Description : I had 30 minutes spare between lessons this morning, so rather than twiddle my thumbs I decided to record something. This is what came out of that session. I placed a capo on the 9th fret of my acoustic, found a sequence and recorded it in one take, then picked up the soprano sax, and realizing I was in the key of F#major set about a melody pronto. I started to record after a run through and felt I should keep the first take after listening back. It pretty much captures what was in my head. Recorded using line 6 tone port and Ableton live. I hope you enjoy it's relaxing quality.. Cheers Slap...

Killed your 30mins free time? I couldn't do that even if i killed myself lol. Great skills you have the ability to make some1 become your fan in one go :D
Glad you had a half an hour to kill. I couldnt do this in a year of trying. If you have any flaws in this song, you are probably the only one that can hear them.
Awesome.
you just made a song quicker than i got the pizza i ordered...i don't know whether to pack it up now or...lol. you do it all, I have downloaded lot's of your sax loops and have been eagerly trying to find a way to use them. top notch and the highest respect to this song and your musical talent! Have a good one slap!
Hi Jezza, I will be doing your track tomorrow.. Thanks for the review! I don't watch much t.v, so I don't have a clue about this guy/lady lol.. Cheers Slap...
You know, the uncluttered feeling of this song is what makes it beautiful... in a world full of music that's always finding new and interesting ways to make beautiful noise, it's nice to take a breath and listen to something so sublimely simple. Gorgeous - nice to hear you again (and nice to be back :)) x
naw slap its just hooka! hahaha i have a couple of those pics tho! lol. man! i listened to this and went to bed , had great dreams and fell fast! no worries type of sleep!
Haha..what i wrote came out bad!..i'm not getting married quite yet!haha..i'm only 18!..but one day (mark my words!lol)..when i do wanna settle down..i'll contact u..keep up the good work..aall the best..peace
Now then Geordie! How it going at your end up in the toon? Thanks for listening and taking the time to review this track.. Soprano sax just gets right in your soul! It's a great instrument, but a complete bastard to keep in tune. I hope things are good with you buddy.. Cheers Slap...
Excuse my french..but that was fu*k*ing amazing!!!!!!!!!...totally blew me away..i want you at my wedding!haha..god's musical gift to earth=slap..peace
I guess when it comes down to it,the fundamentals apply in the creative process...Conceptualise-Act upon it.Is it the clear first thought that crystallizes or the unembellished execution of that thought?...whatever the case may be the result is the same....an amount of soul has been transferred from the artist to his work....not an easy task that can be duplicated every time....these are the special moments.......you have quite a few in your tracks....but ones like this stand out for me.....sparse,distant yet intimate,no hangups or issues just plain simple music from the soul.
Hi Dave,wow what a review and analysis of a track, I know what you mean though. Sometimes the best songs
are the ones that have no boundaries, there free and expressive and allowed to breath and develop naturally, "keep it simple stupid" seems to spring to mind, or am I barking up the wrong tree! I'm confused now, Crap!!! Maybe I should go and write another song, my head hurts.. Cheers Slap...
That's 30 minutes well spent Mr Slap!
Very chill track, the instruments complete each other. I really like it when you hold that note around 2.05. Soothing...
Well done mate.
Cheers S.
Hi Soulful, I hear you've been helping one of my sax pupils Henster out with some ableton issues, thanks for that buddy, Hensters a cool guy. Thanks for the kind words about the track, cheers Slap...
wow what a perfect way to start my morning! i love this one! everything is great! almost like waking up from a good dream and thinking about it and being happy the rest of the day...=^)
Description : NOTICE: this song is made ONLY FOR NON-COMMERCIAL PURPOSES. Contains an emulation of a TM legendary song (send to the original authors, i add them on Fb time ago).
This is a surprise, for those was young in 1999, for the beloved Patricia (and the gift of her voice) and my brothers Nous2 and Jamid, kind people i met here. Let's go crying guys, hope you enjoy.
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!
