Here it is
I decided to find chords that were both inside and outside and honor Olymoon in the process because as @SpyFx ✪ ✓ mentioned, after all, this who this thread is dedicated to.
Because Oly and I had so many private bass discussions in PM, I chose to put a played and real fretless bass as the melody, and make it a combination of haunting, ethereal, spacey, sometimes musical, sometimes dissonant, sometimes a touch of beauty, sometimes a touch of ugly, sometimes a touch of WTF. We are and were both bassists as a main instrument. this is a complete replacement of the prior tune.

The bass was done in only two takes. The first to create the pale blue dot and all the descriptions above, the second to go awol and improvise madly inside and outside. I won;t apologize for the lack of being a perfect mix, that is not the point of this tune, the music is. Yo ucan hear everything, that suffices. I also make no apologies for the fully comprovisation nature of the fretless either. yes, the more rhythmic bassline pedal tones are on purpose. i also can't apologize for the 3kHz and harshness I cut back that soundcloud unmagically put back. Any other flaw is all mine.

To you OLY wherever you are

@Somnambulist definitely way better than the first one musically imo; very psychedelic, almost new age-y. i like the drums the most as it progresses, very loose, jazzy patterns and some nice fills at times. im guessing youre using an alt account or something if you knew him; but thats not my business, glad you entered for your friend. nice job

 

Thank you
I only have one account as per forum rules. I was another handle for around five years? - and some people know who I used to be.
Again, thanks.

All in a single month too...
Thanks for watching!

 

What is RPM?

 

Blimy! What both a great memorial to Oly as well as creating aurally, visually and I dare say a tactile impression through your artistic playing, true textures of our Blue Dot vibe. If Miles were still alive he'd be keeping you busy. This is fantastic!!

 

I think this might be true:

RPM Records --> https://recordsale.de/de/plattenlabels/rpm-records
or
The records can be played at either 33 rpm or 45 rpm (rpm = rounds per minute)

 

I'm more a 78 kinda guy myself.

 

3 Phases Of Life: Birth - Life - Death

I used my own presets from Camel Audio - Alchemy VSTi and TubeOhm - Pure D24 Rack VSTi .

 

Wash, rinse and spin
Birth, life and death
The A, B, seize' to be
The politics of breath

Being born are
Busy dying

Fixed the soundcloud hacking issue I had and it's back - I decided to double the bass with vibraphone after transcribing some of it before reuploading.
