Description : Dear folks...to put it short and simple...this is essentially Ed's (Tumbleweeds's) tune thrown into dangerous waters of me noodling on this time slightly distorted piano ! Hate it or love it...we love you all the same !:)

Orlando, how are you, my friend? It's been a while, I hope all is well with you.

One of the things I enjoy the most about yours and Eds work, either together or separate, is how it's always positive and uplifting. Even the more sombre or melancholic tracks have a distinct air of hope and happiness. For someone who spends so much time in the dark, (literally and figuratively), it's good to know that I never have to go far to find just a little bit of light. In other words, when I'm navigating the outside world, I don a dark and heavy armor to get through the day, but in the sanctuary of my my own home, after the armor comes off, this is commonly what I choose to listen to for the sake of unwinding.
This track reminds me of a gentle rain on a cloudy summer day. The air is rich and humid, but the cold of the rain is so refreshing. Your piano in this is the cool rain to Ed's backdrop of warm, humid air. Together making a pleasurable experience.

Again, I hope all is well with you.

Take care.
Aaron.

Hey my friend...so good to hear from you again...yes it's been a while. I'm just fine at the moment and I hope you are as well. Yet I would be happy if I had more time for making music. I'm on a constant hunt for some more free time lately but I hope things will turn to normal soon.
I'm glad you liked my rainy effort and I have to say that working with Ed always makes it special. Yes, you're very good observer. When I analyse my tracks I see not only somber tracks have always something uplifting within, but also happier ones often reveal glimpses of something more somber. It's always a cocktail of feelings and I think it oozes to the surface through subconsciousness.
Thank you so much for stopping by and for this lovely comment.

See you around soon_____Orlando

Hey hey, Jamid my friend! See you very rarely around here
these days but it's always a pleasure whenever you pay us a visit!:) I'm doing just fine although there's very little time for me to make music at the moment. I'm trying to catch up as much as I can but it's an uphill battle all the time. Thank God I can still work with Ed, so he saves me some time in terms of time demanding hunt for new ideas!
I'm glad you like this one and I hope there will be some more soon! Thank you so much as always for your kind words and support...oh yes,...and for the fav ofcourse!:)

With much appreciation______Orlando

You guys always seem to have the formula to make great music when you work together. The piano is perfect for the piece, like a singing melody line it takes the listener deeper into the song. Nice and easy on the ears, peaceful and intimate, soulful and uplifting! Always a pleasure!

Hola Wayne...always a pleasure to hear from you. I'm really glad to hear that you find the piano lines on the positive side. It was pretty adventurous to me to rely on piano so much in this piece, yet according to feedbacks it worked somehow and I'm glad for that. Thank you so much for your friendly review and the fav !

Ahh, late night back from work. I make a nice gin and tonic (perfect mix of gin, lime and tonic water.) then I sit back and listen too this. I think my blood pressure has fallen to an acceptable level, and I can finally relax. mate this is some fine work weaving Ed´s guitars and composition with the beauty of your Piano playing. We have reached Nirvana! Only Gabriel, and Ferry and maybe Gilmour have reached this level of intimacy in there arrangements. Bravo...Bravo

Wow Steve...this is incredibly generous my friend ! As if
Peter, Bryan and David were there because of too much gin and tonic...haha...Joke aside my friend...I'm sure our friend Ed would be delighted to read this too, and personally I like the idea of music as blood presure leveling tool..:) Thank you so much for your kind words and the fav as well...means the world!:)

The beginning (0:00-0:40) reminded me about ambient piece in one of Fallout games (i think it was Fallout 4). Overall a really great track, i will listen to it in the cold winter evenings.

Orlando51 replied 7th Nov 2016 - 10 years ago
Interesting observation...so there must have been some pipes in Fallout4...in fact I bet they were.:) I hear Fallout5 is in works...would be nice to contribute some music for it...:) Thanks alot for the listen and kind comment !

The more times I listen to this one the more I love that piano of yours Leon....and I`ve been listening every moring on my MP3 player (when I walk & try to compensate for my bad habits).....Thank you again my friend...this one would never have survived without your talented additions...Ed

Thank you so much my friend for stopping by and for your very generous words of support and encouragment....and if it's true that this track survived only because of my involvement then I'm happy as one can be, and can one get a bigger compliment than this? Or if I say it more on a joke side...should I become a founder of "Trash Bin Recovery Agency"? I would certainly be very much in favour of that idea, especially when a very particular trash bin over there in Canada is in question..:)

With much gratitude & looking forward for the next one..

Holy hell, I love this! So spiritual and seductive. Kinda reminds me of Saltillo with its hip-hop/world motifs. I love the interplay between the guitar and the piano. It's like they're saying different things sometimes, but they carry the same feeling. Fantastic. Loved the journey.

Description : A blend of heavy bass, melodic piano vibes, and atmospheric synth textures. I wanted to create a sound that balances powerful low-end energy with emotional melodies and subtle sonic layers.
I'm still learning and improving my production skills. I'd really appreciate your honest feedback on the overall sound, mixing, bass balance, melody, and arrangement.

This is one of my latest experiments in EDM production. Hope you enjoy listening!

Description : Hey everyone, I'm sharing my new track with you. The main motif comes from a sample by Mike Hayes titled "Lament." I added a few extra touches, some drums, and vocals from the phonk genre-I thought it would be an interesting fit. Let me know how it sounds!

Description : Still We Praise is a faith-centred song about God's grace, the struggles of life and the power of praise. It is a reminder that, despite the evil, pain and sorrow in the world, our hope remains in Jesus. From a cry for restoration to a declaration of praise, the song brings together people from all walks of life in worship of the King of Kings.
