Great! It reminds me an old song from Coolio "C U When U Get There"
This song -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tP1PXRiVoJw
I was hoping for some chours hits too. But it was great anyway. Keep it up.

Very soothing Humps.Like you, most of my tracks use only limited loops, and i find it a bit tricky to use loops exclusively on a track, so wanted to say a job well done.
I played this one while I was doing a bit of my day-job work. emotional evocation coming through nicely.
Perhaps you'll need to do more in the genre...
I'll keep watch
Thanks

Hey Wayne

Man this track is beautiful, just like your description, it fits well to this track, guitar is sensational, read vocals that Elaine had done for you, they sound so good for this track, friend please let me know when you have vocal version done as I would love to hear that, again this track is up with your very high standards Wayne, man I do have long way to go yet, but talent like you drives me to keep improving,as always Wayne thank you for sharing your talent, always a pleasure to the ears listening to your gems...Peace my good friend...Estefano....Instant Fav mate...

theHumps replied Unknown - 2028 years ago

I tried to get a close friend to sing the vocals with me but she passed on doing them. I think I'm gonna leave it the way it is. Thanks always for your kind words!! Take care Estefano!!

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!

theHumps replied Unknown - 2028 years ago

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

theHumps replied Unknown - 2028 years ago

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!

beautifully done... this will be in my head for a while! have you recorded any vocals over it yet? i heard your coal miner's son song and was waiting for your vocals to kick in, you got a cool sound... anyways, excellent song!

theHumps replied Unknown - 2028 years ago

Thanks man! Appreciate the kind words. I don't think I plan on putting vocals on this one. Some get them, some don't, lol. Marj, loopermember, just did a version with some vocals on it, check out her page.

this has an aasaasin cowboy vibe to it(thats my up and coming screenplay)when i hear this track it sounds like a guy whats to change his lfe around but has to go on a carzy gun blazing jouney before he finds peace.

Hey ! This is a suceed for your first Classical song =D

I listen a lot of classical and I compose too (but I'm beginning).

I love your song because it remembers me a cute and so soft sleeping song for children. Or you know these musical box :P

So keep working :)

Thanks Jowe for your kind words and thoughts.

Damn dude, you are very talented.
Listening to this I pictured my self in a cantina on a lazy sunday afternoon having a spot of sangria, and then someone dusty came through the swinging doors and gave me the stink eye. Recognising that hostilites were to shortly break out, I reached for my gun - when I realised that it was the cat walking into the room and was asking for a treat or a scratch ( where did the cat pick up that dust ??? , and that sumbrero ? )
Great track :)

Thanks!!

Humps, I have dreamed for years for a good surf treatment of this tune - you could do it! Nice treatment here - keep going!!

this is real good for your first classical song i really love how it sounds the arrangement of the instruments are incredible keep up the good work

Cheers,

theHumps replied Unknown - 2028 years ago

Thanks. I know it's a pretty simple song but it was very different using samples rather than recording all the instruments and dealing with all the issues of live recorded tracks. It was fun to do.

Hope to do some more things that are different from my usual writing style.

Nice bit of experimentation into orchestral arrangement - nice.

theHumps replied Unknown - 2028 years ago

Thanks jfw. It's kinda simple but it came out ok.

I just got new recording software,installed it and it won't start up and keeps crashing. Until tech support figures it out I tried to drag and drop the wav file samples into my old software and it worked. At least I have something to use thats different. Oh well.....

tinphish 7th Nov 2009 16:44 - 16 years ago

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 replied Unknown - 2028 years ago

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 had to laugh at your response to JFW - I've had a mandolin built in the 1800's for about 20 years now, and I play mostly Sub-Saharan blues riffs on the thing, or I play it so it sounds like it's from the Ganges Delta. My balalaika only wants me to pick its strings! I'm thinking that instruments have their own "spirit" and the best music is finding their Voices and songs they "want" to sing. This is great stuff - I definitely hear how some hear an Ennio Morricone sound behind it, which personally I'd like to hear more often! Really nice work!

theHumps replied Unknown - 2028 years ago

Thanks NOmad23.

It's weird how instruments affect you. They all have their own personalities and you love each one like a love for each different child. Making music with instruments is totally different than using a computer to produce the sounds, there is a connection between you and the instrument and it is a unique experience.

Rock on dude!!!hahaha

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

Well this is the first track of yours that didn't create some entity moving through some environment in my mind. This time, it's just chill. Kind of like in the bar during the day, when the music IS more sober. This is also very QT.

Nice work!

(edit - argh! grammar. cheers bro)

theHumps replied Unknown - 2028 years ago

Thanks dude. It was real tough not to add more tracks.

Another beautiful one from you my friend. Very casual and pleasant. Nice work.

theHumps replied Unknown - 2028 years ago

Thanks again.

I did a video montage to this song using the Windows Movie Maker Program. Check my link to my my space page to view it. Just really nice pics depicting a comfortable Sunday Morning to the music.

Thanks, Wayne

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 replied Unknown - 2028 years ago

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.

Wayne, the Humps
