That's a cool short composition - you should do a lengthier version. What sound library did you use there?

Hi Douglas, this is ***** by spitfire (alternatve solo strings)  it's a great library.  When I listened to it again this morning, I agree with you it should be longer.   Thanks for your time :D:D

Thanks Nigel.  It's designed for the new millenium where everyone's famous for five minutes.  :D:D

Crows, Van Gogh and Kafka.
Just sitting here listening and pondering.

Nice instrumental David. Kind of an interlude piece.

 

Thanks Bjorn.  We should still get together some time.

Kafka was always precise, no?

Hi Philip,  your link doesn't work.

After seeing all the babies and children I'm utterly convinced we're descended from ancient aliens.  Evolution couldn't come up with that.  I enjoyed that.  Are you saying that john lennon was deluded about peace?  

I think this is one of your better songs.  I have trouble thinking of worship music consumed in secular society and vice versa.  I'm more of a high church guy, but your songs are compelling.

This is little dippy tune!

I turned off my subwoofer and it wasn't as bad.  Whatever was doing it was in that nether region of the bass.  What I meant is slap a HPF on both the acoustic guitar and the bass,  I like acoustic guitars (and bass) to sound present ,  like you're hearing them live.  My mixes sound atrocious so take this with a grain of salt.

I listened through a pair of  infinity speakers.  The bass sounded a little *hollow*..   Maybe a high pass on both acoustic and bass.  Elton's voice was too buried to make out the words.  remember, just another amateur's opinion. :D:D

gave me goosebumps.  I really like your voice.  There's a sweet innocence in your voice.  Reminds me of the teen idols from the 70s like david cassidy etc.  Good job on the song.

Nice lil quickie.  Jyemz is always so tasteful.  Love you guys, as always. :D:D

David, I think I remember this one. Nothing wrong with a hijacking ones own material. 🙂 

I re-worked it.  Thanks for listening  Bapu. :D:D

Rob you're always so kind.  Thank you for taking the time out of your busy day to listen to my music!

Is there a genre called paraphrenia?  I think you've done it.  Love the purring so many, many dogs everywhere.

duets can be hard to get right.  Sounds like you did it.  who's rachel?

Like your voice as usual.  You definitely  have a style that's enjoyable.

This feels cinematic.  I never know with these kinds of recordings, whats improvised and what's planned.  The horn parts would have to be planned, but the solos, I never know.  Do you just push record and get the best take?  Or is it all planned.  It's a mystery.

The millenials all want to look old, with their beards and dyed gray hair.  They're so derided (like the hippies) that they want to appear sagacious and authoritative.  You have a great voice, not sure why you're so concerned.  

I don't think the solo's

Getting close to final mix & masters, need to know if this mix is in the ballpark..Is the gtr, solo at 1:30 too loud?

thanks & be safe...

Larry Carlton?  Lee Ritenour?  Who are you!  Love your songs.  Sounded like a 335, no? I didn't think the solo was too loud.

so much...angst.  :D:D  I'd get rid of the little intro, but that's just a matter of taste.  The song is great.

I loveboth  the singer and your aesthetic with the videos.  sublime.

The new show is pretty entertaining.  BTW Kaustub nice job.  Hope you win!  (can you imagine judging these....there's probably thousands to *sift* through) :D:D

Hey rex,

Nice to hear good vibes.   You speak my language.  Cheers!
