The zylo sample used on this track was probably done using hard rubber mallets, not felt.. but yeah it's a melodic percussion instrument playing with the melody. Knowing the exact type of instrument used is irrelevant to the point I'm making, considering that's the only keyboard mallet in the song. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sure it's relevant, just like an acoustic & bass guitar aren't the same. If someone can't tell the difference or doesn't want to know the difference then I tend not to trust that persons ears as well. But thanks for listening anyway...

David Sprouse 414 Posted January 17 This was hypnotic. For some reason I kept thinking I was hearing a rotary phone ringing in the background, no? :D:D I'm envious that you can put together such great music. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hidden Symmetry 887 Posted January 18 Thanks David, I have used subliminal parts in the past but not on this track. If you hear a phone pick it up! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ron D 0 Posted Friday at 08:45 PM Nice! Guitar playing and tone reminds me of John McLaughlin. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bjornpdx 626 Posted Saturday at 06:47 AM I can't get into the genre, but I appreciate the musicianship. Excuse my denseness but would this be considered progressive rock or more like jazz? Seems to be improvisational? Love the video. -Bjorn Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Love the video. -Bjorn Hi Bjorn, Since I need to release under a genre I use jazz but this (& much of my music) isn't jazz at all. The song was written around the main guitar line which I improvised & recorded on the fly. I used that original take for the form then wrote the chord structure around it. The out gtr solo was improvised in the typical sense over the recorded track. To me it's just a composition, instrumental easy listening with elements of rock, symphonic..you could call it prog. muzak too I suppose! Thanks for listening & the feedback.
