This is an excellent piece of music, as has already been made quite clear by others.

I haven't heard of you before on here so this is a nice surprise.

Bass is extremely cool and busy, with a great tone. Vocals are haunting and return just at the right time.

The subtle guitar might even be the nicest touch in this haunting, sensual, moody piece.

My only complaint is the percussive loop work. It's good and very effective but also feels too loud at times. Just mixing its level it in and out a bit more would help a lot.

Big congrats!

i loooooooove this groove. THIS is the kind of stuff i dream about singing on. your bass is beyond naughty; it takes full command of this song and the listener. mixing is top notch.
instant fav...kudos!

You are def coming into your own realm of musical existence. Your music lately has risen and is reaching new levels, keep it up. Did you go straight in with the bass, did you use any vst amp? I'm always trying to learn how people get their "sound" when it comes to guitars and basses.

Sure, I could hear this in a cinematic setting, to show a passage of time while someone does something like builds or creates something or tries to solve a mystery or crime. Nicely put together, the less is more approach is something I live by and works here.

Keep up the good work, always fun to hear your creations!

i recorded it directly into Live, but used 2 waves plugins: Znoise and MaxxBass on the fx chains as well as a free compressor plug called Thrillseeker which i find excellent...the upper octaves of course have a bunch of reverb and delays added as well, all native Live fx...thanks for the listen wayne and your fine words, much appreciated as always!....

Very compelling. Exotic and deep. I can feel the bass kick in my earphone pads, and the vocal at the end lifted the crown of my head. Astonishing sound.

Very nice,the guitar is so smooth and the notes played are important,I've always said it's not the amount of guitar but the delicate use of fine notes that may only be a few but are the addition that makes all the difference to the song...and me.

Fantastic!
Allen.

Ohh now this is fabulous! Talk about bass! Addictive rhythm!

The touch of vocals is just amazing and the groove inflicted by those drums is emphasized by the bass and the subtle nuances of ethnic spice going on!

This is going in my favs! This should really get some TV/Add plays!

I heard a rumour going round that you'd made a great piece of tunage. It was true!
For some reason this piece has got me thinking vampires in the dessert like in that film "near dark"
Again i'm thinking to myself "spend more time on ableton" i see it's paying off dividends for your music.
Easily the best cinematic piece i've heard for quite some time.
Now you can kick back and reward yourself with a cold one!

A song is only as good as its foundation, and this song has a great foundation!!! Bass line is absolutely stellar. Great vox and instrumentation, subtle and sublime, all following that wonderful bass line.

Well done.

Description : Ok...here it is! Another colab with maestro Tumbleweed! Ed provided the unfinished, basic track...I composed and recorded the long intro using different synths and then added piano (well to the fore) and some brass arrangements along the rest of the track (no violin this time...hehe) and then did the final mixing to wrap it up as it is presented now. I hope you will enjoy it and we both appreciate your listening time and your valuable comments:) Otherwise all thanks to Ed!

Description : Dark, slow, ambient, cinematic jazz with funereal piano turning into something much funkier, psychedelic and beautiful in the second half. Out of the darkness and into the light, you could say. Instruments: electric guitar + bass, lots of synth sounds, including a horn, double bass, another big legato bass, pizzicato strings, two types of piano, a heavily delayed slide guitar instrument, zither, synth arp, one brushy drum loop, kettle drum rolls and 4 programmed acoustic drum kits. This is quite a special track for me and is only the second I've put in the cinematic genre. The more you listen, the more it changes (it even has key changes) and the last three minutes are really quite far out and should probably be longer. Best track I've made for a few months. Interesting thoughts and reflections appreciated. Free sex for the best reviews...

Description : So a new track for everyone. Im pretty impressed by this one, and would even place it higher than one of my best tracks, Angel And A Demon. However, I'm trying to decide whether or not I should put vocals to it. I have some in mjnd, but idk if itd be better to leave as is and keep it instrumental or not. Take a listen and let me know! Also, let me know if anything is too loud, still working on my mastering.
