Soundscape Studios. Posted October 27, 2003 Share Posted October 27, 2003 Hey steadyb - unbelivable job! You really have a good touch! If it's not too much trouble, I just wanted to add this bit about my piece: "Hatikvah" is the Israeli national anthem. After coming home one night and learning that a suicide bomber had killed 20 people on the block that I had lived for 2 years, I was unable to find solace in anything but music. The resulting track is what came out of the feelings I was experiencing at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Bryce Posted October 28, 2003 Author Share Posted October 28, 2003 Steve J - One last change, if you please.... I switched my piece and Steve LeBlanc's piece. He's now third, and I'm now fifth. It flows better... The list in the first post in this thread has been updated accordingly.

The main thing I like is you can do transparency, drop shadow, & feather (Photoshop effects) right in the program. Yet it seems to have all the great layout features of Quark & not as ugly a piece of software the way Illustrator is.

b_3guy Posted October 31, 2003 Share Posted October 31, 2003 Originally posted by marino: Here's a new version of my credits, with the notes shortened. If it's still to much, feel free to just skip the notes. _______________________________________________ "Lucy in the Sky with Bartok" ("Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" by Lennon - McCartney) Carlo Mezzanotte, piano and piano arrangement Yamaha C3 Conservatory grand piano, recorded with a Neumann stereo mic, thru a tube preamp into Cubase SX. We added a *very* slight EQ and a tiny bit of Lexicon 480 reverb. Recording engineer: Alessandro Guardia Notes: I've always admired Bela Bartok's ability to take simple popular melodies and arrange them with striking modern harmonies, but leaving their original strenght and clarity intact. I've often wondered what he would have done if confronted with some of today's best pop melodies, the Beatles in particular. So I just thought to arrange "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" in Bartok's style. it's mostly in odd signatures - 5 for the verse, 7 for the chorus, with a few twists in the middle.Done Steve www.seagullphotodesign.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b_3guy Posted October 31, 2003 Share Posted October 31, 2003 Originally posted by Dave Bryce: Steve - The art looks great, as usual! My only comment is that the additional thoughts that I put in the thread concerning why I chose to submit the piece weren't really intended to go in the notes - they were just sort of an FYI. I suppose it'd have been a better idea to have put them in a different thread... Anyway, if you need space, or wanna change to a larger font, feel free to remove that part from my notes. As always, thanks for your efforts! dBThere's room as you can see for these notes. The font size is 6, I've even used 5 on CD's before, so the font is big enough. But if you want to edit, please feel free & let me know. Steve www.seagullphotodesign.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marino Posted October 31, 2003 Share Posted October 31, 2003 Thanks again Steve! Just one remark: Do you think the page with the details of each song will be readable? It looks so small and stuffed. Maybe we could skip the 'personal' notes, leaving just the technical info (instrument used, etc.). Or we could rewrite the notes, restricting ourselves to a couple of lines each. If, on the other hand, you think it would be OK to leave it like it is, please just ignore me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve LeBlanc Posted October 31, 2003 Share Posted October 31, 2003 Carlo, from my limited experience with graphics, I think those credits will read just fine as is...I used smaller text on the inside of my CD and it is easy to read for most. I like all of the track notes...personalizes a lot of the songs in a cool way. http://www.youtube.com/notesleb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurie Z. Posted November 1, 2003 Share Posted November 1, 2003 Hey Steve - nice job. I'd definitely recommend you for album graphic work. Thanks also for updating my info. The only suggestion I have, if it's not too late, is to add play times to the tray card song list, and possibly also to the booklet song list as well. Definitely at least on the tray card - it helps to know how long the play time is for each track. Good job! lz www.lauriez.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
