While this isn't my typical cup of tea I always love the sounds of these instruments, and I like this piece.  

Some of this sounds like parts of what I wanted to create for some of the Drywater, Mars series--something kinda like the bits in Firefly's music.   

I wonder what would happen if you were to make that kind of sound over the top of what I've already got? (I'd probably have to make room for the "excursions" into the style wherever it wasnt' just an accent to the existing music.   

 

(I have a library of Country Fiddle phrases from Image Sounds specifically to experiment with this, but haven't gotten that far yet).

@FreeEarCandy Soundcloud is reporting you tune to be 17:26 long when it is only 3:08 you might want to edit it a tad.

Mix on the noisy bit is OK but he other 14 minutes is a tad quite

This is my cup of tea and it sounds really good. Please explain more about the violin sounds. Thx.

Well I'm glad you enjoyed my pumpkin pie. Not sure what sounds you are talking about or what you have in mind for your project. This was a simple bare bones acoustic guitar piece (rhythm, lead, slide) I put together in 2013 and recently updated with additional instrumentation. The old project had no bass, violin, banjo, drum. You can PM me here, and if I can help you out with something useful to you, no problem. Stay well!

I'm perplexed. I don't know where the 3min of noise came from. I did notice the wave graphic was unusual, but I haven't uploaded to soundcloud in a while, and I noticed they updated their site and assumed that had something to do with it. Well its fixed now and thanks for the ears & heads up, my friend!

Thanks bmarlowe! The reason I used 3 violins was I couldn't find anything in my library that sounded like a classic country fiddle. I had loaded up several VST instruments while searching and I began playing around with all three at once and noticed I could get something interesting enough by panning them and letting each of them come in and out using automation. Created a bit of interesting motion with the different timbres panned apart. 

Thanks for the listen! Stay well!
