I was seriously considering selling up my studio equipment to just concentrate on photography. Remixing this track which I first recorded in February 2017 made me realize that there is nothing that can replace the buzz of creating music.

Best,

Hi Gerry...that sounds like it would make a great cue for a movie/tv show. You might be able to submit it to Crucial, Pump or Taxi. Good luck with it. smile

Quality sound, and a relaxed, contemplative mood. I'm glad it had a deliberate ending rather than just fading away. You have skills!

My favourite "rana"! I listened to both versions and liked both, although I think the newer one "sounds" better. Your mix is so clear. Nice piece of work Gerry!

P.S. Please don't ever give up music, you're much too talented to even give that consideration!

Hi Gerry:

I'm doing a bit of "catching up" before leaving again. You don't post often or "play the praise-game" most of us have fallen in to... LOL! but the quality of your work is always there. I enjoyed your introductory statement and can certainly appreciate the "buzz factor" found in making music.

This one is delicious. Subdued orchestral intro leading to that wonderful guitar. Truly, a work of art done on a canvas that disappears instantly when the last note sounds. This one did not go away, like most. It leaves the listener wanting to hear "the rest of the story"... and that is a good thing. Enjoyed.

It's never too late? Yes it is, so do it now.

If, given time, a monkey can write the complete works of Shakespeare maybe there's hope for me.

Many thanks Dave for your kind comments. You mention a canvas and I always think music is painting pictures using notes rather than colors. A very dear friend of mine gave me the best advice ever by saying that an instrumental has to take you there. There being somewhere and if it doesn't then forget it. LOL

Gerry,

This is very nicely done and can’t add much to the accolades above, other than to say this was a relaxed Sunday afternoon listen. Very chill!

All the best,

Very soothing and relaxing piece of music. Very dreamy. Loved the acoustic guitar, also really liked the percussion and ambient sounds. It definitely took me to another place.

My apologies for not replying earlier as I had assumed it had slipped down without any further comments, so please forgive me if anyone thought I was ignoring them.

J&B so glad you enjoyed it, many thanks.

GocartMoz thanks for your kind comments.

Calvin, my thanks also to you for the listen and kind comment.

Onwards and upwards, best regards,

Gerry
