Wolf Molkentin Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 (edited) I recently took up this lovely and catchy broadsheet ballad once again, thereby hopefully implementing some good advice from fellow musicians (starting with raising the pitch by two semitones): Now The Tyrant Hath Stolen Please comment, I'd appreciate that!Best wishes - Wolf (typo corrected) Edited January 14, 2016 by blue eyed sailor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Taylor Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Really enjoyed that, lots to listen out for in the accompaniment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf Molkentin Posted January 14, 2016 Author Share Posted January 14, 2016 Thanks a lot, Don! Very good to know you're listening to my recent effort re self-accompanied song (for the first time in quite while as to elaborate and record), and I'm glad you're liking it...

StuartEstell Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 I agree, the accompaniment is lovely -- I enjoy the way you develop quite robust chordal arrangements on the treble EC. My only comment would be regarding the rhythmic feel. For my taste it could flow just a little more while remaining slow and stately. I realise that's a difficult thing to quantify but I think that would really put the icing on the cake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf Molkentin Posted January 16, 2016 Author Share Posted January 16, 2016 Thanks a lot for your encouraging and helpful comments, Stuart - I really appreciate that! Not sure what I'll make of your suggestion (maybe I already have with the follow-up Barbara Allen - not sure about that).

Wolf Molkentin Posted January 18, 2016 Author Share Posted January 18, 2016 Stuart, I just played around with the "flow" like this (first time through straight as before) "andante" exercise and would of course appreciate your comment on whether you had a thing like this on your mind, or if I'm missing your point as yet... P.S.: would have liked to have it recorded more properly but was again disturbed and annoyed by a silly person in my neighbourhood (she's in fact living some houses away...) who rang my telefon several times until I gave in and up for today...

StuartEstell Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Hello Wolf Yes, this is exactly the sort of thing I had in mind. Keeping it moving steadily lessens that slight feeling of hesitation that I think the previous recording has -- and it lets those lovely melodic lines really sing and feel like much longer phrases.
