In my
personal quest to create music I have stumbled upon two interesting programs
which I have been admittedly tampering with to create sound. One is the Garage Band app on my phone and
the other is Cakewalk, which is a program I was able to install on my computer
because of a musical keyboard I purchased (A keyboard which was on sale and I
thought would make a great starter instrument of the sort)
Immediately
on this album and then later on as it nears the end, I can hear a beat pattern
I can identify as being from Cakewalk, though I cannot place the exact name of
it. (I could if I opened Cakewalk and
looked it up directly, but I'd really rather not. In fact, next time I do open Cakewalk it will
reveal itself to me but by then it shall be too late to mention in this review)
The general
tone to the music of Moon ra seems to be somewhere between ambient and
noise. There are moments when it is
ear-piercingly sharp and at other times it is simply a smooth rhythm on a loop
that can either relax or move you, depending upon your mood. Overall though, this is just some really
good music that I wasn't able to get on cassette (Is the tape sold out?) but I
do look forward to future Moon ra cassettes now for certain.
