Hi all, I hope you all are doing well! I've finally managed to get some inspiration again and I have done this little instrumental... it is a kind of lo-fi chill/jazz with a hint of reggae (I think). https://soundcloud.com/user-656274325/the-one-without Realtracks used in this one: RT711:Bass, Acoustic, Bossa RT2703, Synth Rhythm CloudRapHighOrgan RT2327: Koto, Synth, Rhythm, NewAge RT1071: Trumpet, Soloist SmoothJazzPoppy RealDrums: AltHipHop Will

Will, You could have added Oriental Mystique to your description... and a few other tags as this moves effortlessly between genres The synth CloudRap organ coming in is a sweet surprise, and everything as always, sounds polished and still natural. Enjoyed!

Yes, a nice oriental touch, especially during the intro. You have crafted a masterpiece by intermixing different instruments that I would have never thought would sound so good together. Your mix is super.

Interesting! The drums sound a more like Middle Eastern percussion than a standard drum kit, which fits the rest of the song. Very cool!

Really well done - the mix is fantastic, and the koto realtrack fit perfectly in the mix. It flows tremendously wewll and make for a 'cerebral' listen, if you will. I wouldn't change a thing - thanks for sharing!
Cheers, Deryk

Love how you started out with such a bare, simple mix to state your motif—that is doing the most with very little. The slow,slow tempo gives the bossa bass a completely unique feel. And that trumpet solo—sounds great!

Very well put together, Will. Love the trumpet. A great listen. BTW, this is the second song I've listened to on the showcase this morning featuring the Koto! Regards, Leon

wow, I like this a lot, and it left me at a loss for words, so I'm going to simply echo everything that has been said so far.
So very interesting, a song like that would never occur to me in a million years.

Hi Will,
What a coincidence we both used a Koto in our songs! You made nice use of it too, although the performance was a little short. Probabely that is because so much more happens in your song! I liked how you did that. All those instruments together are working out marvelous, to my humble opinion. But what I liked the most though, is that tension of the rhythm section. I think that glued everything together in a very attractive way
A nice peace of work, Hans

Hi Will,
finally! Finally you're back - I've been missing your very maverick productions.
And this one is another typical example of your creativity - kept my attention from the get-go to the last note. VERY enjoyable!
Take care and stay safe,
Stefan

It really came together when the synth kicked in...propelled the song and filled the left channel. Nice.

Will,
A wonderful musical experience! An outstanding "mix of genres".
Keeps the ear engaged throughout. An excellent mix - each instrument is clear and crisp and has its own space.
very much enjoyed.
