Hi Bill & Welcome to the Music Auditorium  Nice relaxing piece with a little oriental taste. I suspect some Chineekong instruments in there, no ? Not an easy composition, you hear the work that went into this one ! I really enjoyed listening to this one, thanks for sharing. Kara |

Hi Kara,
Thanks for the comments. The instruments in there are a mix of rompler, synth, bass, acoustic guitar and electric guitar. Not sure if there are any Chineekong samples in there or not (just can't recall !). Glad you enjoyed the piece.
Thanks for hosting this forum too, much appreciated.
Bill

Nice free flowing tune. Enjoyed it. Well played and some nice sounds.
The fretless bass didn't really appeal to me however, soundwise that is. Maybe a bit too middish?

Martin E,
Thanks for the listen and the encouragement. The fretless was played and recorded well so if it does not come across right it would surely be due to my mixing skills, or lack thereof. Thanks for the feedback. Glad you enjoyed the piece.
Bill

There is a nice relaxed dreaminess to this that i really liked with some interesting, almost free-form sounding interplay between the different instruments. Gorgeous piano work.

Welcome here, Bill!
Beautifully accoustic. The accoustic guitars were especially nice sounding in here and definetly enjoyed the piano playing.
Quality piece of music. Enjoyed immensely!!
Curious, what was used for the piano?

blipp - thanks for the listen and the kind words. There were 3 of us collabarating on this piece, I'm glad that sense of freedom and interplay came through.
Fred - thanks for the encouragement. The piano is from a Kurzweil PC2R rompler. Glad you enjoyed the piece!

Aha ! Glad to see that somebody is appreciating the Kurzwei sound. I recently bought a second hand K2R but couldn't convince Kara about the great sounds of Kurzweil. Here you see it can sit great in a mix  |

I looked for a while to find a nice variety of pianos in a rack module. The Kurzweil seemed the appropriate choice and I am very happy with my decision. That unit has several varieties of piano (some might argue that they are subtle variations ...) that are very nice and work well for me. It also has great organ sounds and some nice symphonic and bass sounds too. It's a keeper for me! |

Hi Bill
Welcome to the forum.
This is a nice track, with an oriental, relaxed feel.
I like the choice of sounds and how they are working in the mix. The 1st fretless part is a just a bit too loud, IMHO.
The 2nd could be ok but I'll try a different eq on both (more bottom end and I'm not sure but maybe try a cut on middle)
Everything else is fine. I love the acoustic guitar.
When the piano comes in around 4.30 it changes the initial mood of the track. Nice evolution.
The electric guitars are ok for the lead part but sounds differently dry for the rhythm ( I mean the chords) are you using an amp emulator or different settings ?
Excellent work.
Cheers
