That's very cool. The strings are so impressive. How do you even compose this stuff?

The drums are nice. Any of this in FlStudio?

The nice guitar has a cool tone to it.

I agree - the strings are fabulous. The synth sound around 1:45 is pretty cool too. Kind of a "breathing" synth sound in there. The percussion is very lively and the stereo spread on it works really well....

Very cool..... For a few minutes I forgot about the six inches of snow outside.....

Way cool, DK. Who played the acoustic?

 

[DavidK]

Thanks for listening Nicole, BB, Gerry ,Dachay

Ancient Chinese secret

Everything not real is a Korg X50. Very impressive machine. There are 11 actual humans on this: 7 violinists, 3 cellists and 1 guitarist.

Who played the acoustic?

My buddy, he does lots of broadway gigs, excellent player.

Excellent playing - that's some ensemble you were able to assemble (sorry re the pun).
It's Carribean meets orthodox Russian with a touch of Espanole.
Great tone on the celli, what did you use to capture them?
You're white hot at present david - fecund & febrile even?

 

[DavidK]

thanks Ray.

Excellent playing - that's some ensemble you were able to assemble (sorry re the pun).

Yeah, they are all my friends and play in the opera with me. It was a great experience not only to have players of this level, but each one of them means something to me personally, they are great players and great folks.

Great tone on the celli, what did you use to capture them

I used the engineer for the Cleveland Orchestra. He used Schoepps mics for the strings. We recorded the strings here recording studio

Its much better than an mxl in my living room.

Thanks for listening Kramer, Chazba and Supercreep.

There is a jazz trumpet missing from this. It will be on the final track when it comes out. The guy is a monster, it completely gives the track a different feel, less "smooth jazz" and more virtuousic.

David

Excellent song , fine job on strings, usual on your other tunes too.

At least to my taste , guitar is a little "thin", but well played too.
