Fivos/ Celtic Starise Collaboration

Fivos well known is a pianist from Greece. He had an idea for a song called " Upside Down"
According to him he got the song in a dream.
I added additional piano in places, bouzouki, guitar and pads. He left a lot of room for additional parts, so I took advantage of that and added where it seemed to fit best.
It was a pleasure working with Fivos.

    This is wonderful Tim. Really like it.
    A couple of times the piano got a little lost in the mix.

    Beautiful.  That's all I can say.  Well, of course I'll say more :)  -- The chord changes and the instrumentation are very creative and pleasing -- I listened to a few other of your pieces and was similarly impressed.  The mixes are wonderful.  Good good work -- and a good listen.  btw, I'm impressed with the large following you have on Soundcloud -- it must be great to have so many fans :)

    Yeah, it's a great blend of piano and you.     IMO it doesn'necessarily sound as though they were at all done separately, which I suppose is the idea!
     
    About he mix though... it seems very centered, almost mono.   Was that intentional?

    Daryl- Thanks! After another listen I can hear some of the piano parts I added being a bit weak. I'll try and correct that. Thank you for pointing that out!
     
    Allan- Thank you for taking the time to listen and comment! I'm glad to hear that you like what I'm doing. It is good to have people who support what I do on SC . I  try to listen to followers music as well. I make it a point to give attention to those closer followers who keep some kind of a connection.
     
    Wookie- Thanks for listening man! Much appreciated!
     
    SteveC- Thanks! It wasn't intentional to loose the stereo image. I recorded a lot of parts in dual mono and panned them which usually gives a feeling of space. I did keep the panning closer to the center. Maybe I should move some of the parts more in the image. I admit I didn't put as much time into this mix as some others. I'm learning violin and that's taking a bunch of my time after work now.

    This is a nice journey. Well done!
     
    The mix is mono? My only crit.

    Notation, the original DAW. Everything else is just rote. We are who we are and no more than another. Humans, you people are crazy.
