Evolver, the icing on my 5 year old song.

Evolver, the icing on my 5 year old song.

2003-04-15 by nasbido

Hey Hey,

This weekend I finished up a song named "brood" I've been banging on 
for over 5 years. Over that time there has always been a whole in this 
song. I've tried all kinds of instrument, electronic ( I have 40+ synths, 
sorry) and acoustic. I've also had friend try to get something going, and 
my wife who is a great keyboardist. I had given up on the track.
Last week I was adding a few acoustic drum tracks to brood, and had my 
Evolver sitting in front of me and though I would mess with it a bit. THE 
FIRST PATCH OF THE FIRST KEY I HIT WAS PERFECT, well 
except for a little distortion, and aftertouch to amplitude and envelope.
Here is the weirdness. The song is in the key of A. The patch was 
bouncing from A to C and gave the song a great minorish feel. The tempo 
of the song is 80 bpm and the tempo of the patch synced up perfectly 
without even using a midi clock. Freakin' Cool.
So after all this ramblin' here is a rough, mix of the song.

The Evolver sound is the swirling distortion on the sides. It swells in 
between words and verses. You can't miss it.. Once again this is a rough 
mix (Dry Vocals). Mp3 128k kills this song.

I'd love some feedback, especially if it is negative. 
The project name is "dk; dark"

soon,
