    Dan,

    This is a first class piece of music and a lush production from beginning to end. I love all of the dark and light, ebb and flow that keeps the song interesting throughout.

    The feel of the music also fits the title perfectly.  I can't think of anything I would change. 

    Thank you very much!

    Dan this is excellent. Evolves really nicely, and each section has its own hook and charms, and are beautifully arranged. Really, really enjoyed this one. 

    Thank you! I appreciate your comments and I'm glad to hear you enjoyed the piece!

    Cinematic goodness here. Mix is impeccable as per usual! Great job on that.

    I particularly liked the strings getting going around 1:30 , very controlled and effective.

    If it was me, I would have slathered a crapton of cathedral reverb on that piano lead, and ruined it. !

    I'll agree with Bjorn a little, the drum set volume was a bit much for my chilled-out state when they came in. You could drop the first transient a db . Or something. So as to not spill one's beverage of choice. 😁

    Great track, I can see why it took you some time! Well spent

    Thank you Tom! I've tried different things on that initial drum hit and I just can't find a way to do it that sounds natural and retains the energy I'm going for there. I could turn the whole drums bus down and slowly bring it back up, but when I do it loses that driving energy that pushed the track forward. I'm still stumped but I'll plat around with it some more.

    This is one of those songs that just sounds like the title/subject.
    Really like the strings coming in (cello?) at around 1:00 which brought in an ominous feel, like a cold dark day. Didn't care for the drums coming in around 2:17. I don't know, just seemed like a departure from the mood or maybe just too loud.
    What I noticed most of all is how you handle the instrument dynamics so well. A very enjoyable listen!

     

    Thank you Bjorn! I'm glad you liked what you liked even though the whole thing may not be your cup of tea. That's what makes music so personal. Appreciate the comments on the dynamics; it has taken me a long time to learn how to preserve them.

    I agree with James, this is one of your better tracks.  In spite of your impressive arsenal, it would be nothing without your expertise.  Happy new year to you, Dan!

    Thank you Lynn! Happy New Year to you and yours as well!

    'Nice track' indeed 😄 It's an extremely accomplished piece of work, highly cinematic and beautifully arranged. The tension and release at the end is expertly done. One of your best Dan, really excellent.

    Thanks James! I really appreciate the kind words!

    Dan
