Bent Ears - Fife Ore

Yeah, so its been a while since I posted music. Actually its been a while since I posted anything. I'm working with my brother on the soundtrack/score for an animated hi-fantasy IMAX film which is currently in preproduction. As the filmmakers come up with storyboards, outlines and scripting, we modify the score as we get new info. Anyway, this piece is not a part of the score we are working on. About 22 years ago, I was in a short-lived band with a guy who fancied himself a keyboard player but actually trained as a trumpet player. He came up with a certain riff which we briefly tried to do something with but he abandoned it. I didn't. The groove has been percolating around in my mind for a couple of decades and I finally decided to try to get it out. As I said in my profile, many of the pieces of music here in my 'cast are pieces of improv with not too much of the originally-imagined music showing up in the final work. Not so with this one. I carefully broke down the piece as I heard it in my head and laid it out painstakingly track for track. This most recent piece is the culmination of about 40 hours of work. The title is a play on words. If you know anything about music, you'll get it. If you don't, contact me and I'll tell you; I'm not typing it here. LINER NOTES This is a fully sequenced piece. 8 Tracks recorded in Cool Edit Pro but sequenced on the ESQ1 which drove the Halo. Not too much pan info was used, but there was quite a bit of track for track EFX prior to the final mixdown to stereo. The spacy intro was created with a program called Coagula, recorded in CEP and EFX'd heavily.
