Hello Mark,
Everything here is top-notch, and I would have expected nothing less from you. I followed your request, listened critically, and would like to mention two things... one is where the strings come in so prominently; they're very loud there, to my ears. And the other is... the snare is too far back in the room, or rather, there's too much reverb on it. But everyone hears and perceives things differently.
Honestly, my friend, I'm sure your mastery would still come through clearly even if everything were completely distorted and unmixed....
Peace
Micky
Micky thanks for stopping buy and sharing your observations. Those strings was definitely on full blast. Now they're sweet. The snare got compressed and set in a different space. The comments you gave are valued big time.
Peace,
Mark
Hi Mark,
That's absolutely amazing again! It's incredible how you're able to pull something like that off. I imagine how hard a real drummer would have to work to keep it up. But after recently watching the entire live recording of Coltrane's "My Favorite Things," I realized what people with the right ambition are capable of.
4go De Chao is a fantastic, absolutely entertaining trip at the highest musical level! You're completely in your element.
Cheers,
Micky
Greetings Micky! Your stop, comments, and presence is an high honor. Latin drumming is extremely busy. Check out Horacio Hernandez on You Tube.
Coltrane's "My Favorite Things" is by far my favorite version of that song. I will check the documentary.
The journey aspect for this track was my full intent. I appreciate the time you took out for this listen. I'm happy you enjoyed what you heard.
Peace,
Mark
Your tracks are always wonderful lessons in how to use elements sparingly but effectively, following the motto: less is more. Thank you for that!
Cheers,
Micky
Hi Dan, yes, you could think of Eurovision Song Contest, but I think the track is too good for that. After watching ESC, I often get a headache from the concentrated attacks on my ears, eyes, and good taste. But after listening to your track, I feel better than before... so there's a definite difference! You've integrated the Balkan sound brilliantly. And a huge compliment to Leona! Great sound, cool track!
Cheers,
Micky
I liked it from the beginning, and it hasn't diminished throughout. To my ears, it's very well produced, and while I recognize the influences, I still see it as a standalone work. You have something to say and you execute it artistically very well. I find things like that difficult, which is why I don't even attempt it, but you clearly succeed. Aside from the message, it's simply a beautiful piece of music. Do you play those guitars yourself? Hats off, man!
Thank you so much, Mickey. I wish I could play Guitar like that, but I come close with my Synths, and a Nice Roland Me-30 Guiar Processor. Been doing that since 98!
Hi Anthony, a very interesting track to listen to. There's something symphonic about it, like a classical composition. Plus a touch of psychedelic. Great work.
Cheers,
Micky
Hello Micky
You know this psychedelic touch is something I've been told again, on other tracks. I do not do it on purpose, it's just my stuff I recon. I would possibly get to know this style of music, you never know I may discover some kind of proximity to it, better than other styles. Thank you so much for listening and commenting, I appreciate it a lot.
Best regards, Anthony
Hi my friend, I hope you're well. I was going through the old tracks and I got really melancholy... so much good stuff. This one is another great example of your magic.
Would love to hear from you again sometime.
Cheers,
Micky
Wow!!! I see we still share a psychic link. I looking at loops today on LM. It's amazing that you checked out our track the same day. We gotta get the band back together. I'm sure this was a sign.
Hi Chris, that's another beautiful track from you. And as always, it strikes me as absolutely cinematic; it exudes the expansiveness typical of your work. I feel like it reflects the wonderful, expansive nature in which you live. The mix and master are also super transparent. Great work.
Best regards,
Micky
Hi Micky, thanks as always mate. A few other people have been saying 'cinematic' too so maybe there's something there. Been away a few days so hopefully catch up on some listening myself soon. Cheers Chris
Hello Mykael, that's a particularly beautiful track, even if it's probably still unfinished. I really like your intonation... it's always as if you're truly melting into the song. That really shows the qualities of a true singer.
Peace,
Micky
Hey FrenZ, I enjoyed the track (despite the depressing subject matter)... the constant ups and downs... it's extremely realistic and actually describes what I hear from beyond the horizon every day. It's a very well made, contemporary track. Compliments.
Cheers,
Micky
Hi Glenn, I'm always amazed at how incredibly relaxed your work is. It's an art, and certainly not for everyone, to approach things in such a relaxed manner. Great work!
Best wishes,
Micky
Hello Micky, thanking you for listening of course and commenting....I would say a lot of the music I upload I feel so connected to.....so playing and improvising is kind of personal and thought provoking and it kinda comes out that way I guess.....being relaxed certainly helps to minimize mistakes as well....and a few nice surprise note choices when you feel no urgency....if that makes sense. Anyway thank you my friend.
Really, Rita. I would never have expected that from you. It's so completely different from anything we've heard from you before. But it just goes to show that sometimes you can get incredible results when you step out of your comfort zone. That's definitely the case here. The track is so harmonious with your voice, as if it was written for you. Very good - keep it up!
Best wishes,
Micky
Hi Mickey.
I never thought so either but miracles still happen lol.
I am also very happy with this result.
concerns the comfort zone.
It depends on me whether I feel the music and the vibe that I feel makes me sing like that.
Unfortunately, that is not often.
Thank you so much for your compliment and nice words.
My goodness, how lucky I am to have found this by chance. It's top notch. All sorts of styles come together here, but they all fit perfectly together, yes, into each other. You have an incredible feeling for putting things like this together... real art! Even the wrong notes are right.
My big compliment.
