Cinematic stuff.

Vic

Vic, one can surmise what notes, phrases, or instruments are the stay or go and whatever one picks would be the correct answer.
I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Thanx Alan. Yes, I have a fine ear but the rest of my body sucks wink

I agree about those synths.

I love the unhurried feel and the sustained synths and voices - very peaceful (turmoil long gone).
The bass works really well, just keeping things moving enough.
Nice guitar and sax too.
Cheers,
Mike

Thanx Mike for commenting and noticing my bass track. I appreciate it.

Thanx so much Ron. Yes, I do like those pads also. Thanx for the Super-er comment. Just remember that education is important but playing guitar is importanter.

Just an excellent soundstage.

Yeah, we like it!

Mario,

The songs played were just as you described them, and I thoroughly enjoyed the mysterious soundtrack.
Your choice of instruments was excellent, and the different playing styles you used were wonderful.

Best regards.

Thanx so much Dave.

The SX Tele that I bought for $109 USD was recorded straight into my DAW. The effects on it are from Excite Audio’s Lifeline_expanse, preset GTR Ambient Sky.
