Four Chord Flower Song
March 13, 2012 11:58 AM
For the March challenge, the four chords of pop success arranged in a slow sort of orchestral ambient thingy.
This is the first iteration. I need to keep working this idea. I think the strings are a bit too heavy-handed (they at least need better arranging then just me spamming the chords on my keyboard).
What I really want to do is work in more single instruments to slowly fill out the chord progression without being too obvious. The strings are maybe a little too obvious.

Thanks! Yesh, I loves me some pizzicato. Another reason why I think the bowed parts need to go...they kind of sit on the pizz bits.

ever tried something like paulstretch? I occasionally use that to create pad sounds out of shorter samples. might provide a feel similar to strings but... not.

Corduroy I am seriously contemplating your Enya challenge but first I must go to my parents' house and raid their Enya albums collection

I think you should seriously up the Enya on this.
If I ever make my own deck of Oblique Strategies cards, this is going in there.

Ooh, MeFi project idea: MetaFilter member sourced Oblique Strategies deck. I would totally buy that.

dubold: I hope you don't mind, I got so excited by the idea of MetaFilter inspired OS that I posted it to MetaTalk (and referenced you).
