Hello xstokes,

Believe it or not I've been walking around with the "Rhodes" part of this track for a long time waiting, for the right track to put it in. Yeah, I do just play the Synth part according to the key, rhythm and feel of the energy in the track on the spot.

Thank you for your encouraging words and comments.

PEACE...

more cautionary than controversial— appropriately haunting and entirely relevant.

That's the message I was aiming for. THanks for listening.

on Dodgeball by austinmusic

cool powerpop ballading — the vox/pno nail it, and the builds are really well-done. at times to me the mix gets a little too full, but the purity of the tune isn’t diminished. very nice work!

on In Gedanken bei dir by atw

very elegant, pretty song... i love instrumentals but man this is begging for a vocal to make it really complete... it’s a moving and effective piece nonetheless. well done!

atw replied 25th May 2021 - 5 years ago

Thank you. Agree, adding vocals would be nice , maybe with a classical singer ...

Wow! The shifts in tone are remarkable and what holds it together is that swinging groove — even when it drops out it’s present. That cymbal work is special, man. Damn the whole number has me smitten, i’ll be checking out your other pieces as well. Hope this finds you well as can be, mate!

on TinMan by NatalieThurston

there is a lot of cool invention happening here! the track has a nice momentum and the end is a very cool deceleration. my only gripe is the drums seem a bit lost in the mix. i would really like to be able to hear them better!

on Mar Ocidental by JustKent

very cool work! the harsh rock is a good counterpoint to the lorn words, giving this a salty, bitter edge. the keys really add push to the song. i think your forceful singing on this sounds great as well, man!

JustKent replied 24th May 2021 - 5 years ago

Portuguese rock is not the same as it was decades ago, now young people only listen to Portuguese hip hop and trap, or music with Brazilian and African influences, the Portuguese are very influential, and I think that someone should put rock in the place where it belongs in the top
as i'm 67 years old and i don't have money to invest in my music (recording in studio, and pay to make a good promotional video), that s not my rock who will make rock grow in portugal ... (sorry my bad english), in my youtube channel i have very few feedback as well, thank you xstokes

hey man, good to see you. this is hella wicked theme music! wildly tuneful and full of character.

krotan replied 11th May 2021 - 5 years ago

Thank you xstokes, I think this theme is impossible to play on a real musical instrument.

gorgeous, timeless, the kind of groove that slips under the skin and there’s a natural high and life just sways for a little bit. it’s a gift, pal. if there’s a heaven joey and deedee are singing.

theHumps replied 4th May 2021 - 5 years ago

Timeless was how I described the chord changes to someone earlier in the day, you can go back decades and find these chord changes in songs. To me this sounds like a song from the 50's.

Thanks!

Wayne
