Paints a picture of so many things. Takes me from one place to the next, like a movie. And at every scene, just when you think it's over, there's another twist! Very nice! :-)

Very traditional like my friend. Ambient and tense at the same time. the tabla and taiko compliment each other superbly. And the throat singing only adds to enrich the sound scape. a great mix and nice use of transitions and space. excellent work.

Another stunning piece of music from you my friend! A wonderful collection of beautiful sounds in particular the soprano!

Very well done. Peace and respect.

Top class it is! My favourite part is part number threee (with the throat singer). A tip for improvement: I think you should add some transitions. It "jumps" too abruptly from one part to another. Song titles? I have to say that I rarely write songs without melody but I'll give it a try. "Ice cold kiwi", "Boris O'Sullivan", "Ngati Kahungunu", "Rotorua", "Tena Koe Kangaroo" (I found the inspiration on the Wikipedia-page about Haka) I hope this will help you or at least inspire you. ;-)

Well...I was thinking Nightshine would be a good title...but that middle section kind of takes it out of the floating vibe for a little while...Its definitely a journey and a track that makes for great listening music over here Kwembe....really well done...Ed

Eric, this is simply a wonderful auditory tapestry you have woven for us. As has been said before, the mix is flawless. I think what sets your music apart from others is your incredible attention to detail....

that and your genius.

This one is special, and perhaps that is why you are having difficulty naming it. I like ModusII's reference to rumination....perhaps something along those lines for a title.

No matter, I will make this one a favorite so I can enjoy it again and again.

Bravo.

that's beautiful man, sounds great to me. the instruments are neat and well mastered it all sounds so clear. Very much enjoying this piece. Right up till the screaming -he he- that was unexpected but not displaced, the part after that is sweet. Name, -something that has to do with smoking, summer and the collapse of our global economy - maybe.

This is definitely a cinematic track that needs to have a video behind it! For me it starts of waking up to another day of life as a mystery with a feeling of uncertainty then fades into a power up (moving forward and facing the dangers and risks that are just up the road) now your running through a land of unknown where anything is possible! Getting closer to something drawing you closer, calling to you. STOP! Finally you've come to the end of the journey after finding w/e it is that you just had to find and now its clear, a sense of relief and the last tear drops of that which was once lost but now is found. Great work Eric! Very nice production and sounds. For a title I think something like, "The Mystery Within", or "Letting Go". Sorry I'm not good with titles. Fav'd + I enjoyed this very much. Thank you for sharing. Have a good 1 and keep at it, keep moving.

Peace,

Love the entire track, but might I ask if you would be able to send me the Maioi chant? That would be awesome. What a segue!!!

Nice return as well. Masterfully composed.

Definitely a fav

FANTASTIC .... An excellent job of composition, very well structured and imaginative.... with very unusual moments here, and very unexpected ( mainly lament voice soprano)....

Interesting soundscapes. I got catched by this ruminant, spiritually minded journey through all these different fields in music. Very nice.

Glad you liked it. I'm not sure I'd go so far as to call my music "spiritual" though... I just put down the sounds and try to make some tunes that sound good to me.

Some unusual stuff here - I liked your use of the Haka in this ( I'm a Rugby fan too!). Nice work.

jamie.

Description : 'Taqdeer' in Urdu means 'Fate' or 'Destiny'. This is an Arabic /Hindi/Bollywood hip hop /club track. The drums are hip hop but the vibe is full sad emotional club vibe. It reminiscences of a man crying teardrops in a nightclub. That can be the best way to explain the vibe of this track. Hope you enjoy it!

Description : A high energy Afro fusion instrumental built around a driving rhythm, melodic elements, and a smooth, infectious bounce. The production blends energetic percussion with a melodic atmosphere, creating a versatile foundation for artists to bring their own sound and personality.

Perfect for artists looking for an energetic record with room for catchy melodies, confident flows, and expressive songwriting. Whether it's a feel good anthem, a hustle driven record, or a late night Afro fusion vibe.
