Not sure what to make of it.

Not your normal stuff, Frank, but I found it relaxing to listen to. This one gets a  :icon_thumright: .

Do not listen and drive, Robert!

Oh. Is that why I ran through that stop light back there?

:sad:

I like it - it's got a nice balance of atmosphere and intensity, but I think the intensity could be pulled a little bit more forward out of the background.  The instrumentation choices were nice - I really like how the strings and guitar track each other so closely, and for some reason I really love that super-loose snare you used.

Hey, thanks for the critical feedback. I do love a looser snare sound more times than not. Not always appropriate, I guess, but hey that’s music! I’m worried the bass may be a bit muddy. I’m still learning the new monitors and the room. Bass is the hardest thing for me to mix so far.

I like it Frank.

For some reason, I could not help thinking of Tarja Turunen listening to it.

I just looked her up. Will check out her music. Thanks!

I just put a couple of videos in the Post What you are listening to thread.

Good job on this one. A very relaxing piece. I have started following you on Soundcloud.

(OT - somehow the last couple of times I wasn't able to see the Soundcloud links here on this forum. But now it seems to work).
