Paul A lovely sad song, well played and sung. That guitar intro is great and the accompaniment is perfect. Here and there the timing seemed off like you're straying a bit from 4/4? Not that it matters that much, just something I noticed. Thanks for posting. Never heard of Beltromi before.

Beautiful melody and a great transition at 1:05. I played the song about 5 times already. I wasn't sure about those string section staccato hits (don't know exact terminology here) which seemed to come in on different beats each measure. I don't know, just seemed distracting to me. And I thought the bass could be brought up a bit. This is a lovely song and I really like it.

Lynn I think the mix is very well balanced. Also nice and clear such that the listener can distinctly hear all the instruments and vocal. Well done there. Great video too. I know how hard it can be to find clips you need!

https://soundcloud.com/orygun/tranquility Kind of a cross between Vangelis and Heavenly Music Corporation. Thanks for listening.

Hey I know that guy! Great arrangement as usual. I don't think I could get those instruments to work together so well. I gave up on VocalSynth but gonna have to give it another try after hearing what you came up with.

Those darn banshees night after night. Pretty cool story - the breathing leading into tortured sleep and told in synthesized sounds. I'm not familiar with the Roland Space Echo thing but excellent use of those Arturia instruments.

I can certainly relate to the lyrics Freddy. I think this is one of your top five songs, if not the best. And I always like the photos that go with the song titles.

Studio One 4.5 gets stuck on plugin scan for me and others. I tried following some suggestions on the Presonus site but didn't work. Did a system restore to prev version and all is good.

"Come on Down and see my Pharm" is the catchiest phrase I've heard in a long time. Can't get it out of my head.

Douglas I just keep repeating myself after listening to your music. Great song and great performance and I wish you all the success you deserve.

Yeah, this version is better than the first and a huge step in the right direction. I think your voice sounds just fine and you should bring it out more.

Wookiee Nice one. I really like it. I just bought Arturia V Collection 7 and I've been playing around with the Modular synth a bunch trying for that nice Berlin school kind of sound, like you're doing. Good stuff.

Leadfoot and Douglas Thank you for the comments John B My birth certificate says I'm 72 but if I didn't know that I'd guess 18.

The lyrics belong in more of a ballad genre so I think a simpler arrangement would be better, maybe just the piano with a string pad and bg vocals. I like the piano intro and the fill at 1:25 BTW. The vocal is too quiet at this point so hard to comment on that. It's a promising start for sure. Just one man's opinion. I know what you mean about recording and re-recording vocals to fix a few bad spots. Often it sounds different because something changed in the environment or the recording level isn't the same, etc. Melodyne is great but sometimes it introduces artifacts like clicks or weird transitions and then you have to fix those things.

Kenny, Paul, Lynn, amiller, ramscapri and Tom Thanks for listening and commenting. John B - The movie came out in 1959 so yeah I was around.

Leadfoot I could tell by the waveform that the mellow part at the beginning would soon get a lot less mellow but I didn't expect the AC/DC rock n roll energy. I like the "heaven is a little bit louder" which tells me something about your dad. I'm guessing you're a chip off the old block. Outstanding performance and guitar playing!

Very pleasing interplay of lead gtr and backing guitars makes for a relaxing afternoon. I listened to some of your other tracks and they're all very good, esp River Ride that you posted a while ago.

Hawk, I really like this and I think Emily would have too. 😁 Great idea to use a well structured poem to build a song upon and you and your collaborator did this very well. I couldn't make out the lyrics in several places but I have more trouble with that than most listeners I think. All in all, a great song!

Bob, thanks for the nice comments. I never actually saw the movie (heard a lot about it tho) until I downloaded it for this project. It's a bad movie for sure, but it's certainly not a boring one! Freddy, thanks for taking the time to comment. Dr. Paul Bearer, huh? Yeah, the movie is beyond cheesy but can't really say it's the worst movie ever. Bad movies are the ones you exit the theater from before they end, but not so with Plan 9. kakku, thanks again for your comments.

Kakku Pretty much ditto what Lynn said except I think the timing seems too rigid or something.

It has that professional quality to it that makes it sound like you know what you're doing. 😁 Nice job.

Plan 9 https://soundcloud.com/orygun/plan-9 I wanted to use an Omnisphere Theremin patch so I came up with this. It's just some spacey music with dialog from the worst movie ever made "Plan 9 From Outer Space" I downloaded the movie from the Prelinger Archives after finding out it's public domain so not a problem (I think) to use bits of dialog. How do you insert a link such that the song plays right here in this box and doesn't switch over to Sound Cloud? I can never get it to work. Thanks.

You captured that deep-blue-failed-relationship feeling very well. (I guess I'm familiar with it ☹️) Perfect lyrics!

John I like the steady groove in the background - piano, drums, bass - that supports the vocal. And then you add in the horns for a jazzy kind of sound. Really nice break at 2:28 that transitions back to the main theme perfectly. Well done.

Pretty impressive modular system. Kind of have to get into the right mood to appreciate the music/sounds. The video is well done and complements the music very well. Reminds me of NI Reaktor instruments.
