Garden - EtherBlu

Greetings! Have you possibly heard of the game Stardew Valley? This type of music suits that game very well and I love it!

Lovely piece of music...has a tropical feel..:)

Compliments_____Orlando

So extremely fitting. I can see exactly why you made this.

Definitely digging it after the minute mark. Kittens all the way brother, all the way. ;)

I am inspired by this track! I can definitely see this playing on a tv show as background music. Very nice!

Nice Start...Sounds like it comes from the heart...

Cool....Peace...TG.

that drop tho!

And I'm back. I know what you mean about pure love being devoid of cheesiness but that doesn't always translate into musical success.

I play some deep, far out stuff but I still quite often play something quite cheesy. I have no definite idea why that is. Certainly not my intent. Sometimes I go through and "de-cheesify" tracks, especially when it comes to slightly annoying synth sounds.

Anyway: more detail.

0:08 those first notes work well for me. Then other tinkly creeping notes a bit later and some little hints of percussion.

I think it's that marimba on 0:26 that says "playful, gentle doggy music".

And then you build your percussion. Very dry (ie lacking reverb) so close and sort of warm, perhaps a bit like puppies. You don't want to make it a space puppies track, right? I probably would have but then that's just the kind of music I make.

0:51 guitarey sort of synth instrument is pretty decent and you've also got some kettle drum rolls in there, which I like. Beat is solid and grooving now.

1:09 guitar is a surprise. Might seem a little out of place but it's playing good notes so no problem there. Rather: an interesting brief, little flavour.

Marimba sits in there all the time, almost as a bass line. Return of keyboard guitarey instrument theme towards the end and bit of strings and then a decaying end note which has been cut off of a bit too soon. Just need a few seconds more on that.

How's that for detail?

Incredible! Such a gentle and fun track to listen to. The percussion part is Marimbas? Or Xylos? Or Vibraphone? Very great choice, regardless. I really am digging the drum patterns. It has a sort of African/Tribal feel to it. I could possibly hear this in a Disney movie like Tarzan or The Lion King. I can also visualize puppies from your strong instrumentation. Beautiful work, EB!

The intro pulls us into a dreamy, far-out space. The introduction of the guitar picks up the energy and the drums keeps it flowing. Overall, a well crafted, quality track.

Kind regards,

Steve

EB, this track absolutely made my day.....light, happy feeling to it. You captured the emotions I feel when I am around puppies (all dogs for that matter) as well, haha. I can see this one as a backing track to a great dog commercial.

Wonderful way to start my day. Thanks for putting a smile on my face and warming my heart a bit this morning. Really well done. I hope all is well.

A lovely piece of music that I will review in much greater detail when I find the time.

Intro is very peaceful and the whole thing is really quite uplfiting. Maybe could be used for a puppy soundtrack? Lots of other soundtracks too as this has some class and elegance to it.

It's very easy listening but not of the cheesy variety.

So, more another time. Until then - big congrats.

this is very cool. Very expressive ! Would you be open to some fretless bass on this ?

I like what you have going. Very positive!

Hi MrEB,
Short track, right at the point.
I liked everything: from the nice intro sounds to the soft rhythm introduced by the percussion.
The marimba and harpsichord really make me think of two puppies jumping around and playing together.
And the lead guitar adds a touch of "live feeling" to it.
Very well done!
Ciao, Domenico

this is a happy uplifting composition EB....and we could all use more of the nice feelings it gives....well done....Ed

What a pleasant song! Short sweet and to the point. It really conveys your intention. Nice choice of instruments as well.

It's actually at a good volume I think, allows me to turn up my volume knob a bit. A rare thing these days with the misuse of limiters and compressors.

Enjoyed!

just maybe the title to Puppies?

very jinja safari sounding btw

nice work!

man this is beautiful.. especially guitar.. nice arrangemant with soft melodies.. good job

lol nice

I'm relistening to your track and one suggestion: I'd add something like a nice airy pad or strings on the segments following the 1:09 mark, to carry the build up of the drums and fill the space; it would allow the momentum to sink into the listener's mind and be absorbed and provide a nice satisfactory "ahhh" feeling to this part and give the song a present but soothing climax.

Nice to see your likeness here on the Loop again man! Hope all has been well! This one is TOTALLY dog-commercial worthy! I can so hear it behind some national Iams dog ad with the tagline "release the wild in your dog" or something haha. I love the drums! They're awesome. Beautiful exciting, happy buildup and tops off with that neat and simple guitar solo. Keep up the awesome work, Ether! I want MORE!!

ER

:P

from 0:28 to 0:42 can be use in other cool stuff. but great track. it sound as soundtrack to a game.

nice one. creative and enjoyable. I liked harpsichord and lead guitar additions. very lovely little piece.
everything is sounding right in here, well done! Alex

Beautiful one...

We lost our dog last year...he was 15 and had wonderful life...we had too with him...:-)
This songy reminds me lots of memories with him...from his puppy age til death...thankx for this magical 2 minutes...

WE LOVE PUPPIES!!!
