This song bears a strict ontogenetic connection to Arnold Schoenberg's "Three Piano Pieces", but it is a long and winding road from there to here and that is not this.
You can find a recording of the original music HERE.
What this is, is a set of BIAB RealTracks driven by chords extracted from an unheard MIDI transcription of the Schoenberg, forcing a showdown between tonality and atonality as BIAB tries its best to hold its ground in an untenable situation. The sung melody was derived from the chords called out by BIAB and is not present in the Schoenberg.
Thanks to RayC for lyrics:
The Reich that one lives with one's tears Is crumbling in waves in the morning light An autumn tide overflows The levelled horizon
Blood lines pure and sweet Flow numb into the waters! The Reich that one lives with one's tears Is crumbling in waves in the morning light
The leader, urged on by their devotions Intoxicated and more by his daily injections Blood lines pure and sweet Flow numb into the waters! The Reich that one lives with one's tears

There are horns if you wait long enough! But it all gets rather out of hand by the end.

EXCELLENT...The photographed Flipper is being flippant as usual.
Yes, he was “the people’s king of the sea“ at first, doing tricks to delight young people and bringing laughter wherever he went, but then he declared himself Ubergruppenflipper and it was all “I’m faster than lightning!” and the sound of his squeak would make the children cry. This composition depicts the slide into tyranny.
It really is way too long but I wanted to use the entire piece Schoenberg piece.
I tried to fit lyrics into Jay’s part (they may even still be in there) but the jumpy melody made them completely unintelligible. I will try again when I think I can get away with it.
That's exactly the same sad state as the lyrics of the current song I'm working on.
I wish Emvoice gave you a choice of default syllables, or let you set one yourself. It would be fun to have a piece that went "bork, bork, bork!"

Yay, it worked! Psychologically, at least.

Not to worry, I can fix that. =8^)

In this case, I'm anchoring 100-year-old atonal piano music to a collection of hopelessly tonal recordings and forcing them to work out a compromise. It's very dialectical! And I kid but I be serious.
Thanks for listening, and best of luck with the lalas.

fun and unusual experiment and col-la-la-la-boration. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for putting up with all the experimentation! Hopefully the "Si-Ray" interlude helped break up the la-la-la, which I kind of do la-la-lather on.
It'd be pointless pointing out the point if you don't already see it, if you get my point. I refer you, instead, to the animated film based on the album by Harry Nilsson... This part may assuage your pain...
The POINT is made at 2.17.

That's cool. I want to quote all of the funny comments above but there are too many. You folks are all so entertaining in many ways. Really cool how you created this, Mark, and a great idea to add Ray's lyrics, which seem the highlight of the song, an oasis of understanding among the la-la-las, which are also very cool. What a wonderful musical mind you have, Mark.

Thanks, Marty! THAT is the point, to invite people to listen and laugh and think and react with whatever they keep under their hats.
Listened to the original first. Seems he wrote it to express his feelings after his wife had left him. Then you understand a bit of what you hear. We recognise what you did with his music, same atmosphere. And of course you can hear Flipper too. Could be good music for a movie!
Thanks, Rob and Anne-Marie! I appreciate the comment, and I’m really glad you were interested enough to listen to the original.
Hello Mark You have to come up with such an idea first really cool And that you used a Hard Rock Bass RT gives you a second thumbs up as well ;-) Many greetings Andi ;-)

Well, I checked under my hat (after retrieving it from the hat-check girl) but what was there hardly mattered (being grey and all). I will say 'great job all the way around' and 'good use of BIAB' and whatever other forum review platitudes exist besides those two. Here's another: 'always enjoy what you post.' But actually, I quite do. Got my grey matter percolating, and that's a good thing. Thanks for the creativity.
