This sounds good on my Surface Pro 4 speakers so no complaint about the mix. Loved the way the synths interweaved with the guitar parts, great track.
Thanks Adrian! Regards, Dan

I'm going to start coming into this forum if this is the sort of thing you get to hear. I really enjoyed listening to it, a real pleasure, well done Dan.

Dan,
Very epic track. Has a real Top Gun vibe, throw a Steve Steevens solo over the top and you are there:) Mix is great too.
Regards
Thanks Mark! Always wanted to learn to solo like that, just never had the time to do it. Probably not going to happen at this point, lol. Regards, Dan

As always, amazing stuff. I love pieces like this that unfold along a path that is impossible to predict in advance. I agree that it would make a great soundtrack for something dynamic like an air show. Have you explored synch licensing? Alternatively, you might directly contact independent film producers that you like and see if they have interest. I think some of the time lapse producers on Vimeo would be good candidates. Here's an example: https://vimeo.com/94923911 Really, the music stands on its own, but it might be mind-blowing with visuals behind it.

Hi Dan,
I really enjoyed this piece. It was gentle, yet persistent and satisfyingly deep. The chord changes were lovely and the anticipatory builds to coming sections were super.
Thanks for the lovely listen,
LJ

Thank you! No, I haven't explored any commercial options, mostly because it isn't really something I want to do. This is one of my hobbies and I do it for myself. If anyone else is entertained by it, that's a bonus, lol. Regards, Dan

In a word... professional. Composition, arrangement and mix. Seriously, I could see you doing this type of thing on a professional basis, it's just that good, IMO.

This is nice, Dan. I love how it builds and fill out as it goes and comes together towards the middle. Beautiful arrangement. Very pleasant to partake in.
BTW-to FreeEarcandy-I live in the Reading PA area and we used to average one air show a year, but for some unexplained reason there hasn't been one here in quite a few years. I miss them. It was either the Angels or the Thunderbirds among other daredevil types of acts. They do manage to put together an occasional War Planes exhibit about every other year, which is pretty interesting.
Didn't mean to hijack, Dan. I just saw the Reading PA (airshow) reference and had to comment.

Hi Dan,
Something like british progressive in this track.
Then comes a kind of a dance mood,
Cool...Brings me back to my teenage years ..
Definitly something british in this track despite the" dance" beat.
Thanks for this nice time spent.
Cheers.
Olivier.

I haven't heard much of your music honestly, but I am truly impressed! It's not my genre or field, but I can hear the expression and the feelings/thoughts or I should say implied situational sounds. WOW! This is really great!!!! For me, music is not a contest, it's about having a vision and bringing that vision to others through the art of music in however way you can do it, and you not doubt have done that with this tune. Very creative!
I enjoyed hearing this!!!
