Description

Kristyjo posted this really nice instrumental awhile back, it was a solo flute and I really loved it. she was kind enough to let me play around with it. I was actually pretty leery of trying to add anything to it as it was so nice, but i decided to go ahead and do something. I have been having a really bad creative block lately, and this was really a nice space for me to get into.

i used kristyjo's flute, one of the buddha machine loops that are available online, and then some snippets of things i had created. i also used Augustus Loop in this one as I had purchased it, but never got around to playing with it. thanks kristyjo, hope you like this.

here's the original: http://www.macjams.com/song/49296

	This is great... I'm so glad she let you experiment with her flute sounds.... you have done something very tasteful with them here. This sort of progresses on from the cello/theramin.... and perhaps we can do more in the series! Check out my latest song called Luna Gypsy Heart II (Eternal Firelight)

yeah
i would love that. haven't really been in the pop songwriting mode lately, and I would love to do some more soundscape types of things. have actually been a little out of it as of late. never happens to me, i always write no matter what, and yet it eludes me as of late. haven't even been listening to any music really. i will snap out of it though. thanks so much for the listen and I am really happy that you liked it.

Beautiful
Although I have to admit this is the type of music that I find difficult to comment on, I shall still take an attempt at it. It brings me into a visual dream listening to it, like a movie without any photography. I am currently having a Chinese film period, and this would fit into many situations, and scenes. I personally got an underwater image, perhaps because of the sounds used. All the sounds melt into one and each other building a massive, thick (at times frightening) image.

Indigenous space.
Sorry to hear about your writer's block. The soundscape is deep and beautiful. The picture suggests the loneliness of space. In my humble O, flute does not go along with the title, the picture, or the ambient backdrop. This would probably work well without the flute (nothing against Kristy's beautiful piece). But then, I'm partial to ambient space drone. I hope you will do more ambient. You've obviously got the knack for it.

cool
the picture definitely suits the sounds. really well done you two. will enjoy this when it comes up on my 'music to draw to' playlist.
Hey michael, I hear you man. Doesn't sound like you're too concerned but don't sweat it. As you say you'll snap out of it. I went through a period not too long ago where I couldn't listen to ANYTHING let alone my own stuff, and every time I sat down to play I had no motivation. That usually never happens to me. I think it's normal though. usually you come back stronger than you were before. Can't wait till that happens for you. Good to see you around here again.

Nice work!
Excellent mix with Kristyjo's flute. Good ambient piece! I had the trial version of Augustus (G)Loop but it turned me down before the final mix of the song I was working on so I had to try and recreate by myself...

Thanks for the download! Actually, in my iTunes list I can't see the effect of your creative block just yet :-)

wow-
This is so awesome! You've given such a wonderful ambient soundscape for my little flute ditty to ride along in. It's SO relaxing. At first I thought of underwater, but it's more 'spacey' as I listen to it evolve. Great reworking, and I'm glad this piece helped give you a space to be creative. (Oh- and thanks for sharing the reactions of your daughter. That's really neat.)

	Wonderfully calming and relaxing Michael. Kristyjo's flute is full of peace and tranquility as is, but when place into this, it takes on a whole new dimension. Wonderfully ethereal. Ed Check out my latest song called Just a little Something

	Hi Did not know what to expect but I am downloading this one and adding to my ambient playlist on itunes. Very relaxing and meditative. I would like to offer some critique but I really like it just the way it is. Maybe some ambient noise in the background (i.e., rain or ocean)? Check out my latest song called Tuesday Sometimes

	Floating Lovely piece. The flute is off somewhere in the distance, weaving in and out of my aural field of vision, meanwhile I'm contemplating the planets floating by. Lovely. Check out my latest song called Pipe Spring at Dusk
