Description : I wrote this as my first piece thinking of different emotions and how they can all affect one person in a moment or in a larger space of time. The title and feel was not planned, but it is called Promenade because it makes me think of the boardwalks that walk over the breaking sea's water. The noise around, the views of the sea and of the bustling people - and then being able to focus it all out and just breathe in the air of the sea and it's awesome tranquility and view!

I was given Sony Acid Pro as a gift and I was hooked due to my passion for music and artistic passions. I used mostly links and loops from the programme but I also used one or two tracks from this forum, The main one was the first piano piece and although I have forgotten the name of the person - thank you so much and if you hear this, please let me know it was you!

Anyhooo - enjoy it! The Promenade awaits

Nice production, I agree with 'siensystem' the track's got good volumes throughout. Very peaceful and serene, yet got that street vibe with passive aggressive beats. I like the soft scratching towards the end. The break at 1:37 caught me off guard and I wasn't sure if it worked at first but I soon back into my groove and found it made sense. - DF

hi there africabean and thx for your e-mail. that piano part is really luvly also I like that track description and I think that this result kinda matches it real good. I can imagine someone walkin slowly on some promenade in front of the beach hearin the waves of the water and havin alot goin trough his head.. then comez the changes which seem very fluid (great scratches too btw they not easy to implement without gettin annoyin) and the mastering is real good keeepup man u def got a talent cheeerz from dusthill

Very nice, soothing, mellow and put together and blended so very well.
Sony Acid Pro is great, been using six, until my last song I uploaded today.....I find it more user friendly than FL7 or Sonic....And I have them both........

A very nice collage of colorful sounds. The drums are nice and take the track along. Very nice balance as well, nothing too prominent or too low. Nice work.

Description : the other end of the scale from me, yep people, this is a ballad. its for all the people who have lost somebody long before their time was due,
i used my experience of tragic loss and how i hid my mental health issues that stemmed from it while writing it, its repetitive but has fresh verses
its to Matthias music Du Bist Nicht Mehr Hier almost the same title, He has suffered too that's why he wrote the music and dedicated it to his brother. i hope i have done it justice

Post script: The word "Ambient" has come up several times in the comment section for this, so I switched the genre to that. Thanks for the input. I really appreciate it.

Description : I made this with Garageband and was inspired by Anime music, such as Naruto. And if you noticed one little part is very similar to one of the melodies.

Description : Depression and sadness can sometimes serve as motivation for creativity as in the case of this track. A few months back I went through a period of loosing a few friends and co-workers. Attended a few funerals and as a result found myself reflecting on life. One night I had the urge to try to transfer my feelings into music and this is what came out. Some baratone guitar accompanied by synth and accapella.
Final EDIT: Further tweaking on levels and a slight change up in the timimg of the choir section.

Description : Hello,
this is a track between composition and cover.
Amandine (Sova Berry or Dine on soundcloud) made a cover of the a cappella "Song of Sophia" by Dead Can Dance.
I liked it very much, so i decided to make an instrumental with her vocals.
Hope you'll like it and if you want to comment, you are welcome, whatever you think.
Bye
