New project (TRY AGAIN - TAKE 3!!!)

[Last go this - have just worked out I can embed the mp3 in the post! :-) ]

Looking for some honest thoughts here.



After a few false starts, I've recently got going with a new musical endeavor...



Just me and a female singer/guitarist. We've worked together in

other bands before, but recently decided to go it alone as a duo, with

me usually doing bass or percussion.



We're trying out some new original stuff, and have only had 2

sessions, but (I think) things are going well. Check out the mp3 below

for one of our tunes (please excuse some of may failing to keep pace

with chord changes - as I say, it's only been a couple of weeks...).



Let me know what you think.



(It was recorded in mono using just an iphone, and I stuck a touch

of reverb on using Audacity, before converting it to mp3, so hifi it is

not.)


(Just press play...)


Let me know what you think.

    I'll play it when I'm not in front of the TV.

    Why is the player stuck in the top left hand corner of my browser?

    Erm...
    No idea. Haven't used this hosting site before. The embeded mp3 doesn't appear at all on my iPhone, but did work fine earlier on my laptop.
    Let me know if you struggle to open the file...

    I'll have a look with another browser when I'm back on my iMac. Only Safari on my MacBook Air.

    It worked with firefox. That's all I know.
    :-/
    In any event, thanks for your humouring / interest. :-)

    Then it probably will work on the iMac, then.

    I just try to keep the number of apps down on the Air. Poor little thing 
    O:)

    Bravo Doc - I like it.  Shades of Belle & Sebastian/Lisa Hannigan in there.  Would like to hear some more.  

    The quality isn't hi-fi, but it's a million times better than I was expecting when I read that you recorded it on a phone.

    Just had a quick listen on the laptop and liked it a lot - very atmospheric.
    Will have a proper listen over speakers at the weekend.

    Nice neat trick, I like the music.

    Thanks for the encouraging feedback. :-) It's pleasing to know we're doing stuff that people might like.
    James - I'll try to post another demo later.
    Re. the recording quality - the iPhone's and its voice memo feature is much better than it has any right to be. It's a real god-send for recording little ideas or tunes as they arise.

    Finally remembered to have a listen. It works fine on Firefox, but not Safari.

    It doesn't work on your iPhone because it doesn't run Flash. The player is a Flash player.

    About the music. As you'll know, it's not my kind of thing, but I think it sounds very promising. I like the singer's voice.
