Hello,

A new piece, inspired by my favourite tale. I used to listen Little Tiny on vinyl when I was a child, thats where the smaple is from.
(noo, not the bass drum :-)

Tell me what you think!

Thanks for the listening and the feedback!

I think i got the basdrum from a sample package hosted under files section. "Hardcore kickdrums", someting like that.

Thanks really. Talking about fairy tales, this one is pretty dark except the nice and happy ending. Quite typical about Andersen's stuff IMO.

you know me...always more a fan of the fairy-tale as opposed to creep-show but i like this track.

the only thing that starts to bug me at times is the way your little hatclap loop seems to run askew at the tail-end.
wish you could've sliced it and realigned it.
i generally like stuff when it gets a little "off"... but this didn't quite gel for me>
perhaps alternating it in sections aligned and unaligned?

i really like the vocal sample....and sounds in general.

Garuna:

well then you should know it better

Clay: hmm. now i don'tremember if that clap stuff is mis-aligned on purpose (my humble try to make it "groove" ) or thats one sample with silence in the beginning. I'll have a look sir!

Well, I had a look, and the more i looked the more puzzled I got about what to do. My loops are exactly how they should be (?), everything is quantised to 16th's....I did change the end of every second loop, but I doubt this will make a big difference.

Anyway, thank you all for listening and the comments! For those who are interested (and for those who haven't heard it yet

) theres an updated version.

ooh... nice one! lovely vibe... love the space in the mix, very cinematic... i could picture this in a film (hungarian one probably, judging by the vocals ;).

whoa man... i'm really feeling this. i think i'll have to dig up your email address again : )

Nice track. Reminds me a bit of "Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun." Sounds great. BTW, I noticed that you are using variable bit rate in your MP3 compression. I have had some trouble encoding my tracks in this method, but this track sounds pristine...

Cheers Milan, glad you like it. You guessed right, the sample is from an old hungarian record (tales for children). I was such a stupid fuck to give away all my old vinyl stuff, there were tons of stuff to sample... Thanks for the compliment on my page, yours isn't half bad either I think, but if you want to change colors you can always find a picture you like and then steal the colors with a "color picker" tool in photoshop or whatever. At least this is what I did :-)

Danktle: thanks for listening, I used winlame to encode this one, Average Bitrate (66 kbps on this specific track), MPEG-1 32000 Hz, Stereo, everything else on default.

i haven't touched my vinyl in years and this week i've had 2 offers for my collection.
but no thanks.
perhaps if i have to hit the street they might be difficult to lug around.
but until then.....
i've still got my kiddie records along with my amon duul, can....wire...joe byrd and the field hippies.....tommy james.....and a lot of those old longine symphonette and reader's digest collections...golden memories etc.......

i'd like to spend a year just doing remixes of old fringe pop and classical esoterica.
i'd probably never come back.
samplers can be such dangerous things.

ew rags! I really like the groove of this one. The bass and kick together are quite sick... really insidious vibe. Excellent space and purposeful development... hallmarks of a great track. Got my vote...

Did you do all the drum programming? Very tasteful...

Thanks Psy! Yep, all the drums are programmed by me.
