I didn't post this tune for several months, because I was in a state of depression after all what happened to me, my family and close friends in 2020 - the Covid-19-year. I made the track in the beginning of this year (2021) - I wanted to somehow reflect the anxiety and confusion most of us felt during the pandemic year of 2020 - how would a classic romantic piece have sounded if it had been composed this year? Romance Anönimo 2021 Normally I would now list a number of RealTracks that I have used, but it doesn't really make sense in this case. I sampled a bunch of RT's and used them as inputs for a granular synth so I could create my own unique sound for this track. The piano is Stage-73 from Arturia. Let me know what you think! Will

Very atmospheric sounds - not sure if that's a word. Pretty track Will, it sounds like a movie scene score.

Hey Will, Sounds great. Good to see you back! This is cool. I think this is one of the first guitar pieces I learned as a kid.

Will, Interesting and dark meditational interpretation. Probably the most unusual Anónimo I have heard. Cool. Thank you for sharing.
Misha.

Nice capture of those anxious and confusing times, Will. Man, there is so much feeling in this piece. Such a wonderful production. Take care, and thanks for sharing this. It speaks for so many.

Will,
A beautiful piece. Your sampled-RT-synth sounds are super.
Sounds really cool in headphones. Good work. Relaxed with a slight tension.

I thought it was a scene from The Birds at 1st. The backing is sombre and dark with a sad melody riding it but I think you overplayed your hand with the FX - they are unrelenting and do conjure anxiety but, on my part, that morphed into annoyance because I wanted the melody to have some space and provide some resolution.

Nice work - like David I learned this on classical guitar.
Interesting use of synths sounds and technology.

It definitely captures the anxiety and depression of the period in a very cinematic way.
Using the RT's for samples is something I don't recall anybody else doing. Very interesting.
Janice says she is picturing huge swarms of blackbirds....
Well done!

Will,
This should be in a movie. It’s that good…
Creative and excellent sounding.
Thoroughly enjoyed.

Will, this is fantastic! I can see this one being used in a sy-fy movie. An excellent listen through headphones: I normally don't listen through headphones but I took Floyd's advice and I'm glad that I did.
This is a fantastic song - loved it.
