It's got a live vibe, and - to my naive ears - sounds authentic. It reminds me how nice a well-placed vibra-slap sounds.

More importantly, it sounds great. A bit short, so yes, I did listen to it again. smile


Hello, 'dcuny'...

Yeah, that vibraslap placement was a bit laborious, 'cause I wanted it sound to unexpected, not mechanical. Thank you for noticing that.

Concerning the brevity of the song, lately I find myself feeling nostalgic about how brief songs that were broadcasted on the radio used to be 'back in the day', meaning most songs produced from the advent of commercial sound recording, up to about...the 60's. To my memory, two to three minutes was the norm, as far as the length goes.

There's something challenging about limiting a song/instrumental recording to that duration. I'd like to emulate that, not all the time, but here and there.

Thank you for listening to the bossa nova come 'round the bend, again, 'dcuny' smile
