Description : After receiving some advice (you guys are awesome. Thanks for all the feedback!) I edited the song and have reposted the MP3. PREVIOUS DESCRIPTION: Title is French for 'Coffee with milk', aka latte. The song, like the album it's from was made with a cafe or restaurant in mind. As such, the name seemed all too fitting. Had alot of fun with the muffled saxophone here (to be honest it muffled itself on accident). The piano is hard to hear at times so headphones are recommended.. or a good pair of speakers. I spent alot of timt trying to decide if the bass was too much. I would love to hear your opinions :D
I plan to come back to this track to polish it, but I need help choosing what needs to be edited.
Thanks for listening! Hope the song creates the chill atmosphere I was aiming for.

I love all your chill out and ambient tracks. I improvise acoustic guitar over the top once I've worked out what key and what scales work best. I'm not good enough to share yet though. Your stuff has a really nice gentle vibe man...keep up the good work.

Thanks mate. I recently re-did this song not with a heavier snare per-se, but with reverb on the snare for my album (get it here: http://www.mediafire.com/?1o6b84cn689i5t8)

Or you can just hear the revised song here: http://www.reverbnation.com/dazbeats/songs

Might be an improvement for you. Thanks alot for listening!

Interesting track with a good ambient quiet restaurant feel to it or a drive in the countryside; I found there's even sounds in the beat itself which could be part of the restaurant noise, like the quietish symbal at the end could have been a teaspoon in a mug... I agree though that the snare's a bit too loud ( probably it's the chef dancing )

Hahahahaha I must tell that chef to quiet down :p This was a very interesting comment to read. Drives you say? I've always wanted to put together a good driving track (perhaps a theme for my next album). To be honest I didn't intend on the percussion to represent the goings on in a cafe, but the melody was certainly aiming to accomplish that background restaurant music feel. I'll get around to the snare soon haha. The more I hear it now, the more I keep seeing the things you mentioned; The spoon, the shakers as a whisker, and even the chef :p Thanks for taking a listen. Peace.

Nice....I'd pull the drums back a little in the mix and add just a touch of reverb to them.

DjDaz replied 4th Mar 2012 - 12 years ago
Again, I think this idea is fitting. As you say, I should add a 'touch' of reverb. On my headphones the drums sounded fine, but listening to it on my speakers, I agree the snare overshadows the other instruments a tad. Again, thanks for your ideas. I don't know why I didnt think of reverb before :p

Awesome! I was hoping this track would come across as warm and chill (ignoring the oxymoron in that statement). Glad you like it! Thanks for the feedback!

Haunting? Wasn't expecting that reaction. Interesting to hear. It's good to hear that others can hear what I was hoping to accomplish; happy and relaxing. It's not easy making a song sound happy in a minor key :p Thanks alot for your input man. Glad you enjoyed my tune.

Description : Sounds of the sea and trippy acidy washes with a cool beat and some live acoustic guitar. Written in Cubase with live guitar and keys etc. The sound of the sea and birds was recorded on the beach where I used to live. After moving to the city one sunny day I was telling stories to a friend about living by the sea and started making this track.

Description : I used some new "Anthem" pickups from L.R. Baggs on my Martin acoustic to see how it performed, and it definitely beat my expectations. Captured the sound perfectly as I needed.

Anyhoo, this song is almost a prayer, hence the repetitiveness of the verses. As Christians, we believe that God will one day return and take away every suffering and all evil for good; in that regard, this song is almost one of waiting too. Very simple, with vocal harmonies and whatnot. Hope you enjoy this as much as I did making it. Made in 13 hours.

Someone else wrote the words, I was just inspired to use them. I only added the "Yeah" and "Amen."

Description : This is a track off of one of my EP's I dropped last year. It is based on True events. Sometimes when people finally take a second in life to slow down and breathe in..... The oxygen is deflated and it's too late. Take your time people, because time is what differs a good decision over a bad one. Life is precious!

Description : So a guy buys a nice guitar at a pawn shop but returns it a few days later after waking from a sound sleep to hear it playing by itself. When he tells of his experience he is shocked to learn the owner had actually died while playing it. Is it fantasy or truth? Is the guitar in this track that very same guitar? Its all part of the mystery and fun of Halloween !
EDIT: modified ending to a deeper voice

Description : A progressive journey incorporating deep ambient chillout, swing jazz, hip hop, d'n'b, trance and a slight touch of acid with a thousand ninjas battling in space. Features a great deal of my lead slide resonator guitar playing. Also a whole load of synths, programmed acoustic drum kits and manipulated drum loops, big basslines, regular electric guitar, vocoded guitar parts and bass guitar (distorted right at the end). If you like deep chill, far out soaring beauty, fat beats and 170 BPM uplifting slide trance controlled mayhem, you might just get into this. In my heaven there is an endless supply of honey mangoes (an exquisite beauty of the fruit world) and even more slide guitar. A 1,000-year-long version of this track plays there on a loop (long enough not to get bored of it) but here I offer you the Earthly 11 min version. You must be very good to be accepted into my heaven to hear the full thousand year version so best start now. It may be heaven's main theme tune but it's not above criticism so feel free to let me know what you think of it. Maybe you prefer the soundtrack in hell. I hear it's pretty badass...
