Description : I wanted to step away from electronic music and just make something simple and heartfelt. SO I gave myself an hour to write and record a track. This is what I made.

Ha - if you gave me an hour to write and record a track, it would be shit. But I don't songs so let's not worry about that.

Anyway, this is quite warm and comforting. Very much "log fire" music ie good to play when you're at home with a nice fire burning. The additional sound effects help add that crinkling, crackly vibe.

Heartfelt, simple stuff. Not the greatest song but warm, sensual and effective. Nice reverse at the end!

hello TA,

this ballad is full of melancholy, a real pleasure to discover it, sometimes simple things are more efficient than big production!

congrats for this performance

Hey BLEEP. I totally agree. The song is simple, so it's production should be the same. I'm glad that the song connected with you. And thank you for feedback my friend.

Hi man. Glad you like it. And the challenge was actually really fun. I strangely felt a lot less pressure because I didn't have time to over-think anything.

Thanks man. I was going for 'haunting' more than scary, but I'll take it. Glad you like the vox and the melodies, means a lot coming from you. Thanks again.

A nice simple tune that sounds great. Seems like it pushes your lower register a little bit on the singing side. No percussion is needed for this one. I like it alot

Hi man. The vocals were all done in one take, I wanted a warts and all performance. I also didn't EQ out the lower register as heavily as I usually do. I agree about the percussion. This is all about simplicity. Thanks for listening.

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!
