Thank you, Warren, for the kind remarks.  It's fun to pull a surprise out of my hat, once in a while.  Don't be surprised if I do this again because I have several more videos just lying around waiting for something to happen.

Hi Janet, it was a cool trip.  Part of it was taken on a float trip on the Buffalo River in Arkansas.  Thanks for stopping by and the kind words.

Thanks for having a listen, Scott.  I appreciate the comments.

 Wow so many timbres and tones... loved this!!

Boomin36, thanks for the kind words.  What I think you're referring to is the phased string pad at the point where the piano comes in.  Good ears for hearing that.

ohgrant, I'm happy you appreciate my use of textures.  When you're not a world class musician, this helps to convey a mood.

bapu, you should stay busy with your projects because they rock!  I'm very glad you like this.  It was my pleasure.

Daryl, I take that in the best possible way.  I find unpredictability to be more rare, all the time.  Thanks for the compliment and stopping by.

It sounded really thin. Some of the synth tones came across as sounded a bit cheesey. It may help if you could fatten them up a little. Removing the cat from your synth may help too. It did have a nice rhythm though, upbeat.
 
 

Very good work...sounds like pro level recording to me.  I have also floated down the Buffalo before. I have a sister in law that lives in Mountain home, AR...it's just a short drive away. A few weeks ago we went to Dawt Mill in Missouri. You should check it out sometime, it's a nice place. Who knows what songs may come!

Lynn,
 
It sounds good, I like your choices of texture and layers.   It is an interesting composition.   Good mix, I don't hear any distortion although I am listening on my laptop so maybe it just isn't coming across.  
 
 
Regards

Sounds great Lynn but the drum track sounds a bit whimpy for my taste .
I really liked everything else in the music , nice job !

Cheers!
James

James, thanks for your input and for stopping in.  Sorry about the drums, but I didn't want to overwhelm the synths with a heavy drum beat, especially since this wasn't meant for the dance floor, but rather, a video clip of some expert canoeing.

Starise, I appreciate your comments very much and thanks for taking the time to listen.

Great stuff! Put me in a nice trance, then as it began to move to other areas around 1:20 onwards, it just became this journey :) Very visual.

Hi Lynn, well that was quite a journey, not really my cuppa but it kept my interest. I kept waiting for the Hooks but heard none. The Genre Instrumental with Hooks means there are short Vocal Passages in the song called Hooks. You may want to just call this an Instrumental.

Very cool Lynn! I love an instrumental that has a 'chorus' and keeps the interest right through, you achieved that perfectly here.

Nice choice of sounds too, all blending well to my ears. I agree with you about the drums, they have momentum without becoming the focus.

Interestingly, we (SMB) also had some music featured on a video about a canoe trip down the Buffalo River last year.

Very nice Lynn. Sounds more like Jean Michel Jarre to me than Enigma. Either way, awesome track, loved it!
 
Mick.
