I Smile And Hand You My Umbrella

By little-scale on January 13, 2012 3:32 am

I smile and hand you my umbrella. Sacrifice as a vessel for self-serving martyrdom.

For 12 celli (aka cellos). Multi-tracked.

I have serious face because this seriously sounds incredibly beautiful. Some of the lower midrange resonances sound like voices.

Such a beautiful piece. It reminds me of Idris Khan's photos.

Wow, this track is beautiful. The instruments sound so crisp and the track itself feels so heartwarming and sincere.

I dig it.  Player noises at the end...  Did you have one person layer or ensemble or sequenced? 

Not wank.

pretentious poopoo

*brain explodes* that song is almost too awesome.. i would love to see the sheet music if it exists

The title and the mood make this a very evocative little piece.  I like it.

rdomain: I multitracked myself playing it.

spry: I will post the score, sure.

Gorgeous track

This is rad. Totally doing something similar, but will have to get other people to play... well done.

hah. i like the multi-tracked ending of you getting out of your seat eleven times

Does the Cellos are processed by computers or are they real ones?

Lvx: A real cello, played 12 times.

Why would anyone not like this? ^_^ great track

Well played / written man.  You really are one of the most prolific muso's I know!!  The ending amazing

That means quite a bit coming from you, cTrix. Thanks.

your umbrella is obviously a remotely detonated bomb.

Amazing stuff, I love the diversity of music everyone is already creating! Beautiful multitracked cello's wasn't something I expected smile But it was an awesome!

Always pushing the envelope, little scale! Nice work

Damn I regret selling my cello now

Incredible!  Real cellos? Wow... Beautiful

Beautiful arrangement! I think this could easily be one of my favourite songs of 2012 and we're barely 3 weeks in!

Very, very unexpected and very, very good.

Wonderful stuff, very accomplished.

Amazing, I like the dissonant bits especially.

I really here Human Voices as well! Crazy!!

I prefer this one than your previous track!

Joshua: Thank you. I am happy with the level of dissonance in this one.

good job!

Love it!

This breaks my heart hearing this. You are amazing at what you do!

Very odd sounding.

Lol

i liked "pretentious poopoo" comment, but i really enjoyed this piece of music. would really love it to last longer.

Wow.  Awesome work Seb.  Great stuff!  Cello is such an amazing instrument.

this is great. 

Thanks!

Really nice.

Oh my god, this is really awesome, love the cellos.

Been coming back to listen to this one. Over and over.

Made an account to tell you that this gets more beautiful every time I listen to it.  Flawless.
