Our small tribute to antimatter

[Morpheus]

slowly our Antimatter choir takes shape. I see a problem in rehearsing though.

 

[Maqus]

Everyone can practise their part by themselves, and then we come together for a dress rehearsal.

Or we could do it via msn.

 

[Morpheus]

haha that'd be fun, with headsets on and puzzled eyes behind our backs.

 

[RottenAngel]

a rehearsal via msn would be funny

hey thanks for the input, rottenangel and others :Spin:

so here it is, our "in stone:"

http://users.skynet.be/fa393289/don/Umit, Sencer, Emre - In Stone.mp3

it's 13 mb, so the sound quality is much better than saviour. there are a few noises due to the production in the beginning but it's not that disturbing.

oh and one other funny thing. i didnt know the poem bit in the middle (the one mick wrote...about goals and being carved in stone) by heart (and im really ashamed about that. 'cause it's lovely) so i read a section from pink floyd's "sheep" there.

and as for the credits:

emre - acoustic rhythm guitar, all vocals
sencer - bass
ümit - (fretless) electric lead guitar

ümit used an electric guitar this time so it sounds much better than the first one.

hope you enjoy it and please dont forget to leave comments.

and you know we're always up for an antimatter tribute compilation *hint hint*

oh and susie let me know when you want to upload it. cheers

Great cover !!

 

[Maqus]

I listened to Saviour last night, falling asleep, it was funny with all that tinkling, but I think you have a good voice, as far as I remember at least.

 

[RottenAngel]

in stone is a nice cover too and i agree with maqus, you have a good voice

 

[zupi_clone]

youre in there sir don!

 

[Don Corleone]

im flattered
hope everyone enjoys it.

nobody's mentioning the fretless guitar though? i think my friend did a fantastic job on there. it adds a very peculiar feel to the song.

 

[my dying groom]

Nice ones, Don.

 

[Maqus]

Okay, I listened to In Stone too, but I think Saviour is better, I felt In Stone is out of tune sometimes, though that might be due to the recording. But actually, I don't know why you chose In Stone, one of the hardest songs to give justice to cause it's not as melodic as, for example, Saviour. Your voice is better in Saviour too. It badly needs female vocals though

I'm saying all of this only to balance the flattery

I've only heard fretless guitar once before and it sounded like shite so he's done well.
Is that where you tune it microtonally so it's tuned to its own harmonic value like the human voice?

 

[Maqus]

What does it mean it's tuned to its own harmonic value like the human voice?

 

[Maqus]

I heard fretless bass several times, if that counts, and it sounded not like shite at all, but of course that guy studies jazz and plays in three bands and is a music teacher so he can play well.

 

[Lord_Of_This_World]

Well microtones are small variations in tone that lie between the normal full and half tones.Jaco Pastorius used to use these a lot using harmonics he regulalry used the six harmonic tones that lie between the fifth and second frets of the bass.I don't really know much about fretless guitars all I've read about it is that each one is tuned uniquely and there is a spot on each string where a certain harmonic can be found to which you tune that string.If anyone knows anyone about this can they tell me.It's actually quite interesting.

 

[Lord_Of_This_World]

This explains it better

[Maqus]

It sounds fucking complicated, I mean not for the regular ear. I'm not sure if I could even tell the difference between microtones and the surrounding non-microtones. And how do you tune the other intstruments to it?

you're right, though. im not a vocalist and my voice isnt that good. in stone was actually much harder than saviour for me. it's just that my friend wanted it more than i did. i wanted to do expire.
