Very, very pretty! I wish the guitar track was louder., I love what I can hear of it, but it needs to be more forward in the mix.

All that said, this is a beautiful song. Sounds like a great piece of film music. The piano is very nice., loved the song! Best to you,

Alan

Hello, Ermar

Very nice song with a little Italian Canzone feel.
I am a big fan of the chord progression using Cycle of 5ths.
Your piano performance and guitar playing are great, but I really want lyrics and vocals for these melodies.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

For mixing, I' ll try to do best, for singing...next life maybe... :-)

Hi Ermar,

From start to finish, I sat here with my eyes closed and simply let images float through my mind. You've created such a hauntingly beautiful piece of music. I love your choice of chords, the arrangement and that wonderful 'tug at the heart strings' melody and its improvisation.

This shines with musicianship!

Regards,
Noel

Very cinematic. There is a lovely flow from the first to last note.

The guitar was very nice and a cool tone (we, too, would like to hear it up a bit in the mix). Nice use of RT's also.

Excellent composition and performance!

Beautiful music!!! From an early soaring movie score melody to a Santana instrumental of the Sunflower vintage. I would make the drums wetter....this one begs for a BIG feel. Absolutely lovely music!! Take care. Greg

Nice Santana type instrumental! I think you have listened to Europa a couple of times smile

This is you on the keys? Very nice playing. Guitar sounds good also, nice playing. Needs to be up in the mix though, should be a loud as that solo piano.

Good song!

Really nice work on this one smile I really like the velvety tones here. It sounds really lush and romantic. It makes me think of the kind of tune you'd hear during a ballroom dance scene in a musical. The instruments all meld together beautifully, and it captures a haunting, beautiful vibe.

Great job and thanks for sharing!


Cheers,
Deryk

Ermar,

Really nice electric guitar sound and playing, right up my street. smile

As said a bit louder in the mix would be a good thing, everything else spot on.

Nicely done. Very cinematic. I particularly like the piano work. Agree the first guitar needs to be brought up in the mix, not the later more overdriven guitar, which tone I love btw. Loved when the harmony guitar riff came in. Sweet. Lots of nice dynamics. Like it ending with the puabi after the guitars leave the mix.

The guitar section gives excellent contrast to the preceding parts and ties the whole piece together.
Nice.

First off this is beautiful instrumental, wouldn't change a thing.

The mix is clean, crisp and fresh as it should be.

This is refreshing to give comments on this as it truly is, awesome.
