Summer Place (collab with kcsaito)

Description

I would like to thank Keishi Saito (kcsaito) for his wonderful work on this. Visit Keishi's artist page, http://www.macjams.com/users.php?mode=profile&uid=4783, and click anywhere. You can't miss.

The piece is called Summer Place because the flutes are vaguely reminiscent of Percy Faith's classic 1960s hit, "Theme From 'A Summer Place.'" Keishi's acoustic piano work also seems to be from another era, or maybe, from an era to come.

No loops, except for drums in the middle section.

Prepare to relax.

Spring must be in the air...
What a great collaboration! Two people with such great
ideas coming together like that; very original, very pretty
without being twee. I really like
your dancy chording. It reminds me of the Penguin Cafe
Orchestra. And what a great idea to get kc involved; it
already had a light-headed feel to it, so his piano playing
is perfect. Downloading as we speak...

	Terrific! This is really nice and a great example of global collaboration. Musically this was very satisfying- perfectly executed, gentlemen! Check out my latest song called Ballad of The Little Tiki

	Terrific! Thanks Tom & Adam. This is my first collaboration, and the language barrier made it interesting. But what was most amazing to me was how quickly kc figured this tune out and made it his own. The reason I asked him to do it is because I had no idea how to put a lead with this. He's great.

	Love the Tones Here The subtle interplay, the timbres, the mix of relaxed and slightly edgy, the smooth and the angular. I am left wanting the next song. The production is excellent as well. Bravo to both of you!
