Description
A couple of days ago I posted Distant Trance to gauge opinion. I have tried to take on board all your excellent suggestions and here is the result. A finished piece, if anything is ever finished. I hope you find it uplifting and relaxing.

I don't think
I heard the first version. Sounds like a windswept plain. I can see long grasses swaying as if dancing. There are some bright spots of what sounds like exhilaration, pure happiness. It is very nice. Thanks.

Glad you
liked it. The first version was a mere sketch. I am so glad you found it uplifting.

slow...
...but somehow hypnotic. Interesting track. Could use a few more tuning and smoothness at some points but anyway... this is creative and has a very beautiful ending. Thanks for sharing!

Yes
I know what you mean. I did try to change the tuning at pints but I seemed to loose the sound I wanted. I need to practice with Garageband more. Glad you liked the ending.

ooh yeah
I love what you've done with this! The original version was great, but you've really kicked it up a notch here. This is excellent. I really love those soft drums that come in 2/3 of the way through. A wonderful ambient piece of meditation. great ending. I really like this!

You inspired
me to push the envelope a little. I am glad you liked it. The beat is a two note arpeggio I thought sounded a bit like a heart beat. I had to do better with the ending, so I am glad you liked the result. Thanks for listening.

Thank you
For listening. I am glad you enjoyed it. I know you Swedes like the sea. The very end is a garageband loop called 'Sea Shore' and another loop with the sound of the wind which I messed with.

Very nice sounds
that are realaxing and uplifting, well done its a lovely track. Cool as well that you have used Computer Music Magazine synths and other free vsti, I use alot of them as well and they make some cool sounds. Nice one, this track was enjoyed.

Thank you for the listen
Free plugins are great when you are on a budget and you can get good results with a bit of playing. I am glad you enjoyed it.

Sweet soundbed
A very relaxing song with a great soundbed and extra details for interest. Made me think of To the Unknown Man by Vangelis (Spiral album). Possibly a couple of timing problems with the "solosynth", which I personally would try to soften a teeny bit, maybe by just subtracting some velocity (how hard the keys are hit) or adding even more reverb - but maybe that's just me. Still: a great post and I thank thee!

Glad you have enjoyed my music and it is nice that you have stopped by to listen to my back catalogue. I will have to re visit it also maybe I can polish things a little and work up a mini album. Thank you.
