I don´t know what would be the exact genre... Your definition "romantic sad instrumental" is pretty close I think. Other than the "hip-hoppish" drums there, it´s something like "lightly melancholic guitar/piano instrumental"

And ME? I thought it was JUST starting to get interesting when the drums joined in. Granted, they are WAY too prominent, but that's when i thought it started to come to life, and then boom...it was over. This should be either a 2 minute piece to enjoy the groove a little longer, or let the drums come in much sooner. Either way, I really DO like the guitar melody you've got going here.Nothing but my $00.02.

Ok ok ok, you twisted my arm, I will extend the track and give it a more natural ending rather than cutting it short...please explain when you say that the drums were too prominent? Do you mean they are to loud etc?yeah I just thought that the Hip-Hop-ish drums would give it character, rather than the NORMAL drum sound you'd expect, but your guys ideas mean a lot, so I will re-consider that perspective and try standard drum sounds (hoping to get Fxpansion BFD2 soon).Thank you sooooooo much for your views and opinions, they really do help!You all rock!!!!

hi Aimusic,Love your music there, In my head I can hear some melodic lines maybe for vocals.I think this tune can be both as an instrumental piece and also as a full song with lyrics.To me it sounds more like soundtrack tune though, a good one. Ponch

Hey Ponch,Thank you! Yeah maybe I'll write two versions, one instrumental track and the other with vox etc... Just busy organising stuff to move into a new apartment, so will be a bit of time before I get my little hands (big hands rather - I'm 6ft 5, but you get the point) on my production unit....Thank you for the input!

You dropped us off a cliff there by ending without resolution.Get ye back to thine instruments and bring forth more!! Best,Cisco
