What's your ideal 45-minute motW live set?

well, what i meant was:

what songs would you like to hear played awesome live? like, hypothetically

I mean sleep is a curse would suck live without a string section, etc etc
 
ferocious weights
heaven and weak
marid's gift of art
gleam in ranks
undine and underwater flowers
pondering a wall
the ferryman
catharsis of seasleep and dreaming shrines
 
Hmm. This'd require a bit of thought. I'm terrible with song titles, so I may have to describe them to you, as when I drive I don't pay attention to song titles- so forgive that please.
I'm sure there are some cool arrangements you could do with portions of pieces incorporated together (sort of a medley of a couple songs, but I hate the word medley).

I'll listen more carefully this weekend and come up with my ideal set on Monday. But off the top of my head, I'd like to see:
Catharsis of a Sea-Sleep & Dreaming Shrines
Secret Song
They Aren't All Beautifull
the one on Bath with the Organ intro (is that the one with the really catchy section toward the end with the 4 tom hits repeated every 2 bars- I think it's in 4/4, with the 4 tom hits on 8th notes every 2 bars) - is that Birth Pains? shit, I'm an idiot. I'll figure out this weekend what ones I'm thinking of.

BTW- is that extra 'l' from Exorcist III? I love that movie. The fish conversation sequence kills me every time.

I love Interlude 1 on Bath- those acoustics sound so real & natural. I hate those acoustic/electrics, esp. like Ovations- they sound so thin; there's nothing like a real acoustic guitar. I'd love to see you guys do an acoustic set of some of those interludes and some of the other songs rearranged.


BTW, this is a great post idea; mind if we steal it? HAHAHA!!! LIKE A THIEF IN THE NIGHT, I AM CATLIKE IN MY SNEAKING ABILITY TO SNEAK!!
 
chupe666, you're thinking of "the ferryman" and its actually in 7/8, not 4/4. unless i'm wrong. im pretty sure tho.
and i agree, "stones" wouldnt go well live. i dont think the crowd would appreciate all those tritones and minor 2nd's
 
I told you I was an idiot. I just turned on your files on mp3.com, and the one with the 4/4 section and the 4 tom hits I was thinking of is Heaven and Weak, around the 6+ minute mark. It may or may not be 4/4, since it comes right after that 13/4 section- and you can basically write any music in any meter you want anyway. Someday I'll write out an entire song in 1/64. Anyway, that song (H&W) rules the shiznit. But I got The Ferryman and Heaven and Weak mixed up a bit, so sorry 'bout that.

And yeah, I love that movie.

Okay, it's not even a 13/4 section. I tried counting it- that's fucked up.
Starting with the solo guitar riff at 5:30, does it go 6-7-6-7-7-6-7-6-7-7-7-7 and then into the 4/4 section with the tom hits?
Or I guess that could be bars of 13-13-13-13-14-14.

I haven't had a theory/composition class in a while, this is fun for me. Albeit remedial for you guys I'm sure...

Yeah, The Ferryman. That's the one with the organ I was thinking of, I guess? Thanks man.
 
Exorcist prequel? And it's basedon the story of Exorcist 2, which isn't part of the Blatty version anyway! I don't know about that. I just don't know at all.

I count the end of HnW like 676776767777 and then into the 4/4/ section for a bit and then back to the 676776767777
 
Yeah, this sounds as if they generated some public interest with the re-release of the film with extra footage a couple of years ago and figured they'd make another film to make some money, even though there is no story to base it on.
Exorcist III is one of my faovorite horror films ever; the dialogue is so intriguing, and the use of music reminds me of Hitchcock films in that it's sparse but effective. Sort of like in North By Northwest, when Cary Grant is out in the middle of nowhere waiting to meet George Kaplan- there's no music through that whole scene, until the plane crashes. Bernard Herrmann is one of my favorites. The use of space is so effective, and the actual music he writes kills me.
 
Undine and Underwater Flowers
Heaven And Weak
The Curve That To An Angle Turn'd
Riseth He, The Numberless pt1 and 2
Chatarsis of a Sea Sleep
Bizarre Flowers/a Violent Mist
Marid's Gift Of Art
Gleam In Ranks
They Aren't All Beautiful

something around this would be great.
 
Slammin drums. Great feel & groove, as well as inventive writing on your part- it's nice to hear a drummer that writes interesting parts.

So forgive me if you've been through the story before... did you have to move or something? And are you doing anything new music-wise?
