Celtic Fantasy

[Starise]

I am beginning to make a new collection of music based on Celtic music. Sounds better with headphones IMO. It has some acoustic space in it. Any comments or crits welcome!

Thanks.

 

[David Sprouse]

You're right, sounds great on headphones.  It has a nice folksy feel to it.  Well done, sir!

[Starise]

Thank you David!

Very well done. Love that ethereal Celtic sound. Something truly mystical about it.

[JoeGBradford]

Very nice - I'm a folk music enthusiast so good to hear!

[Douglas Kirby]

I listened through headphones - very cool.  I enjoyed the listen very much - quite a bit of depth to the mix.

Did you use a real shaker, or was that programmed ?

[Hidden Symmetry]

This sounded nice on my laptop as well. Enjoyed it.

Certainly lives up to the title.

A light and airy folksy tune that would not be out of place in a midsummer night's dream.

Thanks for sharing.

Good job!

Regards

Marie O'Conor* is tapping her toes to this!

There's been a couple of stutters on my end almost like its out of time for a moment.
Internet traffic I'm betting...
Likewise maybe the "quick" end to the fadeout, iTunes tends to "chop" things off below a certain level; SoundCloud do the same?

The cutoff was my fault. When I ported to the other DAW I clipped the tails a little too short. Not much I could do about it after that. Lesson learned.

I left the timing off a little here and there on purpose. I hate quantization. It's basically the way I played it. 

Thanks for your comments Tom.  That Marie O'Connor is something else. (seriously I don't know who she is)

love the jangly ethereal sound to this - good effort, like it

Well the can's were out of reach so I listened on the Adam's instead.  It sounded fine on them, nice job sir you have created an nice sense of space and simplicity in the sound, which is often not the real case with the playing.

bjornpdx , Thank you! I believe it's the "mystical" element that attracts me to some of this. Music with the feeling that there's magic in the air. Does that make sense?

JoeGBradford- Many thanks for listening and comments!

Douglas Kirby- Thank you for giving this a listen on headphones. I'm glad that the outcome was good. The shaker was a sample. I have a shaler I intended to use but I could not locate it at the time. 

Hidden Symmetry, I am releived that it came across ok on a laptop. I always worry about my mixes on laptop speakers. Thanks for listening.

thegaltieribrothers ( Paul)- Thank you Paul for listening and for your comments on the music. Much appreciated. I couldn't have hoped for more than to inspire a dream!

DeeringAmps- At first I thought maybe  Marie o'Conor was an well known artist in another country.  I'll bet your grandmother was quite a woman.

Bajan Blue- Thank you!

Wookie- Thank you for listening.  Adams? Nice!!  The sense of space was made using 2CAudio PBJ.  I appreciate you taking the time to give this a listen.
