indigo_wolf Posted April 10, 2007 Report Share Posted April 10, 2007 Everything I heard on Happy Birthday Maggie samples was too slow. Entire track is 5:35. Tempo change occurs at around 2:15. Most samples are around 1:00 to 1:30 and hence don't really do justice to the piece. Boy, that all sounded terse, didn't it? LOLIt's one of those days. We'll just write it off as the "steely-eyed glare" of someone that's "on the hunt" If you are still looking for something (perhaps a bit faster) then maybe.... "Whatever Way The Wind Blows" Pop Version: Marshall Crenshaw Country Version: Kelly Willis Oh no... the sun is coming up.... grumble grumble.

John Barresi Posted April 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 Ya, I used a mix from Last Samurai in 2005. http://www.kitelife.com/videos/mib/johnbar...a2005mib1st.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quad KiT Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 He has other scores too Check out the Pirates of Carribean soundtrack The Rock Main Theme The da vinci code soundtrack is good Gladiator soundtrack has some great tracks on it too On another note... If a small team has Red white and blue kites I think Sweet Georgia Brown would be awesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyPuppets LimitVoodoo Posted May 11, 2012 Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 Revival of the long dead here - you may call me Necroposter Deluxe. If you still like the Queen "Bohemian Rhapsody" format, you might try Billy Thorpe's "Children of the Sun". It doesn't end quite as softly and the very beginning is a little slow and rhythm-less but its close. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Barresi Posted May 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 It's a good enough track, but doesn't push my buttons personally... Hard to explain, I don't know squat technically about music so I'm not sure how to describe it. Something about tempo, segmentation (chapters of program) and emotional rise.

SkyPuppets LimitVoodoo Posted May 11, 2012 Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 Yeah, "Children of the Sun" is not high up on my list either. But there's no cursing so its got that going for it. In the beginning of this topic, I think you did a great job of explaining what you are looking for. I'll keep an ear out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgewarden Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 Hmm - guess I'm late. Still, I would love to see John interprete some "Blood, Sweat and Tears." Especially "And When I Die" (actually ends very upbeat), has nice short instrumental intro (before launch?) some great tempo changes, including the up tempo finale which happens as somewhat of a surprise - stick that and the the crowds will cheer.

Reef Runner Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 Well I'm a bit late on this one also, but first of all, I'm just amazed that a topic can jump from April 2007 - directly to May 2012, and take right off again (well almost). Heck, I wasn't even flying Revs in 2007, but since SP LV pulled this one out of the archives, and JB actually responded, I think it's a really great topic, as I really enjoy flying, and I love music of all kinds........... I've thoroughly enjoyed browsing through all of the many suggestions, which resulted from John's plea for help, back in 2007, and likewise, reading the reasons for and against, those many suggestions, as they pertained to a particular piece of music. I've never really thought much about choosing a piece of music, to go with a particular flight routine, since I don't compete, or have any routines of my own, but I now realize, that a lot of thought must go into this task. Many mornings, during my daily walks (iPod on head), the thought has crossed my mind, that "Hey, this would be a really great song, for John Barresi to use in one of his kite videos (ballet, I think is the correct term), but I never actually thought about making any suggestions. Again, I never realized that it could be such a big deal......obviously I was wrong ! So John, coming from a complete novice, at "putting music to flight", or should I say, "putting flight to music", I'll have to say that now-a-days, my iPod is loaded and thumping, with many of the old Pink Floyd greats. I hadn't listened to this music in years, but upon discovering that all 14, of Pink Floyd's original studio albums, had recently (2011) been digitally re-mastered, I must say that I am finding this music, to be simply amazing, and quite enjoyable, all over again. I haven't read of anyone suggesting PF's music, even back in the '07 posts, and I really do wonder why. Surely, there has got to be something in their repertoire, that will fit anyone's routine. My favorite albums, from the PF collection, would have to be, number one, "Dark Side of the Moon" (of course), followed closely by "Wish You Were Here", "Animals", and the not to be overlooked, "The Wall". They are all great stuff, oldies, but definitely goodies....... Just my $.02 worth 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
