Wookiee

Pleasant piece but I am sorry this is way too way too short.

Very nice, Wook. Has a slight hypnotic vibe, but also kept me just a bit off balance with the timing and rhythm. And I mean that in a very good way; it is a nice mix of elements, and keeps the listening focused on the music.

An enjoyable listen. 

Thank you sir nice to know you enjoyed the almost hypnotic vibe, you are most kind.

A creative work - there were some interesting melodies on the synths you used.

Are you happy with SD3? I've never had the opportunity to try it.

Thank you Douglas, strange things happen to melodies at 25/8.

Yes I do like SD3 it is the most expressive of the real sound libraries in my audio arsenal.

I do have a number of the expansion SDX's and have not really examined all the kits.

This uses the new Fields of Rock, Stone Room kit. As a rule I do not bother with split the tracks out to feed CbB, just a stereo pair mains from SD3 into CbB with Boz Digitals David Bendeth +10dB compressor in parallel mode effectively the channel in CbB is the Drum Buss. I really like the Orchestral SDX has some very useful additional instruments it is probably the one I use the most. 

Always a pleasure to listen to your composition's @jwnicholson78 you have a nice touch on the piano, I like the little synth buzz, nice touch.  

This is nice Steve, I do wonder if the vocal is a little to dry, could just be my furry ears.  

I have to confess not my field of expertise sorry I can not help.

Kinda liked this one Wooks ...If I play it 3 times I've almost finished vacuuming the house ...gets me through with a smile, so that's good ... and lucky I studied Morse in college   ( pulsar )

Steve

Good for the Morse study, the percussion plays a kind of morse pattern through out, either closed HH for DOT or open HH of DASH, or on the ride, Tip for DOT and Bell for DASH.  Apart for the moment when the drummer has a moment and runs round the 7 toms in the kit.

Thanks for the listen and kind words, glad to of been assistance to get you though the vacuum cleaning.

@Douglas Kirby What can I say other than I did enjoy that very nice sir  

@Lord Tim they were after my dalliance with Metal I am more an early Sabbath, Purple, Led Zeppelin kind of Wookiee. But as usual you have a cracking performance here.

As noted by T the Kick is a bit pronounced, it also sounds a little lifeless to be more like a box than a drum, it has no ring.

The rest of the mix sounds reasonable here on he Adam's, though it does sound a like nothing is really panned even stereo instrument's can be panned to give a better soundstage.

@PavlovsCat Just a note on the side it is best to keep a single song to a thread you will get more attention that way.

I can only agree regards vocals and I rarely comment on vocals because Wookiee singing kills none Wookiee life forms within in a Parsec of the Wookiee that is singing.

Again another pleasant and enjoyable example of your talents @David Sprouse. A nice introduction to the start of my day, thank you  

@bjornpdx As ever you make my furry ears smile with your musical adventures.

There is something so evocative about those Middle eastern scales, they add a depth that I feel is often missing in western scales. Peter Gabriel's Passion album springs to mind.

If I was to offer a constructive criticism the opening female vocal feels a little harsh perhaps some subtle surgical EQ to take the edges off.

Keep them coming I just love your style and approach to making music.  Thank you for sharing with us here.

I wonder how hard this would be to perform.? I'm picturing everyone on stage counting under their breath.  It definitely conjurs the image of a pulsating object.  I feel this has  alot of potential and could be longer.

Tricky I suspect especially for the drummer or percussionist, the same pattern is repeated throughout, either on the Hi Hat or Ride cymbal, it is played around all 7 of the Tom Tom's of the SDX Feilds of Rock Stone room, twice if the furry brain remembers correctly. 

Thanks for having a listen and commenting.

25/8 😳 you'll be writing Prog tracks next! 😉

Really enjoyed this, the chops to produce and perform it are impressive indeed.

Nice work

Andy

Radical thought, a furry alien with clawed paws writing earth Prog 😂.

Your time, ears and comments are appreciated thank you.

@Michael Fogarty if you are using a sub it is probably intentional.

@noynekker there is a secret in that time signature, thanks for the listen & comments.

Enjoyed the track, nice panning & vibe..a bit  Island-esque sounding to my ears too.

Thanks nice to know you enjoyed this. Interesting you also see this as an island vibe, perhaps I need to provide a subtle clue

Nice work Wookiee - it's kinda got a Caribbean/chill out element to it. I like it!

Thank you sir.

I do love a a bit of cool Electric Piano, that kick sure punches through.  The whole vibe of this is very very very cool @Michael Fogarty.

One little observation I noticed on my Events there is s little bit of bass hang/bloom on some of the sparse passages, probably inaudible on many systems..

Interesting, mix works here.

Nice musically fun track that works well.

Interesting piece, to my furry ears it feels s little laboured in places but that may be because it sounds like it repeats a little to much.

As T said.

But I would support the melody lines and not double up there.

This may well be just what this needs.  Recording and mix wise you are definitely improving.
