Chris, you certainly captured a great Gypsy feel. The Kontakt "Soni Musicae" Accordion has a great sound. Absolutely realistic.

This has been enjoyable from start to end.

Very cool bouncy beat. The holds are a nice touch as well. Guitar and fiddle were excellent as well

Hi Christian,

I'm always always in the mood for a good Gypsy Jazz song! This is really good - swinging and tapping my foot. Loved it! Great selection of BOAB tracks. The full stops were a bit of a surprise.

Nice!!!

Alan

Great work - it definitely captured a gypsy sort of feel. I love the groove of this - it's got a lot of character, and a sort of bounce to it. The stopping and starting throughout caught me off guard, but actually ended helping keep my attention the whole way throughout.

Thanks so much for sharing!


Cheers,
Deryk

I rather enjoyed the beat of this song. It's almost a little bouncy in my opinion. The stopping and starting originally had me questioning whether or not my headphones had just died ( at least on the first stop ), but once I realized it was intentionally I actually really liked it. It gave this feel of need to stop and go with the nomadic lifestyle.

Great share!


Cheers,
Ember
