Hi Brett!  And again I was right to rub my hands, while waiting for the audio to arrive. I like the bass sound. To be m0ore precise, the way it's processed and used. Though the guitar sound this time isn't completely to my liking. Perhaps because it reminds me a little of my friend's early recordngs.  But I'm starting somewhere in the middle. :-) The orchestration and overall recording is very big again and well mixed, to my ears. It reminds me a little of a soundtrack this time. So ambiant gets a tick. :-) Although I would have liked to have mjore percussion in the piece, since I have a feeling, they might be one of your strong points, I'm satisfied with the little I got. :-)  Musically speaking the main theme wasn't as gripping this time as it was with Bron of Fire, but then the intentions are quite different, at least judging by your own descriptions and the context in which you put Born of Fire. Still I find myself strangely attracted to the arabesque streak in music. I like the tension, that your melody lines create. In this piece helped along by the omenous bass line, if you can call it that. The strings add a more cinematesque impressions. They set a nice "frame" for the rest of the music to be surrounded by. Together with the guitars. Yes, I'm not too particular about the sound of the guitars this time, but that does't keep me from liking what they do.  Overall it sounds simple, everything fitting together. I don't know, how much time and effort went into it, but I think it's often good, with this type of music, if I can judge it to be simple. Like Glenn Gould playing Bach and making it sound simple. :-) So continue the work and keep us updated. If I had a wish, although you're not a fairy, I would wish for more driving percussion in the next piece, if at all appropriate. :-)  Thanks for sharing and kind regards            Julien =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Such Is Life: Very Intensely Adorable; Free And Jubilating Amazement Revels, Dancing On - FLOWERS! ======      Find my music at      ====== http://juliencoder.de/nama/music.html .....................................

Hey Brett!  I love fretless bass! Something that goes especially well with rhythm free or thin sections. As to the guitar: you might just try a different chorus or less of it. I still don't know, what exactly disturbs me. Maybe it is the thinness, perhaps it is mostly the obviousness of the chorus. Maybe it could use some subtle delay.  By the way: where did you take the strings from? And are the percussions real or from a sample library? If the latter, then I'd like to know from which.  Listening forwards to your next piece or version 2 of this one. :-)  Warmly yours         Julien =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Such Is Life: Very Intensely Adorable; Free And Jubilating Amazement Revels, Dancing On - FLOWERS! ======      Find my music at      ====== http://juliencoder.de/nama/music.html .....................................
