The Birdlands Edge - Orlando51

hallo Leon!
already loving this after 10 seconds and can say these will be some yummy strings. going to F# instead of C# was a pleasant surprise.
guitar fits very well, did you record this guitar phrase? it's constant rhythm is guiding the rest nicely as we wait for the percussions.
the solo bowed instrument is insane, what is it? did you have to program this or even play it?
here comes the beat now, digging the flow.
i am sitting in my chair comfortably at 1:40 AM and getting carried away by your lovely music. it has a meditative effect and helps me relax and focus - thanks.
oh also, is it possible to see the picture this was based on? i already was creating an image in my head and it could be fun to compare it to the actual thing you used as inspiration.
andreas vollenweider the harp player also used to hang images and paintings in the studio when they were in a creative phase and looking for inspiration. and clearly it worked like a charm. :)

glad to catch up slowly. this is already super nice and i can't wait to listen to more if it's all of such high quality.
impressive work my friend, very well done indeed

Incredibly relaxing and beautiful. I particularly loved the violin, specially the part just before the middle of the song. But the whole thing was a journey.

Very very beautiful. Incredibly relaxing as well!

I tried to write poems and sing to these melodies, and this is what happened:

Faved a while back but have to comment... This is sublime. Sound is crystal. Everything is great but those strings are pretty amazing.

An amazing melody and a combination of instruments, and try to sing to this richness?)

Beautiful composition. Great note choices, instrumentation, and tasteful use of dissonance. Great mix too, super crisp and clean. Nice work.

Wow. That was awesome!
If you tell me it's an official witcher 3 track, i believe it. Superb quality in every aspect!
Regards, traz

Wow, totally breathtaking! This is a very rich musical presentation. All the instruments sound spectacular. Nice progression. You are definitely a top guy here. Well done!

Until Tea Time, Cheers!

Hey Orrie,
Waiting for the next one my mate.

Whoa, I usually don't even consider listening to a track longer than 5min. I'm glad I let that go. This is an excellent composition, the drive of the track really keeps you engaged.
This is a beautiful track from beginning to end. Faved.
Great track.

PEACE...

Stunning intro. Leon this is such a beautiful piece of work. 3:08 kicks in some power, but you pull it back. nice use of power and restraint, adds emotional value. Well done, you are one of the best composers on this site and I enjoy listening to your Work.
Ciao

Leon! Hello my friend! Damn. I knew I dropped by The Loop today for a reason. It's been quite awhile. I hope all is well with you and yours.

The intro in this has no specific realm. Meaning, it leaves it open to go in any direction. My imagination was already starting to go one way, and then you came in from a completely different direction with the beautiful guitar arpeggios, accompanied by the spacious piano.
When the strings come in they sound as if they're Celtic strings that have been kissed by the middle east.
A nice simple drum beat. But that's what it needs to be. Any more and they would overstep their boundaries. The other percussive elements fill in the spaces perfectly.
Leon, I have always been a fan of your layering and overlapping transitions. You do not disappoint here.

But, then again, you never do.

Beautiful work as always, sir. Once again, I find myself wishing I could tap into the peaceful part of myself and create something that isn't so...aggressive.

Until next time, my friend, as always...Take care.
Aaron.

Hey Leon! Hope things are going well for you and yours.

Beautiful track, acoustic guitar and piano make such a nice sound together. Then add some strings and a few sound effects, pads and such and the song blossoms into an expansive soundscape for the ears to swallow up, digest and enjoy!

Great mix as usual. Take care!

Bonito tema para relajarse. buena guitarra. Piano sorprendente y hermoso. Bien hecho amigo. Paz y salud.

Hello Orrie,
Wow, just beautiful my friend.
This is a walk in the park for you mate.
Well done.
Maj

Stunning my friend, what a warm empathetic soundtrack, the keys are beautiful, the accoustic guitar adds the gentle touch, the strings heighten the feeling, the drum beat adds an urgency in the second phase, really good listen and fav

You've come along way on these songs [loops]. This was magnificent and filled with empathy and pain, in living colors. Way to go 'Man' Keep em' comin' Orlando51 Peace and good health DDC

Sound is amazing - every instrument is crisp and crystal clear. The guitar arpeggio is dominant but somehow reminds me of a harpsichord (or maybe that is in there too)and the violin (?) is beautiful. Quite forlorn and very atmospheric. Chill out chamber music : )
