    Decorative wine bottles

    in Visual Promotion

    Posted

    Earlier this week, I went back to the Fishbones bar and asked about the bottle I made them. I couldn't see it anywhere and wondered whether or not it still remained intact. It turns out that the bottle has to be hidden at certain hours of the day because people have tried to steal it :D What a funny compliment.

    Yeah, Billy. Totally awesome. Really.

     

    Have you thought about maybe putting a bird or squirrel or something on one of the branches in the same style? Directly to the right of the window might be a good place. You know, the "owner" of the tree. :)

    Thanks, Per :) I was thinking about adding some kind of animal to the tree. I think a bird would complement it best. It'd be a fun challenge to continue the swirly design to it.

    Looks nice , good work man. You use stencil or plain tape to make the outer lines ? Nice color choice also :)

    Thank you :) I used a white charcoal pencil to make the outline of the tree and then painted within the lines.

     

     

     

    that's amazing! :posford:

     

    wish i could paint like that...would do a pretty mushroom florest :)

    Thanks, man :) I should take a pic of the lower half sometime since there are more weird plants I made, but the couch is blocking it.

    Thanks, man :) I'm not really much of a painter to be honest, it's not too difficult to paint within the lines.

     

    I bet you you might be surprised to find people who are into your stuff. Any chance you'll share some paintings. (PM maybe?)

    The wall in the main living space of my house is rather boring. I wanted to liven it up with a mural of a tree :) It's almost done.

    Just wanted to share what I've been up to :)

     

     

    Hmm, It's kinda hard to get the whole thing in one pic.

    It's great gift material, but right now im quite poor :P, so i'll probably gonna have to wait some months before buying those expensive-looking devices :P

    No prob :) Just let me know whenever you're up for a new wall piece.

    wow, thats nice :)

    So, are you going to combine wood and painting next? I think you were into painting with your bottlework, right?

    Hey thanks Evans :) That's exactly what I'm on to next. In the meantime I've been painting a mural in my house. I'm almost done with it and will post a pic when finished.

    Starcade - Chandelier

    Thanks, Billy. I really appreciate it. Just one more track, which is taking a while, and some major touching up in general, and it'll be done. Bought a field recorder recently, and am hoping to get some good material for the final track on a road trip this coming week.

     

    Meanwhile, I'm losing patience waiting for your latest masterwork, the one that's going to blow minds like Scanners. It really is uncomfortable waiting for it.

    That's great news, Per. Can't wait to hear your field recordings. Where are you going on your trip? I guess I should say where did you go since you're probably traveling already.

     

    Heh, I'm losing patience with the track, too. I know how I want it to end, but it's just a matter of getting the last transition to fit with it.

    Why does Torbjörn keep sniffing his butt when I ask him if he wants a treat?

     

    Very cool track, Per. This has retro vibes written all over it. The chord changes are quite intelligent as they course between a haunting mood and a melancholic atmosphere. I do love that you made this track cyclical to resemble the Mayan concept of time. You can almost visualize folding this track and connecting the two ends :)

     

    As far as sound quality goes, I have no issues with it except for clarity at the mid section. It could just be my stereo because my old receiver died. I'll listen on different systems and get back to you on it.

     

    Again, truly excellent work, Per :) I'm very happy that the music continues to successfully flow.

    Music Making Storiez

    Everytime I'm inspired to write some music it's at night. I don't think I've ever had daytime inspiration. Things always get in the way during the day - phonecalls, work, neighbors, eating :P. I'm sure this is the same for a lot of musicians here.

     

    I can generally remember where I was and what I was feeling for all of my finished tracks.

     

    My happiness often coincides with the completion of a track. This really sucks.

     

    It's become a lot more difficult to write music I'm happy with plus it takes a million times longer than it used to. In the first 5 years of music making, I could stay up until the mid-morning, which would often be 10+ hours and finish a 7-10 min piece. Now, it can take me months to complete 1 min intro.

    Really great stuff Symph ! You've got the skillz ! What an impressive work, whatever you do. ;)

    Thanks seraph!

     

    Great stuff man, keep using your talent

    Thanks a lot Time Trap :)

     

     

    That is so impressive. How long does it take you to complete a piece? The smaller one reminds me of this:

    Sweet!

     

    Mdk

    Awesome! Those Galaga ships would be a cool thing to make. It really depends on the design to calculate how much time it takes. On average, I'd say about a week, if I were to do nothing else but work on one.

     

     

    I'd buy that!

     

    Awesome work symph as allways :)

    Thanks Malevol3nt, you know, I could make another one of these if you're interested.

     

     

     

    ^ I've already bought it Malevol3nt ;)

    Or rather, I have dips until it's completed. :) Can't wait.

    I'm finally finished, DP. It took so long because of the sanding and staining. There were so many little wood niblets and random debris that were a bitch to remove. I think it looks great now! I'll send you my PayPal and get your address :)

    Orchestral Tracks

    in Music Making and Production/Industry

    I did an orchestral thing on my Yamaha in 1997. Not on the internet anymore no.

    Good stuff Symph! I have a feeling it sounds better as a .wav

    Sweet! Thanks NN :) You're right, it does sound better, as with the wav, the high end has a better presence.

     

    Doomsday is great! Very moody and the orchestra sounds good (much better than mine!); I really like the way you used the different articulations. And the vocals :D takes it a real step up in depth - the first time I heard them I got goosebumps - although even more layers would smooth it out a bit more. I love the ending!

     

     

     

    Sorry for crashing the thread Billy, I didn't realise this was an old thread and that you'd bumped it to post your OWN track; I just read the first post and thought you were still looking for inspiration, I didn't read it to the end or look at the dates when I posted ... my bad

    Not a problem at all Colin, this thread is open to all :) Thanks for the great words, too. It's an honor to hear your feedback :)

    Very nice track dude! I would send this to twisted or ultimae records this is definitely releasable!

    Thanks Getafix :) You think Twisted would take this one? Wow!

     

    Wow, Symph, really nice track. I have nothing more to add cause others said it all. Keep up the good work Symph. :D
