A Fait Accompli

Description

This one has been a nightmare to mix. I've spent an absolute age trying to get it right, so apologies if you listen and think it doesn't sound right. Any suggestions would be gratefully received!

The oo-ing and ah-ing voices are a mixture from the Alchemy and Omnisphere synths and the rest of the noises have been provided by U-He's wonderful Zebra 2. I hope you might find something you like about it.

Thanks for listening!

	A Fait Accompli Beautiful and serene piece, a sense of floating in cosmos. On my third listen now. Great job on mixing (I'm listening with headphones), especially on balancing that amazing deep bass just right, which I would probably turn into a pile of mud myself. I'm glad to hear a new track from you! Check out my latest song called Frolic

Hi Dave.....
I too have listened to this piece of music many times since yesterday. The initial vocal presentation and style (almost stacatto) was truely inspirational and worked very well with the musical accompaniment. As the vocals progressed, they became (in my opinion) too much part of the mix, becoming almost lost. That, if anything, would be my only observation. Other than that, it is a very impressive piece of music Mr Jones.

Take care.

chilled out
So I'm sitting at home thinking I'm quite relaxed but this piece just takes me down to another level and makes me feel blissful. It's like an aural massage and I can feel any uptightness in my body just oozing away.
The mix is fine by me. I can't hear any point were it jars.
Lovely, peaceful calming stuff.
Fully enjoyed
Thanks for the download
cheers

	A Fait Accompli This is an amazing piece Dave ... your work always takes me away from my world and puts me into another dimension ... peaceful ... when I leave this world I want to go here ... very good mix ... you are too close to it. Everything has a nice balance to it and well separated in the soundscape. Quite beautiful.... Cheers SG Check out my latest song called Song of Life

	A Fait Accompli It's difficult getting those voxy synths to behave the way you might want them to, but apologies? Oh, p'shaw. As always, you provide inspiration. Beautiful piece. There's nothing like the female voice ooohing and aaahing over a dreamy synth bed. Fabulous chord change at 3:05. My cup o' tea --- if only I could brew my own.... Check out my latest song called Moonset

	DJ Very chilled, atmospheric piece of ambient music. Just right for this Sunday morning and a cloudy head. Why does all ambient music remind me of space? I have not the patience to write such beautiful soundscapes so thanks for this. Check out my latest song called yucatec
