Very good Greg. To my opinion, it is the most elaborate and accomplished piece I've heard in your SoudCloud so far. (for the moment, I didn't listen to all of them).

I've got one question : do you use Karma in your compositons ?

Have to agree with Liviou regarding Mister Smoothy. Definitely a good piece.

I use Karma to help songs. Often I have to chop/edit the GE's so it takes work and find GE's that are interesting.

Here is a song I composed 1 year ago. I use a touch of Karma at 4:29
on bass guitar- it adds a ' popcorn' type effect:

Thank you for the kind words on Mister Smoothy. I enjoyed it, and had lots of fun using the 'ooooohs' and 'ahhhhhs'. I try to be careful using the vocal programs.

I appreciate hearing from musicians. Been at it for 2 years, on SoundCloud , committed to my approach.

In the past few months, my songs are getting reposted by listeners and gathering more interest.

Love this one. I do appreciate this heavy tempo and the Bass/Drums duo...a kind of conquest, in a sense !

I no longer have my Kronos but I miss her.

I've been messing with other gear but I'm waiting for the next Korg Workstation.

thank you, brother ! I had a lot of fun creating Nuclear Moon.

aggressive and/or louder rhythms [ drums + bass] seems to be standard these days, at least on SoundCloud. Most of my recordings contain what I consider a strong rhythm section.

Hi there everybody! It's good to see and hear all the music pouring out of people's hearts and minds.
I'd been listening to a bunch of Pink Floyd a few weeks ago and decided to try and write something in their style. I tried to do my best David Gilmour impression and although I'm seriously lacking in the British accent department, I think I got close phrasing wise. Well, maybe not in the same ballpark but at least in the same county. :wink:
One of my favourite keyboard players has always been Richard Wright, RIP.
I think I did a nice tip of the hat to him in this as well as a nod to David's guitar work and Nick Mason's drumming. Roger Waters would probably disapprove of my choice bass tones and notes but, well, you can;t please everybody.
Hope you like it. Feel free to share it with anybody and please leave a comment if you like.

Hi there. Thank you for listening and enjoying my new song. I would have got back to you sooner but I was out of town at a Styx concert. They were great BTW.
Kronos sounds that I used. At the beginning I'm using an F.McComb MArk 1 ep sound. I really like the Fender Rhodes sounds in the Kronos. I've got a choir sound, a Hammond sound that I bought from Organimation, the Timpani Ordhestra sound, and also a string sound.
All guitars and the bass are real instruments. That's me singing. I finger drum the drum parts by tapping on my Korg Nanopad 2. I use drum sounds that I've adjusted in my Cubase 10 Pro DAW. The Lap Steel Guitar in the beginning is my newest acquisition. I've only had it for
a couple of weeks. The acoustic guitar is my Martin that my wife bought me a couple of years ago for my birthday. I use amp sims for electric guitars and the bass.
Glad you enjoyed my song and please feel free to share it with your friends.

Nice piece jeremy....Congratulations....Very nice "ambient"

I have a technical comment: I think the "mastering compressor" is too HEAVY...The overall sound is too compressed
