Hey hey Robert,
nice to see you back on the music circuit.
Thanks, I've always been here but keeping a pretty low profile :)

This is my favourite, of the three pieces. They are all just likable and
immediately into the brain. But I do love your vocals on that, especially
the almost broken sound in the first verse. The bass sounds so very
vintage.

Again,
the bass is the instrument that sticks with me. You really have a
feeling on how to play, process and mix it. It's amazing to me, the way
that you change the sounds and esthetics from one song to another, while
still retaining something that links all three pieces. Is that a sort of
vocoder in the preverse part? If not then it is terribly well timed with
your voice.
Thanks, yeah it's a vocoder, maybe it's been a bit overused lately but I
love the sound.

BEsides mixing your bass well, you
haven't lost your hand for accents
and keeping the listener on edge. :) Helena has a lovely voice to.
All pieces sound transparent and well made. The overall mix reminds me a
bit of production sounds from a couple of years ago. I have listened to
them on my big speakers. They sound good there, though I have the
impression that they might even sound better - in comparison to other
material - on small headphones or earbuds. They all exude energy and
freshness to me, which is exactly what I need these days. :) And having
gone back to listen to a couple of your earlier material, I can hear a
consistent route from them to this. This shines particularly through
when listening to "The Wunderbaum". So, in addition to giving me three
fresh faced friends for a dark and cold day, you introduced me anew to
some old acquaintances, for which I should thank you again. :)
And thanks again. I'm not sure where you see this route between the songs
as it seems to me I never really find my direction, hehe.
Regarding bass I'm happy you commented on this as I've been playing a lot
of bass lately and hoping it has paid off! And it is fun making bass lines
:)
Regards,
Robert
