Not completely convinced that the tag “funky” best describes this piece. However, your mix is lovely. The piano is very good and lots of little lush details like the wah-wah or whatever it is two thirds in and the distant choir or mellotron sound through the first half of the song.

Thanks a lot. You’re right, the funky tag is not relevant. I’ll remove it right now. In fact, I started without the piano, and the wah guitar brought more funk to the rythm. I lowered it, and it now only shows up at 1/3 of the mix.
The ‘Mellotron’ is in fact a Kore Player (free demo sampler here) with the preset ‘Abyss Flowers’. continuous E3 + various notes, to glue it all. I still need to polish the whole stuff: - make the drums less metronomic - clean the bass (a Steinberger spirit) - perfect the piano, as I have some problems with the not fast/not slow beat, and remaining consistent with the tempo is still a pain; I could of course quantize, but I don’t want to. Too easy ;-) VoilĂ . If you have other remarks, please write. I’m just an amateur, so… Phil |

My pleasure…
I just uploaded the 3rd version. I think it’s less dodgy now. Hope you enjoy;-) By any chance, do you know, if I upload the very same file (same name I mean) I’d loose the comments & recommends? Thx Phil |

nice work - beautiful piano - love the atmosphere created - reminds me of some of Pentangle’s music - and that’s a good thing too.

Thank you. I don’t know Pentangle, but I’m just listening to a few of their songs (UTube). Waow! What a heritage! I don’t honestly think I deserve such a compliment, but I feel it as a very nice encouragement to continue & work harder.
And now, you instilled the venom in my brain ;-) under the form: “how much do I owe to a music style I haven’t played for ages? ” Interesting. Very interesting. BTW, I uploaded a 3rd version, still in progress/negociation though. Cheers Phil |
