Poseidon: Fantasia for Piccolo Bass
« on: December 14, 2011, 03:46:14 PM »
Avast ye keepers of the golden keel...I posted the title track from this a couple months ago with the promise of more, so...here's a couple more tracks. The album's done and it'll be on iTunes in the next week or two. In the meantime, feel free to dl these if you wish.  
 
First, track five, Mariner #4.

It's quirky.  
 
Second, track 2, Bay of 7 Moons.  
 
It's slow, deep, transcendent.

There's other stuff too.  
 
Here's the cover:

This is what I was shooting for...not too hard to play...but sounds good.

That's a significantly degraded version of the cover, btw...the art direction actually is really great.

Cool music - listening to the other stuff and liking it too.  Makes me want to do some more recording.  Inspirational for sure!

I was simply looking for some stuff to get down that I can perform live or have been performing live, but not quite in finished form. Also initially the title track was really the focus, but after I finished that, the other tracks became their own thing too...

I want to listen, but I'm scared off by the Sign up with facebook note; can I sign up for Soundcloud w/out facebook?

Peter, I don't think you have to sign up for anything.  When you click on the link and the page opens, you should be able to just click on the play button.

That would freak me out too, but, like Dave says, you should be able to listen w/o doing that. At least I hope so....I do have a Facebook account, but the two aren't linked in any way.

I've done that with just about every Soundcloud anyone's linked, Dave, but have yet to hear note one; the play button is there, but clicking it accomplishes naught.  When I click on the sign-up, the facebook logo is the firast thing there, thus my trepidation.  Maybe one of these days I'll work the courage to try it, but SWMBO has a FB account, & now it's giving her friends she never selected, so..........

Peter; I ran a search.  Some things to try.
- Try a different browser if you have one.
- If you a have an add-on like flashblock, add soundcloud to your white list.
- Make sure Flash is updated.
 
That's all I found.  My very uneducated guess is it's a flash issue; that it needs updating or it's being blocked.  Hope that helps.

Someone else told me that once; that clicking on the button didn't do anything. I always assumed it was a browser type of thing. I bet Soundcloud would know...

Google Chrome is a wonderful browser, if you're shopping around...
