Mr. Brooks...

I think your "Winter's Song" is an affecting, symphonically satisfying piece of seasonally-themed music. All of the instruments coalesce in a lush, brooding, but harmonically enriching way. Structurally speaking, the song moves in and out of light and darkness in a truly grand, even epic fashion. There are also some chordal constructions here that are startling in the way they color the sound of the orchestra.

You are releasing some really interesting compositions here, lately. You've certainly got me following you!

Through your musical soul,

LOREN

Wow - what a gorgeous tune smile Definitely has that wintery vibe. I love how lush and vibrant it is. The textures are stunning and icy, and I thought the progressions on this were great too.

Thanks for sharing!

This song definitely has a very wintery feel to it. Even if the song didn't have the "Winter Song" title I would definitely know this was an instrumental with winter as inspiration.

Thanks for taking the time to share!

Hello Dave, This sounds so fresh! Love how lush the string sections sound and the overall progression on this. The mix sounds very well balanced too. Well done!

Hi Dave,

I love the chord progression. Very beautiful soundscapes that you are creating.

I hear some sort of "white noise" on top of the strings. Is that deliberately? Maybe it is just my speakers...


Thanks for sharing such a great tune!

Hi Will!

Thanks for listening! I don't remember hearing any "white noise" on top of the strings, but I' go back and listen again.

I think your ears are younger than mine so you could be right. Now, from time to time, I've been known to add a taste of distortion to help the track cut through the other instruments, but I will investigate...

Thanks again,
Dave

Hi Will!

Well I took a re-listen, and didn't find any "white noise" as you believed. Maybe I had my High pass filters set a bit high, but by listening again, I came up with a new mix fix. You are now sitting "in" the orchestra!!! =D

Let me know what you think!!!

All the best,
Dave
