Nice work on this. It moves along nicely with some interesting musical surprises.

I concur with Hacker. I'll add that you created a lush, clear, and pleasing sound with your instrumentation.

Fabulous Darren, love your guitar playing on this

Nice. I'd like to hear a little more of the guitar and less of the piano as the piano sounds "generic". Nice mix otherwise. Get Gilmourish in the last 30 seconds.

Hi, yes I know what you mean about the piano, I also found the snare to be a little bit too hard in the verses, especially verse 1, I did try to tame it down a little, tried a multiband comp, then a dynamic eq, but in the end, I just notched out a little with eq and automated it, the drums feel a little robotic and brittle, sometimes a vocalist will add lyrics which means that i will then remix them into the music and that changes everything. Thanks again for listening, you all rock!

A very enjoyable soundscape, Darren. I liked your guitar tone and the changes building to a satisfying ending.
It will be interesting to hear how this works with vocals added.

Darren, you are one hell of a good guitarist! Super chops man! This is one sweet sounding instrumental.

Hey Darren,

Excellent performances and really well balanced. I like how each instrument sits in its own space, and complements the others. Really nice tone and technique on the guitars.

Great chops and tone.

And you wrapped it up in a nice mix.

Welcome aboard!
