I was flipping back and forth, hearing the captions read in the voice of Carl Sagan or Morgan Freeman. Lovely floaty synth with well-crafted visual choices, very good job Bjorn! It got me thinking big thoughts in my small mind. If before there was anything there was nothing, that requires the negation of Lavoisier's law of conservation, which is mighty hard to let go of.

Whatever the next Disney movie is about dogs, this should be in it. Your chord changes with that awesome melody, just terrific old-school pop writing. The modulation was clever, and straight into an instrumental retelling of the hook - great idea there. And the mix was very hi-fido. Great collab, great vocals, great talents that should be more widely appreciated!

Tut tut. Bohemian Cello at $149 was a good deal, for me. Lord help us if the software producers ever hear the word "cartel"

Get that man a coffee farm.

. . . somebody racked up enough Jam Points?

I lusted after this one like 20 years ago, but never got it: Roland Handsonic. Updated version costs a cool $1K. In the same boat as the OP, I bought this a few years ago: Presonus Atom, around a hundred bucks. Guess what? The build quality really really sucks. The pads don't trigger reliably, which I believe was the point of making the darn thing. Looking for better! ATOMpad-large.jpg.auto.webp

In other notable mergers,

You have two vocals saying/singing different things, both panned left. Can't make em out. Then a third vocal with cool panning effects. However if the intent is to let the whole thing just wash over your conscious mind, it's quite fun, as per your usual. Silly humans, always expecting a narrative. ? I don't know that mixing decisions are super critical if the arrangement is a wonderfully psychedelic goulash. But your individual instruments sound very cleanly recorded which is half the mixing battle. The other 90% is being original. Well done.

Yes I agree it's worth more time! Nice tune, I was hearing a Pink Floyd direction as a possibility. Percussion would be welcome as well. I look forward to hearing where this one goes. It has a nice mellow vibe.

Is there a "Paul" vst that comes in later and re-records them?

Trippy! I think it's very strong, with a greeat lead vocal, and did you pitch yourself up to get the bgv's? They totally work! I think the only mix thoughts I would have would be a comparison. In the second 3/4 of the song, compare your lead vocal volume to the organ. The organ serves, the lead vocal shines. Perfect! But go back to the very first intro at the beginning, I think the organ is stepping all over your lead vocal, even though the organ is panned hard right. Too much competition? In the beginning, maybe the hi hat could use a skosh more reverb to sink into the mix. This is all so very super original. Loved it.

Well here's more .02 kroners on your excellently constructed, sung, and vibed song that is super catchy . . . I listened on headphones and was always noticing that open hi hat that splashes up on the "3 and" , you might bring him down a bit. And in my headphones the bass disappears, who I think would or could be a main driver in this groove. Overall, though, very well conceived. Kind of an Emo Burt Bacharach! I dig.

I could hear a little Robin Trower influence in the vocals? Or maybe Fred Frith? I could hear a full stop gospel choir in call-and-response. Very cool groove all the way through. I agree there's more meat to hang on these fine bones somehow. All set for it. Mix wise it sounds like you have added an eq bump for air, to the hi-hats/cymbals, and it might be worth pulling it back a bit. ? Very solid groove, sir.

very catchy and cleanly played, Makke! Great to see you in the vid as well. I like the stops in the piece and excellent dive-bombing vibrato! I'm hearing just a bit of crackle in spots when both guitars are going at it, maybe a tiny overload of the converters? Could be worth a check. very secret agent, man! well done!

This cultural appropriation is . . . . . . dread full.

I liked those doubled unison lines and the whole thing for whatever reason gave me a Grateful Dead feel. Pretty chill, sir! I'd agree the bass could pop up a bit in the mix. this song is a good example of how space in a composition can be very musical.

Thanks Mark, I think the kitchen sink works because of Walt's guitar! Appreciate the comments. Thanks, Antler! Appreciate the comment! Good deal, Gary. I'm a noob who is getting slightly better at getting mix lucky. Happy accidents all the time! Thanks for the listen and the comments . . .

Super chill, and I especially appreciated the video, and in that, I especially appreciated that food scene!!!

As usual, really good songwriting and good chops on the instruments and vocals. You have the touch of song arrangement! I wonder if there is a compressor on your master bus that might being doing just a bit too much? Or maybe just the drum bus compressor? I think the mix could breathe a little more but I have no idearrr what you've got going. Still sounds great.

My strategy is to come back here and re-read this excellent part of your post!

Before you surf the real Kazoo learning curve, you might want to try the comb-and-wax-paper . . .

Larry, when you are posting a deal, could you please let me know if I've already bought it before I buy it again?

I heard Fender is buying video editing software next. Get ready for . . . "Fender Blender."

In December, it'll be 3 Weiss men.

At least it wasn't Gibson.
