An exceptional piece, Evan. It does have a bit of a Zappa-esque feel to it. Even more so with the xylophone. I like the tempo and time signature changes (another Zappa trait.) All n all, Good job!
Really nice, even for a much older person. You're off to a good start. Hell, when I was your age, I had been studying music for a couple of years and computers were the size of large refridgerators!
This genre sounds to me like new age or world, but I realize we don't have those options in our genre selection.
Now, if someone asked me who this artist is without me knowing, I would swear it's Weather Report! They had this same type of vibe early on in their career.
Really good job on this one, even if I weren't a Weather Report fan.
Nice one, Alex. It has kind of a Weather Report sound, especially with the keys and bass. I see so many people use the term 'fusion' to describe their tracks, when it's clearly not. Yours, however, fits this genre perfectly. Great job!
Thanks a lot! I think WR is just pure fusion. It is something I am trying to 'emulate' but I do not think that 'emulating' is really a proper word here at all. All keyboards are just live performed as well as bassline and guitars (eventhough they are obviously loops) so in a way it is just some creative approach in here in finding the corresponding sounds from different classic genres mixed into some nice chillout.
Thanks again for some nice words - it is appreciated, Alex
Thanks much! Yeah, I guess I was going for a feel like when the minimal early 80's became the over-orchestrated mid 80's. I'm sure you know what I mean. It does of course have a lot of software involved, so doesn't sound authentically 80's though. I'm happy you enjoyed the listen. Appreciate it!
Richie, this is truly a marvelous piece! It is radio-ready, and in my opinion, would be as good and certainly better than the stuff on the radio, today! The clarity of your mix is great and you accomplished your task of allowing Farisha's wonderful voice to shine through. All in all, a very professional piece.
Thank you so much for the kind words. Much appreciated so thanks for taking the time to listen and post. Yes wouldn't it be nice to hear your own stuff on the radio. How good would that be? Glad you have picked up on the clarity of the mix as I do try very hard to produce "clean" recordings that allow the listener to hear everything that is going on.
"A professional piece" is praise indeed. Thank you.
Thanks so much, Musicante. I've just discovered the Mellotron. It was actually a comment by Scott here on Looperman that made me check it out. The VST works pretty well and it just made me try to create something beatleseque. The vocals are from Jacques Demers. He's composed for Cirque du Soleil. I'm pretty sure he hired session singers to do the acapellas that I used.
Thanks for stopping by and leaving the positive feedback. I am glad you enjoyed it. Scottb played the drums for me. I played all the other instruments.
Grazzie tanto Musicante!:) Yeah, I agree, it's more fusion than folk, but since some folks are very sensitive about usage of term fusion I've chosen something which might be prominent ingredient of the track.

it's good that you mentioned Wheather Report again. There's a great amount of music from 70's and 80's I really like and still find it inspiring.
Yes, your continuous mentioning of WR was a bit repetitive but I don't mind.
Just enjoy the music.
Thanks again for your comment, Alex
