Nice chilled out track, nice atmosphere and feel to this. Cool EZ drums, love their kits. Very well constructed fusion track, lots of elements to this track making it a very interesting listen. All the samples you used fit nicely and some nice keys and percussion used as well. Well done, nice mix!
Hi. I like the extremely laid back drums that start this off. Quite jazzy and then the excellent FutureAnalysis vocal sample comes in with some gentle keys.
Drums are almost too laid back! It's the sort of drumming I could play lots of jazz and blues guitar over.
0:50 more very good vocals. This is perhaps too strange and chilled out for some people so maybe that's why you don't have many comments so far.
3:37 those deep, ethereal vocals sound amazing and there's now some d'n'b from the drums. But the drums are lacking bass. A very weak kick. So the d'n'b doesn't really make the track uptempo. It's still very chilled out.
4:49 guitar sample? Very cool, funky playing.
This is a big, widescreen mega chillout piece that really is a fusion of a lot of things. Definitely my sort of sound and feel and lots of beauty to enjoy in this one.
hi,
Many thanks for listening and your comment.
I used ezdrummer for creating the 'jazz drums'. All the rest are samples. I layered the e-bass with many basses and the sub-bass also. This one can be nearly heard but it affects all the song. I am not using much automation but trying to create variations for some elements instead, for exemple I layered the keys to have three or four different 'colours' here.
I am really glad you enjoyed the song.
nice day,
A.
hi:)
yes, I am a fan and also love the multi - fusion music from WR! Thanks a lot for your nice comment:)
About the drums: I started with some very low Rhodes-piano notes then I added some jazz low-tom, hi-hat and other jazz drum sounds. The rest is simply a resonance of that so it could continue...
Thanks for your time and listening:) Much appreciated!

Hey, I quite like this! Has a cool chilled out jazzy feel to it! I like the percussion in it and the synth sounds are cool! Good structure and everything sounds fluid, I cant really fault it at all! I like how it picks up energy with that dnb beat, Well Done!
For the most part, I like what you have done here....but I'm not sure the vocal part - especially the sections with the recognizable "Titanic" melody - actually works with the rest of what you have done. Having that melody is OK, but I think it detracts from the great work you have done on the instrumental underneath it. Perhaps you could find a different vocal that wouldn't stand out quite as much.
Or you could leave it as is, because I'm an idiot and don't know what I am talking about, haha. Seriously though, it is a great fusion cinematic piece worthy of a film. Beautifully crafted. Well done. I hope all is well.
Hi and many thanks for your comment.
I do not know music from 'Titanic', haha:) byt think all
vocal lines are really good here and I like this composition exactly the way as it is. Of course it is possible to extend it and add some another sections for example with some instrumental improvisations or just work on it again and see what comes up more:)
Nice day to you,
A.
Hi again. You said in another reply that you’re a classically trained musician. And I can hear that in your playing. I always sort of assume that classically trained piano/ keyboard players play at least some jazz as part of their learning.
I’m a poor to average keyboard player (stringed instruments are my thing and what I feel most comfortable and natural playing) so definitely can’t do the keys work that you do. I program a lot of my synth stuff but couldn’t program the timing and touch and improvisational stuff that you’re doing just in this track.
I’d probably really screw up programming the last piano section that is a strange mix of melodic and atonal.
“I will let you know when I will record something on changes”
This track is pretty damn good without any changes. I guess I would have preferred it to be a bit longer and less rushed but I like longer form music in which I get to hear sections for longer. If a riff or part is good, I usually like to hear it at least a few times.
Hi,
I am aspiring jazz-keyboard player so far and I will try to be able to play also some songs (standards). That's what I mean by playing 'on changes': playing lines along the song structure. Classical training is fine but jazz kind of improvising require an another training and takes some time...
Anyway I am happy that the track sounds quite good and jazzy. Good point with the outro part - it is indeed too 'atonal'. I'll try to keep the music more condentrated and 'corresponding' in the future.
I agree that it could be difficult to program and emulate some improv in the song, but it is possible to some degree, I think. I do not normally use programming for this, but sometimes I quantize the timing some notes when I am not happy with the result. That's because I am working only on plugins at the moment. They do not have a proper response as the real instrument does.
Many thanks for your time and comments - it's always appreciated!

I'm not always in the mood for Jazz. I like it. But, I just have to be in the right mood for it. However, you toss in the xylophoes, and I'm all ears. There's something to be said about them. You used them well here. I don't really have any suggestions for this. Like I said, I'm not a huge jazz fan. I wouldn't know where to begin for suggestions. I just thought I'd show my support by letting you know that I really dig this one.
Thanks for sharing!
Glad you liked this eventhough you not a jazz fun:)
Yes the sound I've used is close somehow to xylo as you say, but it is in fact only a rhodes piano (three different rhodes layers and acoustic piano).
Many thanks for listening and your kind words!

This is some pretty raw acoustic sounding jazz, even though you're using some loops.
Bass gets very funky at times and plays some very cool lines.
Great ride cymbal groove at 0:12.
0:20 switch to a tight hat-based groove.
Very jazzy keyboard work to go with the bass and drums. I think you're playing a couple of different keyboard sounds.
1:08 piano stab chords I really like.
1:37 swing that ride cymbal again! Good change there though maybe that ride is just too short again.
But this is a pretty direct, short piece with lots of short sections and changes.
1:50 to the end piano (quite discordant as well as melodic) is well done. Quite a mix of melodic and atonal though, which isn't always easy to get right.
Well done and I don't really have any production criticisms.
I'm not actually a 'jazz musician',
but trying somehow to play a kind of improv on rhodes piano and the acoustic background acoustic piano as far as I can.
The loopes I used really fascinated me. I will let you know when I will record something on changes and so but that is something only to discover for me so far.
I really like this one promenade...its really well done all round so I certainly have no suggestions...just keep doing it....Its the kind of tune where I would just like to sit at a table at the back of the club & listen to you play some more......bravo....Ed
Those vocals sound familiar, lol. Thanks for sending me here, I like this, it is different. I like how you used the vocals here, sparingly but effective. Music is cool, bouncy and catchy, nice job with the remix. Mix sounds great, well done!
Love the stand up bass, sounds great. Nice mix of instruments, cool keys, piano. My first track of the day, great way to get it started. Liked how you finished with the piano with some great jazzy notes in there!
Liking the jazzy groove you have going on here, always enjoy tracks that have piano in them, hence why I prob use a lot in my trance tracks, allows for a vibe and feelings to come out of the track using piano, only thing I would suggest is turning down slightly the hi hat, seems to slightly over power at times, minor thing really, overall really enjoyable listen...Fav...Peace n Respect...Mosaic...
Hi Mosaic,
Many thanks for for taking a listen and your nice comment. And I agree: hihat seems to be a bit too loud in one of the drum loops.
Greetings,
A.
Really nice after the min mark. Sounds like the electric piano clips a tad too or is a lil bit distorted. The one electric piano that makes sort of a "dun!" type of sound gets a bit irritating sometimes. At least at first. Definitely a track that could grow on you though, great work bro. Adding a fav as well, peace
very cool mix of different sounds on this track. bass on the track is very funky and jazzy. I like all the different pauses that you have on the track they flow very well together. I know some times it can be hard to get a pause to flow right on a track. very good work on this song.
I always feel like my brain is boiling when listening to jazz-type of music. It tries very hard to find melody patterns that doesn't exist...or do exist but just for the one moment.
This is cool! Especially the piano going crazy in the outro. Loved it!
Thanks a lot SeriouslyJoking!
So it's a kind of a jazzy music not 'jazz' really:)
I agree: - it ends up far away from the all what it suppose to be at the beginning and in the midde:)
Nice day:)

Hypnotic work here, sultry vocals from Minette. Great grooves and percussion. Dig it alot! Very chilled out remix of Blackkasper's Purple Square track. Great job, peace
