Hi all

As usual, this doesn't fit into any particular category. I originally wrote the melody a couple of years ago, then put it aside, only coming back to it recently. Comments very welcome.

Hello,

Very unusual style & a very bold and snappy drum track that I like very much.
I was thinking though,that if you added some chord progressions in the backround with some reverb,that would paint a good aural picture,describing the vastness & atomsphere of the ocean.

Just thinking out loud,hope you don't mind. Cool

 Cheesy
I also think this is a lovely composition.
 Wink I would love to hear the difference it would make if it were transcribed into 3/4 or 6/8 time signature.  I'm sure that would give it a more 'rolling sea' feel !   Just my opinion!  Wink

This is very nicely done. However, it says 'river Amazon' to me rather than 'sea'.

Thanks for listening, guys, and thanks for the comments and suggestions. I'll give them a try next time I take the lid off this one.

I like the approach you're having in this track.

I'm not too fond of the cellosound though. It seems to lack sufficient character to carry the the melody well enough. Also a second counter melody half way through would make it more interesting

Hi Martin

Thanks for listening. I like the idea of a counter melody - might see what I can come up with when I have some more time to work on this one.

Cool and beautiful stuff.
I like ambient and classical music, so no drums is better for this kind of music, in my opinion.

I like.

I really liked this.  Nice choice of sounds here.

As already suggested possibly some reverb and maybe some chorus might be in order.  But I’m nitpicking for sure!  Plus I would not add these effects through out the song, just in select places, as this sounds damn good as is!

Just my thoughts - MarioD

Hi Fourthmansions
Nice stuff !
Very dense harmonies. I like the melody and I won't describe it as happy or sad but it sounds very good to me (for the atmosphere it builds)
Drums works good and sounds Ok

Cheers
