October 01, 2025  -  User Showcase Song: This Tree

This is a song that I wrote back in 2022 but, for some reason that I can't recall now, I never got around to finishing it. When I was doing a back up of my songs recently, I stumbled across it and was inspired. So with the help of Kevin 2 (in Synth V), I set about trying to create some kind of respectable arrangement. This is where tinkering with BIAB, Synth V and Reaper took me.

Comments on any aspect of the song or its production are welcome.

I hope you enjoy it.
