Celtic Composition- Far From Home

I appreciate any comments or suggestions on this. I heard a few small things "stepping " on one another in small places. Any other suggestions welcome and thanks for listening!

    Tim, that is so nice - very soothing - and the mix is so rich and clear.
     
    Love it.

    Nice job Tim!  I don't know much about Celtic music, but it seems perfectly mixed to me on my little computer speakers.

    Cheers!

    Very pretty, Tim.  I don't know if this music (celtic) doesn't use bass in its composition but there were a couple spots where I heard that really deep synth you guys use.  However, as it stands, it's just beautiful.  I am going to England, Ireland and Scotland in the near future to explore my roots (actually just for fun) and I'm sure I'll hear a lot of this music. I've listened 3 times now and like it more each time.

    Philz- Thanks Phil!
     
    Mark- Thanks for listening! I had hoped it wouldhave a relaxing effect.
     
    Tony- I appreciate your comments and listen!
     
    Warren- Yes someone else commented about adding some bass...I'll try experimenting a little when I can. I appreciate you listening and I hope you have fun over there. I went last year and it was a great trip!They tend to play more of the "jigs" in the bars and I'm thinking you might visit one of those while you're there ;) Irish jigs a a little faster and in 6/8 usually.Thanks for listening!

    This has a very Celtic/West Country folk feel you have done a nice job of this Tim.

    Tim, this is special.  It flows like water and shows off your superb skills, creating melodies being one of the best.  I've listened to you for a few years, now, and your versatility is amazing.  Keep em coming, old buddy.

    All the best,
    Lynn

    Superbly crafted and performed composition. Extraordinarily well done!
     
    There's one or two short squeals of string noise (guitar), its okay I suppose, can be tamed but that's your call.

    Sounds really good here...    What I really liked was the arrangement and choice of instrumentation.  It just worked well for me and seems real "solid".
     
    Really, the only critique I would have are those string squeaks around 1:55 and 2:00.

    This is a beautiful number with a really great arrangement, mix, and playing.  Oh ya, it definitely has a Celtic feel.
    Great job Tim.
