Brian,

A pleasant listen. Nicely mixed. I particularly liked the pan flute...

Always nice when an instrumental has a recurring theme to latch on to... well done.

Nice composition. Liked the mandolin and talk between pan pipes and flute.
Mixed and arranged very well. Thank you for sharing.

Misha.

Hi Brian,

Yes - very nice tune and well played.

I thought a couple of times you were going to break into "Ghost Riders In The Sky" - the Duane Eddy version. One of my favorites.

Maybe you could put a little extra effect on your guitar (Duane Eddy sound).

Best Regards
Nigel

Hi Brian,

Esperanza (Hope) lives up to its title.
Especially when the flutes come in. Then the song comes more to life.
The solo guitar seems to play brighter from that moment. Well composed and played!

I like it,
Hans

What a nice ride. Sure has that fun gallop of the best theme songs. Very well created, played and mixed, Brian. A great choice of instruments and creatively intertwined.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Ghostgum, this is like something out of an old western movie and I love it! Love the instrument selections and the overall final sound! Great job with the guitar parts! The Takamine sounds pretty good to me! Thanks, Torrey

Thanks to all the BIAB reviewers for your positive feedback. Since uploading this track I have made some minor adjustments in the last few bars - the inclusion of some orchestral percussion to provide a little added drama. wink

Move over Morricone! (I was just waiting for the trumpet smile ). Very cinematic and enjoyable, Brian.

Very cinematic in a western way.

Outstanding tone and playing ... mesmerizing.

And topped off with an excellent mix.
