Northern Lights New Piece

Now for something a bit more soothing. We have all heard of or have seen the northern lights. I often wondered what kind of music they would sound like if they could make music with all their glimmerings. So, my quest was to make music for them in this piece. I hope you will enjoy the sounds of the "Northern Lights". All comments are always welcomed, as usual.

    Balanced out the EQ on this, sounds better.

    I'm on vacation in Missouri and seems many may have missed this piece, due to the lack of comments. Although there are no Northern Lights here at night, the sky does light up with plenty of electrical storms and they are spectacular. I played this song one night during a storm and what a trip that was, watching the lights flashing and listening to this piece. Give it a try during your next stormy lightening night in your area. Should be back to Florida sometime next week and I will try and catch up on my responses to all of your songs and musical arrangements. Enjoy!! John

    You were kind enough to leave me some encouraging comments on my start up pieces, so when I came across this post I listened to your piece and it works, its awesum! Music is meant to send the mind to a better place whether your jiving, slumming, or just want to drift off to where the music takes you. I like the complexity and different directions in this piece, and as a beginner struggling with mixing, I was blown away with the clarity, richness of the sound.  I can't play that good, so to offset I use very simple lead pieces, but if I can achieve that clarity, professional studio sound like yours on the rest of the tracks I believe I might slide some stuff past some of the critics anyway. At anyrate its just fun creating stuff. So thanks for the inspiration. captg

    CaptG, Thank for the listen and your comments and compliments. Believe me I know exactly where you are coming from on being a newbee and you just have to keep plucking away and trying out new software and equipment until it works for you. It truly is in the ears that listen, as to where the music takes you. Thanks again.

    I am back from my 6 weeks of vacation and enjoyed the time with my brother. I will start responding to all of your songs very shortly. Looks like everyone has been quite busy posted new material. Sure have my work cut out for me as to all the responses.

    I'm from the south, and we typically don't take kindly to things from the north... But I liked this, and it seemed to flow better than some others in the past. It seemed more like a song than many different songs, which is a good thing. I would say your best to date.

    This piece is going for a top 100 on SoundClick and  so maybe everyone could have another listen to help it get there. By the way, if anyone wants to get an awesome digital synth module, try East West/Quantum Leaps Vapor Synth Module, it is a good synth module for creating great synth sounds and I'm sure you will enjoy using it with your keyboards. It also has an on screen keyboard built into it for playing the synth as well.

    John, that was very cinematic and vivid.  I never know what to expect from you, and that may be your greatest strength.  Keep up the stellar work.

    Another home run John.  This is an excellent piece.  It is indeed cinematic.  I can't wait for the movie to come out so it can be linked up with this number  ;>)

    Lynn, Thanks for the listen and for the nice compliment, they are much appreciated. I do have a tendency to mix it up a bit. I like to tell stories with music more than words. Thanks for your time.
