Hey thanks for the visit &mdash 09/25/07 - 08:02:23 PM
I try not to repeat myself and try to let the riffs and the "moment" take the song where IT wants to go. I'm glad you appreciate them.

I imagine that you married that girl and are now on cloud 1000...nice production/mix, it has a live feel at parts and the upright bass is felt at gut level....nice sound

Whew ... what nice comments &mdash 09/25/07 - 08:08:57 PM
I'm really glad that you appreciate the effort I put into trying to put "life" into these pieces. It is always a goal of mine to keep things interesting and a bit unpredictable in my pieces as if they are "live". Sometimes I do better than at other times, but I find it works best for me when I use simpler instrumentation and try to emulate a small combo.

Thanks for the listing on your faves list.

I Like &mdash 09/26/07 - 05:27:37 AM
The nice easy sauntering (good word that LOL) beat on this. It has a sexy smooth feel and the light guitar sounds combined with that warm bass add to that; but clouds are like that aren't they? Very cool and floaty smooth, Lovely for relaxation this, regards M

Clouds ARE like that &mdash 09/26/07 - 06:59:54 AM
Clouds are coolest when they are not dark. But, then again, the dark clouds bring us the rains of love. (See the song on my page with THAT name).

upright &mdash 09/26/07 - 03:34:03 PM
of the Gods. Thats one big stand up bass. Super groovin line and the guitar work just floats over the rythym section. Sweet

I appreciate the comment &mdash 09/27/07 - 08:28:56 PM
It seems everyone is mentioning the bass sound on this song. I thought perhaps I went a little overboard but I left it the way that it was 'cause I liked it. I wanted to get the bass to sound as if the mic was almost INSIDE the instrument and inside the head of the person who was walking on Cloud 39. I guess I achieved that goal. Thanks for the visit.

Very smooth! &mdash 09/27/07 - 11:32:20 PM
That must have been some kiss, Bill! The guitar loop is familiar
, however, you used it in a way I never thought of. Nice work and excellent production. I liked this much! Kudos,

Ax

You recognized the single guitar loop that I (without mercy) sliced and diced to try to make it "my own" for this song. I make no apologies for that and readily admit to having no musical skills beyond my ability to edit well. I consider the way I work to be similar to the way a collage artist works in the visual medium, i.e. I take "found objects" and use them in a new way to try to come up with a new piece.

I've got a "grand" ear! &mdash 09/29/07 - 01:35:05 AM
You did an exceptional job crafting this piece, Bill! You do what you do very well my friend. I have a "phonographic" memory, I just wish I had a photographic one as well ;-P I'm impressed with your composing skills! I just don't add anybody to my" favorites" you know.

Comment appreciated &mdash 09/29/07 - 08:55:50 AM
I'm always overwhelmed by comments from people who feature pictures of themselves with instruments on their pages. 'cause I envy those with real skills to play music. :)

And it means even more from someone with a left handed guitar shown on his page ;)

Right or left handed you sure know how to grind that ax.

Smooth &mdash 09/29/07 - 03:43:46 PM
I like that deep, fat bassline keeping a smooth & relaxing rhythm to this. I would have guessed that either you played that guitar, or had a friend stop by for some recording. Very nice job arranging all of this! The production sounds really sweet too.
