Thank you for those nice words, the order of songs is as much of a mystery to me as it is to you.. dumb luck I guess!

Hi Midi.. Thanks for your comment. Well Amy's vocal is a studio acapella and I found it on youtube. And then I wrote this arrangement. The original track got a nice swing to it but mine is totally different from that.

Thank you, Ive been slowly refining my style and working at the vocals as of late, so its really appreciated when I get some feed back, Im glad you like what you hear cuz theres more to come soon.. thank you for the listen

I'm novice at this genre, but thank you :)

Thanks!

I don't know what the 12 tone concept really is. Don't think I've even heard of it.

I do know that I like micro tones and guess I use them quite a bit through all the slide playing I do (remember the bassline in this is mostly slide and then there's slide guitar in the rocking section).

Yes, rocking section in this is fun though probably the end needs to be extended by about a minute as it's getting into a cool funk jam and then ends. I like to build things up to go heavy just to show how things can progress. But I don't do it just for the sake of it - only if it works.

Thanks again for your thoughts.

merci pour ce commentaire domr

"Well u have a customer here"

Well I'm not selling anything yet. I'm planning to give a bunch of albums away for free through a site such as Bandcamp once I've got mastering and artwork done. I guess I could charge for them but this is real niche music so probably not worth trying to make any money off it.

Anyway, - I like all sorts of grooves, including slow, spacious, ponderous (good word, not used very often) jazz ones.

Yes, I think my unusual choice of instruments is one of the key defining aspects of my music. There's so much uninteresting music out there and I kind of think everything's been done before in terms of notes or chords or sonic extremes. However, the way in which you combine sounds has loads and loads more possibilities.

It's not as though I have a regular band lineup so I just choose instrument combinations that I've not used before for every single track. I try to give them all their own character. I think inventive instrument combinations is the real way to create unique music. I have no idea how I could combine notes in a way that no one has done before. But with sounds there are many more possibilities.

I like to be patient with the development. You may be able to hear that most of the track is based around the main bassline. So, everything that follows is just me developing other parts to accompany that bassline. Different drum grooves and keyboard parts and also complete changes (such as the two rock drums and guitar sections) as a break before returning to that main theme.

"Very musical"
I think when you get jazz right it tends to sound very rich and musical. More so than a lot of electronic music or metal. I don't know why that is or if I'm even explaining myself properly.

Thanks for stopping by.

Many thanks for your comment. I am glad you like it.
In fact the guitars were created with computer.
Thanks again

Thanks man, I appreciate the listen and comment.All my experience comes from learning by ear so all I can truely tell you is that the guitar is in standard tuning. I can play about anything by listening as well as creating on the spot but I cant read music. Thank you again dude!

Thanks for leaving a comment ;) I will see what I can do about the high notes

I'm glad you liked it, Dan. About the voice/music balance you could be right even if I liked it "big". Maybe I'll compress the whole mix just a little bit less to leave Patricia some more db.
