The whole song was really well done, but I especially loved the opening riff and guitar tone.

I personally would like to the hear the drums up a little.

I really enjoyed it.  Thanks.

Nice little noodle.  Excellent playing and sound choice.

Jeff

Absolutely love this.  Outstanding playing, and the indian influence gives it a really nice vibe.  I agree with earlier comments about bringout out the melody a little more.

Update - I decided to open an Etsy shop to see if I could sell a few ukes, and fund the next instrument design. Would you like your own custom, 3D printed uke? I'd be happy to give a discount to forum members thanks to all the help and feedback that has been provided along the way in my musical journey.

This one has been quite the project.  I got it into my head a while ago that it would be fun to write and record a song on an instrument that I made.  Since my woodworking skills are non-existent, I turned to 3D design and printing.  Since I was doing 3D printing, that meant the instrument was going to be a ukulele.

Designing and printing a ukulele that sounded halfway decent turned out to take a fair bit longer than I was planning.  But I'm pretty happy with the result.

Ukology is the demo song, using the 3D printed ukes.  Hope you enjoy.

And if you have a 3D printer, and would like to print one, you can get the files here:

This is my first forum colab, and  I was excited to be a part of it.  It turned out great!  Thanks for all the hard work on it, Ron.

Sounds like the perfect holiday to me, sit by the pool, write some cool music, take some pictures  . . .  what a beautiful place . . . lifted my day, enjoyed very much !

Really appreciate the feedback and kind words.

Excellent cover. Love the clav, and the horns sound solid for midi.

I thought the choice of all the various synths was spot on.  Everything fit together really well, and the vocals sounded great.

Honestly, I wasn't too wild about the opening synth, but then when the chorus hit at around 0:50 it all came together and only got better from there.  Vocals were excellent..

Oh, I love those keys.  Awesome work.

I love those kind of happy "accidents" where something unintended becomes a key element.  A really well done, solid song.

Takes me back to listening to experimental radio while making late night burger king runs.

Loved it.

Really impressive.  Very well done.  Love the piano solo, but (as a piano player) I would have liked to hear it a little more forward

Very enjoyable tune Jeff. Nice melodic flourishes through out🎶🎶🎶🎶

Thanks so much, Larry.

For some reason I got a strong They Might Be Giants vibe from this, which, in my opinion, is a good thing.  I really enjoyed it.  Very inventive.

Jeff

Brilliant!  That was so much fun.

Nice piece, some excellent shots.  

Many thanks for your kind words.

Loved it.  I feel this takes it up a notch compared to previous songs of yours i've heard.  Really well done.
Also, I like the video as is.  I think it fits the music really well.

That's awesome that you were able to revisit this.  Kudos to all involved.  I really enjoyed the solos;  all were great and it's especially enjoyable to hear live brass and sax.

The video complemented the song, nicely.

Very well done.  Sounds like traveling music to me. I like that theremin-like instrument in front and there's some really nice stuff going on in the background too.

Thanks so much for taking the time to check out my little tune and comment!

I didn't hear the original, but this version was excellent!

The song is outstanding.  I really enjoyed it; sounds radio ready to me.  The video is the icing on the cake, it really compliments the music.
