Between - The Waves The Wind And The Wings - JAI26

Description : 7/29/26 - Updated mix (lowered soundscape, increased guitar and added tape simulation)

I made it as an experiment using BandLab's free tier with no external gear. The soundscape comes from Freesound, and the guitar was recorded using only my cell phone's mic.

If you hear someone gasping for air, don't worry - it's just me remembering to breathe between chords ;) - JAI

Going back and working on previous songs to improve them is a useful tool. I didn't hear the original, but considering what u used to create it, this one is nicely done

Thanks - It surprised me as well. Someday just for fun I'll record my acoustic with my normal mic (nothing fancy) and my cell at the same time and see what the actual difference is...

Now sure how I missed this one, but I've listened twice now and need more. Guitar is the star of course, melodic and fluid. And yes, simplicity it's often the key. Cheers Bobo.

Thanks for the comment. This one really seems to connect with people for whatever reason. I am glad you liked it and honestly I took peoples feed back and adjusted the mix and I agree and think it is a bit better now.

Peaceful is nice. I just peeked outside tonight and sat in my camping chair to watch the sun go down. We need nature and those peaceful moments to reset the ... balance in our lives. I appreciate people like you who recognize the need for that in our lives. Merci!

I saw that you are in Canada. I'm guessing it was a nice evening. It was cooking here today! Speaking of camping chairs... I was actually going to be camping this week, but I decided not to go because of a wildfire near the area I was headed. That's ok I have more planned.

This is absolutely beautiful, James! Honestly, knowing that you recorded that acoustic guitar solely with your phone's mic and used BandLab's free tier blows my mind. The tone sounds incredibly warm and organic, that DADGAD tuning gives it such a magical, floating atmosphere. The way the seaside soundscape and the seagulls blend with your melodies completely achieves what you set out to do. Its a perfect slice of peace. (And don't worry, the breathing just adds to the raw, human vibe!) Brilliant execution, man!

I didn't even know what bandlab was a couple of weeks ago. But once I heard about it I wanted to check it out. You know it's funny and maybe teaching me something but this track had no thought or effort put into it. I just grabbed a recording off my phone of my playing and through it together. I'm wondering if sometimes we over think and complicate things... This was raw and I think maybe that's what is coming through.. IDK
Thanks for the kind words and feedback though I appreciate it.

first off gotta say that acoustic guitar sounds really good for having been recorded on a cel phone mic. Enjoying the listen. You play well and the tune does indeed do what you set out to accomplish. Big well done to you. Keep on. Ed

I was rather surprised it sounded pretty good. It was recorded in a room with no treatment as well. It was actually recorded not even thinking it would be put into a piece. I guess it shows just how much you can do in post processing...

Well, it turns out I'll be able to record tonight. If I'm able to finish the mix by tomorrow, I'll send you the sample so you can record your vocals and, hopefully, add some additional guitar. When you're done, just send me the stems.

James that is a beautiful piece you played, the backing cinematic music is really nice too, there was a peace and solitude about it, very calming to listen to with the seagulls and the tide washing in, i was born 10 mins from the sea, i worked on the southwest coast for 3 years, now I live in the UK second city, no coastline for miles, but its 34 C and humid, i listened to this with my eyes closed and thought about past days by the sea, and i hope one day to retire by the sea

Dime - You know what? I hope that retirement by the sea comes earlier than expected. Sounds pretty awesome.

Oh man, this is beautiful. The seagulls complemented the melodies so perfectly, James. Everything just falls right into place.

Thanks Richard and no worries on getting that vocal to me. Keep Mama happy. That's what's really important.
I am working the track and hope to have rough demo ready by early next week.

Love the track man! Definetly gives peaceful vibes, especially on a sunday afternoon like this. The ambient background(eventhough a bit loud) is really giving it a nostalgic touch. Would love to sea this as music on an video with ocean view.

Hey Bonez - Thanks for the comment. This piece is in the tuning of DADGAD. If you haven't ever given it a try you should it really lends it's self to this style of music. Also I just listened to your latest track you just released. That sounded great to me. Keep it up and stay cool :)

A beautiful song. Were those nylon strings? Fav'd. Slight critique: When using live sound effects to make the point of the song, use them in the beginning, and then lower them in the mix so they do not distract from the amazing guitar work, then ever so slightly bring them back in at the end. Your acoustic Guitar is the star of this and should be the main focus. Great work!

Hi crucethus. No those are normal steel strings. Thanks for the feedback. I will keep that in mind if I do something like this again. I'm glad you liked it.

Description : This fragment, tells you a little story about me. Before iam going to upload something again. Its been a while since i was here. But somehow i never forgotten about this place. Because in the early days of looperman. This was my place to be as well. And somehow it will always remain a soft spot within me. And yeah it was probably time for me to return back to this place anyways. And see what happend and changed here all together throughout the times. when i left the place some while ago.

Description : Beneath moonlight, men become bolder, braver, foolisher, more themselves than they dare be beneath any watching sun.

I understand this pull well, pleasures I would never confess to seeking, temptations the day's judgment kept politely caged.

There is joy in it too, I'll admit, laughter sharper, drink sweeter, desire honest for once. But the night that liberates also loosens what should stay bound.

Every dawn, someone wakes wondering which version of themselves the dark set free.
