These tracks definitely give the impression that you are tuning in to your focused sound, and they feel more like a finished product as opposed to a "trial" or work in progress sort of song. Has the feel of good classic rock. Could be nice on a record! Jazzy, bluesy, and fun! Fave!
Thank you! Actually Zank recorded (in fact programmed) guitars to my backing track I sent to him earlier. I didn't expect this one sounding like this. Basically it's a compilation of 2 takes on his guitars (second part was first). I played electric piano bass and main electric piano (kontakt plugins). Drums are from EZdrummer (single snare electronic loop added).
thank you for good words! I really appreciate that. I played bassline on Rhodes piano (Kontakt plugin) using a very simple midi keyboard. I tried to stick as possible with the guitar - that may be a reason for the overall coherent mix sound.
happy you liked. A.
Hi Alex,
The guitar is veeeeery good! Credits to MrZank for playing it and to you for bringing it to "life". Very good!
I like a lot the way you build keys counterparts to keep the track "bouncing" around, never boring. Excellent!
Genius touch: the idea of a short pause after the first part ... simply beautiful!
A song I really liked.
Ciao, Domenico
thanks again for nice comments Zank. As I said your guitars are great. I manipulated the effects a lot so it might be quite different from the original.
Hi MrAlex,
A wonderful relaxing track:
- everything is simply "perfect"
- the guitar is tasteful and works very well in this context... kudos to MrFranco...but this is nothing new ;-)
- good work on the keys: they keep the song "moving" and interesting
Are you planning to release this song somehow?
Very good work.
Ciao, Domenico
Thank you Domenico for a nice comment. Yes, for sure I will be releasing complete albums in a long perspective at some point in the future. I have many tracks ready to go but they are stylistically very different. If you want to have this song contact me via my lm profile. I can send you also my newest song, unlike this smooth jazzy one here it is a bit more aggresive and changing: https://soundcloud.com/promenade2239/wave-blues-feat-toneart-and-taratoxic
I usually always check out your tracks when I see them, Alex, and I saw my partner, Franco, had a hand in your wonderful creation, so it was a double treat.
Great job, as always. Some really smooth, fine jazz.
As I'm listening to this right now. It's a perfect ending to my day. I just stopped working on one of my tracks after listeing to the same loop for like 3 hours and this sounds so nice and soothing to my ears. Definitely digging how the melody is just continuous throughout & the subtlety of the drums. Very very nice work !
Thanks. I can understand that. I started 'laptop music-making' in 2012 and remember a great amount of time I spent on each sound. I am a classicaly trained keyboardist but that was really a new thing for me, lot of hard work. I felt like I was wasting my time. No difference these days. What can I say... effort is needed till you get to this point when all is effortless (sounds like a maxim lol).
Thanks Rico. Agreed: ferryterry did a great job on guitars. He played 2 choruses then you can hear my el. piano improv also for 2 choruses and onece again the guitars. I was thinking if I can find someone to play over the last part which seems lack the solo but probably I leave the composition at this point for now.
Thanks for listening and some nice words. It is appreciated. Alex
I love ferry terry's drumming. This is very cool and laid back and nicely mixed Alex. Swoosh effects are awesome.
I think this is my favourite work of yours so far. Fav'd for sure.

Hi MrPromenade,
Great track.
I like the 70s feeling on the drums...nice touch integrating some percussions as well (without overdoing it).
The work on the key and way it "interact" with the guitar, together with the usage of the sound FX is amazing.
It remembers me a bit of Jaffa's Elevator.
Of course, MrFranco is "at high level" as usual.
Again, really a great track.
Ciao, Domenico
Thank you MrWolf for some nice words.
I will check out Jaffa' Elevator. Happy you liked the production and it is really nice to hear such a kind feedback.
I have a new song with ferryterry - with even more interesting guitar and piano playing: a minor blues jam track. I will post it later today.
Thanks again for listening and very nice review. It is appreciated. Best, Alex
This was quite enjoyable Alex. Such a nice laid back rnb groove. Both of your talents work well together, the song sounds great! The low tones of the keys almost go unnoticed but they add a lot, nicely mixed!
Thank you Wayne for nice words! I played the keys on plugins (MrRay22 is my favourite), lots of effects. Ferryterry's guitar part is quite short in here - it was something from our older project but I noticed some fragments may fit here.
I have a new track ready to go (again a collab with ferryterry) - I will upload it today later. It is a chilled jam track over a minor blues with some nice soloing he just recorded.

Yes, ferryterry has excellent acoustic loops on this site, like this one: http://www.looperman.com/loops/detail/58472
I used it on many of my tracks, here's some:

In here the drums are exclusively from Ezdrummer plugin, combined with some loops for congas.
