pirates (of the carrib) mod snippets

SouthPark

Was just tinkering with this one yesterday. I know how the tune goes, but just going to deviate a bit from the path - as usual. Just getting more ideas together. Each one just slightly different. More and more adjustments (mods) along the way. I put this link inside the 'real or not srh1840' thread already. But going to share here too.

The abbreviation should be 'caribb' (not carrib) heheh.

will southpark play that "try hard" version by radnich. 🙃

SouthPark

kawafanboi Know what you mean KFB hehe! I will forever remember this particular description. I like that description hahaha. I think I would only play the parts of his arrangement minus those scale run things at around 1min 12 seconds (up to 1min 28s) of somebody's re-run version of jarrod's arrangement. Popping those runs in is just too over-the-top. Interesting though. Once I get something nice going, and longer - with more of the pirates tune, I'll share a much nicer development of mine, after some more tinkering and refinements.

Just adding another shorty - another very rough sketch - but with the bosie sound, which is the rounded super-mute sound. And just staying with the 'colonial' ballade sort of tone.

Going back to the 'CFX' again to update one portion. And excuse the 'typo' where I struck a wrong note somewhere. This sort of sets up with the next bit of pirates tune - where there will be at least some mods to be done.

One extra 'variant' (mutation). This one is a nice airy one.

simple tunes are way catchier. i can't even remember most the complex ones off the top of my head. i wonder why that is😗

SouthPark

kawafanboi Know what you mean KFB! It's a huge win already if we remember certain parts of music we like. And after enough time - the more time we use to remember some seemingly simple essences, the stronger that essence can become. It can grow and evolve in interesting and wonderful ways.

Totally agree. In the huge amounts of music out there ….. it's certain patterns from various music that catch attention. It's certain master strokes in musical riff and/or progression thought up by people (composers etc) out there … past and present … that provide various musical gems for us to remember and enjoy, and even to do something more with in our musical playgrounds.

Forgot to add - some nice counterpoint as well, sometimes.

SouthPark i have trouble listening to the peak counterpoint era. it kind of gnaws at you like a mosquito, gets closer, flys away, gets closer, flys away. 😗 BBBZZZZZZz zzzzzzzzzzzz BBBBBZZZZZzzzzZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz . z.z.z. .z.z.z.z

kawafanboi hehehe ….. totally with you on that. That's what happens when they find a new 'toy' … eg. counterpoint, or even fast finger scale and/or arpegg etc exercises, and/or trills etc. They can go overboard with it.

I don't mind trills, but have a feeling that they had to use them in the older days because harpsi and clavcords etc didn't have the benefits of our huge sounds and amazing nuances in our digi and acoustic pianos these days. So they had to embellish in other ways to keep something rolling along. Although, in some cases, trilling (even long ones) strategically included in just the right spots can be elegant ….. beautiful. In moderation is good. It's when stuff is overdone, over the top, overplayed etc that probably leads to some staleness, rejection, withdrawal symptoms etc.

Oh geez …… we got heaps of mosquitoes sometimes over here. Our number one defense is an awesome time tested product ….. Aerogard. Awesome product. Even comes in odorless form these days. Keeps those mozzies right at bay. Also works excellently against 'sandflies' aka coastal/mangrove midges.

this year's weather is supposed to get super crazy, exceed 1.5 C rise over industrial average in the pacific ocean.

we'll probably get another zika virus or something.

SouthPark

kawafanboi oh geez …… we haven't got cases like that yet over here. But wouldn't be surprised if zika really gets here eventually! Thanks (or no thanks) to Murphy!!! We do have other stuff here though … eg. ross river fever and dengue fever. Nasty on the body. Was just reading up on zika a moment ago after seeing 'zika' in your post. Nasty one too!
