Hello, it's been a while since I posted something.
Here is the latest one, all done in REAPER, and first song completed on Linux (yes, it can be done even with lots of virtual instruments, Wine and native, not only audio tracks).
Hope you like it:

I see you're an old time member. 20 plus years. Congrats. Anyway, gave this a listen. Really, really nice. Is that you singing? You have a very distinct voice. The whole production is just amazing. I wasn't expecting anything this good. I'm not sure what else there is to say. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this.
And on Linux to boot. LOL

Hey wagtunes, thank you for listening, and for the sweet comments 
The singer is the other half of the Errepici duo, Christian produces and also sings.
This song was entirely written and produced by me, but he recorded a lot of takes that allowed to use a quite a variety of ad-libs and harmonies.
Happy you liked the track, we have other stuff going out soon, even though for sure this is just a hobby for us.
We will post here when the next release are out, thank you again.

Smooth! A pleasant little song. Vocals are naturally delivered with a sweet honest tone.

Oh. The vocals are quality. Nicely sung, beautiful sustained notes. Great melodies. A really solid, enjoyable tune.

It's been a while since I last tried using Reaper on Linux but it's great to see how far things have come 
A really lovely ballad with a great atmosphere and beautiful harmonies. Honestly, I didn't expect it to be such a nice track... but you've been at KvR for a while and your experience definitely shows.
