you to get your ideas across, then all the better. IMO, I don't really care how the music is made if I like it. ------------- David - Never doubt in the dark that which you believe to be true in the light. http://www.myspace.com/aardvarktxusa - Instrumental rock http://www.soundclick.com/aardvarktxusa |

thanks man--thre only reason i apologized for it is because the real version--which we are recording next week--will sound so much better, and because not many peopel on myspace use MIDIs. I'm glad i'm not a lone though, and there will be many more used as we write and learn the songs. I think of it like this: we are artists that literally write our own music and perform it, so there's some proof of our musical knowledge--rather than relying on innate musical prescence, which we also have, we are able to put our ideas down onto paper, which not many artists do these days. ------------- I'm a reasonable man, get off my case |

of course...we've hit a snag.one of my friends that was supposed to play the violin solos has...well he can no longer play them. i'm searching around our area--preferably our school--for someone willing to play the part and record it with us. plus, i've written 4 more songs. i haven't decided if i'm making MIDIs of them yet though. it depends. if i do, you can look for them to be posted on the site. ocean song is a great track, and it's rather frustrating how wrong everything's going... ------------- I'm a reasonable man, get off my case |
