Just trying.....(slightly edited)

Very nice song.  Moody and lyrical.
 
On my speakers the rain effect sounds more like static. : (
 
But good song.

quiet and enchanting, very nice mood!  I like the blue notes in the piano melody.  thanks for comments

I like this Kane - nice and mysterious - I was listening on crappy speakers so will not comment on the mix and rain thing - I'll have another listen later

I thought the rain was static as well. Move it back and give it some reverb and some rumbles of thunder here and there.
 
Nice work!

Thanks for the listen Mike.  Could have been better but I dared to try this one out of my inclination for theme oriented soundtracks. Thanks for your comments.

Thanks...Yeah I know the rain effect is sounding like static...tried to tweak it but that did not help much....

This reminds me of a George Winston piece, moody and introspective, it's very nice. You know, I get what you're trying to accomplish with the rain sounds but it does sound like static more than anything else. Have you considered just letting the music speak for itself? :)

Kevin, thanks for the listen and your comments. The rain part was deliberate but I guess I could not make it sound as I wanted. I did listen to George Winston's Winter. Its really beautiful and inspiring.

Lovely piece. Ear candy. I'd vote for loose the static, rain too though.  

Grant, thanks for the listen and your feedback. I did give it a couple of hear muting the rain track but it felt like a bit incomplete and deviation from what I thought about it to be at the outset. But I guess I could not make it sound as I wanted.

Nice work!

Robert, thanks for the listen and your feedback to make it sound better. I did think of adding some mild thunder effects. Will look out for some.

that's a moody piano noodle! nice combo with the guitar arpeggiator.
 
perhaps it was raining in 8 bit that day? :) there are so many high quality samples of rain out there, just find one and drop it on in! freesound.org or soundbible.com might help you out.
 
cheers,

8 bit rain... LOL.........Tom, thanks for the listen and your feedback...will check out the links...

Very nice, moody piece. Mysterious and beautiful at the same time.
 
+1 on the rain. It does sound kind of like static. Perhaps a different sample and place back in the sound stage?
 
Nice job though!

David, thanks for the listen and your feedback. I've posted a slightly edited version as an attempt to take care of the rain part. New edited version:

Good one Kane! Like the moody feeling with the oriental harmonics, reminds me of Gollums song.

Very nice Kane.....enjoyed the melody and it does fit well for a mystery movie soundtrack. The end just cuts off.....might be good to have a nice loooooong fade on this.
Well done on the tune!! 

Mesh, thanks for the listen and your comments and feedback. The only reason I did not use a fade out end as I thought it would have given the track a 'resolved' end to its storyline, So, I left it a little abrupt and unexplained.

Kane

Ahhh, I see (said the blind man....) in that case, it works well!!



Which synths did you use on this?
 

The basic synth is dry piano with a bit of extra brightness and some greasy effects.
 
Thanks and Regards,
Kane

Steve, thanks for the listen and your comments and feedback. I thought of giving it a 'raining outside' effect with some verb effects but I guess I was a little obsessed with the idea of dragging the subject out of that imaginary ill-lighted small coffee shop and make him walk down the dark street For the piano part, I did use some greasy effects to make it sound a little flat. Your points noted.
 
Thanks and Regards,
Kane
