Capitulation
28 January 2009 in Music, ProductionListened to the advice of the guys on the Cubase forum and added a synth pad, built the drums a little more slowly, moved the final chord (I’d miscounted and added a bar too many – very perceptive Glyn!) and remixed.
Oh, and I’ve also called this one “Capitulation”. What’s that? A track that isn’t called “Dev-2009….” Whatever next?
“…you kept the ‘questioning’ and tension all the way to the end … I reckon you kept it real .. original. Thankyou for that chord at the end! You removed the distraction and now, it is like you ‘asked’ the original question, kept on asking it throughout the song, and the ending is now like the Dot in the ‘?’. Blunt … Bam.” Glyn, Cubase.net

Well done, Jonathan! Very nice tune. I can’t believe you’re just starting with Cubase. Very helpful group of folks on Cubase.net. I’ll have to spend more time there.
”Capitulation’ sounds every bit as good as a lot of the music I listen to on my Andreas Vollenweider channel on Pandora. Your tune would be a good fit for that station, actually.
I often listen to that kind of music in the background when I’m coding or need to concentrate on some other digital task.
I’ve used Cubase for years, but mostly for multi-track audio production for videos and animations. I very much want to get more into the sequencing and musical side of things.
Last year, for my birthday, I bought HALion Symphonic Orchestra, planning to use it for orchestral pieces for films and videos. Man! That thing is a beast! It sounds awesome, but it’s going to take me quite a while to scale the learning curve.
Another challenge is finding the time to use and learn these deep and complex tools on top of the other deep and complex tools I use to make a living.
But that’s what Life is for!
Good job, Jonathan. Keep it up. I’m looking forward to hearing more from you.

*Really* appreciated Doyle. You were the very first to comment on any work I’ve done and your positive feedback spurred me on. Thanks again. (Don’t you just love the Interweb?!)
I do indeed! Keep it up, Jonathan. You definitely have a Gift.
Just played ‘Capitulation’ for The Beloved (DigitalDarla) and she liked it very much.
The following is small but growing! ;o)
Pimping the Jonathan!
Wey hey! – Time to start a fan newsletter!
Final version of this track mixed down and uploaded to DivShare, ReverbNation, SoundClick and MySpace today.
