Another excellent piece. Is there a short outline of this opera you could post on your page so I can get a feel for how the sequence of events and songs go? This is starting to look like a very interesting project you have going here.

I've just added some more details of "opera" on my profile. I'm not sure it gives you much more but .....

Starts as a Suicide song (rock minimalist) and drifts from NY towards oriental shores. I like a lot the way you sing this. But it ends too soon ! I would like you to carry on... you're embarking me for a trip I expected lasting longer. Also, just my opinion, take care of the synth you're bringing in. Softens the song too much, and a bit "orientalish" and corny to my ears. Enthralling peace, anyway. Once again, well done, mate !

Thanks for your comments. It's really only a linking piece and wasn't meant as a full blown song so that's why it's quite short. Although I can see what you mean about the synth I wanted it to be soft to match the very mellow groove he's in (that's why I kept my voice very even.). I tried a number of sounds but couldn't find one that suited better than the one I used.

Cheers

I really like your singing and composing... And its glad to hear that u mention Turkey, because %u0130 am from turkey! But i had to say that i could not hear the saz or oud voice in the song as in your key words for the song. The eastern melody sounds like played from Kanun or a more Eastern instrument Santur, which can be tought as the simple version of Kanun... Anyway thanks for sharing this nice song :)

Thanks for your comments Emre. The Turkish link was initially due to the story so I needed a song that had some "Eastern" type sounds. You take the prize for noticing that it is not in fact a saz. It started out as a real one that I was given a few years ago but perhaps because I can't really play it convincely and/or it's a cheap tourist model it didn't sound right. I transferred what I was playing on the saz to the keyboard and played around with the saz sounds in GB and ended up using ----------- a dulcimer ! Go figure !!!!

Thanks again.

Cheers

Dick
