Thanks, Teru. That word “tumultuously”, with the little pause, really makes the spoken word work for me.

I think your sung piece really added a lot to this, so I tried to flesh it out a bit. I’m not sure I did as much as the elements permitted, but it was sure fun to try.

It was fun to put a beat on, and fun that a beat near the right bpm was on the board, that I could tweak a bit and then use.

This generation is very busy, when my first take on this song was that it should be very minimal. I wanted to flesh out the vocal a bit, but it may all compete as you suggest.

Thanks, although I think you’re too kind about my “mixsheen”. I master in Magix Audio 10, which has lots of good shortcut mastering aids.

Thanks. I appreciated, and perhaps agreed with Victor’s point, but still enjoy the mix (and will note the learning gained for future mixes).

I don’t often use percussion but it’s always a little fun to time-shift beats to make them fit.

I’ve been working on a lot of mixes and songs for non-mixter projects lately that are a bit more off the beaten track, so it’s fun to do something more straight-up here this time.

Thanks for the review. With hindsight, I would revise this one to make the field recording fade in and out to help the piece keep a coherence. It’s fun to use drums—although it’s like gambling, something I don’t believe in, really,but which sometimes yet causs me to put a nickel in the slot.

In fact, so lovely, that I closed the latest episode of The Mixin’ Kitchen with this piece. Thank you.
