A change of pace relative to my usual style. 2 Strat parts and a bass guitar too. This was about 28 hours' work and is a chilled, downtempo piece featuring some Psychic Modulation instruments.

A very dreamy and relaxing piece.
I like your composition very much and the choir
is a perfect choice to give it even more
feeling.
The drums/percussion just adds to the enjoyment.

Excellent track Tim. Enjoying another listen...
I love the way each sound fits the mood and there is nothing out of place or superfluous. Glorious sounds too!
Well done!

Very nice... a track that softly beckons, then deftly plucks a few heartstrings. Nice work!

A relaxing piece. The guitar and bass are very well integrated with the synths. These instruments give it an organic feel. I am hoping to hear more guitar and bass in future pieces.
The composition is quite mellow. There is a unchanging, underlying part (except when muted at the midpoint) over which additional instruments are added. For me, this combination of mellowness and sameyness makes it work like background, ambient music. Not a bad thing but it tends to fly under my mental radar unless I intentionally focus on it.
The Vangelis-type synth that first appears at 1:39 has some harsh high frequencies at the peak of the filter envelope of every note. Listening at low volume helps minimize this.

This was originally conceived as a techno piece, but I was unhappy with the way it was going, so I started substituting sounds, and the downtempo style seemed to flow from those. The guitar and bass were added towards the end of the recording session. This was quite a fun tune to make.

I enjoyed this. I like the choir. Also when things drop away around 3:50. Good stuff. Thanks, seismic1.

Thanks very much, Matt. Good for the weekend, but I fear that something more energetic is required for weekday morningspolyslax wrote:Lovely piece Tim, a nice gentle introduction to the sunrise this morning. Well done!
