Title: Golden Skies - Full Version! Post by: Marc JX8P on September 11, 2008, 12:50:06 PM For the July/August competition I made a track called Golden Skies which was slightly shorter than 3:40 (the max. track length allowed). It was one of those times where everything just clicked and I really enjoyed working on it. In fact, after doing the regular length track I immediately did an expanded version which I'm now proud to show to you all!

Title: Re: Golden Skies - Full Version! Post by: elwoodblues1969 on September 11, 2008, 06:01:35 PM Marc,
A very signature sound,smooth & well constructed. 8)I've always been fascinated with atmospheric conditions in places such as the Netherlands(I'm assuming that this tune is in reference to this-unless the title is a metaphor for something else)? Your musical influences are very evident in this piece & a fine display of it. :D Thom Title: Re: Golden Skies - Full Version!

Post by: Marc JX8P on September 12, 2008, 01:48:08 PM Wow, thanks for the positive response people, glad you like it so much! As to playing it - it's kind of complicated so if I were at all to attempt it I suggest a collaborative effort in the form of a jam where I'l happily leave guitar and bass parts to the specialists! ;D
We'll see, there's a lot to play that weekend and so little time to prepare... Title: Re: Golden Skies - Full Version! Post by: Percy TKNX on September 12, 2008, 03:00:11 PM Great stuff! :;
I think you should post it on your myspace as well, it's really beyond... Nice work O0 Percy Title: Re: Golden Skies - Full Version! Post by: Wyatt on September 12, 2008, 04:45:51 PM Beautiful Marc!!
Thank you for posting this version. 8) Wyatt Title: Re: Golden Skies - Full Version! Post by: MarioD on September 13, 2008, 03:20:38 PM Marc, Absolutely outstanding :;
This song is as good as or better than anything Vangelis has done :- Title: Re: Golden Skies - Full Version! Post by: folderol on September 14, 2008, 06:12:16 PM Anyone got a dictionary? All the words I wanted to describe this have already been used :;
There is so much detail here, it must have taken a lot of effort to get it all just right. :- :- :- Title: Re: Golden Skies - Full Version! Post by: Marc JX8P on September 18, 2008, 08:17:08 AM Thanks guys, I really appreciate that you all like it so much! :)
Title: Re: Golden Skies - Full Version! Post by: Laguna Rising on September 20, 2008, 03:06:06 PM Great quality of sound and fine quality of playing combined. This is among the best I heard from you Marc.
(it's not a flattery...) I like your expressive synth playing, which is much different from the usual sequenced flat notes I hear from mediocre productions, and I often fall in this class, too Nice track indeed 8) Cheers Title: Re: Golden Skies - Full Version!

Title: Re: Golden Skies - Full Version! Post by: SoundKlops on October 03, 2008, 10:50:37 AM Hi Marc,
At the moment i'm hurt on the shoulder and can not realy move. But if I lie on my bed, hear your music, look out through the window and see the forrest and the sky i feel very good. Thanks Marc! :- Andreas Title: Re: Golden Skies - Full Version! Post by: Marc JX8P on October 03, 2008, 11:14:03 AM Thanks Andreas, I'm very happy to hear my music has that effect. Hope you get better soon!
