Description : Very interested in your comments! Good or bad.
Still sussing out my mixes. Learning how to use synths, make beats and need production help (mixing). Guess I was inspired by the Abba reunion.

If you have time take a listen and give cyborgnyc some feedback.
Thanks! Could really use more help mixing and finding sounds. Still learning.
MOUNTAINS - (We Linger)
Wide awake alone in the middle of the night preoccupied with the uncertainty of light
Linger on a memory of you and I and the mountains that we used to climb (we come alive)
All the walls we build of our design visible the universe we defined
Hold my heart my face between your hands (divine) until our paths become aligned/entwined
We linger on, the mountains - we used to climb -- we linger
Take a chance on being who you are authentic be it plain (or just) bizarre
Let the world -- see just how you shine, you are unique and you are fine
Old beliefs-- that might hold you back are windows made to break, until
you find the beauty that shines through meanings you’ll fulfill
We linger, the mountains….we used to climb, we linger
We are climbing higher, higher...stars below us… find us oh divine...
Wide awake alone in the middle of the night, preoccupied about the dawn
And the uncertainty of light I linger on the memory of mountains that we’ve climbed
And rage against the walls of glass beside us as we fight to find the opening to take us

I agree with Ed (Tumbleweed). Track has a nice feel to it. I like your melody ideas a lot. Definitely evokes Abba. I happen to like Abba. Instrumental backing needs work. Needs a good bass part to set the foundation. Generally, it has too much going on in the high frequency range and it competes with the vocals. Also, the various instruments aren't really distinct in the mix. I think this is partly a question of how the mix has been constructed, but also might be attributable to the arrangement.
The track has a lot of promise, actually. I think you have an ear for melody. That's really important.
Nice to get props for my melody. Yeah, I hear what you mean about too much going on ht high-frequency range. Still learning how to mix. It's SO complicated to know where to place things and I've been listening to music for a long time but mixing is a different beast than writing/singing etc.!
Thanks, I think there is some bass, but probably not cutting through. Still learning how to mix (and find good sounds in the thousands of presets on Helix etc.) I appreicate your taking the time to comment!

Description : I have been using LooperMan for practice for some time now. This my most recent track. The only loop in the song is BabyGee's vocals. Free to download and if you repost tag me so I can share it as well.
Description : A psychedelic techno cello epic. It's not really techno as it's only 110 BPM but something like that (eg breakbeat), with lots of banging beats and arpeggiated acid synths, plus a whole load of my layered cello playing techniques. There aren't that many synths used but they do a lot of work and are carefully automated. No guitar. Drums are mostly a lot of drum loops, supported by a few programmed acoustic drumkits. Very busy and complicated with loads of different sections (funky, chilled, fast, heavy) that make up a constantly progressing trip. I don't know if there's any other cello music like this so let me know if you think there is. Interesting feedback appreciated - criticism, praise, ideas etc. Enjoy...
Description : Summer type dance track, for those precious 2 weeks off, if you can get them! Made around a selection of different loops and some keys from me.
Description : Inspired by an experimental percussion piece I heard. Rhythmic ticking builds into pounding beats and heavy soundscapes. I haven't done any mixing or mastering yet so tell me what you think. Any and all comments are welcome.
