Hi Cru,

Thanks for listening and leaving a comment. Nothing has come to me yet regarding the end (except background vocals) so I might just have it go into another song on the EP I'm working on.

You have a way with words. Thank you.

Seven hundred salutations, Cruciferous Crustacean.

Or are you actually Madonna now? If so, you should get into the groove, prove your love to me.

Nice to hear from you and good that you enjoyed the drumless intro, which doesn't surprise me.

"Perfect frequencies and minimal"

I like the sine wave stuff but wanted to do much more with that arp part but it didn't happen. But what is there does sit rather nicely behind the other layers which come in, such as the strings and even lower cello layers and a choir pad (to make things a bit more heavenly and lush).

"It's like you wrapped melancholy and remembrance in a blanket"

That's a nice, poetic turn of phrase. Congratulations. You can use a blanket to put out a fire or you can wrap melancholy and remembrance in it. All hail the blanket!

" Interesting percussion at 3.10"

Yes, some drum loops I've never used before and I like the snare used in the main programmed acoustic kit later on, giving the track a more tribal feel.

"You come loaded with some new tricks"

I do. They were a downloaded patch though you can return me to factory settings by pressing the reset button on the back of my neck for 10 seconds.

"I like the side-chained synth."

That's a banjo stuck through a stutter effect. Not sure if that is technically side chained but it's effective anyway.

"then comes the Phrygian Cello."

Aha, I wondered what that mode was. I don't know any by name as I'm playing them so always interesting to find out. And I only know two scales (major and minor).

"Syths are so tastefully mixed in the back of the mix"

Yes, there are a few going on. Quite a dense mix and the phrygian cello is at least three layered parts.

"if you are a cannibal, Baby baby back ribs."

Ha, nice joke.

I'm not really back as my music making abilities are still much diminished and I don't know where the next decent track is coming from though I am currently working on a few not very promising ones.

"around 7:37 I am longing for one of your guitar solos."

Me too! Shame I can't do them anymore, eh?

"I understand the coda of using the intro as an outro"

Good as I had to end it somehow. The sine wave arps sit nicely on a hypnotic loop.

"10 minutes just flew by"

Excellent. I find it quite an addictive track and the sections mostly seem to transition well.

"Always your friend and colleague musically."

Thanks very much. I really appreciate that. Likewise.

Monsieur l'homme du nouilles spastique.

Thanks so much for your time and review. Appreciate all input especially since I'm just getting back into it with a whole new rig. Thanks man.

Hey appreciate the feedback, I do not own any mastering software, I only have freebie plug ins and the included ones, should i just eq or filter on the master for the lowend? I did eq the tracks mixing, And for the stereo widening would it be better on the master or just redo the individual ones in the mix? I will def try out your mono trick and see if it helps my mixes thanks for the hot tip. I am fairly new to this and have not really got the whole mixing and mastering process down yet so i really appreciate these suggestions, thanks again.

Yes so am I, I was wracking my brain trying to remember if you know what I mean.

Thank you. Always a pleasure to read nice comments. :-)

Grazie amico!
