I realize that listener fatigue is a clear and present danger at the moment you're mentioning in my piece. To add insult to injury, I'm doubling down on those synthetic deep toms and adding 4dB to them with all of the other stuff that's going on. It's so wrong, not by the book at all, and definitely not anything a mix engineer would approve of (hopefully some listeners will!
)So the rhythm section isn't pretty at that point, and I'd hate to lose the listener before the last part - but in my head it's part of the grand scheme, so I'll probably stick to my guns (I'm a stubborn, old bastard
). I was hoping the fanfare synthpet during the last huzzah would ease the pain. If you'll allow for some artsy pretentiousness; that's sort of where I say that, well, this might not be a pretty picture that you want to hang on your wall, but I hope it still adds something to the artistic value.Which it, of course, also might not...
(I hope this isn't too self-indulgent - talking so much about me and my own piece. I rather thought we touched on some interesting, general aspects of music making - hopefully others will feel the same way)
(also, interesting OT, doctor! Well, fascinating and quite impressive, actually!
)
