128000ft (Waveform gen)

For this weeks tune I stayed up all night watching Felix Baumgartner jump from a balloon in the upper atmosphere / space.  It was epic!  I wrote this track while watching the Live stream in a window.  I hit record on my digital camera during the final pre-jump checks a& jump, and decided to integrate it into the mix.

"Alright everyone, the whole world is watching now
And I wish you could see what I can  see...
Sometimes you have to get up really high to see how small you are... [silence]
I'm going home now."

(jumps)   [applause]   [breaths transmit for 30 seconds +]

This track was also a personal challenge to use nothing but the built in simple wave form generators that come with Reaper to make all sounds (check out the snare!)  Source for the tune is here:  http://ctrix.net/reaper/128000ft-cTrix(2012)-Source.zip

nice swing.. and other rhythm variations ;>

Sweet gravity... what if he had floated up? Great variations in the beat.  Fits nicely with the lilting pitch bends.

This is an awesome piece man. Really well crafted, and the voiceover stuff really adds a lot to it.

wow, this piece is inspired and inspiring!  what a jump smile

Your tracks are awesome, and this one especially so, I really like the atmosphere (ha!..)

Phill!  That animated GIF is bigger in size than the tune!
