Nice build. Clean, not boring and very collaborative.

I dig it.
There is a clarity in there I like very much. Also - can’t help myself - it sounds so KaraSquary ;-).
Nice work on the horn sample.

Thanks, Seb. I guess I have a style then. :)

Yes.
There is at least a unique pattern…

Somehow reminiscent of the Polish punk-rock scene of the 80s. Takes me back to my teen years when I witnessed a punk festival in Jarocin while spending vacations at my grandma’s home.

You’ve created a soundtrack that reminds me of so many of the great 80 shows I used to watch as a child growing up. Great memories! Well done!

How cool! Thank you for sharing! It’s funny… I hadn’t thought it sounded 80s until your comment… you’re right!

I like the way you meld these samples into a song. In particular, the way the trumpet samples have been altered to make them fit in with the melody really makes for a good listen. Well done.

Thanks, Scomber! It needed something unexpected, so I was happy when that idea sprung up! :)

I love your mix Kara! The journey you created with sound fills my imagination with post-modern images and anticipation. There is tension but it is light and captivating at the same time. Theatrical!

I agree with the other reviewers, You do have a signature style , and it’s amazing to hear it develop and morph into new territory. I’m grateful to be a part of it. Glad you were assigned me :-)

I’m so happy you love it, Jason. This was so fun. Honestly, it was one of the easiest, most intuitive Secret mixes I’ve done. I think our styles are a natural fit.

what an incredible coincidence Kara!! i was going to ask, who played the trumpet (that once was yours and now is his lol)!! i am really appreciating the intricacy of your editing and arrangement — your production skills just keep growing more and more. your rock girl!!! this track is a cooperative, inspiring blend of you and SM. great work!!!!

Thank you so much, Emily! You are so kind and supportive!

I have a new production secret… Ozone 7 Elements. It’s a mastering plug-in. Super easy to use. Definitely not true mastering, but hella better than I can do on my own. I could use it for ccM albums and make them sound even better (which was on my mind when I bought it)!

Very distinctive, your sense of rhythm is both spot on and unique. You use pauses cleverly and with purpose. I love the fun evident in this tune, I sense you had a blast trying things out and experimenting.
Technical too but to achieve the mood and feel you already had in mind.

Thank you for your in-depth review, QS! I really did have a blast… I’ve been trying to fully embrace experimentation and I’m glad it ended up working!
