Looks like everything’s working… ears, hands, Mr. Brain. Nice feel on this.

What a lovely, laid-back jam. Quite enjoyable.

Good question about the tents. No harm with putting it in two tents if you ask me (correct me if if you disagree, admin team). It’s got a definite unplugged feel.

A uniquely Speckled happy mix. Sounds likes Dewey Bunnell and Ennio Morricone take a walking bass meeting with Ornette.

Really smooth, chilled mix, Speck. I like the way it winds down to silence a couple of times. Thanks for including my harmonica in the masterpiece!

Yeah, the original Javo/Martijn piece was short. I usually find a good spot to cut and stitch together to make it longer but this time I decided to just keep it short and do three variations, hence the silences. When thinking of what would sound good with it my first thought was your harmonica. Turned out to be the perfect choice (imho). So thank you.

This is really beautiful Speck and Rob’s harmonica is the icing on the cake. I have no idea why but this piece keeps making me think of the opening of ‘Breakfast at Tiffany’s’ when the exquisite Audrey Hepburn is wandering around at dawn in her black evening dress. Can’t give you a bigger compliment than that!

Beautiful music to start a day with. I have listened to it while I have started my day job. Immediately made me stop working and listening twice.
After listening I felt like refreshed.
Thanks for this wonderful piece of music.

Beautiful. Do you play clarinet or is the clarinet a sample? (I was recently thinking about how much I love the sound of clarinet). And music can absolutely be tagged for more than one tent!

Thanks. Nah, it’s a sample. Played on the keyboard through ID8 in Reason.
