A Glowing Afternoon A quiet, minimalistic tune with a mellow campfire vibe to it that I hope you enjoy  Anyway, here come the formalities: Style is BORRUM.STY Style MIDI Instruments are : Nylon String Guitar (25), Acoustic Piano (1), Nylon String Guitar (25), Slow String (50), MIDI SuperTracks in style: 3011:Piano, Rhythm CelticSlowWaltzDave Ev 100 MIDI SuperTracks in style: 2059:Strings, Rhythm CelticWaltz Ev 100p.s. I changed the strings patch to accordion to compliment the accordion melody, and further the "campfire" effect. I also raised the bass up an octave and changed the sound to same kind of guitar as on the guitar track, the intended effect being a fuller guitar that does bass & fingering. It worked much better than I had hoped for (once I had found a good VST for the job), so well in fact that now I rather want this kind of playing style done properly from PG as a "Solo-accompaniment" RT... hint-hint, nudge-nudge

I like it! This would be a great song to backup a quiet, sombre scene in a western movies - or, perhaps, a more modern movie out in nature. I liked it a lot! Best to you.

ALan Yes, Alan called it! It really has wonderful emotion that would make a great score for the right scene. Great job Eddie!! Take care. Greg

Icelander you nailed the campfire music so well that I almost started to make smores! The hardest pieces of music to mix properly are the less dense ones but you nailed it here.
Great work.

Icelander you nailed the campfire music so well that I almost started to make smores! NIce piece of running with the analogy there, heh... I guess I'll be making the cocoa, then! The hardest pieces of music to mix properly are the less dense ones.. Indeed, and trust it to our "Mr. Midi" man to pick up on this one, where the addition of midi sound makes that observation even more true. I myself only came to that whole "making things more difficult for myself" realisation after I was well past the point of no return  Glad to still get that vote of confidence on the outcome from the Man of Midi. Really means a lot, thank you.

Very nice. It conjures up lots of outdoorsy images.
We agree with Al that it is very cinematic in feel.
Thanks for including the background info on how you put it together.
Enjoyed it!

Very nice. It conjures up lots of outdoorsy images. The irony being that I'm far from being the "outdoorsy" type!  Thanks for including the background info on how you put it together. Sure, one must always respect the "formalities"... thanks likewise for the positive feedback

Tranquil and melodic- I didn`t know Midi folk could sound this good. The subtle changes you made seem to be the key so thanks for sharing that.

Right on with the whole campfire vibe. I can see people sitting around a campfire talking, sharing memories and eventually just quietly gazing by the end of it.
I always like songs that create a feeling. It's especially cool if it can be done without words. You did that.
Great job!

I reckon it's all about finding that fine balance between improving upon the things at your disposal on one hand, and on the other hand not try 'fix' what wasn't broken to begin with. It's an endless search, if you ask me, but I'm glad you liked the outcome in this case. I don't remember your name from any of my earlier submissions, so thank you likewise for stopping by for the listen & feedback

Hello, Eddie
Very nice campfire music! Tranquil and melodic! I felt harmonica would also fit this melody. Enjoyed my listen a lot. Good luck with the Xtra Styles 5 contest!
Best regards.

Spectacular. Very nice and clean. I'm a "few words" man unless I drink some beers. Today I had only water, so that's it. Great.

Hello, Eddie
Very nice campfire music! Tranquil and melodic! I felt harmonica would also fit this melody. Sure, and I went back and forth on which way to go there. I decided in the end on testing this accordion since that's the more common instrument of the two over here (including in campfire setting). Also I thought I was dangerously close to overusing the harmonica in my other recent submissions and felt it could use a little rest... it'll be back soon enough, I'm sure, no worries  p.s. I don't think my music has ever reached all the way over to Japan on the other side of the globe before! - The interweb sure has no borders
