Description : This is my entry into the Barry Morgan Competition Challenge. I used Woodwind loops to keep it light with 1 brass loop for a little punch with some special effects at the end. This definitely was a challenge. I put this in its orginal blues genre but could fall into the Smooth Jazz Genre. Hope all enjoy and thanks for the challenge - Bear!!

If you have time take a listen and give Filaofsoul some feedback.
Nice flute work there Fila. The ambient chords flowing in the background gives a airy vibe that pairs perfectly with that 4 on the floor kick. A Great listen.
Hey Fila...yeah man cool moves,I get the smooth layed back ambience with that progressive Jazz feel,it's almost Cinematic with those samples introduced at the end...Barry knows how to get that epic feel in his keys and they always sound great!...cool!
Dave :)

Ah, Barry's competiton song. I am supposed to do something with this too as I downloaded all the tracks awhile back.
I'll take a different direction, just not sure...maybe more a Blues theme.
I like what you did with it. The intro was very nice. I've never done any tune 5 minutes long, so it will be a challenge to come up with some cool stuff.
I like all the different instruments, flute, trombone, etc.

Hey Bro thanks for the review and comments glad you enjoyed this. The backgroud was produced by Barry Morgan for the competition. go to competition in the forums and the link "new contest there you can find the links to the other entries. Again thanks for the positive coments! Fila
Awe Man, you went somewhere great with this track Fila. In a word? Excellent! Love that opening, love the flute & trombone, just a great adaptation all together. Oh boy, I'm really gonna have to work harder now lol. D
Hey Bro thanks for taking the time to review and listen! Was trying to put this together with instruments that you don't hear as much. The ending was the day in full swing with few every day sounds you you might hear with the day in full swing. Thnaks for the listen and comments Fila
The ocean sounds at the beginning are a great touch, and that flute is gorgeous. I liked it more and more with every time you brought it in. I loved the runs you were doing with it by the end; they fit very well.
I'm not huge on the horn you used, particularly the first time you brought it in. It might work better if you record it playing a bit louder and mix it down instead of trying to play it quietly? It came off a bit separated and a bit too... I don't know, staccato? It doesn't quite have as much expression as the flute, and I feel like it might just a really simple fix to bring it out more.
The end effects caught me off guard, but I liked them. Great track.

Description : Of all the classic Monster tales the Wolfman is definitely one of the saddest. Cursed, and destined to live as both man and monster. During the day he sits alone with his guitar, a prisoner of lonely existence, crying his heart out through his music. Then at night, the beast emerges, and in the dark under a full moon, he cry's as he rips the hearts out of his victims! Such is the life of a cursed bluesman!
Description : This is a tune dedicated to my friend, Nancy, who followed me to the clubs I played at for years, and is still following me with my studio work. Why do I dedicate this to her? Onnacounta cause she's soooooo naughty! She never liked violins, but loved her sax! Here's to you, Nancy. Anyway, this is a little blues track with some nice guitar and sex...oh, sorry, I mean sax.
Description : A sultry, seductive, and fairly short acoustic blues number. It is an instrumental and only took about 2 hours to write, record, and get a decent mix. Enjoy! Updated: I added some slight echo to the electric guitar and widened the stereo fields of the acoustic rhythm and leads.
Description : Miguel Flores, vocals. Jean-Maurice Humbert-Droz, lead guitars. Laurent Schwaar, guitars. Roland Sumi, bass. Richard Pizzorno, Hammond. Laurent Wirz Drums. Loop from josephfunk (rhodes). Composed by Miguel Flores.
Description : guitar on right run thru my friends mesa rec 25. It has an absolutely gorgeous tone. The guitar playing D, C #, B is run thru guitar rig 6. The the pushed back guitar on the left is also run thru the mesa. My UNC chapel-hill decision letter is coming out tomorrow and I'm super stressed. Whipped out my guitar and recorded some stuff. Hope you like it.
Description : Fresh out of the studio after 10 weeks of deliberating, planning, writing and performing.
This could be classed as Country Blues or Southern Rock...either way I think it may get your toes tapping. So grab your partner and jump on the dance floor with this one.
I am performing the following instruments...vocals, electric guitars, slide acoustic, bass, harmonica, organ. I wrote the following instrument parts in MIDI....drums, percussion, piano, horns. This was a beast to master but I think it turned out okay.
No loops used.
Description : UPDATE 26/01/2014: Improved loads of things in what is probably my greatest chillout alternative blues piece. Ambient, ethereal, groove-based delta slide blues. Contemplative and melodic. Multiple, layered , sometimes shimmering resonator guitar parts with solid, warm synth bass, an ethereal bed of pads (which are actually guitars) and second electronic drumkit to contrast the acoustic kits. I thought this was perfect a few years ago but it wasn't (and still isn't). Now has clearer drums and lots of small awkward bits of guitar have been trimmed. Quite a minimalistic and short piece for me - I don't just keep bringing in new instruments, as I usually do. This should really chill you out...
Dave :)
