Stars
Here's Bryony: An English rose, aged 22. She sang this song, her own composition "Stars" and asked if I could put a backing to it. I was so captivated by her musical talent and here's what we ended up with. Her voice, in the higher reaches, is reminiscent of Joan Baez. A Star in the making perhaps? http://www.soundclick.com...usic.cfm?bandID=739631

Wonderful singing, real feelings coming through the vocals. Really good music too. I did notice that the mix peaked in a few places.
I've also just put up a track called 'Stars'. :)

This is superb in every way, production and song. She reminds me of Amy Lee, very expressive. Hope to hear more from her and you.

She does sing very well and the mix comes across here quite well though as noted by Gus is does peak a couple of times.
Thanks for sharing.

Wow she CAME to you? I have at times looked for someone to sing like that on some of my ideas and I can't seem to beg them to do it :) The song and backing are beautiful. The recording is tops too. Bravo!

Beautiful piece and great vocal. I'm not sure of the vocal placement in the mix though. The doubling effect makes her voice feel a little unstable. Just my opinion though, so take it for what it's worth. Instrumentation is very well done and the recording is excellent.
Regards,
Dan

Thanks so much for all your feedback. Bryony is thrilled by your comments and is spurred on to produce more songs. Gus: Thank you. I've reduced the peaks Lynn: I see what you mean about Amy Lee - well spotted Wookie: Thanks and noted Starise: Yes, I was very fortunate - opportunities like this are rare and TY for your positive observations Dan: You maybe right there. I'm always trying to widen sounds and will look carefully at the vocal placement - thanks Markus: Very encouraging thank you Jude: Yes, we have some more work to do that's for sure - Thank you Bryony is fired up now! p.s. Just in case you want to see her in action here she is with the Florin Street Band singing lead vocal - well Xmas is on the way :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZYUAY6EN05Q

Good stuff! The music works real well against the vocals, nicely done on performance, arrangement and mix.
I hear the Amy Lee similarities too, mostly in the way she swells in and out of notes... great dynamics.

Chills. Man, that was gorgeous. There is a maturity to her execution that belies her tender age.
Instrumentation, mix, and production is just superb.
I love it.

Excellent work all around. Very beautiful and peaceful performance. Mix sounded balanced. The ending was a bit sudden, but that is a very minor niggle.
