Thanks everyone; knowing that you guys like what I'm doing is very encouraging and much appreciated.

Message to the Heart.....
 
How worthy of you, Dave.  Well done.

I agree with the master of dynamics comment.  Nice build-up.  Cool chord progressions (especially that repeating climbing one).  And, of course, unassailable Series tone.

David Houck

Thanks Will; and yes, I love what this bass makes possible.

Dave:
 
I've listened to Message To The Heart as well as A Spring Day a number of times. All I can say is that both tunes bring out what I take to be your unique personality and bring me back to a much earlier time when unencumbered by other responsibilities I'd come home from work most days, throw on the headphones and listen to early Weather Report (Weather Report, I Sing the Body electric, & Sweetnighter).
 
Your work sings and evokes a visual as well as an auditory response.

David Houck

Thank you Brian! I had hoped that the songs would tell a story; so I greatly appreciate your confirmation.

David Houck

I wasn't going to upload this one.  I recorded it a few weeks ago and then put it aside; but I just listened to it, and it's not too bad.  So I thought I would share it with you.
 
There are some mistakes, so it's not CD worthy; but it's close.  And there's some rig noise; I guess at some point I'm going to have to tear apart my rig and see if I can get rid of the noise.
 
This tune is in two parts; the first part is essentially a prelude, and the second is my arrangement of a song many of you may be familiar with.  I would like to see if it's recognizable; so don't look at the name of the song and let me know if you can tell what it is.  
 
Like the others, it's hidden from public view; but you can hear it here.

That was wonderful Dave!  Great tone too!

Great - I've enjoyed all the stuff you've posted here. The tone is stellar - iconic Alembic sound! Looking forward to you having some public sounds on your soundcloud page! ;)

David Houck

Thanks Harry!  Yeah, I guess I feel like I'm just putting these up temporarily just for you guys and a few other friends until I record better versions.  (I wouldn't want the music police to hear this stuff.)  But then I've yet to record a finished version of anything.

I think you can post what you have put here publicly with no embarrassment whatsoever. Just put demo or work in progress so people know.
 
But I know it's a personal decision so do what you feel. Now that I think about it, I slave over my stuff before I put it up, so I can't be the one to tell you to just post anything or how to run your soundcloud page!

Just beau-ti-full, Dave.  Clean up the noise and start releasing these gems.  You have arrived in the here and now, brother.
