River's Edge

I was asked by a local horse farm if I could do a piece of music for their equestrian web site. It's not exactly an SMB tune/style, but, James was kind enough to play along and humor me...so here it is..short and a bit repetitive, and different for us..
 
James: Electric guitar
 
Me: The rest

Nice and smooth. I like the distance on the tambo. And the understated drums and percussion. Nice job on the bass. And the recording of the guitars was very nice. Overall I think the mix is what you were going for, a nice ambient track. 

Horse farm , hey man where are the horse sounds ! Just kidding but I liked it .
I liked the brush sounds in your drum track , gives it more of that laid back feeling .

Nice one ! Radio

 

Great groove guys. 

You caught the cool comfy vibe nice stuff no crits here.

Thanks for sharing.

Sounds great.  Nicely mixed and laid back.  I like that two different guitar tones..  The fist one single coil, and second humbucker??

James - Oh yeah..them horses do make all sorts of sounds!! Thanks much for listening and commenting!

Cian - Thanks You!

Tim - Thank You!

Even when you don't try it sounds great.   I hate that.

I can see her hair blowing in the wind as she hangs on, arms around your waist,  galloping in the setting sun across the pastoral rush hour streets of Hartford......

Larry, why were you 'resting' while James did the playing?

Scotty - Appreciate it!

John - Thank you very much!

Paulo - Glad it relaxed you!!

Geno - Thanks for listening! The first guitar lead was a Taylor acoustic DI'd and Les Paul on the 2nd part.

Wonderful, man ! Simply wonderful and a bit off your beaten path.  Lovely little tune which can get inside your head and make you want to just go for a ride, perhaps on Mc Guinn's Chestnut mare? I'm gonna catch that horse if I can ...
Listening again...

The synth patches are perfect! Well choosen and played. Really nice guitar, bass and drum sounds as well.
Sounds like a clip of America doing a Wings song or perhaps visa-versa.

Great soothing sound, made me want to laydown and look at the night sky with a nice cup of coffee. Nice mellow guitar work Larry. You doing keyboards now James. Great mix and sound.

John

Rik - Very nice comment! Thanks!!

Rick - So..you've been thru Hartford during rush hour?? The appropriate scene would be me holding onto the horse with a death grip while my wife was shouting obscentities at me...  As far as the 'rest' is concerned...I'm lazy. Thanks for listening.

Dave - I don't mind the horses, but, I'm limlited to pony rides...  SGB sounds good too!! Is there such a thing as a slow gallup?? We're glad that yer glad!!

Mark - Not familiar with the poem, but that was nice! Who is the author? Thanks for listening!! 

James-   Thanks for the really nice comments!! We appreciate it. Glad you liked the synth patches too. I had just gotten Alchemy and was noodling around with the sounds and things kinda fell into place.

Kev - Many thanks man!! We always worry a little when having to step outside the norm, so your comments gives confidence.

Nice job, gentlemen.

It doesn't necessarily sound like most of your stuff but
it does sound like you!

Very soothing and serene...unlike most of my experiences with horses

Well done, as always.

John - Hey! Nice to see you poking your head in these forums once again! I hope all is ok on your side of life! thanks fer the listen and comments!

Vicente- We couldn't go longer than 2:36 as we were running out of notes... Thank you!!

Phil - Thanks very much. To be honest..don't really have any clients (especially the paying kind) and the place we did this for still hasn't responded to me, but it still was fun to make!

Mark - Well..stoopid me!! They do run that Father Ted sitcom over in the States on one of the PBS stations from time to time. And here I thought you were getting all teary-eyed 'n such. Please don't tell me I was an adopted child.....
