	I'm right here... ...listening to another terrific piece from you! Love it--did you really complete it in a night?:) Check out my latest song called Shaolin Munk Funk (w/ musichead & awigze)

	Thanks Andy! Just finished a scoring project and needed to relax musically. When a track can be anything it wants to be, time is very kind. Scoring for specific projects takes me much longer...this one I started at 8pm and was done by midnight. Thanks again for stopping by! Check out my latest song called Highlands

	peace I was completely at peace after listening. What a gift you have. The progression is so simple but you make it resonate with every passing. I'd marry that leslie wurlitzer sound if I could. Check out my latest song called Blackwater (by Tokai)

	Sweet Enjoyed this piece very much. A simplistic phrase that breathes life into every layer that adds to it. It never gets repetitive because the mind is occupied with the many lovely sounds here. The imaged ephemeral joys of childhood pictured above is a great drawing and addition ;) Thank you for sharing this! pg Check out my latest song called Derelict

	i'm still here pari - wow, you draw too! i guess i shouldn't be surprised. this is your idea of "relaxing" musically? lol - you're just amazing. what wonderful, wonderful work - thanks for the D/L sir! Check out my latest song called Wave Goodbye

Parichayaka	Parichayaka said 360 days ago (June 25th, 2012)
	you always say the nicest things 'relaxing' only because when there are no guidelines for a track, it's just a simple creative flow. And judging by your own beautiful music, you of all people you know what that means! Check out my latest song called Highlands

Gentle
I'm in France, but will soon be back home again.

That unique synth is a very cool way to start off and the progression as you fill our the rest of the frequency range works very nicely. The whole piece shines with the golden glow of the setting sun, maybe modified in time with the memories of things long past. No rushing, no excess, just a lovely window into a point in time and the emotions that go with it.

The whistling reminds me of Andrew Bird (a good thing!).

I don't know how you can put out such quality in 4 hours, but it is a skill I would love to possess as well.

I appreciate the pause you have given me this afternoon. I'm all warm and fuzzy after this one.

Be well Pari,
Doug

	merci beaucoup that comment is more lyrical and inspiring than the music! thanks for taking the time, really appreciate it. and to be fair, it took me many years to have a setup/sample library that allows me to just make music without having to spend hours in post production to get a good mix!

	Andrew Bird yes, I can see that in a way too. Check out my latest song called yes you told me (that you're cynical)

	I'm still here Fascinating. Has almost a religious feel to the opening. Beautifully simple and effective chord progression. The whistling add lightness and joy. Good drawing, too! Much enjoyed. Check out my latest song called Coming Home (MJCC2013)

Your lead instrument(s)
are a little unusual-sounding and also uniquely appealing. This tune is catchy and easily remembered, sort of a mantra-like composition that doesn't take too much cerebral effort to get lost in. The whistling is so pleasant, too. Opie would be proud! (I thought the bass was overwhelming throughout. I wonder if that could be dialed back a bit so it's not so prominent.)
Delightful tune.

	Who's Opie? :) i liked the contrast of a sweet carefree tune and the strong bass, but can easily understand how it could be too much. thanks for always stopping by to listen, i've told you many times before how much i appreciate you as a composer and piano player.

	Lots to enjoy here simple and not so simple. I especially love the whistling. A very sweet listen. Cheers, Charlie Check out my latest song called RADIANT FLESH (take 2)

outstanding
this is really nice. that piano sound is to die for. did you do this with Logic or is that a real piano? so many sweet bits. that whistling for some reason reminds me of a melody Kate Bush might sing and is perfect. also love that swelling feedback sound and the distorted Rhodes (?) sound. very nice man, glad you posted this.

Parichayaka	Parichayaka said 359 days ago (June 26th, 2012)
	looked up Andrew Bird - interesting. when i was done i remembered a Sia song that had a similar part in the melody. the piano is a steinway played through a 'guitar rig' amp filter. couldn't believe how perfect it sounded when i first tried it (all in logic). great that you stopped by! you always pick up on the smallest details. thanks!

	catchy tune Doesn't suffer at all for lack of vocals. This is cool, the word anthemic comes to mind. Check out my latest song called deseree

	the synth hook sounds like something I'd be delighted to find in a Passion Pit song. This unflinchingly upbeat, and I'm charmed by it. Really nice. Check out my latest song called Canto II: A Rough Beast (To Stave Off The Rot)

	I'm Still Here Man, I'm a fan of your musicality...you have a very melodic view, and it is evident here. This will be in my head all night I suppose. Fantastic chord movement and the ethereal quality of this makes it very current feeling...I could hear this soundtracked...lovely. Check out my latest song called The Game

Parichayaka	Parichayaka said 356 days ago (June 29th, 2012)
	I'm Still Here so glad that even with the heavy bass you picked up on a light, ethereal feel. really hope this won't be stuck in your head though! Check out my latest song called Highlands

	very nice i could imagine bits of this fading in and out throughout a wes anderson film in a themeatic way i agree that macjams seems empty these days...a shell of its former self...its nice to hear something like this inside the shell i am impressed that you reply to all the comments... Check out my latest song called projective plan path (with michael 2)

Parichayaka said 354 days ago (June 30th, 2012)

wes anderson
and bill murray whistling the tune...that would be something;) and regarding macjams being empty and whatnot, with this post alone i've come across new music and gotten some feedback from people with your kind of talent - so as long as there are people like you involved, mj's not gonna go anywhere. nice reassurance that is. 'quantity' after all, no?

Splendid!
I've been listening to this for a couple of days now, it's such a great warm song and it keeps growing. Like PD, I can picture this as a soundtrack in an sort of "indie" kind of film. Positive emotions of overcoming.

Love that fuzzy bass sound, very very effective. The background sounds is a nice touch that add an organic feel.

Thanks for the download. And I like the drawing too :)

fuzzy bass
great timing with your comment - made me look for a new post and discovered your latest track! i'm really happy you hear something positive in this one, but i will admit that after listening to your post i feel much calmer than i would after listening to my own. always nice that appreciation is reciprocal (is that still a word?) as i've downloaded almost all your tracks now. thanks for that too.

ahhhhh
this was like the "It's a small world afterall" ride at disneyland where it's just the same thing over and over just dressed up differently and you enjoyed it and then couldn't get the song out of your head after..... just like this song! there's nothing wrong with simple, especially simple done well and doing simple well sometimes isn't so simple. but this was simple done well...and....well.... I simply enjoyed it!

simple...
i totally agree with you! "Simplicity is an advanced course" - Sri Chinmoy once said. I've never forgotten that and some of my favorite music has tremendous depth because of its simplicity. This is track is almost silly cpompared to that statement, and ironically it's also fairly complex - I counted 20 different audio and instrument tracks. Very cool track 'At Times' by the way - how many instruments do you play?!

	Carefree and loving it! Is the feeling I'm getting from this fun track. Love the deep electro beat and the wobbly organ sound and of the course the whistling. Great choice to use the whistling, it grounds the track into fun. See you like to dabble in Art as well, great way to relax and great pic :) Check out my latest song called Symbiosis

	great! so happy you liked it. really enjoy your music too (still listening to Itineris and Athera's Water is a powerhouse!) and coming from an inventive musician like yourself, it's a nice compliment that you like the combination of sounds. thanks! Check out my latest song called Highlands
