For the listing: NEW AGE INSTRUMENTALS that are relaxing, melodic and not too dark are needed ... fantastic New Age Instrumentals for a comp CD that will be marketed and distributed to European Wellness Hotels.The "Swan" ...http://www.taximusic.com/download/19595 ... e_.mp3This tune, based on a disassembled 10-year old smooth jazz theme was actually more an experiment with my new EWQLSO Gold and I figured I had overshot the mark with too much dynamics and my ever-unavoidable jazz influences. But it was forwarded, and I'm ...well, jazzed! PS. And yes, like most my tunes .. "Swan" is an funny twist on a girls name, Xuan. She's long gone, but the tune lives on!

Cool tune Stanley! I like the mix, too. Soundin good on my headphones. Congratz!

When the gentle repetiting phrases reache a nice fulfilling stage you brilliantly break away to a satisfying new phrase at 1:14 and 3:02. The playful way you pull in new instruments here and there really sweetens the experience. Great guitar tone too, buddy! There's so much to compliment you for here!Good luck getting a deal on this one!Allen

LOVE IT! Ha ha, couldnt imagine you doing new age, but it works.So, who was Meja? Enquiring minds want to know!

Stan,Enjoyed your track.I hear a little of Chuck Mangione's orchestral vibe and feel. (this is a good thing)Personally, I don't think having "ever-unavoidable jazz influences" is a bad thing. It's kind of like owning "too many" guitars. How can it be bad. Hope you develop more stuff like this.Chuck

Yes Stan,Congratulations on the forward. This was a very enjoyable listen. I think Chuck is right as I am also hearing a little of the Chuck Mangione influence. And like so many others here I personally like the jazz influence. Great selection of sounds too.Kurt

Right on, Stanthis tune can multi task for ya!

Stan!! Great tune you have hear...it sounds awesome to me!Congrats on this forward, and here's to a new thread: "I LOVE WHEN THAT HAPPENS!"
