My Backyard ** Mellowed without Hiss??? **

Hi all,
 It's been a while since I've posted something. This one was inspired by the sounds that I recorded in my backyard. This is an original acoustic Jazz tune which is long but very relaxing to listen to.  Thanks in advance for your time and comments.

**** Remixed and added a Sax *****

My Backyard

Baby got backyard, you have a nasty snake in that backyard, I can hear it hissing. 

Hi James , I like this, it took a couple of listens but I like it. That hiss is pretty annoying and the wildlife could be a bit softer imho. Like the free approach to the guitars, inspiring.

Greetings, Rik

 This was a very interesting listen.  Very original. I really like the guitar playing.

Great work!

All,
    Thanks for the listen and comments. This started out as a simple recording of some nature sounds that I recorded on my voice recorder. The song started taking shape when I sat down to the piano (controller) and started to improvise to the noise. I really wanted to record my new guitar, which came out pretty well and then added a bass part. I really hadn't intended to do much with this, except experiment.

Geno - Thanks for the listen and comments. Yeah, the backyard was quite noisy when I recorded it.
Robby - No Snakes were harmed in the recording.
Rick - I'll have to try to keep the Snakes at Bay. I'll try a remix tonight.
Rik - Thanks for listening and commenting. I'll see what I can do about the ambiance.
Bert - Thanks for the listen as well. I've never been compared to Bill Frizzel and that certainly is a great compliment. I should listen to more of his stuff.
G-Bob - Glad you enjoyed the guitar playing. The song was unplanned and very free form. I like to play spontaneously at times.
Phil - Thanks for taking the time to listen and comment. I'll revisit the hisses.

O.K. I've mixed up a new version ... Tamed the Snakes and added a Sax.   Relax and Enjoy .

  Cool soundscape, Tap! A real musical hissy fit! 

Sort of like some of the experimental jazz of the 70's (****es Brew) .  Certainly not my cup of tea, but the track is well done and mixed.  Smooth and ambient.

Very cool.  The guitars are recorded very well.

hiss is bad, the music is very cool, improvy feel.

Cool & Interesting Tap!

Dan

Maybe you've posted a new mix, but I don't hear the hissing.  I hear crickets. :-)  Interesting concept and nice to listen to.  It was not relaxing to me.  That's cool, though.  I am just saying that because you said it is.  One person's relaxation is another's , well not relaxation.  too much going on at once for me to relax.  :-)  The player just stopped dead on me and I can't get it started again.  Hmmmm.   I haven't herd sax yet.  I'll try again.

Thanks for the listen Dan, glad you enjoyed it.
Bob, it's always an honor to have you listen to my stuff, my former Pennsylvanian neighbor.

I'd also like to thank SoundClick for leaving Warren with nothing but crickets at his first attempt. Thanks for your patience Warren. I added the Sax just for relaxation

Sounds like the 13-year cicadas are in your backyard too. lol  This is what I've heard all day long for the past week...and they're supposed to be around till the beginning of July.  Anyway, this does sound like a backyard mesh of sounds...pretty interesting and great playing! 

About 30 seconds into the song, I closed my eyes and just focused on listening. You've captured this live setting of jazz musicians, sitting/playing outside around the mics. 'peepers' and all! Kudos on all the guitar and sax work, but the light drumming and the bass was solid, yet had it's own improv thing going on as well. I have to listen to this a few times as there are soo many subtle/interwoven parts being played.  Instruments are clean and detailed and the song works for me!
