Message to the Heart.....

How worthy of you, Dave. Well done.

Thank you!

I agree with the master of dynamics comment. Nice build-up. Cool chord progressions (especially that repeating climbing one). And, of course, unassailable Series tone.

Thanks Will; and yes, I love what this bass makes possible.

Dave:

I've listened to Message To The Heart as well as A Spring Day a number of times. All I can say is that both tunes bring out what I take to be your unique personality and bring me back to a much earlier time when unencumbered by other responsibilities I'd come home from work most days, throw on the headphones and listen to early Weather Report (Weather Report, I Sing the Body electric, & Sweetnighter).

Your work sings and evokes a visual as well as an auditory response.

Thank you Brian! I had hoped that the songs would tell a story; so I greatly appreciate your confirmation.

I wasn't going to upload this one. I recorded it a few weeks ago and then put it aside; but I just listened to it, and it's not too bad. So I thought I would share it with you.

There are some mistakes, so it's not CD worthy; but it's close. And there's some rig noise; I guess at some point I'm going to have to tear apart my rig and see if I can get rid of the noise.

This tune is in two parts; the first part is essentially a prelude, and the second is my arrangement of a song many of you may be familiar with. I would like to see if it's recognizable; so don't look at the name of the song and let me know if you can tell what it is.

Like the others, it's hidden from public view; but you can hear it here.

That was wonderful Dave! Great tone too!

Thanks Art!

Great - I've enjoyed all the stuff you've posted here. The tone is stellar - iconic Alembic sound! Looking forward to you having some public sounds on your soundcloud page!

Thanks Harry! Yeah, I guess I feel like I'm just putting these up temporarily just for you guys and a few other friends until I record better versions. (I wouldn't want the music police to hear this stuff.) But then I've yet to record a finished version of anything.

I think you can post what you have put here publicly with no embarrassment whatsoever. Just put demo or work in progress so people know.

But I know it's a personal decision so do what you feel. Now that I think about it, I slave over my stuff before I put it up, so I can't be the one to tell you to just post anything or how to run your soundcloud page!

What Came Before ` Somewhere

Just beau-ti-full, Dave. Clean up the noise and start releasing these gems. You have arrived in the here and now, brother.
