Aleppo

The dark mood I entered into in the latter half of 2016 has proved productive. This is the second track drawing on that energy, there a couple more in the pipeline.
 
The siege of Aleppo was horrific by any standards. I have some fond memories of the time I was in Syria and its devastating to see what has happened there.

    wow - this is epic. The mix between traditional instruments/sounds and synth are really cool - love the big percussive sounds

    Wow!!!!  This is not the kind of music that I am drawn to but I must admit that this one sucked me right in.  It has a wonderful big-sky, cinematic sound to it.  It doesn't have lyrics to it but it certainly creates a mood.  Well done --- very creative.

    That's cool stuff Glyn, very powerful. Really like that Storm Drum and the Emerson-like organ.

    I am hearing Fripp, Bruford, Emerson which is all good in my book.

    Cool stuff Glyn

    That's very creative. I can hear the boots marching. Any altiverb going on? That overdriven organ is pretty tasty.
     
    Mix wise, I think the higher end could shine a little more, eq-wise. Just a little, maybe bring the snare up a little louder?
     
    cheers,

    This is one of the best things I've heard in a while.  It's haunting and thought provoking and gives one a sense of impending doom.  This should be used in a documentary and given an Oscar!

    All the best,
    Lynn

    I've not been checking out the songs forum as much lately and I "stumbled" across this while listening to Wookiee's new tune.
     
    You certainly have a knack capturing some of that old prog vibe.
     
    cheers

    Yeah, that was pretty cool...    the juxtaposition of rock guitar/organ/drums with the more "world" feel of the vocals and percussion works well.   At times it almost seemed to have a Middle Eastern version of a Native American war chant vibe.
