Acoustic Chill (work in progress)

[53mph]

This is a chill out acoustic song made for those after party moments when you just want to relax.

The open tuning is of my own creation - I stumbles across it while restringing the guitar and immediately this song came out.

Most of the rhythmic elements are made with my own body (hand claps, thigh slaps, finger clicks) and some really old percussion instruments I had to hand (shakers) or just simply the body of the guitar.

The only 'artificial' elements are an acoustic bass from Orange Tree Samples Core Bass Pear (very nice acoustic bass sounds) and some atmospheric piano from Spitfire Audio's Oliver Patrice Weder pack (which contains some really nice felt piano sounds).

It's long - it's unedited - but I like it that way.

This is pretty Philip.  The rhythm  reminds me of *peace train* by cat stevens, but of course the tune is different.   Do you write your own lyrics?

The basic groove is really nice. A change up of some kind would sound good, maybe a piano solo could make it great.

Yeah, I write all my own material, music & lyrics.

I've got a lyric line in mind, but it's still early stages.

I totally agree Kurt - It's still in the sketch phase

It sounds like it could work I will keep the furry ears out for the more finished version before passing any further comment.
