Description : I had 30 minutes spare between lessons this morning, so rather than twiddle my thumbs I decided to record something. This is what came out of that session. I placed a capo on the 9th fret of my acoustic, found a sequence and recorded it in one take, then picked up the soprano sax, and realizing I was in the key of F#major set about a melody pronto. I started to record after a run through and felt I should keep the first take after listening back. It pretty much captures what was in my head. Recorded using line 6 tone port and Ableton live. I hope you enjoy it's relaxing quality.. Cheers Slap...

Glad you had a half an hour to kill. I couldnt do this in a year of trying. If you have any flaws in this song, you are probably the only one that can hear them.
Awesome.

You know, the uncluttered feeling of this song is what makes it beautiful... in a world full of music that's always finding new and interesting ways to make beautiful noise, it's nice to take a breath and listen to something so sublimely simple. Gorgeous - nice to hear you again (and nice to be back :)) x

That's 30 minutes well spent Mr Slap!
Very chill track, the instruments complete each other. I really like it when you hold that note around 2.05. Soothing...
Well done mate.

Description : Draft from my old defunct laptop. Lost some plugins and not sure I'll come back to it. The wee vocal sections were never added to and the mix probably needed more work too. But thought I'd post it for a bit anyway, if people like it maybe try to finish it. Pseudoble played some synth. Music made by humans.

Description : I wanted to create an EDM-nostalgic pop type track. Liek the ones Kygo used to upload in 2016. With a euphoric trance feel but electronic vibe. Highly melodic though. This can be a summer anthem. Although winter's coming. Cheers.
