This song is about my obsession with Iceland & my desire to vacation there. ;D

This is quite an enjoyable atmosphere piece, but the downside is I can't say just what atmosphere it evokes (I know that sounds daft). It doesn't really suggest 'Iceland' to me, although again, I don't know what would!

Glad you like it Folderol,as I was not sure whether or not I wanted to scrap this song.
As for the way the theme sounds,I suppose that if I had added some metallic sounds-such as a glassy bell-like instrument,then perhaps it may come across differently.

Hi elwood,
Didnt know you where so interested in my land ;)
Nice track that for some reason reminded me of the summer here in 98

Hey Elv,

So your really from Iceland?!! Very cool. ;D I've always preffered colder climates & the landscapes there are very mystical.Iceland's appearance looks like that of a video game or some sort of surreal movie-I'm very fascinated,as Iceland just seems to be like being on another planet.

It's also one of the the most enviromentally clean places on Earth & the natural warm springs there is a plus too. 8)

Since my song reminds you of being there,I take that as a very significant compliment & it is much appreciated!

Elwood

 ;D Hope you like these pic from us.A bit old, taken about 2004

Thanks Elv,those pictures are fantastic! ;D

Here is a few from New Jersey,U.S.A.

Elwood

So brainwashed from tv, that the first thing  that came to my mind when hearing New Jersey, was Sopranos  :(

I don't have a cable service,so I don't watch broadcast tv.
I only watch movies.
If it makes you feel any better,my pictures are not from Caldwell,N.J. ;D
There are some vile,disgusting areas in northeastern N.J.-which I steer clear of,but the northwestern,central shore areas and some southern shore areas are actually very nice.
I suppose that most everyone outside N.J. would rather see this state blown into the Atlantic by way of a atomic bomb,but it's not all bad as most people make it out to be.

Hi Elwood
Good track and somehow 'mysterious atmosphere'
Synth textures and rhytmics works great

I'd like to visit Iceland, too. I've always been attracted to that kind of places... ;D

Cheers

Thanks L.R.,for the comments.

Perhaps we will bump into each other in Iceland one day. ;D

Thom(aka Elwood)

Who knows ?!
LOL  ;D

Nice track! I do miss something like a solo line a bit, but as it is it's very atmospheric and a good choice of sounds. Cool!

Marc,

I agree,it needs more work & I just have'nt gotten around to polishing it up,so pardon the loose ends while I renovate this tune....

Thanks for the comment,

Thom

Thom,

This one has some nice elements, and even in it's current state, holds the listener's interest.

A melody or theme to tie it all together and provide some direction would be a welcome addition, but messing with the ambience would be a mistake. I'm very interested to see what you come up with.

 Had you considered handing it over to Elv to see where a collaboration might go?

Oren.

This is actually a good basis for a song. Very nice indeed. So hopefully we'll get a second version of this one...

Moon

Yeah ! I remember this track for its great potential
Very good

Cheers

Oren,

This piece is essentially an idea that I threw up just for s**s & giggles...I had intended to work on it further,but just never got around to it.

I like the idea of collaborating with Elv,but he has been for the most part,inactive in this forum lately,so I don't know what the chances would be of that happening-especially since I have no way of contacting him.

Perhaps when Elv becomes active again in this forum,I just may ask him to add some flavor to this piece. :)

Thom

You got mail

You got mail as well. ;D

This is a very interesting piece of work.

Great ambience and rhythms.

All this needs is a movie as this would be a great scene maker, IMHO!

Great production.

Mario,

For a piece that still needs alot of work to it,those are some really exceptional comments...thanks! ;D

Thom

Thom, I don’t think it needs that much work, as least for a movie scene.  Movie scene music sometimes doesn’t need very strong lead lines, just some ambience to enhance the scene.

I think you have accomplished that here IMHO.

I like this!

I would like to listen to this... unfortunately, I can never download anything that is posted on this site. It only downloads 0kb mp3 files.  :-[

N.F.,

I can't imagine why you can't download anything from this forum,since you live in the U.S.?

Your also young,so I'm assuming that you have an up-to-date computer?

Very strange,your situation. ???

Thom

This puzzled me too. At first i thought it was just files without the .mp3 extension that was the problem (that upsets some systems)

I wonder if his machine (or his ISP) has a too aggressive virus filter operating?
