    the tuning is unusual,with a dropped D,and the top E being tuned half a step down to E flat.

    Nice exploration of that tuning! I used to listen to koto stuff a lot and that reminded me of how fun it is to get out of the normal mindset and just go exploring!
        The guitar sounds nice and if you are thinking of koto, then the reverb is dead on for that. Congrats! Michael

    Nice Kev, sounds like something is about to go down in some western movie. The tone of the guitar was really sweet. 

    I was expecting the Track to leap into a full on strumming session at the end which would have been cool.

    Just got to add, I listened to 'the enemy mix 2' also. What a fantastic piece of music that is, some really dramatic stuff going on there. Well done Kev.

    This piece is short but sweet.  It left me wanting more.  You did a nice job of recording the guitar; it sounded like it was right next to me as I was listening.  The ambience was nice, too, not too much nor too little.  Well done, Kev.

    All the best,

    It needs something at the end yeah,it just sort of trails off and I'm not into that.Maybe some strumming might be just the ticket :)) Glad u liked,cheers dude

    I like where you're headed with this.  Like Tim said - keep on with it.  Develop it more.  It's got a really nice phrygian vibe.

    Thanks Lynn.For the guitar I cloned the recording and compressed and limited the copy,and it placed it just below the uncompressed guitar.I sent some of the signal to a bus with reverb on it,sent that bus to a delay,and then the delay back into another reverb,this technique is great for creating space !! I know its too short,I still need a 'real' ending for it lol !!! Thanks for listening

    Yes I want to develope an ending.It needs a climax and a little variation in dynamics.I absolutely  love phrygian,it was one of my favorite modes :))
