Thanks steve. Cheers 🎶 🎵

Thanks Old Joad. The song was conceived and mostly written on a rhodes. It is there in the mix sometimes in parallel with a Juno and other synths. Appreciate the kind words 🎵 🎶

Thanks Bjorn. Good points. Having only 8GB's of memory severely limits what I can do. Freezing tracks is a huge help. Already optimized PC for Cakewalk DAW. Also, thanks for the Vangelis vibe observation 🎶 🎵

Nice unique track. I'd mix certain vox parts down a bit and the guitar as well 🎶 🎵

Nice one Mikael. Good melodies that compliment each other well. Enjoyed it 🎵 🎶

Great Rock track. Nice transition section at 2:45. Lead guitar sounds really good. Great vox 🎶 🎵

Thanks! I wrote the piano parts while recording and playing as best I could. When I finally had some decent piano parts I edited what I played in piano roll to what's in the song.

Thanks Nigel!

Thanks! I'll have another listen.

Thanks treesha, appreciate the listen and kind words. I will try to revisit this and see if a bass part materializes.

Thanks Chaps. Appreciate the listen. After going over the different ways I could present this piece I decided to have the first part contain a "Rage, rage against the dying of the light" undercurrent, hence the piano's somewhat forceful delivery, but if you listen carefully, I was able to deliver softer nuances in the piano at certain times. The second half contains the quiet, solemn, reflective moods. Thanks again!! 🎵 🎶

That song is alive. Good vibes. Don't lose the great sparks it's full of when you're bringing it up to par 🎵 🎶

Genuine sounds and feelings. Enjoyed that one a lot 🎵 🎶

Sorry about your losses Wookiee but, perhaps, this can be seen as a gain for them as they are no longer bound by the physical realm and are free to exist in a state of peace and wisdom 🌞 🌞 Strong but steady, emotional but controlled, evolving continually....nice music you made there 🎵 🎶

It was just a question of what frequencies were left to work with that can cut through two sequencers. I kept the guitar notes deliberately slow and melodic as the sequencers are always in overdrive speed so to speak. Cheers 🎵🎶

Thanks so much treesha. Appreciate the kind words. I wrote both sequencer parts (one is an Arturia Augmented Strings synth, the other is an Arturia Analog Lab V synth) using the piano roll. Just write four bars or so till they sound right, magnify the piano roll to its maximum view to make sure you have the piano roll bars placed correctly with respect to timing i.e. do they sound like a sequencer (this is important), Quantize them (this is important), then copy and paste one after the other. The mix is my ears. What is a first for me is that I used Izotope Ozone Elements AI to master my 2 track static mix. I did an A/B listen and have to say that the Izotope mixes pros outweighed its cons. Cheers 🎵🎶

Thanks for the listen jack. I checked the piano rolls for both synths and I did quantize them and they are not out of sequence. Is there a specific section/time you can specify? Cheers 🎵🎶

Nice piece of work. Your songs push boundaries and take risks, this one works well. Kind of a Siouxsie influence which is cool.

Really nice work. Middle instrumental section is cool. Rocks along nicely.

Beautiful flow. Great tones on the acoustic guitars. The melodies the EW Backup Singers are doing could be done by piano. Overall beautiful, powerful piece.

Excellent as usual. Your chord creations of all instruments that fit so perfectly together is amazing.

Excellent. Has a Tori Amos "Winter" kind of vibe. Genuine. Great work there Ross.
