Carl, very smooth, professional, and fun to listen to. All of your playing is first rate, and your recording/mix/master is very fine. Always love your guitar tone, and this is no exception, but your piano touch is super here, too. Just a very cool tune.

Wow thanks a lot Ron - I was doubtful that anyone would approve of this one, not many tunes on the forum running at 058 BPM (fall asleep music I call it).
Pleased it found your ears - thanks again for your very nice comments and for listening!!

Cheers, Carl

Not only are you a master of many instruments you are also a professional producer.
This sounds fantastic.
Super mix.

PS - a lot of my music is around 60 BPM.


My goal this weekend is to move just enough each day so that no one pokes me to see if I'm dead or not.

Very glad it found your ears Mario - thanks a lot for your very nice comment!!
The thing is I don't have a clue technically - I just imagine what things should sound like, and then pursue those sounds!
If you bunged my tracks through Ozone, then I suspect they would sound 'digital' - I aim to sound 'real' with good general audio balance, warm but clear and not A.I. like!
I have always favoured hand-wired valve amps for el guitar (not a fan of distorted guitars through VST amps!!) - I was delighted to discover Scuffham Amps S-Gear for my preferred clean el guitar tracks, so convenient and versatile! Combined with my favourite Mojo P90 (www.mojopickups.co.uk) and Lollar pickups I'm slowly discovering my guitar sound and style (still trying at 75) - chuffed that you approved Mario!!

Have a great Easter!

Cheers and thanks again, Carl

Smooth and relaxing, just what you need after a hard day.
Your playing is pretty good, and so is the overall production.
Enjoyed the listen!

Hi, Carl.

To steal what B.D. said: smooth and relaxing.

Nicely done - nothing fancy, just very musical. smile

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Love the vibe of this instrumental My imagination had me visualisi8ng a romantic indoor cuddly and smoochy scene, rather than still lakes, but that it conjures loving vibes is what makes it for me.

Thanks a lot Chay, very pleased you like my chilled tune - well that's the beauty of music, we're free to engage in whatever our tunes conjure up in our imagination!
Great if this brought up an image of a 'smoochy romantic cuddle' in your mind - others might 'see' something completely different and that's perfect!
Thanks for listening!

Cheers, Carl
