Ahh when two of my favourite composers get to work together it's like looking at the sun.... Intro is awesome and builds upon the tension of what's going to come. 1:30 gives us a slew foot drum beat with a nice piano riff intermixing with T-weeds sublime g-tar. Bass is simple but effective. I think to make this truly work you need a more movable bass-line. And I would bring the guitar more forwards in the mix. The piano should be more in the background. This is a good song, just needs a deft touch in the mixing department. 4:30 gives us a hint of a possible cool synth solo but chickens out.
I hate to critique ... but This has such potential to be a potent song but it feels to me that it is stumbled or blocked by something. Missing a flow or chemistry in both your awesome talents. I will listen again tomorrow with a clearer(less tired working a lot) mind and maybe give some more thoughts to this one. As I really appreciate the work you both do. And respect you both as amazing musicians.

Many thanks for your honest and comprehensive review, as well for the general compliments...to tell you the truth I'm becoming tired of this song, but not because of the music itself, but because I have quite a few different mixes and arrangements of it and I can never decide which mix works best...I think it all depends of a preference of a certain listener in the end. Normaly I would tend to remixing it again and again, but I'm sick of it...I had too many headaches because of it already and I just need to start fresh on something else...
I think you guys are a magnificent combination with combining your talents together, this beat is really groovy man~ is there anyway possible I can work with you guys?
Hello Anthony, thx alot for a positive feedback...otherwise I'm always open for possible collaborations. You can contact us by private message...cya around...
This is very nice to hear! It seems very balanced to me in many ways. Like you have a very strong pop undercurrent, but it's not prescribed and repetetive as much pop is. Both the guitar and the keyboard work are fantastic performances! It's good to see you have a large following, because in another time this would have been on the radio for sure. I enjoyed listening very much!
Just like you, I appreciate the collaborations with Ed .... He has the gift of being able to integrate into the music that we propose, its peculiarity and the result is always very precise and very elaborate. The evidence here, while being of a great discretion, we feel his presence .... This is really great, and very pleasant to listen to. The big, very big "work" for this concept.
Thank you for sharing your talent.
Bonjour Dan...always nice to have you on my page.:)
Yeah,...I think all those collabs with Ed took me on entirely new level... With every collab I did with him I had a feeling that his music helped me alot to develop my own abilities even more. I'm afraid I will never be able to express my gratitude to him in a proper way. Word "thank you" is just not good enough when thinking of him...
This last collab was maybe a bit different than others, cause there were so many alternatives to explore from both sides. Just when we were about to finish and make the final decison together, Ed came into situation which resulted in obvious lack of time for him, so he left the final decision of how things should sound in the end entirely to me...so this was a moment of little uncertainty to me, but it is what it is and I'm glad you like it.:)
As always, thanks alot for your great and supportive coment.
Cool intro, reminds me a little of Pink Floyd. Now the guitar starts and in with the beat. Yeah man this is slow and funky.
Really good collaberation you've done here. The two styles mix really well. Ed's guitar and your piano make a splendid combination, the clarity is superb and you've hit this one out the park. I'm becoming quite a fan of yours Orlando.

Well...that intro...while it's not among my best, it was still
just good enough to keep it in, and yeah, maybe it is a bit floydish. Overall it turned out quite nicely, although there were many other alternatives in question, but here is the version I decided on...so be it.:)
About becoming my fan...ughhh...this is almost scary thought to me...ofcourse it's nice to have that kind of following, but on the other hand it brings some kind of responsibility with it and sort of burden of pressure not to disappoint.:)
Anyways, many thanks again for your positive comment and support...
Pure, clean, music from your hearts and instruments...not too many of us could present feelings in such sincere way like you Orlando...
But if it wasn't an aim, Ed's guitar is at the back a bit...if it was, forget my description...:-)
It was...and it wasn't! We made a few different mixes of this piece and it's just too complicated to explain what was going on along the way. Ed wanted less guitar after I added a piano...I wanted more of it ofcourse...in the end this mix presented here is a kind of a compromise... We may decide to upload some other version in the future...we will see:)^^
Anyways, thx alot as always for your great and honest feedback...
What a beautiful song, so soothing so relaxing, so enjoyable to listen too it, nothing more I could add here that others have already said it before myself...MASSIVE fav man...Stunning work...Made my day for me hearing this amazing piece...Peace n Respect...Mosaic...
I almost forgot about this track, it's been quite some time since it was uploaded...and now baaaaam...extremely positive feedback from you...what to say other than big thank you for checking it out and posting this generous comment...high level of appreciation from my side..surely means alot to me.:)
This is very pleasant to hear! I really like the seond half especially. The plucked guitarish sounds are very cool, is that samples or synths or what? The subtle piano accents really add depth too. I don't usually go out of my way to listen to ambient anymore, but I wanted to hear your latest, and I'm glad I did! A very good artistic effort!
Well..actualy it's not my latest (chek the featured page to catch my latest)...you asked about guitarish sound...no samples of any kind were used here. I've made that particular sound with DN-1 synth.
Thanks alot for checking this out....much appreciated as always...
Yes, that central pad was a tricky one to make. I've build it very carefully combining numerous different pads before I came up with the final version and I think it turned out quite
nicely...thank you so much for recognizing some quality in it!
This is surprisingly good. The native Americans would agree with me! When I heard your track Orlando, I think of UFO's straight away, so I came up with an alternative title in case you need to redo/remix it - "The Secrets of Area 51."
Thanks for sharing this calm piece into a chaotic world. - B
Hi there, Billy...nice to have you here again. As always, you have interesting and in most cases unique observations of my music....I really appreciate your recommendation for the alternative title... usualy I don't change titles of my tracks once shared...but I can surely make another piece of music using that one you suggested-:), it's just that I have to wait for the visit of the Muse, and then anything can happen...
Many thanks for positive feedback and stay well, my friend...
Nice job here Orlando.
Really dig the pads as well.
Well produced for effective mood enhancement which is the goal. Ambient and Cinematic ? It can definitely work either or.
Yeah, thx....Actualy I've made four pad versions for the central pad and then decided to combine all 4 together. I hope I got nice result...and yeah, it's all about ambience here...no further than that:)
Don't know anything about that Fallout stg, but this is a stunning and pleasant journey on those synth pads and melodies...fabulous work Orlando as usual...
Hey, my friend...when you say so, then it must have some value:)I always appreciate your opinion with high regards!
You don't have to know anything about Fallout cause it's really of no importance here. The reference to it is just in it's title..Mojave desert is the prevailing environment in Fallout...that's all.
Thx alot as usual...hope all is well in the neighbourhood...

grandiose "Pad" coming in 0:34...
beautiful scriptures, notes an innovative instrument.
has some extremely interesting variations over the course of the composition. I liked these variations, it always comes as a surprise in music.
I remember of his last compositions, something that has the same sense of "journey"
That's what I would say, "a journey of music."
I'm impressed with your story.
all respect my friend.
Keep it up!!!
