Morning Light- Thanks, I guess its a little change of pace to actually hear the echo and reverb instead of layering them away with other instruments. Check out my latest song called I Should Have Known

wow Realy grabbed me and held me here had to hear every note cool music. Do you plan on expanding on it, it would go along way!!! Thanks for sharing |

egobandit- Expand...I still am improvising with it and might try for some well placed drum beats instead of a layer of loops. Thanks a lot for listening! Check out my latest song called I Should Have Known

Bright! Right from the start it is very fresh. It builds well. Works without drums. You might play with some low end notes. Nice! Check out my latest song called Capitalist's Drag

Doaders Uncle- Glad you like the bright sound. I don't often play in Major Keys. I had trouble with the basses I tried, but maybe some lower notes using the existing guitar and piano voices will blend in better. Thanks for your comments. Check out my latest song called I Should Have Known

A nice feel about this Spacious and clean. A touch long perhaps without some further development but it works well as it is. Cheers Dick Check out my latest song called A Good Night's Sleep with Macferret, Sir Dennis Crowther and Pete Young

Fusion is the business!!! I think that this piece is great!! I didn't miss percussion at all. There was enough going on. Excellent all around. Paul. Check out my latest song called Ambient Soundscape #1

Easy listening... Nice, I'd agree with the others and say no percussion is really needed here. Sounds great, I liked the way it faded out at the end. Nice work. |

Alex Thanks for stopping by. Parring back on the parts seems to work here and is probably a good step to take when I try to polish future pieces. I will still work on my application of percussion :) Check out my latest song called I Should Have Known

Chris I will give your suggestions some serious thought. The piano part is easy to improvise with, so a variation based on the same central idea might be cool. Thanks for listening and I am glad you like the tune! Check out my latest song called I Should Have Known

Nice wide open sound... ...I really like it. Maybe you could experiment with some percussion instrument(s) other than the standard drum set as a complement to the piece. Wish I could remember the name of the instrument. It's great as is...but I find myself wondering how it would sound with a bit more to make it drive. Just my humble opinion. Great respect for your work. Check out my latest song called Outside the Corral

Im trying I cant really picture a drum here, but I think one would definately bring out a little more of the music. I think the melody is good enough to keep me listening and the guitar sounds very nice. Maybe a little bass is what you need. Check out my latest song called Guillotine

| peacepiano said 936 days ago (May 4th, 2007) | |

Spitlogic- Your in good company in the bass department, the bass drum of the drum loop used to provide some low end... Thanks for your comments and I'm glad you like the melody. Check out my latest song called I Should Have Known

Very good Personally I like this the way it is. There is plenty of breathing room allowing me to take in each section as it evolves. A percussion track may tend to guide the listener too much.... with the echo and reverb I found the musical statements were perfectly punctuated and created a cool weightless like vibe. The actual timing of the phrases were actually anchored by the silence. Regardless of what you do this is very good and I enjoyed the listen ( big fan of the clav ) Check out my latest song called Sailing Across a Sea of Light Pt II

Norman Insightful comments. I like the way the instruments sound by themselves also. The irony is that without the drums I have trouble keeping the solid beat that you hear while I am playing them (the metronome just doesn't do it for me). Thanks for listening!

Some thoughts... I agree with others about the simplicity of the arrangement --- forget about beefing up the orchestration. This is clean as is... Way to go. Personally, I am into developing melody...Don't know if you are thinking about that. As it is, this is an interesting and engaging rhythmic composition that doesn't really GO anywhere in particular. If that's what you meant, it works great. I just think there's another compostional element that would make this number take off. Something to consider...or not.

Spacey hey PP - this has a nice open spacey feel to it. Love the guitar riffs, and the piano works really well too. This is great as it is ... but yeah, some drums and bass would give it a bit more grounding I guess. So many ways you can work at a song ... but if your happy, leave it ... then onto the next one!

very nice so you also have a Clavinova? I've had mine for a few yrs and love it, although my daugher rather play our real piano....I really liked the sounds....I have not experimented much other than the piano sounds and I have yet to find the perfect piano sound in either GB or LE. At any rate, this piece has great sounds and melody...thank you for sharing Check out my latest song called Simple Feelings

| peacepiano said 932 days ago (May 8th, 2007) | |

Enrique Gil The key action is great on the clav. Mine only has 6 voices, so GarageBand has opened up a lot of new sounds. I have to agree that the GB piano is not great, I have heard some other people record using Ivory and that sounds excellent. BUT: If I had a real piano at home I would play that a lot more than the clav. Thanks for stopping by. Check out my latest song called I Should Have Known

Anne Thanks for listening. I'd like to take full credit for the idea of leaving out the drums, but a recent thread here about use of drums loops advised restraint or removal if you couldn't make the drums a truly integral part of the song. I played it both ways for my wife and the this is what she liked best. Check out my latest song called I Should Have Known

Cascading That is what comes to my mind when I listen. Just the focus of the flow. Sometimes gushing other times slow and steady.

i like this i like this, but yea drums would sound very nice in here, i'd play around with the drum loop, and the different drum types to see what sound you like the best... i've also learned that sometimes its better to scrap the drum loop you used for tempo, and make an entirely new one for the song, it'll at times give a whole new look into the song you're makin.. very cool Check out my latest song called Not Just Another Girl

Bill, the harmony! The simple harmonies in here are really moving. I like the way you stack the notes up in the guitar line, piano line, and chords. Cool stripped down production too, especially on the piano. It has a very live feel, and you know I like that. There are some notes in the guitar that I'd like to hear with a bit less sustain on the delay, but that's the only downside I hear in this piece. It's quite nice. -g Check out my latest song called 08nov08

| gregd said 889 days ago (June 21st, 2007) | |

on the drums I think the success of the drum loop depends on which loop you're using. It sounds so free with no drums; it's a very cool, different sound. Can you post another version with drums? Can I try a remix of this with some drums? Drop me a line if you think so. -g --- If you find yourself lacking finesse, a big rock will usually make a sufficient substitute.

to hear the guitars so clear, and the keyboard as the percussion at parts............it gives a smooth relaxing feeling :)
