Description : This is the first song I have finished of the 30 new tracks I'm currently working on. The song was written and recorded in one hour. I was basically playing the acoustic and this idea came out, so I recorded the guitar down first take, then improvised around to find some ideas for the sax. I've called it Fragile wings because of it's delicate beauty, like a butterfly on a summers breeze. I hope the song gives you a peaceful time while you listen. Cheers Slap...

I listened just because of the title. I have a song "On Broken Wings" I wrote the Lyrics over a year ago and could never get right music for it. I think I finally have. Hope to post it soon. Sorry, back to your song. Real nice I like it. I'm a big fan of the Sax. And as usual another top noth piece by Slap.

Hi Dave, I think you've just given me the highest praise a musician can receive, a player's player, thank you! But in this game, your only as good as your last note, so it's back to the woodshed. Cheers Slap...

a beat or project tempo....wonderful atmosphere
chapeau,Rob

Hi Rob, thanks for the kind words. I just love the rubato feel, playing free! The only problem was I had to judge the gaps i'd left when I recorded the guitar first when it came to the sax track, but I think I managed. Cheers Slap...

This track is real smooth, I honestly reckon the sax is the sexiest instrument ever to make a sound...keep on doing what you do, you do it well.

Thanks splish, I'm glad you like the song, it might have taken an hour to make and record, but it's taken me years to get to this standard and will take more to get to where i'd like to be. Cheers Slap...

I just retyped variations of sentences several times over while listening to this track so that my review wouldn't sound like blubbering rubbish but hot diggedy mother licker, that was a magical display of saxophone virtuosity on your part, Slap. This is the best thing I've heard since "you're never gonna see me again, do anything you want to me".

Effing boss, champ. BOSS!

Description : There were two separate tracks in work, but who knows why I got tired with them and then decided to merge them (or at least what left from them) into one piece hence they originate out of same musical purpose. No worries...no world war was ment here, except my recent personal one...haha...and you don't want to know about it.:) It's not real etude by any means, yet it's quite alot about practicing...practicing...

Description : Again, another early production from like two years ago. I had a cheap little Yamaha acoustic guitar that I borrowed and mic'd and some congas that were given to me as a birthday present. I used my iPad GarageBand app to record the strings and the big bass drum thingy at the interlude and little electric guitar parts in there too haha. All the vocals were done by myself and my brother throws in some little things here and there with his voice :P Enjoy!
