Hi, thanks a lot. Yeah it was fun trying to layer all the synths and get it sounding good with just two notes. I'm thinking about doing a piece sometime that only allows you to use two fingers in playing any instruments. The two finger challenge, what do you reckon lol.

WOWW!!! Chris,
This has got to be one of the most finest productions ever on LM. The quality of this floored me seriously, I give creators their dues and man what a beautiful production here. Manu's voice is really nice the whole production is Mint! BRAVOOOO!!!

Hi there, thanks so much. I only supplied the bones of an initial track/idea really. Manuela and her band need to take the credit. And yes, I love her voice in this one particularly. All the best, Chris.

Hello, good track buddy, I remembered the golden days of Roxette , love it
Zootman
Zootman replied 9th Feb 2026 - 2 days ago
Thnaks mate, it's considerably changed from the track I sent to Manuela, but much of the basic chord structure is there, and some of the lead guitar is similar too.

Beautiful. Has a kind of Irish folk feeling to it.
Zootman
Zootman replied 9th Feb 2026 - 2 days ago
Yes, I could almost have put it under folk really. I loved the concept and lyrics they came up with. My original song had no vocals/lyrics but when I heard this I thought it suited the intent of my vibe perfectly. If I ever finish my version, I might even steal the lyrics....

Yeah the production they did on this is pretty awesome. Different, a lot more polished than I would do, but that's fine. Cheers man, Chris.

Fook yeah bro. Good stuff. When stuff like this happens, making music is at its most rewarding. I have a Similar situation with Manuela and a song I was working on. Ive been thinking about finishing it lately and this inspires me to do so even more. Top notch song bro.

Zootman replied 9th Feb 2026 - 2 days ago
Yes I agree, I was resistant initially to doing colabs cause I felt protective and wanted the only input, but I've come to realise it's super constructive to hear what other people do and to be inspired by that. And if it doesn't work, then that's OK too. Cheers man, Chris.

Awesome track))
I very like the ambient ah-ah-aha-ah-ahs
Imo the drums are a bit too loud
Zootman
Zootman replied 10th Feb 2026 - 1 day ago
Thanks man, had another listen, I thought the drums were about right. Might have to disagree with you on that one, but always good to have critical comments. That's what it's all about. Cheers Zoot.

This is the type of stuff that I associate with you the most, especially since youre so good at it. There are many uses for this stuff, u should shop it around

Thanks man. I've always appreciated your support. I wouldn't know where to start 'shopping it around' plus who buys music anymore?! Cheers bro.

Bro!
This is too good!!!
Outstanding for some trailer music for example.
I prefer minimal!
Hats off,
Danke

Zootman replied 2nd Feb 2026 - 1 week ago
Minimal is the way it will be eventually! I came to that decision too. That's mate and all the best. Chris.

Such a beautiful tune - conjures up images of butterflies opening their wings, walking across sunflowers, ladybirds climbing irises, swallows rising on the swell of a breeze. Your title clashed with my imagery, I guess. Loved the solidity of the bass against the ambient beauty of this track, Zoot
Zootman
Zootman replied 2nd Feb 2026 - 1 week ago
Thanks for the input K. I like your imagery and agree it better fits the vibe. I was channeling Winnie the Pooh with the title. Anyway, perhaps I'll change it to In Which I See Me Clearly.... Not so negative and it still sounds like a chapter in Winnie the Pooh. All the best Chris.

In our humble opinion, your work is peak when its minimal, but we wouldnt be mad at this getting more attention either. You have a knack for this ambient type of stuff, well done
Zootman
Zootman replied 2nd Feb 2026 - 1 week ago
Kia Ora, thanks mate. Yeah I'm going to finish it sans drums I think. Soon as I get some time away from work.

Hello Zootman, its sounding pretty darn good, can't wait to hear further enhancements.....very soothing and earthy

Hi Glenn, late reply. Been off grid last few days, no connection at all, a rarity in this world and a beautiful thing. I'll finish this when I get the chance..... Cheers brother.

Really cool track bro. I like it!
I would like to hear extended version too.
Zootman
Zootman replied 2nd Feb 2026 - 1 week ago
Might have to do two! But I think I've decided to stick with my original intent and keep it short and minimal without drums. Possibly partly out of laziness lol. Cheers Chris.

The best thing I can say about this track is that it sounds organic to my ear - as though I just plucked it from a tree, ripened and ready to consume. No adulterants. Just good, wholesome ear-food.

Thanks for sharing.
Zootman
Zootman replied 2nd Feb 2026 - 1 week ago
Organic is the best possible descriptor to me. And I agree. When I came up with the little sequence thing that runs all the way thru, that's exactly how it made feel. Thanks a lot.

nice ambient track Chris, got a bit of zen about, love the clicks and pops all the percs work great, lovely melody too, i like the drums but i love a track when the drums don't play right thro too, the synth work alone will easily carry the vibe, so for me, extended it but drop the drums for 4 bars or 8, but bring them back and drop em again, and finish with them quieter or just the melody, these are just thoughts mate, but tbf its all there so however you decide your gonna get a great result because the sound is all there, hope thats a help,nice work nontheless
Zootman
Zootman replied 2nd Feb 2026 - 1 week ago
Thanks for the input mate. Some of those clicks and pops aren't supposed to be there, though some are. I'll have to track them down when I take another look at it. I did the tracking for this in about 2 hours at the kitchen table, trying to ignore my domestic duties lol. Anyway I've kind of decided to leave it pretty minimal. Cheers mate.

Once again you prove that humans make the best music. I absolutely love an electric piano, and this lovely track gave me plenty to enjoy. Really smooth vibe with all of the pieces in the right place. Well done human!!! I hope all is well.

Zootman replied 23rd Jan 2026 - 2 weeks ago
Yeah, Rhodes just have that beautiful sweet dreamy sound. I'm always looking for an opportunity to use one. Back when I was at school 40 years ago there was a real one in the music room. I've never forgot it. There was also a korg synth with all the patch cables.... We never could work out how it worked, but had fun trying. Cheers Zoot.

Nice track, guitars well played (I specifically liked those harmonic notes) in a rather dark scenery which very well supported.
It is an interesting theme, gave to my rather cinematic vibes, there is a mystery somehow.
Best regards, Anthony

Thanks Anthony. I love harmonics on the guitar. So pure. Cheers Zoot.
