Thank you, Floyd. Sometimes the fewest words say the most. I really appreciate it!

Best to you,

Alan

There is a feeling of mystery conveyed in this soundtrack that, even at the end, is not fully resolved. I guess I'll just have to wait until the movie is released wink

Very well done.

Nice, as always, use of BiaB tracks.

You always manage to make them sound like a well honed band.

Excellent open mix also.
One look at the SC waveform and we knew it would be both open and dynamic.

Well done in all aspects!

To me it was more of an introspective piece, not melancholy. The perfect piece to listen to at the end of a long day with a glass of red wine!

Great job, thanks for sharing your talents with the group.

That's very kind of you folks to say. I do my best to make them sound half-way decent with the limited amount of time I have. I'm happy to hear some of that effort is noticed. Thank you very much.

Your description fits mood of the piece well. The composition and production evokes an emotional response in the listener. The additional instruments provide the right sound to create that response.

That's one of my favorite all time sounds is a standup bass and a nylon string guitar, Simply beautiful! It's a good mix too because I can hear everything in its place. I'm still trying to get the mixing thing right. You did a great job.

Scott,

Sorry for the late reply, but my wife had a bad day and I've been with her until recently other than a brief look-in earlier..

Thank you so much for those very kind words. "Evoking an emotional response" is the best a composer can ask for and, you made my day! Thanks!!!!

Thank you very much for the listen and the very nice comments. I use a near-Neanderthal method of recording and mixing. No mixer, no DAW - just BIAB and Audacity. Thus, your comment on the mix put a smile on my face!

I appreciate you taking the time to listen and comment.

Best to you,

Alan

Beautifully composed, Alan. There is so much emotion and feeling. Sadness and understanding. Helplessnss and hope. Gratitude and solitude. Crowded in loneliness. Musical emotion.


Enjoy whatever happens!

This is absolutely lovely!

Really digging the mellow and poignant vibe.

With that solo it's reminding me of some of my favorite tracks on Daryl Stuermer's album Waiting in the Wings

Well done!

Hey Marty,

Well, I think you mentioned every emotion I put into the song, and one or two I hadn't even thought about. And, indeed, the emotions are antithetical. I think having contrasting emotions sometimes works pretty good.

I always appreciate your feedback and your time spent listening and commenting.

Wishing you everything good,

Alan

Hi Deacon,

It's so very nice to hear from you! Thank you so much for the great comments - much appreciated.. I'll have to check out "Waiting In The Wings". I'm not familiar with it. That's one of the many things I enjoy about the BIAB community - you often are directed to new sounds not previously familiar. Thanks fro the reference.

Best to both of you.

Alan

So difficult to get so much emotion into an instrumental. You nailed Alan. Very cool chord progressions and perfect melody for the song. Well done....
