I see an error on the player Steve. Nothing plays.

What's f*cking weird is that the post shows the audio, displays the time and file size, but won't play the audio. The live page does not display time in the built in player. f*ck it, I'm going to update the piece for tonight's session on my Reelcrafter reel and post for NMF. I was really hoping Wordpress would be a great method of direct hi-res audio. Reelcrafter is good, it's 48khz 24-bit, but streams at the equivalent of Apple's streaming audio (good, but consumer grade).

 

I'll keep looking at this and delete the post later. Thanks for the awareness, my friend!

Double f*ck me. I literally just resaved the exact same post without changing anything and now the player is showing a time. Does it work for you now?

Yes! Nice one. Maybe high quality might be big file size and there’s been a slow cache issue in the chain between internet nodes. All it takes is one slow node timing out transferring a file part and you get a corrupt cache.

Good stuff Steve. I wasn’t sure of the string sound on those first notes. More correctly the attack sounded wrong. After it got going it was all working well. The first sporadic drum rhythm felt too predictable. Rhythmically to steady, single note-ish. Otherwise, awesome dude! Great sounds over all. Love the second half in particular.

I think the strings need more work. I've been trying to work on the viola. It needs more filtering, but I haven't dialed it in yet. This first drum segment needs some chains, but I haven't found the right sound yet. It still needs the lead, vocalization segments, and a few more sound design treatments.

 

Trying to do a doom vibe thing, you know?

Once I've finished part one, I'd like to do a video. Kind of an in-process thing that doubles as a teaser.

Yep. I don’t really need to say this to you, but get creative with it. Don’t hold back, right from the concept stage. Be fully committed to it. The last thing a doom vibe needs would be something unconvincing. You have the creative mind to deliver it. The only reason .I mention it at all is because often when people step out from their comfort zone, their established skill base, they are in test the water mode, pulling their punches.
 

It should a pretty exciting project!
