Damn, Zoot,

I didn't get 3 sec into the track
before I had to go to the comments.
More in 2:38 sec.

Just like Wayne, I hear some Doors, but
that out front Guitar and occidental FX
is all you. Beautiful beautiful track. I
wasn't looking at the waveform while I was
listening. I had really hoped what was sounding
like the end of the track wasn't the end of the track
but.......

Great track. Faved.. te rangimarie from the topside...

Tumeke Mr Jynxz and peace to you too! Love your comment. I really wanted to sing on this but could find neither time nor inspiration. But I reckon Pseudoble came up with the goods to help me out, as he often does. Och aye.

I like this, reminds me of the trippy feeling the Doors would achieve in some of their songs. It has a "smokey" mix meaning it has a haziness, blurry almost feel to it, trippy. Looking for the pipe now, lol!

Great mix, not over compressed, lots of space, just right!

Hey Wayne, thanks a lot. I reckon the pedigree of this is firmly rooted in stoner garage band land. Thanks for listening as always, Chris

Awesome Zootman, great buttery vocal and nice chilled guitar playing. Nice mix on this one as well, the guitar almost sounds subtle against the vocal, good job for not over cooking the levels, sounds great ! :)

Zootman replied 6th Apr 2023 - 2 years ago
Thanks for the nice comment! I probably fluked the balance between vox and guitar given I had the two mics (1 condenser and 1 dynamic) positioned to try and capture both at once. Took a bit of compression to get on top of some of the peaks but yeah, the problem with the earlier version was a bit of clipping. I'm still very much learning the production stuff.

Thanks Mr BB. I added the delay to the mix just recently, wasn't sure it was a good move. I wanted it subtle so hopefully it sounds that way. cheers Chris

Hi Zootman .
I dont remember the older one anymore...my age lol.

Very peacefull

Zootman replied 4th Apr 2023 - 2 years ago
Thanks Rita, when I'm away from home and I have some spare time (as I was with this one) and I don't have the recording equipment it gets tempting to go back to some old ones and tinker and try to improve etc. Cheers Chris

Hi Paul thanks a lot man. Looking forward to hearing more from you, you must be cooking something up. Personally I'm feeling the urge to do more guitar music and have a few things on the go but no time to pursue and develop them.

Hi Michael. Thanks a lot. I didn't realize this was already showing in featured tracks. I hadn't had time to listen or comment to others and I'm about to go bush again for a couple of days. Weston63 did a great remix of it. He's got some very cool stuff on here.

Glad you enjoyed it. I recently spent a month down on one of NZ's subantarctic islands which was a real privilege but I think the isolation and drama of that landscape and human history got to me and came out subconsciously with this one.

Beautiful track - wonderful ambience of being under threatening skies in a vast landscape (surely will be wanted for a film!)

Hi there, gosh it's nice to get a comment out of the blue like this on an old track, thanks. I remember distinctly recording it as it was late night/early morning, both front doors were wide open and the full moon was shining in. There wasn't much forethought but yes, I was pleased with the vibe, and I still like the track myself so that's good! Cheers mate.
