Very cool video.
Cool rhythm and very nice effects, mysterious cinematic bluegrass tune - this could be a completely new genre. Great effort, I enjoyed the experiment.

Dear 'Rob4580'...

Your song has an exciting soundscape. The drum track sounded like something from the movie, 'Shaft'. And then, you laid down a riveting bluegrass banjo loop accompanied by haunting choral performances. It's a startlingly atmospheric combination of musical elements that is just as memorable for its brevity.

Definitely interesting, "cinematic" and cool.
Your voice well within it too. Nice to hear you treating that with the same experimental/modern ear as the instruments.
I was intrigued and not disappointed.

Hi Rob 4580,

Well, I guess the main thing I can say about your song is it uses and old show biz trick...
Keep it short and leave them wanting to come back for more! I'm not really sure how else to describe your song, but it's definitely good! Catchy , well played and sung. Thanks for posting, I enjoyed the listen.

That was a really well-done production. Great arrangement and composition. Enjoyed it a lot!

Best parts of the video was where you don't see musicians play because they were a bit out of sync.

Thanks a lot for sharing that little masterpiece!

Interesting tune Rob. I liked it. Out of curiosity, what DAW did you use to put all of this together?

Cheers

I've never heard of cinematic bluegrass, but that sure is heck what it sound like to me!!!! Really nicely done Rob!! Take care, Greg
Very cool, great experiment! Would like to hear a little more vocals next time. Fiery skeleton was terrific.
Noth'n wrong with a little blue grass!

Well done, nice video production.

I'd never heard of cinematic bluegrass either but that didn't deter me really enjoying your song, production and the video. Very cool. I always like your vocals regardless of the genre of the song. Enjoyed listening.

Charlie
Very engaging tune, Rob, and a great video to show it.

Fascinating.

Sounds like something Bela Fleck might do.

Different, experimental and ultimately successful!

Kudos!

Rob,

That had to be a very labor intensive project! You did such a good job in so many ways here! The video was excellent with all the syncing of the musicians with audio not to mention the audio track you put together! Oh and BTW the vocal was super! Thanks, Torrey
