fairchild mood

By Q-Rosh on April 10, 2022 9:56 pm

In this song I started with an improvisation I did with my daughter. She played violin and I was sitting at the piano. My father was in the room with us and was the only one who was listening. That is what I was thinking. But he was filming us and sended a clip to my sister in Berlin via whatsapp and she was sending a message back.
So we had a nice liveconcert, but very short. Because of this, I made the song a little longer, played some guitar and epianotones and made a beat. The usual stuff I do.
The week was 7/7 days working in the hospital and I have only 3 minutes left to load this up. So, I stop here.

this is lovely and the story is beautiful. how kind of you to take time out from working selflessly without a day off to play a set for your loved ones. you two sound great, and there is so much heart in this. you make the world brighter heart

The track and its backstory make me feel great. Great job to both of you!

Brilliant! Can't believe you have time for this much honestly!

Great background story. I love how this is really capturing a moment in time, and how you framed it for posterity. It's a pretty epic piece, with so many changes and movements. It keeps this Q-Rosh signature of organic sounds, tapes moving around, rewinding (like at 3:27) and epic layering. What a beautiful track.

This is so cool! Well done turning the jam into a nice composition. The violin turned into some really nice textured drones, but it's a sweet and powerful voice in the beginning. It made me think of how kids get up on the couch imagining it's some castle and epic story, and how people do it with music as well - there's always more that's not there that we can see when good music happens.

Best wishes to you at your hospital job! I wonder if your colleagues and patients know about your amazing musical feats...

Sehr schöne Geschichte rund ums Musizieren und sehr schöner Übergang bei 01:36. Klasse Song sowieso

So cool to hear the story of putting this together with your daughter and your father. Beautiful interplay between the violin/cello and piano to start. Love how the layers build up and the sound fills out over the first minute or so. Mesmerising wonky rhythms with guitar coming in after a while, didn't expect that, I dig it. A very enjoyable listen. I miss Berlin. I like how many different places this track goes over its runtime. Nice work, very enjoyable listen.

Neat backstory.  It's always cool when people get their kids or family members involved in the recording.  The violin sounds great.  I was surprised in a good way when the beat kicked in and then this track went on a whole epic journey to places I wasn't expecting.  I really hope you get a chance to take a nice long relaxing vacation at some point this year.  You deserve it!

Really live texture there texture and story, the first part feels like being inside af box of childhood memorabilia and the beat adds energy, like coming back to reality from a daydream

*Really love the texture :-)

This is so good!  True musicianship here.  I love all of the sounds.  Great track!

Love your daughter's playing in the track. A cool spontaneous concert. Develops really nicely into some beautiful themes. Like chapters in a book. 3:30 is tha bomb! Some of the percussion reminds me of an old, warm Baldwin organ auto-rhythm. Nice work!

Spectacular work—somehow everything in the “what you usually do” (magic!) retains the same intimacy your short live concert had. I really like the subtlety of effects here (is that Chase Bliss MOOD I hear? What’s that beautiful shimmering delay in the ending section?) that seem to balance everything perfectly… Spectacular work!

This is a really cool piece. I like how the tone starts off sort of somber with the violin melody and all the stuff going on underneath and then the piece starts evolving in a different direction. Super cool

Oh wow, this is incredibly good. What a special moment you had with your dad and daughter. Each part is sweeter than the last. I hope you get some rest, my friend!

love the rhythmic progression and melodic melancholy of this track! Take good care of yourself!

Spectacularly nice!

It's a beautiful performance, and a wonderful encore.

Great piece, what a cool story! I love how it starts intimate, like we're in the room with the family (you two sound great, makes me smile), then when you add drums, and other sounds (doing that awesome stuff you do!) I lept up, and rode the wave. Made me think of stereolab at times, some tortoise ... other chicago scene post rock perhaps. Great job. Playing music with kids is so amazing. My son is learning to improvise on alto sax in 8th grade jazz band, can't wait to try and play with him, you've inspired me to try soon!


bunny applause for the concert! 
the beginning was so seamless into the 2nd part of the piece - just beautiful
i hope you get a break soon!

Love how both sections seamlessly flowed into each other.  The guitars with the mellow percussion is so pleasing to listen to.  Wonderful work.  Especially enjoyed the uplifting section at around 3mins.  I hope you get some downtime soon.

That's great you got to collaborate with your daughter this week, always fun when our kids get involved or take an interest in what we are doing and can enjoy together.  Was not expecting the beat to come in but was happy it did, really picked up the energy of things.  Really like all the granular/stuttering type of effects on this.  Hope you get some relaxation time this week.

There's a sense of honesty and sincerity in here.  I think violins do that as they are such an emotive instrument.  The rest of the song felt very playful.  Reminded me slightly of some early Fourtet with the repeating buffered guitar lines.  Nice.

This is beautiful and props to the both of you for pulling this off!
I love all the sounds you used to fill up the space in the background too
