mark skinner Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 (edited) Hello , here's an instrumental (for now) I'm finishing up. The guitar parts have been written for a Long time but I've never gotten around to finishing the song. I pecked around on a piano synth to get some of the melody going and may address vocals later if I think it's worth the effort. Any suggestions would be helpful at this point. Thanks for the listen .. mark -remix 1- https://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=14961392 Edited March 20 by mark skinner new master 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treesha Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 Nice rhythms, I enjoy the complexity. Sounds very good, nice mix, good playing. It has soul so I think its worth more effort. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSband Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 I like the piano melody but I think it should be brought forward and made the main focus when it's there, maybe simplify the other stuff when it's playing, it's a nice melody. The guitars get a bit chaotic sounding at times and give the feeling of being out of time. I think with some refinement it could be really nice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
equality Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 Sound quality and musicianship is amazing. Everything is more than perfect except for the piano. Plze turn it up! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T Boog Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 Excellent Mark. I really enjoyed that. I do agree sometimes it's a bit too busy(for my taste) but it still flows in a cool, funky way. Like KSband, I'd like to hear just a bit more give and take between instruments in some sections. But it's still a very cool track with some tasteful, funky playing on each instrument. Bravo 👏 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark skinner Posted March 14 Author Share Posted March 14 @treesha , @KSband , @equality , @T Boog Thank You for the listens and comments and suggestions. The link now reflects a remix trying to address the issues in your comments. I've tried to settle the guitars down some with automation and a few cuts and fades. I also side chained them to the piano getting them out of the way a little more. I slightly boosted the piano and cleaned some notes up. Bass guitar was boosted and crash cymbol replaced. I also backed all the reverbs off. I still feel as if it's missing "something" and is a little too contemporary . I'll get away from it for a few days and see what hits me afterwards. Let me know what I missed . Thanks .. mark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T Boog Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Yeah, that sounds nice Mark 👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
equality Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 I think it sounds great now. I try to think of something similar. Don and Dave Grusin? No. I think you've got something unique here. It's like a chaotic but yet a very structured jam. How this can be? I don't know.🤔 You've got the answer. Very impressive! 👏 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just listened to it on my crappy phone spkr and it sounds great. It sounds fat & clear and ur right, it's all glued together well. I'm sure on good monitors it sounds awesome. Good work guys👍 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freddy j Posted Sunday at 07:19 PM Share Posted Sunday at 07:19 PM Very nice song. Excellent arrangement and the playing is excellent. I do get the feeling of floating on a river with the occasional smooth rapids. I really enjoyed the listen. Kudos! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
