I don’t know why this makes me think of Zorro getting ready to ride off into the Baja California desert. :)

I like the way it starts so gentle and then turns into - briefly - a cacophony of strings and horns. And the piano bit at the end is virtuoso if I may say!

Lol, the first thing I thought of was Antonio Banderas, but for some reason I didn’t think of Zorro. I should have, that’s been my nickname before.

Wow, you really turned up the energy on that middle bit! Well done. The strings, horns, and percussion are great!

It’s funny… when I sat down to record the guitar I wasn’t thinking in terms of song structure or anything, I just kinda started playing. I was pretty sure that bits and pieces of what I recorded could be useful, but I didn’t think anyone would be crazy enough to try to use it as-is as a complete track. Nice job proving me wrong. :)

Thanks. I think it needs to be a little more balanced. Seems like it’s too much on the right and nothing sitting on the left. I’ll fix that when I get home. Yeah usually with something that’s as free form as this to begin with it’s best to keep it that way. I think I did the same with that other sort of classical thing you did that ended up in that archeology video. Anyway, it’s a great flamenco sample. I threw in some flamenco tap samples but took them out because it was too busy.

OK I’m putting the flamenco tap back in, but fading it in and out. And I think the stereo image is a little more balanced now.

Really really nice. Makes me think of Pedro Almodovar movies with spanish heat and mad women. It’s cinematic for sure.
