Thanks. Yeah the drums were back before I had good samples and electronic drums.

Hi. Great to hear you liked the cello. I think it's a pretty cool sound. My cello teacher has a live performing career using just an electric cello and one loopstation and one multi effects pedal. No vocals, no backing tracks. You'd be surprised how versatile the instrument is.

"the more melodic beginning especially around 1:20-1:40"

Yes, that's where a new, jaunty lead cello part arrives. A few layers there as it builds. Same cello chord backing.

"the ending which seems more random to me"

I have no idea what you mean when you say "random". Is that some new, modern usage of the word or are you using it in its usual sense? It's all kind of the same drum groove and similar, minimal instrumentation throughout so the ending is just a new riff/chord progression. Random would be if it morphed into banjo metal or choral country.

"I wonder if it would be good to mix in other strong instruments"

You're not wrong but I decided to keep this track rather minimal, for a change. I have loads of tracks where various instruments are having conversations with each other, so to speak. It's a shame my guitar playing is so average these days as, in the recent past, I would have picked it up and knocked out some good stuff on it.

Thanks for the suggestions and don't forget to let me know about my "random" question.

Yeah, see thats what I was concerned about. I think I have two different songs in here. I'll probably do exactly that and do a version without the classical touches.

Demon Disco baby!

Thanks for the comment, however the lyrics aren't mine. The synth is tho. I've never tried back-up vocals, because I thought it would mess it up, but the other day I heard a track that does it and it actually worked. So I will see how it works out in other tracks. Thanks for the feedback, I will upload the synth as a loop. :D

Hi, neuromancer56! Making sound with only soft synth is sometimes flavorless when it comes to express live performance. So, I made this tune with piano left hand voice comping with swing mood and 1/64 cutting rhythm and so on. But you know, real warmness is coming from actual performance by players. Next time, I should try myself playing real instruments, may be. Thanks for your valuable comment. I appreciate it.

Yes the guitars are cool and really rock on. Burt did a good job and his work fits well with the vst guitars. This track is an old one for me and i done it into so much different versions that i can't count them. And i know really what you mean when you wrote they should be screamed, cause i done that in the past often and it works well.
So thanks for your friendly comment and the time you take yourself to listen to this little track

stay tuned

Thanks, I'm planning on getting vocals for this!

i love you, thank you

lol, yes, there is a lot of shit in there. I wanted it to sound a little chaotic. Thanks man, glad you liked it!

Thank you for the comment! It kind of is a clash of styles especially because the original artist doesn't really perform in this genre. As far as the echoing backup vocalizations, it wasn't my intention at first, but I do like how it came about. Thanks again for listening and commenting, it means a lot!

Hey bro, Thanks for the remix. I left my two cents on it.

Hey Neuromancer, thanks for the checking in. Not sure how well it could be hear, but I did add very light ahh vocals in there. It was a synthesizer so it's not as great as human vocals would be. You can most certainly remix this. I would love to see what you come up with.

Nice of you to stop by,
take care!

Thanks for for your appreciation of this.

Yes, there is a lot happening though that's the case in probably all of my tracks. I like activity and detail and always keeping things interesting.

Good point about the experience being like a good sci-fi novel. I hadn't thought about that until you said it but I think the sci fi vibe probably comes from the far out synths. And the cello adds some real organic flavour.

Thanks again.

sorry for the late reply...never thought to come more reports on this but I failed...:-)

I'm happy that this song caused relaxing to you.

handshake, Danke
