Seriously? I am the only one who commented on this? Yeesh... c'mon, guys it's really good...
Go home, have a shower, wash the shame off and come back and listen to this, it's quite excellent...

Well I gave it a re-listen, and yep it's still really good. Every aspect well arranged and played, it's a good one.

I must have missed this. It was posted on Black Friday, Day after Turkey Day, and a lot of us were probably out shopping or whatever normal people do on Black Friday.

Wow, this one is more ambitious. An 8:50 piece.

We're realling rocking it out and then right at 1:50, we got into softer piano. Then the strings come in. Man, so beautiful.

I hear the Linnstrument with its polyphonic goodness making/controlling those expressive slides. Man, I've got the NS Stick on order. I had to wrestle with that or the Linnstrument.

4:40 kicks it back up a notch. Love that analog-y solo.

This is rocking and I'm noticed how beautiful the mix is. Right at 7:00 where we slow it down again, and get that expressive string lead.

Damn, Jeremy, this was both very well done and very well mixed and very wellplayed. Just a beautiful creation altogether. You're rocking both Railboard AND NS/Stick, as well as keyboards, and Linnstrument. All are very Stickworthy and a man after my own instrumental heart.

If this kind of beautiful creation gets unnoticed, then that really sucks! And kind of bums me out, because this is stuff that I aspire to do as well.

Know that I'm your biggest fan, Jeremy, and this was very well done! Please keep doing it!

Thank you so much for listening so closely and the kind words! We will have to have a jam session at some point with all the different instruments!

Wow Jeremy, I can't believe I missed this piece. It is EPIC! Wonderful job. The transitions gel perfectly and everything is expertly played. Maybe you should record some video after the fact and put this on YouTube to give it more visibility? This deserves to be shared far and wide!

Thank you and welcome to the Stick club!

I will try an after the fact video. At least I don't have to lip sync anything :-).

I like to use the term "Stick Sync," which is to sync a Stick performance after the fact for a recording. The fact that my last name is "Sink" makes this inevitable that I will one day use the term "Stick Sinking," when I can actually play the Stick well enough to justify the use of the term.

Or "Sink Sticking"....?

Time for a quick rant:

Anyway, every time I listen to a SoundCloud song, the next song is Jeremy's "Black Flower," and I keep listening to it and thinking "This is really an excellent piece of song writing craftsmanship and also playing performance!"

Then I say "If the people at Stickland don't respond to THIS kind of stuff, then some of them (not all of course) do have horrible taste in music and their opinions are kind of shite."

Sorry to use your awesome song to rant, but what the hell, people? The man is playing Railboard AND NS/Stick and is rocking things out expressively. And no one can stop by and say "Atta boy!"? What more are you looking for from mere mortals?

A half-ass cover of "Brown Eyed Girl" that took a Stickist about 17 minutes to throw together will get 4 pages of "That was awesome!" but a multi-instrumentalist writing and producing and recording their own stuff gets like two comments--and that's usually from two other people trying to do the same thing. Well, the three of us can always atta boy each other!

Sigh...let me not piss people off further. People do like their Brown Eyed Girl--that was chosen at random--it's a fine song, no offense meant! That's fine--I'll keep doing what I'm doing whether 4 or 5 Stickists like it or not.

But it makes me sad that we aren't more supportive of original music around here in Stickland--and since I'm as much a part of Stickland as anyone else, let me do my part to not ignore such fine, fine original music when it hits our fair Forum.

Well done, Jeremy! You are a credit to Stick and an inspiration to us all! (at least for the three or so of us who can bother themselves to comment!)

So let me put my money where my big mouth is, and get Kinetic from the Jeremy Cubert Project, just released on Band Camp. Nothing says appreciation like cold, hard cash! [$3 for you, sir. Done and paid for! Thank you, sir!] And I appreciate your efforts, Jeremy! Keep Sticking with it!
