A moody bit of semi-cinematic down tempo centred around piano.

Pale Eyes

5:14 mins

Also available at SoundCloud:

Thanks to all who have a listen. Smile

For such a minimal style, this piece manages to sound remarkably "full". The piano treatments are lovely and the percussion is pretty punchy, but it fits together very well indeed.

I just realised that this is a really hypnotic piece. I think I have played it 3 times now.

When I snap my fingers.....

Cool

Not really minimal, I mean... that's full of melody ! I enjoyed it.
it sets the mood very soon and it works nicely around it.
Thumbs Up!

Cheers

Very nice. Was there some old-fashioned banging on stuff involved in this? Whatever the case, I enjoyed the result. Thanks.

Very soothing, great stuff. Nailed what you were aiming for. Low-end sounds fantastic.

I listened to this last night on your Soundcloud before crashing, and I just now note your description "semi-cinematic". I totally agree, I was going to write it evoked a bit of a film soundtrack feel to me. But of course not for a lame Hollywood blockbuster, but for a more edgy Indie film. Wink

Very nice.
