Description : It's been a while since my last upload, yet here is finally the new one and it's 'dangerous' as it gets cause this time I ultimately decided to dedicate this thing to my dear friend Ed, the man well known to Looperman audience as Tumbleweed.. He has been my huge inspiration for those past few years and always will be. Luckily we've made some pretty decent stuff together and more is to come. Working with Ed helped me to improve alot and this composition is now my way of saying 'thank you' to him and music should express my gratitude better than words....One might expect this will be Irish (or Celtic) music, but it's not necessarily the case...as the title suggests it's merely the touch of it....it's like a mirage in the highland mist and it's full of orlandesque crap to be honest...haha...yet I decided to include a tiny snippet of a famous traditional Irish song at the very end of the track and I bet you will recognize it instantly ...particularly for the lads with Irish roots this shouldn't be a problem...:) So, Ed...put your headphones on and be merciful my friend...:)

UPDATE: 10th March 2016 / Today I decided to do an
alternative mix of the track...and hell yeah, I think it sounds much better now !:)

Hey my friend

A very haunting but beautiful piece, loving the pads and strings, cant really put into words what I feel hearing this one, something surreal about the sound, not sure, amazing piece, this is a sound you expect to hear when watching fish swimming in and out of the reefs in a ocean doco, maybe that is the strange feeling it is giving me...Totally loving the piece my friend, again credit to your talent...fav...peace n respect...mosaic...

Very cool and interesting composition here! My initial reaction was to reference Emerson, Lake and Palmer, if they had not been so tied in with rock and roll. Very similar sounds to many of theirs that I remember listening to in my youth. I'm partly Irish, but have little cultural reference to it. I can appreciate the peaceful feelings, and the instrumentation. This sounds like it is more complex than it seems. I enjoyed listening very much!

Orlando51 replied 4th Apr 2016 - 9 years ago

Good old ELP....what a nice reference!:) I think all those influences are in the subconsciousness, cause I never try to copy anyone intentionaly except when I decide to do kind of tribute (Pax Europea) or a cover (Pilate's Dream) which are extremely rare features in my repertoire anyway. I'm really glad you enjoyed the listen...thanks alot my friend!

Hey there,oh mystical one!Really enjoying this one.

I dont know why but Pete Townsend came to mind somewhere during the intro, something about the mood/tone and Rhythm.I bet thats a first!Then its gone.
The mood to me is a feeling of contemplation.

Anyway mate,an exceptional moment and a worthy tribute to this sites celebrated artiste

Orlando51 replied 22nd Mar 2016 - 9 years ago

Thanks alot my friend...nice to read your friendly comment!
Yet I really wonder where to put Townsend in this context:)

It's been a while hearing ambient tracks from looperman. This one really caught my attention.

I really like the overall track. Calm and very heavenly I must say. Very well done my friend.

This makes me so hungry for a DAW again! I've been writing with just an acoustic as of late and while it's nice, I do miss seeing things come together in a way that is just as beautiful as this. This track is so dreamy and I can sense the Irish influence on this one! The pads are wide and nothing is over-driven, which I think is perfection. Sometimes abstract music like this really feels like a breath of fresh air. Thanks for letting me clear my head :)

Played this one for the wife for St Patrick's day as My heritage is 50% Irish. I wanted to hear the feedback of a classically trained opera singer. She liked it found it melancholy but pleasant. I still enjoy this one.

THANK YOU for this. this is beautiful. this is art at it's purest form. THIS... is music. thank you.

Orlando51 replied 17th Mar 2016 - 9 years ago

My dear friend, your generosity is incredible ! I really don't remember if I ever received such a favourable feedback! Honestly I'm pleasantly surprised cause I don't think I deserve such a praise, yet I'm hugely grateful and happy for it!:) I certainly won't forget your kindness over night....thank you so much !:)

Wow powerful!
It hit my sadness button.
So so sad.
So many tears have been shed by so many people in this scene but at last it's over.
It will probably never be the same but at least it's over now.
Brilliant.
No no no I don't think the word brilliant is right here.
It some how takes away from the pain of the piece.
I'm lacking the vocabulary to use a different descriptive wor/phrase .... I'll be back.

Orlando51 replied 17th Mar 2016 - 9 years ago

Very interesting reaction I wouldn't think of..I mean, do
you really find it so immensely sad? In fact you're the first reviewer to mention sadness and even strongly emphasizing it ! I agree there are apparent waves of melancholy but I really wouldn't think of overwhelming sadness...Don't get me wrong, I'm absolutely excited about your observation cauae it makes me really curious now and I would be glad to hear some more about your view...afteral you're saying you will be back...and you are most welcome my friend..:)

This is a gorgeous track. You have that magical touch that allows the ambient sounds to softly shift in a way that feels natural. I often find that composing and producing a track feels like sculpting, but your approach has a different feel, more like nursing a sound, letting it grow. This is an excellent example of that.

Orlando51 replied 16th Mar 2016 - 9 years ago

I really like your idea of sculpting and nursing the sound
and I think you have a good point here, cause I feel almost exactly the same about my own approach to making music !

Many thanks for this lovely feedback and the 'fav'...means
alot !:)

What a nice tribute to Ed! You guys are quite talented in your own ways and when working together you seem to be seamless and on the same page. Very cinematic piece, expected to hear the Highlander or a Braveheart movie snippet on top somewhere. :) Ambient is a cool choice, like a kaleidoscope for the ears.

"it's full of orlandesque crap" Nonsense, this is good shit!

Always a pleasure to listen to your creations. Thanks for putting this up for dl!

Orlando51 replied 14th Mar 2016 - 9 years ago

Hey mate...great you stopped by for this one!:) I had in mind something for Ed for a long time , but just now I acomplished it... and I always felt it was a long overdue.
Yeah, I think it's as much cinematic as is ambient, those two areas I almost always wander around. I'm glad you found some "good shit" in there...haha...:)

Thanks alot for listening, commenting, faving and downloading....means the world!:)
