Dave Bryce Posted November 7, 2002 Author Share Posted November 7, 2002 Originally posted by Tusker: Originally posted by Dave Bryce: Jerry, thank you again...hey, here's another idea - perhaps you might be coerced into writing the intro paragraph for the inside of the CD sleeve, like Dan South did for the last compilation - are you game? dBDave, thank you. I'd be honoured to try. If it ain't pretty you can always chuck it or re-write it. When do you need it?Cool!!! Well, I'm probably going to send off the finished master disc on Monday to be duped, and I believe that Steve Jordan is doing the artlayout this weekend, so sooner would probably be better than later... Steve can probably give you a better idea of what the length needs to be...IIRC, you didn't get a copy of V3, so maybe either Steve or Dan can send you a copy of what Dan wrote for that one, if you wish. Plus, what you say is what we'll print - I've been reading your writing for a while now, and I'm certain that whatever you write will be more than adequate. Thanks, Jerry! I'm glad that you're into it! dB ==> David Bryce Music • Funky Young Monks <== Professional Affiliations: Royer Labs • Music Player Network Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b_3guy Posted November 7, 2002 Share Posted November 7, 2002 I dig out the file tonight. It'll tell me how many words were used in the last one. Yoiu can use that for a guide. And we are on target for doing the layout this weekend. Steve www.seagullphotodesign.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lrossmusic Posted November 7, 2002 Share Posted November 7, 2002 In the meantime, if you want anything about your name or the title of your piece to be changed, speak now. I'd like mine to read: A Mother's Love - L.Ross w/Kristen Guldseth 2:58 Thanks Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intheether Posted November 7, 2002 Share Posted November 7, 2002 Steve, I emailed you at your yahoo address, but maybe you don't check it so often...just in case, can you please put "astor" in all lowers? Although I kind of dig the caps on the "s"...I'm just trying to keep it consistant with what my graphic guy is doing for my disc cover. Thanks! * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Addix Metzatricity Posted November 7, 2002 Share Posted November 7, 2002 Originally posted by IanD: I think Dave should get some recognition in Keyboard magazine for the work he has put in on this. I wonder what is the chance of Keyboard doing a feature on the forum CD? IanI was having that exact same thought... What are the chances of that actually happening? Not only would it showcase unsigned musicians, but it would show the mag readers who DON'T come to this forum exactly what they're missing.

b_3guy Posted November 9, 2002 Share Posted November 9, 2002 Tusker, the word count on the last CD was 346. If you happen to be a little more wordy than Dan was, you could go to 400 words. Steve www.seagullphotodesign.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Bryce Posted November 9, 2002 Author Share Posted November 9, 2002 Originally posted by IanD: I wonder what is the chance of Keyboard doing a feature on the forum CD?I can ask - I'll be talking to John Krogh this week. I'm actually doing the final listen-through of the master CD right now, and let me just say that the level of talent demonstrated in this disc is mind-blowing - not just songwriting and performance, but recording chops as well. I'm really pleased with this one... dB ==> David Bryce Music • Funky Young Monks <== Professional Affiliations: Royer Labs • Music Player Network Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tusker Posted November 14, 2002 Share Posted November 14, 2002 Originally posted by b_3guy: Tusker, the word count on the last CD was 346. If you happen to be a little more wordy than Dan was, you could go to 400 words.Well, I came in at a little less. 174 words: At first glance, the album you hold in your hand may seem like a diverse set of music. And indeed it is. It's tracks range from electronic power-pop to a jazz fusion romp to a frenetic acoustic piano trio. But dig in a little closely and you will notice some consistent themes emerging. Firstly, every one of these musicians is consciously playing further than the norm. Either attempting to extend popular music idiom or their personal boundaries. Secondly, along with keyboards, these songs feature a new “instrument” in music making: the computer-based studio which is rapidly synthesizing the previously distinct processes of composing, performing and producing together into one creative effort. Finally, you'll notice that this is the product of a vibrant community that spans the miles from the US, to Europe, to South America to Australia. Brought together together by new attitudes about what technology can enable us to do together … to put a fresh spin on music. I hope you enjoy spinning this disc as much as I do. Jerry Aiyathurai I hope that's ok. Feel free to revise, reject or add to that fellas. Jerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intheether Posted November 14, 2002 Share Posted November 14, 2002 Jerry - that is awesome! Profound yet succinct. I love it and Steve's cover, too...now I really can't wait to get this disc in my paws! * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Llarion Posted November 15, 2002 Share Posted November 15, 2002 Very very nice indeed, but one teeny thing, if I may: At first glance it seems to imply that we're all PC-based recording... My setup is an outboard hard disk recorder, a Korg D1600; and while it's a DOS-compatible file format, it's most certainly not a PC. Though, I do use my PC for final mastering, so I guess I still fit the description. Perhaps it's a nit-pick, but it could be interpreted differently than you mean... Cheers!

Jazzman Posted November 15, 2002 Share Posted November 15, 2002 The write-up really says it all, and is flattering to say the least, captures the essence of the whole project, professionalism, talent, imagination, composition, and world participation. None of my work is PC related though. DA88's, through an analog mixing board, to DAT and then to the CD burner. Folks....Is my submission in the wrong place?????? Was it to be "PC" driven song?

It's exactly where it belongs - between Lincoln's tune and Paul III's tune. There were no requirements other than they material basically be keyboard oriented, and under or close to 4:30. You're in fine shape, JM. dB ==> David Bryce Music • Funky Young Monks <== Professional Affiliations: Royer Labs • Music Player Network Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps it's a nit-pick, but it could be interpreted differently than you mean...Yeah, I feel similar... While Jerry's liner notes are really excellent, and while I certainly am a full-time user of the home studio, my song in particular is very "acoustic" in nature, and not a product of the "composing at the computer" concept at all. Maybe a simple little change like, "MANY of these songs..." would be welcome by the "loud minority" of us who didn't use the computer to create their contribution. That said, I can't wait to have this little thing in my hands!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tusker Posted November 16, 2002 Share Posted November 16, 2002 Sounds fair fellas. Thanks to all who provided feedback. Here is my revised liner note: At first glance, the album you hold in your hand may seem like a diverse set of music. And indeed it is.
