Jillian Aversa Posted September 21, 2007 Author Posted September 21, 2007 Yes: this coming spring, 2008. ^-^ Breathe and Dive probably sounds a little weird out of context. There is actually a whole introduction leading into that track, which sets the stage for the "forgotten temple" atmosphere. Quote
Zombie Posted September 21, 2007 Posted September 21, 2007 Interesting music. Can't wait until spring! Quote
MechaFone Posted September 21, 2007 Posted September 21, 2007 Damn! If I'd been here sooner I'd have seen this post, and if I had, I'd have wanted to get in on some of the action. If there's still an opening there, I'd most definitely be interested. I don't have much to offer besides my mediocre<-sp? voice, but to lend a hand would be a dream come true. Quote
The Pezman Posted September 21, 2007 Posted September 21, 2007 Did you sequence the instruments yourself, or did Andy assist? Quote
zircon Posted September 21, 2007 Posted September 21, 2007 "Breath and Dive" was written and produced by Jill - all I did was some mixing/mastering and a few string stabs. Same goes for "Hajime" (I didn't do the strings for that though.) "Winds of Change" used an instrumental I wrote/produced that was only about 2:00 long - Jill loved it and helped me to arrange an extended version with new parts, and then she wrote the melody, harmonies, and lyrics. Though Jill didn't preview the intro, the way it flows with "Breathe and Dive" is really cool; once you hear 'em side by side in full, I'm sure you will agree. The climax of "Winds of Change" is also REALLY amazing, I've never heard her sing in such a powerful and soulful style. Maybe I'm biased, but I give it two thumbs up!! Quote
anthonium Posted September 21, 2007 Posted September 21, 2007 I look forward to the official release. If it'll be anything like the previews then I'm sure I'll love it. Quote
Jillian Aversa Posted September 21, 2007 Author Posted September 21, 2007 No, the previews are completely misleading. The songs don't sound anything like that. ..... Quote
Kizyr Posted September 21, 2007 Posted September 21, 2007 Breathe and Dive probably sounds a little weird out of context. There is actually a whole introduction leading into that track, which sets the stage for the "forgotten temple" atmosphere. I was thinking the same thing when I first listened to it... Not just lyrically out-of-context, but the melody sounded kind of funny (background melody, more so than the vocals), like something was missing at the beginning. 'Winds of Change', I think I'm really looking forward to. That and 'Hajime' are the best of the samples thus far. KF Quote

Not just lyrically out-of-context, but the melody sounded kind of funny (background melody, more so than the vocals), like something was missing at the beginning. There's nothing "missing" per se, but you're probably reacting to the dissonant movement of the background "ooh" vocals. It's supposed to sound eerie. Quote
Fishy Posted September 21, 2007 Posted September 21, 2007 Breathe and Dive probably sounds a little weird out of context. I want to hear the rest of this. I love weird stuff, so much more interesting then cookie cutter stuff. Awesome weird harmonies. Quote
Jillian Aversa Posted September 21, 2007 Author Posted September 21, 2007 I want to hear the rest of this. I love weird stuff, so much more interesting then cookie cutter stuff. Awesome weird harmonies. Yesssss... Think Ocarina of Time's "Forest Temple" theme, which was coincidentally the first song I ever remixed. It's definitely an inspiration for Breathe and Dive in terms of atmosphere. Quote
BardicKnowledge Posted September 21, 2007 Posted September 21, 2007 I've had the previews in my inbox for a while now, and just found the time to listen to them. As usual, your voice is just so good, pixie! Most impressive moment for me recently though isn't off the previews, but how you sing all the way through the long phrase on "Deliverance of the Heart" -- good stuff! Anyway, keep us updated and good luck recording the rest of the album! Quote
Marcel Posted September 22, 2007 Posted September 22, 2007 I like it; when this comes out, you'll have to advertise it a lot; I'm sure I'm not the only lurker who would be interested in it. Quote
Jillian Aversa Posted September 22, 2007 Author Posted September 22, 2007 I'll do my darndest. (^-^) Quote
Bahamut Posted September 23, 2007 Posted September 23, 2007 In particular, I like the Hajime preview a lot - that african vibe really does it for me. Quote
Leon K. Posted September 23, 2007 Posted September 23, 2007 Good stuff, I'm jealous of your talent >.< Quote
Katsurugi Posted September 25, 2007 Posted September 25, 2007 Needs more of pixie's ice CAPella. Quote
Jillian Aversa Posted September 25, 2007 Author Posted September 25, 2007 Somehow I don't think Ice CAPella would be the appropriate route for this album... ^_~ But actually, I may do a track a capella - or at least with an a capella section. Quote
Liontamer Posted September 25, 2007 Posted September 25, 2007 Somehow I don't think Ice CAPella would be the appropriate route for this album... ^_~ Hmmmm. I dunno. I just don't see how Icecapella can go wrong. Quote
Kizyr Posted September 26, 2007 Posted September 26, 2007 But actually, I may do a track a capella - or at least with an a capella section. Personally, I'd really like to hear a 100% a capella track on this album. KF Quote
Bahamut Posted October 16, 2007 Posted October 16, 2007 Just commenting that I like the new track too. I'll be sure to purchase an album when it comes out. Quote
Katsurugi Posted October 16, 2007 Posted October 16, 2007 I, too, will be looking forward to this Ice CAPella single release. Quote
Geoffrey Taucer Posted October 16, 2007 Posted October 16, 2007 I'm definitely digging the new demo. Quote
Jillian Aversa Posted October 16, 2007 Author Posted October 16, 2007 Aw, thanks guys. I wasn't expecting a bump in this thread so soon, and after a stressful day that really makes me happy. I suppose I should get to adding the new preview to my site and MySpace. ...And here! The Secret Guards of Kalé Quote
The Instrumental Light Posted October 16, 2007 Posted October 16, 2007 Yes, the new preview is very interesting indeed...great work! Quote
