Operant - Vesper (August - September 2005)

[altesticstorm10]

Thanks for not helping me a couple months back, folks. Well, here's your chance to save face. After months of research I found that the song I was looking for was "Vesper", the 14th and final track on an album called "Encoded" by jazz band "Operant".

It's like my second favorite TWC instrumental because it reminds me of my 1st favorite, "eye of the storm - Stephen Arnold" (obviously, the StormAlert hurricane music) from my favorite year of my life, 2005, when my life was intimately glued to TWC, my favorite channel (at the time, before it started sucking in 2006). This song was played after Storm Alert was over for about 12 hours during the demises of Katrina, Rita...possibly Wilma and/or Ike as well? It takes me back to Katrina, the most exciting time of my life yet, and it's the best most underrated saddest most emotional "aftermath" instrumental that exists.

Is there anyway I could listen to the whole song for free? I'm not asking to download it or anything, there's just no videos of it on Youtube or anywhere else I could find online and I've been looking for it for nearly five long years (since 2005) I want to be fully reunited with it. The only thing I can get so far is 30 lame seconds which isn't the best part of the song anyway. Help?

OMG this is one of my fav TWC songs ever as well! I don't remember you signing up here before..but Summer 2005 had some of the best lf music and Vesper by Operant was one of them. I liked the song immediately after hearing it on the august 13, 2005 9:09pm LF. ( I remember it clearly). The instrumentation is amazing. The song is on itunes.

Altesticstorm10, may I ask why are you criticizing us when that was your very first post here?  Where did you ask us for help a couple months ago?

I didn't recognize the title, but after listening to a sample, I vividly remember hearing this song play back then, It would be nice to hear it play on TWC again.

FYI, this is not TWC Classics, but TWC Today. I remember you very well, as a matter of fact, I was the first replier to your topic similar to this at TWCC.

Can't say I remember this song, but it is catchy!

It's a great song. I got it in 2006 and still can't get tired of it to this day.

TWCC, I've existed on that site and posted sporadically under various names since Ernesto (2006).


Localonthe8s, they did play it on August 13th before the big TWC change and before Katrina? Wow, the first time I heard it was August 29th (obviously in the evening after Katrina became a TS). I also vaguely remember "Shine" by Ryan Farish, my 5th favorite song of that period, on August 25th ("Hurricane Katrina Has Arrived [In Florida]!). "Legacy" by RF being my 4th favorite and "For The Movies" by Lenny Marcus my 3rd favorite.

I agree Summer/Fall 2005 was by far the best LF music, but then again, 2005 was the best everything for TWC...best music, best tropical and severe weather graphics and music to go along with the graphics, best program lineup and the best regular show graphics (no ICHT, only 1 hour of programming per 12 hours, [usually Storm Stories at 7:00 PM CDT and half-hour programs at 1AM], Afternoon and Overnight Outlook still existed, etc), best hurricanes (duh), best OCMs (Dave Schwartz and Hillary Andrews overnight were epic, no Samantha Mohr), and much more. TWC begin its slow and steady decline in mid-October 2005 (when they extended First Outlook for the earlier and took out Overnight, put in Weekend View which was horrible, then a couple months later put in a second full-length program per 12 hours [ICHT] eventually leading to Abrams & Bettes...the changing of all the regular show graphics in 2006, and the decline of TWC. It's really sad, TWC was so amazing in 2005...the year I watched TWC the most, ironically...I'll never forget TWC in 05.

Why was this moved to the pre-2000 board? This song played in 2005.

Okay, I understand now.  I'm still learning all of the TWCC members since the merge occurred, so welcome aboard!  I hope you got some help here.

It's back where it belongs now.  Sorry about that.

As I recall they played it after Ike though I'm not 100% sure. IF the 2010 pans out to be the 20/11/5 season many of my friends and people think it will, we could expect the same Storm Alert LF music (Eye of the Storm) and possibly the aforementioned operant-vesper following stormalert mode and the demise of the hurricane.


And to the guy above me - the only help I've gotten is that it's available on iTunes which I already know. Can you download iTunes as a regular MP3 to your computer? Because I have a SanDisk that I call my ipod but it's not an official Apple iPod.

You can call me Patrick.   I don't see any way to download or listen to the whole song for free, so you may have to pay for it on iTunes.  After you do so, download Audacity and the LAME MP3 Encoder plug-in for free.  You can then record your song from iTunes into Audacity and export it to your MP3 by using the encoder.  Give it a try, but it's possible other members here may know even better ways.

...or just buy it for 1 buck on Amazon as an already mp3 format

Yeah they did and I agree about everything you said. 2005 was tops for me TWC wise. I watched TWC all day long nearly everyday in 2005 especially during the summer of that year. The song Vesper should be brought back again, it would fit for the primetime hours

Can someone post a clip of it? I can't seem to find it anywhere.
