TMV World Legacy Member Anthony Posted June 17, 2015 TMV World Legacy Member Share Posted June 17, 2015 I played in the piano through my MIDI keyboard and programmed the bass and drum parts. The arrangement I did was in Gmin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMV World Legacy Member MDEW Posted June 17, 2015 TMV World Legacy Member Share Posted June 17, 2015 I have been playing it on my guitar in Am.....The chord voicing is easier.....I may have to tune down a whole step. The song itself seems softer and more personal in Gm. Thanks for letting me know. "You need a strong foundation to reach the heights." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TMV World Legacy Member MDEW Posted June 20, 2015 TMV World Legacy Member Share Posted June 20, 2015 I thought I would give Autumn Leaves a shot. I tried Jazz for a while and that was just not happening. My internal rhythm is out of phase with Jazz. So here it is If Bob Dylan or maybe Arlo Guthrie had written it.........

TMV World Legacy Member Anthony Posted June 23, 2015 TMV World Legacy Member Share Posted June 23, 2015 Some brilliant entries so far!!MDEW - Very nice arrangement, it creates a unique angle to the lyrics. Will the finished version have percussion? I can definitely hear space for shakers and light drumming (maybe bongos). Magika - That a really professional sounding recording! Love your voice and the original french lyrics. Did you record this at a studio? Ugonna - Brilliant work. I like the variations you add 1:20 onwards. The melody you sing at "my darling" at 2:00 is so good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The melody you sing at "my darling" at 2:00 is so good! thank you very much for your nice review! It's a home-recording done with the MaxBookPro version of GarageBand and the T.bone SC 440 USB mic.

TMV World Legacy Member KillerKu Posted June 24, 2015 TMV World Legacy Member Share Posted June 24, 2015 I've been away (in the process of moving and non online related issues), but decided to catch up a bit on this stuff. MDEW - This is actually a quite nice arrangement and you interpreted it well. I feel like I'm hearing some progress in your vocal development too, a bit more confidence and depth to the timbre, while still very identifiably you. Ugonna - That was adventuresome and spontaneous. Melodically things got pretty twisty. I like how you kept the melody fresh by including a lot more improvisational things. You weren't close miced, so you wouldn't have the 'studio' sound of some of the other singers. At some point it might be worth trying that if you have not as some of the richness of your timbre may be lost in that setup there. Magika - You sound pretty much flawless to me on a technical level and I could likely hear this recording and not have anything noticeably off in a radio kind of setting, but at the same time, it sounds 'lived in.' That's one of my favorite qualities of your singing. Even on a studio sounding recording it's hard to take some of the 'human' feeling warmth out of your performances. I can't imagine you sounding sterile.Bono - Never heard you take on jazz but your voice is wonderful for it. You have that round timbre with a very identifiable texture. It's silky and stirs the song up nice. I think singing jazz could be great for your development as the meter and phrasing add another dimension that isn't often there in pop/rock.
