Happy Birthday in 7/8 (My present to Jordan).

[Enc3f4L0]

I put a bit of effort this afternoon to make a 'Happy Birthday' song in 7/8 as Mr.Rudess asked...

There you have it Jordan. Now it's official, happy birthday from Thiago. ;)

Hope you like it.

Great job, man!

I like it so much that i'll sing it this way at every party i go...

I'll arrive first to the end, but it's worth it, in order to free ourselves from "rock slop/post-pop/hip-hop/trance/bop" syndrome, as the Prophet says (Total Keyboard Wizardry, page 13, line 2).

Congratulations, again!

Thread Stuck :)

[pmarafio]

Well done! Bravo!

[veronica]

Wow! This was really, really cool! I'll demand that this one is played REALLY LOUD at least 10 times during my birthday the 16... ;-) (If that's O.K with you, of course!)

Keep on proggin'

[Piranha]

That'll make a bunch of Happy Birthday singers confused.

[Thefunkygibbons]

Very upbeat

Perhaps we could have another

The birthday song to the tune of the death march

[Enc3f4L0]

Woah! A Sticky, thanks Dani. Jordan might actually get his present now! ;)

Thanks for all the kind feedback! Use the mp3 all you want on your birthdays. I didn't think people'd like it so much. I'm really happy with the response on the 3 forums.

I actually think the standard birthday song is boring... It really annoys me when people sing it in my birthday. That being said, I had alot of fun redoing it in 7/8.

:D

[veronica]

Use the mp3 all you want on your birthdays.Thank you! I do also think that the original Happy Birthday is a little.. old.. But now I can enjoy my birthdays from now on in a proggy way ;-)

:grin: Can't wait to see the look on their faces :grin:

[normthesamurai]

Thats awsome Ive got two birthdays coming up too, im inspired to create an awsome birthday variation now!

[Todd]

What equipment and software did you use to record the song? Very good. There are some wonderfully, beautiful harmonies happening in there! :D

[maJ estY]

Wow, I'm blown away! Awesome job, Thiago!
I gotta tell my parents how they have to wake me up on my next b-day. :)

[Enc3f4L0]

;)

I recorded in my home PC. Athlon 2600+, 1gb ram, M-Audio Audiophile 2496.

The only instrument I played was guitar. The rest (Bass, Keys, Drums) I did midi programming in Sonar and used a couple of VSTs. I only wish I had a real keyboard to play with. Programming will only get you so far before you're pissed already. For this song it was OK though. I didn't take more than 2h to complete the whole project.

VSTs used: Steinberg GrooveAgent, Steinberg Hypersonic.

[Rudess]

HOORAY!!!!!

Good job Thiago.
I love it. Thank you. Anybody else in the game.
Common- let's break the 4/4 spell!!

Musically,
Jordan

[ktriton]

This is too good. Missed the wailing synth though :P

Great job!

[maJ estY]

I remember a review of a RMP show where Jordan and Rod played the song because it was someone's birthday in the audience. They played it in an alternate measure as well - was it 9/8 or 7/8?

[Been]

yo that was awesome. happy birthday jordan.

btw i came over from the petrucci forums i thought i just had to join.

[Downy]

That sounds awesome mate good job!!!!!!!!

[Enc3f4L0]

It's awesome you got a chance to hear it Jordan. I'm real happy! :) :) :)

I too wanna hear these 'variations' from other players in the forum.

About the wailing synth... I'll leave that to you keyboardists... No fun in a Left Mouse Button Wailing Click.

[Stimpus]

How awesome is that! sounds great!

[jr612]

GREAT JOB that´s amazine, it is truly a very good present to Jordan congratulation and happy birthday Mr Rudess... :)

[Irish]

Fantastic! The synth parts actually sound like something Dream Theater might well play.. very appropriate!

[keythief]

Man, that is way cool...excellent show of creativity...just absolutely awesome...!!!

[ChrisMcCoy]

This is awesome ! great work !!!

[nismael]

Yeah it really kick ass!

I was supposed to create a birthday song for Jordan too (as promised in his birthday thread) but was just overwhelmed this weekend by the new plugin I created for Winamp. I started finding ideas on the happy birthday theme last friday night with a piano sound and had came up with something, but Its nothing close to this great 7/8 birthday song!!! Ah well, I may still come up with my version sometimes this week, just for the fun of it!!!

Again, great work!

Edit : gonna try to give this 4/4 time sig a correction :)

[DaniKoesterich]
