A very interesting piece of music. It sounds like you were experimenting with textures and you did a great job of it! Super chops as always.

Going out of your comfort zone can be scary but also very rewarding.

Good job one this.

PS - I thought that the ending was a little abrupt. A minor complaint for sure but something that you might want to look into. YMMV

Very interesting. The first and third sections, where the fiddle was dominant, reminded me of some of the up-tempo work of violinist Vanessa Mae (popular in the 90s). Have not tried scaler myself. Hope to look into it when I get time.


My music may not set the world on fire but if it causes a glow in just one person's heart, it has all been worthwhile smile

Good experimentation, Eric.

The backing track is big and cinematic - but I thought it could use a bit more change-up once in a while.
And would have liked to hear you guitar slightly louder in the mix.

Keep it up!

Yes, yes, Eric, turn up your guitar. It's my favorite part and it seems lost in the competing mix. Really cool experiment and I like the results. It feels like I'm standing under the bells of the cymbals and they are overwhelming the mix. There's alot of cool, creative stuff happening in there.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Hi F.M.M.,

Very pleasant ambiance. Beautiful suite of chords that plunges us into an Irish or Scottish atmosphere. The melodic instruments between the violin and the guitar are well chosen.

For me, it's a bit repetitive (even if it's intended). It would have been nice to make some variations in the chords to bring a renewed interest. Especially since your instrumental plays for 5 minutes.
But it's pleasant and I enjoyed it. Well done.

Kindly regard

Ps ; Scaler1 or scaler2 is a good product to find variations into chords suite

Eric, I know you are experimenting here with new sounds but I really like the huge sound you've created with this! Sounds pretty good to me! Thanks, Torrey

Cool stuff - I'm not used to your playing being, for much of a piece, drawn back into the ensemble. It does makes sense though and sounds good. The fiddle part at 2.26 sounds at odds with the general tone but it makes a good contrast too.
Some Ebow work from you would REALLY sit within the ensemble.


Cheers

Eric,
Wild experiment. Jungle of tasty sounds. Pretty hypnotic too.
I started listening and reading your notes trying to focus, but then forgot what I was going to write about:) I like tunes that capture attention in soft way. Ok, remembered! I think the opening is too abrupt. If it was up to me, I would start with less instruments and add them as tune progresses. Scaler is a cool toy. I use it only as a scale / chord reference tool. I think I should experiment with it beyond my limited use. Thank you for sharing.

Misha.

Definitely cinematic, I like the development between the Celtic fiddle and the electric guitar. Very interesting chording. Enjoyed the atmosphere.
