The Inner Voice (Alternate version now available)

Here is a little something that found its way to the end of my furry paws.

The Inner Voice 
 
Thanks for listening.

Or

The Inner Voice 2

Than you Reece, appreciate your ears and time.

Thank you James, yes the headphone mix is quite interesting and yes you are probably right about the sameness of it.  But I suppose that is part of the point, it is about how when you lay down to sleep but can not because your Inner Voice (The Unquiet Mind) will not become quite and still, it just keeps nagging away at the edge of your consciousness keeping you from sleep.

Perhaps I will revisit and add that melody, thanks for the ears and comment. 

Thank you Nunayu, yes but life can be like that, dull repetitive, day in day out, same old same old.

I appreciate your time and ears, perhaps a dance-able melody will wend its way through the ether and out the end of my furry paws one day for it.

Nunayu?

You don't even remember your own "name"???  

I did some personal development a few years ago and it included learning how to meditate.  Which is all about quietening your mind first.  When you first lay down to sleep you mind is full of thoughts but you can control this and quieten everything down.  It takes some skill and practice. 
 
Visually it is like looking at a sky with many clouds in it.  The clouds are your thoughts.  You then slowly move the clouds to the sides and eventually away to reveal a clear blue sky with maybe only one small cloud in it.  Which could be a mantra for example or simply none at all.
 
The music we heard while this was all going on was nothing like this track though.  This track for me anyway is too good and interesting.  What worked really well in this situation was an ambient track that started off slightly complex and busy and just thinned out over time to almost nothing.  Just like the clouds all moving to the sides of your mind and putting them to sleep.

Nice arpeggiated sequence you have there Wookiee and like the inner voice it just keeps going round and round, so you have captured the feeling well. Like others have said I would put a very simple melody over the top, something like a flute style, you could then easily turn this into a completely different track - two for the price of one so to speak

I listened to ver 2.  I thought the melody drove the whole song from beginning to end.  I didn't find it repetitive.  Isn't it weird how subjective music is! (Sorry for the top heavy sentence).  I enjoyed it.  It felt care free.

Just had a listen to the second version...    I think having that melody, using that tone, over the arps works really well.  The bottom is somewhat repetitive but the top is shifting nicely over it, almost like a dream. 

Yeah, nice! I especially liked the little galloping thing you did with the percussion, really gets the thing moving right along. I don't know how you cram so much yummy sound in your tracks without it glomming up into a big muddy mess but you do and it sounds wonderful. Thanks for this!

good stuff Mr W -
sorry I missed this one - must have been during the move
