Description

Latest mix of original version of my Lost Song. Jazzier with a different choice of instruments and extra lines that were cut out of the Lost Song. I like this version a lot better, but my wife is not so sure (and wives are always right, right?)

And this is my first major use of sound effects. Always risky, what do you think??

Enjoy.

	Feter Your the best! Glad you are hearing more dimensions here. That was what I had in mind. My lost song band is only a trio and they usually limit themselves to what they can play live, so I had to cut out the other parts. Check out my latest song called I Should Have Known

	Dick Thanks for listening. It no longer sounds much like ELP, but I think that is for the best. Check out my latest song called I Should Have Known

	still unsure but i like it. i like the effects, they were very subtle. changes in the mix are cool too. i especially like that flutey synth and the wicked wurli part. Check out my latest song called Stars and Dust (space challenge)

	Micheal Glad you like the effects. I was trying to create the right latitude. Check out my latest song called I Should Have Known

	MMm! All that Jazz sounds wonderful. I love the mix of instruments against that drum backing which also sounds great and as fluid as the subtle sound effect, great playing, love it M Check out my latest song called A Soldiers Dream (Remix/record)

peacepiano	peacepiano said 702 days ago (December 8th, 2007)
	Moviz Appreciate the comments about the drums. Drum mixing is always a challenge, this piece has three percussion parts in some places, two more than I usually can handle. Check out my latest song called I Should Have Known

Just so...
...cool, Bill. What a pleasant little jazz number. Love the synth flute and your Hammond. Very nice touches. The number really sustains itself. Are those drum loops? Well, they sound like the real thing...Hey, seagulls. Love it. (only suggestion: back off the bass a tad.) ... Oh...even a LONGER fade. You've got the right idea...just let it trail off...f-o-r-e-v-e-r... Such a nice song. Congratulations on some ingenious concepts.
Peace.
Paul

peacepiano	peacepiano said 702 days ago (December 8th, 2007)
	Paul The drums are loops, but there are quite a few compatible variants on this theme in the rhythm pack, plus a compatible conga which I use to support the drum kit and hopefully give it a more beach like mood. Thanks for you suggestion about the ending! Check out my latest song called I Should Have Known

Enrique Gil	Enrique Gil said 702 days ago (December 7th, 2007)
	well.... you can tell your wife this version is great. I sure liked it. I always enjoy to hear what was used to record/compose a particular piece. I wish you'd mentioned it in your description. Keep playing! Check out my latest song called Simple Feelings

peacepiano	peacepiano said 701 days ago (December 8th, 2007)
	Enrique Thanks for listening. I only have the clavinova, so everything but the drums are played through that. I am playing trough GarageBand using modified versions of the voices available. The drums and effects are also from GB or the Rhythm Jam Pack. Check out my latest song called I Should Have Known

davisamerica	davisamerica said 702 days ago (December 8th, 2007)
	right then yeah the sounds add an ambient plus and the drums do sound quiet reall...love the organ...dunno man..different song from LSP alright, but i like it alot! Check out my latest song called No Son(egobandit band)

peacepiano	peacepiano said 701 days ago (December 8th, 2007)
	DavisAmerica Glad you liked the organ and drums. I added a lot of drum fills to the LSP version to make it more Carl Palmer sounding, but that changed the mood of the song, definitely different. Check out my latest song called I Should Have Known

	Mix Very good version , the sound is larger , nice dynamics when the organ comes. (Welcome to the "club of wives comments survivors" hahaha )

peacepiano	peacepiano said 701 days ago (December 9th, 2007)
	Henri I am proud to join the "club of wives comments survivors" LOL Good to hear you picked up on the dynamics, I originally had the two flute parts switched, but that didn't support the gradual build up as well. Thanks again for listening. Check out my latest song called I Should Have Known

	sound effects I doubt that it took away from the song at all. The seagulls on the beach sound was fitting at the end and was subtle enough to assist in ending it as opposed to getting in the way. Check out my latest song called Verbal Watlz feat. Fresh Master Def

peacepiano	peacepiano said 698 days ago (December 11th, 2007)
	JustBase Thanks for relaxing to this. Whenever I find out about what a famous artist listens to, I am always amazed that they often listen to music their fans would not like. Check out my latest song called I Should Have Known

dajama	dajama said 698 days ago (December 11th, 2007)
	Nice groove and VERY nice playing throughout! I think the sound effects work well. Nice jazzy track. I have to say the picture just wants me to lay down on a beach somewhere, with this on the headphones and nothing but blue before me. DId I mention it was very evocative?! Very cool track. Nice work. Peace. Check out my latest song called Across the Wire (MJRF)

	Swell! This is really groovy, and feels like it's just one section of an endless jam going on somewhere far from here..... I prefer this version to the ELP one, and think you should step up the sound effects on your next song. Enjoyed.

peacepiano	peacepiano said 696 days ago (December 14th, 2007)
	Sonny Jim Another costumer successfully taken somewhere far away :) I'll have to find a good musical context for the effects before I use them, but I like your push the envelope thinking. Pushing on. Check out my latest song called I Should Have Known

Bongos
The bongos really are groovy, at the top of the piece. What a nice bed for the rest of the track.

I like the electric piano line. Very well done. Makes me think of Spyro Gyra.

The organ part is appealing, and sounds very authentic.

I like the space you put between phrases, from time to time. Makes the notes you do play sound all the sweeter.

	John Spyro Gyra is one of my favorite bands. I have several of their albums and listen to them a lot. If I was thinking more clearly when I did the Lost Song Project I should have used this as a lost Spyro Gyra song, instead of forcing it into a late ELP sound. Thanks for your comments :) Check out my latest song called I Should Have Known

	def jazzier. The effects are used to great affect. Tastefully without being over the top. The flute synth lead is melodic and relaxing. Diggin the B3 sound as well. Check out my latest song called off the deck (w/Z293)

peacepiano	peacepiano said 685 days ago (December 24th, 2007)
	KTB I think I prefer the jazzier sound. The flute is pretty fun to imitate on the keyboard. Thanks for stopping by :) Check out my latest song called I Should Have Known

	Great Piece Hi Bill... I like this... I like anything that makes me feel good... in a groove.. after I listen to it. Really liked the keys breakout about 3/4 way through... Great job :) Check out my latest song called Hearts Alive

TobinMueller	TobinMueller said 670 days ago (January 9th, 2008)
	Warming interlude Very nice sound, mixing, warm feel. The melodic content is a bit rambling, like a slice of life free jam, and could use a stronger theme (in my eyes) to give the track more substance. Enjoyable interlude. Check out my latest song called Forge A New Life (MJRF)

peacepiano	peacepiano said 670 days ago (January 9th, 2008)
	Tobin Thanks for taking the time to comment! Your point about the melodic content is very helpful. I seem to have plateaued, so sound advice like that is just the ticket :) Check out my latest song called I Should Have Known

	relaxing groove Great arrangement & performances! The keyboard work is excellent, and the bass (whether sampled or real) is very nice. A good tune to have on the iPod while kicking back, closing my eyes, and wishing winter would end! Good stuff! Check out my latest song called Jesus Came Down

peacepiano	peacepiano said 665 days ago (January 14th, 2008)
	cthayes Glad you like the key work. The bass is another keyboard track. The percussion is Apple loops. Always fun using these warm beats in the wintertime! Thanks for listening. Check out my latest song called I Should Have Known

	different mix and the plusher sounds are a huge boost. This one has got a more tropical ambience. Different level of the fx in mix? nice remix! Check out my latest song called off the deck (w/Z293)

air to breath
Yes - wives are always right ... so you are better off not asking her : >

I like the sound effects. They help develop the island-beach mood of the piece, adding ambience. Using them is like working with other instruments: the more you do it, the more natural it seems for them to be a part of a composition.

This whole piece is a breath of fresh air.
