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...

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 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

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...

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!
