Picture: In a fictional nightclub 'Orion'... the ceiling imitates the rotation of a galaxy.
I've 'brought it to life' in GIF format, along with about three dozen similar images, and this time I've maintained the entire clip in approximately this style.
The Deep House version of the song "Wake up, Kitty" received 2,500 views on Facebook in the first 9 days.
It can be concluded that attempts at a more pop-oriented approach didn’t really help with promotion, so I’ve decided to drop it for now and focus on creating music purely with my own vibe.
I love heavy industrial basses, like in my track "Culturally moaning." Today, you'll hear a similar vibe again (this time without the groaning). It’s very challenging to lay vocals over such powerful music in a way that they are clearly audible and not overwhelmed. I think going forward, for wareHOUSE, a dramatic soprano will be needed so that a very high voice can cut through clearly in contrast with the heavy basses.
DJ Bogdan Karasiov feat Lily - Wake Up, Kitty (wareHOUSE version)
- Lyrics by: Kitty Wu ( @wakeupkitty on Steemit);
My mother used to mock the music of 1980s Romanians. She would say, "A super powerful intro, you're expecting 'more to come,' but then they just 'fall apart' and start bleating something, tinkling quietly." Well, in this track, it’s definitely not "like the Romanians." After the powerful intro, it only gets more intense. And when you think it can't get any more powerful, it gets even stronger.
#powerup is definitely the tag of the week.
Mandala of the Day: "EDM Muse"
Look at it for 30 seconds and imagine yourself being filled with sounds of joy and streams of creative inspiration.
If you manage to visualize passing through that central point, you’ll (albeit briefly) find yourself in Nirvana and meet Euterpe.
I really wanted to see at least her virtual image.
Euterpe is the muse of lyrical poetry and music, and is usually depicted with a flute. According to ancient Greek mythology, she is the daughter of Zeus.
My 5 Flutes
One Hutsul from the Carpathians came to the neighborhood on a minibus just before the New Year and set up shop with his goods at a little market near my house. I bought some wonderful handmade candles from him made of natural wax, which burn for a long time and make the house smell of honey, Ivan tea, and 5 children's flutes. Five, because each of them sounds differently, and a bit unpredictably. You wouldn’t even call it a musical instrument, more like a child’s whistle (all for just 20 hryvnias). Still, I’ll try to flute some simple solo for the next track with them. They’re very loud and piercing, so I’ll need to record quickly (so the neighbors won’t come lynch me). However, I’ve already played them peacefully a few times at dawn in the forest. Now, when the pine forest stands without underbrush, the sound of these flutes probably carries for kilometers. Yes, extremely piercing, and they even make your ears ring and send a shock through your brain, like the resonance of a singing bowl when you hear it live, not recorded. However, I can’t pull off the Forest Faun with such a pipe; more like the Nightingale the Robber.
Anyway, I’ll try to create a solo for the next track based on the sound of this little piece of firewood (the green one is the loudest). But again, it’s about contrasts, just like with the dramatic soprano idea: such a piercing whistle has to stand out well against the heavy bass.
