Hi IG88, You've got some good ideas in this piece. It has a laid-back new-age feel to it. The strings let it down as they sound too synthy. They cut off to abruptly at times. Do you have live guitar in this? When the guitar starts, it's not in tune, so that needs fixing for sure. Personally, I like the 3rd minute of this piece the most. It breaks away from the pattern more. Perhaps consider doing that earlier?HTHGeorgie

hi IG88... yes, it's been awhile... I'm typing as I listen...1st part... the strings sound a little dry, U might wanna slight reverb it.I'm loving the glitch sounding electro drum sounds... definitely loving the nylon guitars...I imagine it to be really cool to have a high ghostly female vocals at the background... very nice mid section break...I love the gliding synth after that...I love this song... it's going into my favorite Taxi members music folder. I'm serious whenever I tell Ppl this... I immediately put the song in my folder for my listening pleasure...Try ta fix the strings in the first part... then I can re-dl to listen k?Thanks for always coming up with such Beautiful Trippy tracks... I really enjoy.-Kel

I will just scrap the strings and start anew, maybe use a synth pad to build the emotion instead. Yes it is live guitar, did you mean the guitar itself is out of tune or the melody does not work? Im glad you like the build up but i wanted it to start slow and then explode like that. Your feedback helps a lot i am working on it now.

I agree with the strings sounding too synthy dry, i am gonna toss them out and maybe use a pad to build emotion instead. Its not a nylon guitar its just a beat up acoustic I have. I am flattered that you dig my stuff so much (at least someone on here does haha) I will fix this up and re post. Thank you so much for you time it helps a lot.IG88
