Hi Bear, Thanks for all the good vibes and nice comments. If you read the reply I gave to AnalogDisc above, you will see why I have taken so long to respond here- unforseen circumstances. Anyway I really appreciate it and I will be adding more stuff soon and look forward to hearing your music.

Thank you Bear.

This track is based on the idea that was sent to me by ferryterry earlier, it is actually my 2nd take on this material. I reharmonized it and found vocals that fit as well as other sounds. I had to cut vocal to make it fit in here - the title is from original lyrics (I removed that verse). Yes indeed, I played all keys in here (and violins) - as always.

Thank you for listening to this song and your words, really glad I could provide you some enjoyable moments.

All the best to you, Alex

hey Bear
i hope all is well my friend. it was really my pleasure and certainly will love to do that again anytime. it has been a smooth experience to work with your stems at all times and time flew by sooo quickly....
that's always the good stuff when that happens. i mean when nights seem to only last a few minutes, that kind of time dilation.
sorry to you too about the ultra slow response.
first i had to go help serve in the civil protection (instead of military) for a while and then i caught a bone inflammation in my elbow from over-straining it by my own weight as i was sitting at the table. what.. weird stuff, i must have been quite distracted that i didn't realise it sooner. oh well, it's all back to normal one of these days and finally i may also use the computers and keyboards again, so i am excited!
already did a small number this weekend and will upload that in the next few minutes if all goes as planned.
so long man, have a great time and thanks again!

Thanks for the comment Bear :)

hey Bear
thanks for explaining the "hearing is shot" phrase, at first i expected the worst and thought you had an accident or something that damaged your ears.
although i guess technically it's an accident, just one that creeps up on you over the years.
i noticed about two years ago that i hear slightly less on my right side, but it's very minimal still.
a reminder to watch out for prolonged exposure to excessive levels. i always work with headphones and i am especially prone to go overboard with the volume there. it's easy to forget as long as the hearing seems ok. and very comfortable cans don't help either hehe.
also thanks for your lovely comment. glad you like the piano. i have also prepared something this evening for you which i will upload shortly.
cheers my friend

Thanks for your nice compliments. I really was digging this tune also. Really has a good beat to it. I had the basic Idea I owe My03 a lot he totally made it happen.

I hope all is well with you also.

Thanks for the kind words. I suppose it does have cinematic undertones since the track paints a story, albeit a short one. Thanks again,

Steve

Thanks Bear,
I have actually not spent so much time here: I think I had most thinks "in mind" before starting recording.
Of course there are several layers of sound, but they are quite "simple" so I didn't have to adjust to much to have them sounding "OK".
Ciao, Domenico

Ahh you are too kind Bear.
Believe it or not the Keyboard I used
for this was a $199 Yamaha. Even the drums, but I used a most expensive Roland Guitar processor to make some of these sounds magical. Mixed on the fly on a 4 track Sony It was fun to revive this one with modern mastering.
"Another outstanding effort from one of the best musicians on Looperman."
is a very high compliment from a great musican yourself and I am humbly grateful for that.
All the Best
Steve

Thanks for the feedback. Just like you said it's really tough to mix on a pre-mixed instrumental. I think the engineer did a pretty nice job to work on this. I really like the outcome but you know, it is always good to have a different feedback from different people. I am glad you like it thank you for your review :) And of course, let's keep the dream alive.

hey Bear. just discovered this comment. glad you enjoyed this and thought it worked with the art. it's my muse and I guess I will keep going with it. all the best. Dan

i'm happy you had a chance to check it bear. the glass bow was a little tricky - you have that right. glad if it was working for you. we need to give ourselves at least a moment of satisfaction for what has been achieved, because we are always pushing ahead, trying to get to the next level. glad you were digging it! Dan

Thanks for the kind words. I think we may share the same decades. As far as being able to play multiple instruments. I would like to claim I do. But the keyboard is the only instrument I play. Thank goodness for VSTs to provide the sounds I need.-Thank you PDMuzak

And you are right!

Actually it took more time than talent.

Thanks my friend! I'm happy you liked it. Hopefully someone can help with the commercial bit. Making commercial tracks seems to be so easy yet so hard. Perhaps commercial sounds are not as easy as I once thought it was. Thanks for your two cents and have wonderful day!

Hi Bear,

Great to hear from you again, a big thank you and really pleased you enjoyed it. Even better that it went down well with your coffee!!
thanks again Bear,
Take care and my best wishes,
Mark

Hey ShortBusMusic,

Thanks a lot for checking the track out, it's a pleasure to read your comments.

I'm so used to not having the volume too high as those who use my tracks usually put the volume up for me. I'll see what I can do in future works!

All the best,
JAweGuy

Haha, that bus reference made me lol :P And thanks man, you are very kind!

Haha, thanks SBM :) I do play live on occasion, but it's mainly just been a hobby for me at this point as I am pursuing my degree in Environmental Science at this point and have been kept pretty busy these past few years :P But music is still one of my first loves haha. Who knows what will happen? Maybe someday I'll make it big, get to share my message to the world. Until then, I am just another college student making music in his spare time :P Thanks SBM, if you wanna download it or any of my music, just message me and I'll get you a link to it!

Bear...Hi
And thanks for stopping in....

Yes...It's so much easier using a pedal more so then the Knobs
on the Axe...
I don't find that the transitions are as smooth, I've got lots of toys
that I've picked up along the way, 4 different crybaby's all kinds
of distortion pedals, Phasers and Chorus's...
All of those sounds and about 700 more are in the Digitech RP355
Guitar Processor... And all can be Modified another 40 ways, so all
that other stuff will end up in the pawn shop, trade them for some-
thing I can use today the easy way...
Glad you enjoyed it...

Peace..TG.

Make that 40 plays and two reviews. I wasn't expecting much of a response on this really as it's just a bunch of loops really. My new years resolution is to get some better VST's and start making my own stuff again. Glad you could stop by and i hope all is cool with you as well.
