Description : "Spaghetti Western" feel to this. I played the acoustic like a mando, with the fast strumming. I updated this by remixing and mastering. It really needed it and I think it sounds much better.

I love spaghetti, especially the western kind. It's always fun to go back a few years and listen to your work. This piece is timeless, and really does belong in a movie. I watched Cowboys and Aliens last night and this would have worked in several scenes.

Awesome Wayne. Love your guitar work. I now await a spring break song from you, haha.

Thanks man! I recorded all the tracks through the mic input before I owned a digital interface. For an older track it still sounds pretty good. I'm trying to do some recording and learning on Ableton and trying to recapture this type of sound again but with more quality to the recording.

Thanks for stopping by. New songs soon!

"Spaghetti Western" ..... and the good, lonesome hero rides where the sun rise. Yeah - I loved Trerence Hill when he was "Nobody".
So your own description invided me to a trip back into the past.

Last not least - the music is well done! :-)

One of the few acoustics songs i've heared that stands strong without a vocal. Diverse range of sounds there, look to hearing more, well done and keep going.

This is just a gift, Wayne. Can't echo earlier comments enuff re the music. Yr production itself stands out too - the separation and presence of all the instruments works so well in this mix. Respect + thanks for more great music!

Thanks Michael. The original 8 bit tracks needed a little overhaul and some polishing. Glad you liked!

Thanks Estefano.

You'll venture out soon and start trying new things. You're just perfecting a couple genres first before you move on and master a few more!! And I believe you will!!

Much respect!

Nice work, really good piece. i feel u need to work on ur outro of the track. other than that i really liked the track. what gear do u use for recording?
theHumps
theHumps replied Unknown
Thanks tinphish,

Yea all my songs could use a lot of work!lol Yea, it just kinda ends I guess, Oh well, haha!!

I just bought a new computer with a Windows 7 upgrade. This presents a problem in a couple of ways. My current software, Cool Edit Pro, isn't 100 percent compatible with Vista 64 bit OS but works OK. I want to buy Adobe Audition 3 but it isn't Windows 7 compatible yet, and If I upgrade to Windows 7 Cool Edit may not work at all. So I'm in a holding pattern to upgrade till something works out. As a result my recordings lack the mastering "polish" they deserve.

For a condenser mic I use an AKG Perception 200. It's an awesome mic for the price!!

I like this one, I can imaging hearing it in an Antonio Banderas Film, like the next "Desperado". Great work.

The arrangement here is gorgeous. What I really like is how it's got that Spanish flavor, and yet it's been recontextualized into a more dynamic and current feeling. It's like you've reinterpreted a particular tradition and in the process have created something new.
theHumps
theHumps replied Unknown
Thanks nOmad23. When I posted it I started getting reviews saying it was a spaghetti western style, yet I never considered it(or a lot of my music) to be of any particular genre.

I think because I like all kinds of music, my music reflects that. I've been in this Spanish rut for a while and it's a good rut to be stuck in.

Wow the playing and the arrangement on this track are extremely well done! OOOooohh this is a beautiful piece! Wish I could play this well!

theHumps replied Unknown
Thanks Spivkurl for your review. When I first recorded it I thought it was too simple and sparse, like it needed more instruments. Sometimes less is more.

wow. Beautiful. Thick, lush - this is soooo natural and lush. Really loving that. Nice melody. It's like a musical cloud of bees and strings moving through the air in the forest. Simply wonderful, great work. All acoustic instruments?

Thanks CalifKen for the nice review, but a musical cloud of bees?hahaha, that's good!!

Just my acoustic guitar, my Fender jazz bass and Dr. Rhythm(my drum machine) on the drums. Keeping it simple!

I don't think the song was posted for more than a few minutes, when you and Frenchkid reviewed it. You guys are fast!
It's funny you mentioned motion picture, I'll be posting a few songs in the next few weeks where my friends call them "movie and TV theme songs".

I'll check out your tunes in a bit and thanks for the kind words.

This is not my story, but someone very dear to me... the lyrics are pretty close to what they said. What they said and the pain they felt touched me and I hope you can hear that in the song.
