This is a great piece with a lot going on. The mix is crystal clear and I love the tone of the piano.

Great feel/vibe in this track!  It's eclectic for sure when listening to specific parts, yet overall it's still somehow unified.    Not an easy thing to do.  And do well.
 
As others mentioned the mix is nice and open, wide and airy.   But that seems to be your standard so not really unexpected.  




Thanks Steve! I wasn't sure how it would all hold up, to be sure. Glad to hear that it came across okay. And thanks for the compliment on the mix...

Hi Dan, 
Wow ! your song came out fantastic  I love all the themes and all the places the song goes .
Love that Bass pocket you did around 2 and change …
Very nice blend of sounds that I wouldn't expect to hear in the more traditional African sound …
Great Mix too .
on a side note , back East I played w a trad African Jazz band for outdoor concerts . When I moved out West I played with an Artist who did much of the music for The Lion King and The Color Purple ..( those projects were before my time w the Artist ) 
I happen to Love the Genre even though on my own I'm not setup to  do  it ..
 
Great Job 

 
Kenny




Thank you Kenny! It started out traditional enough, ha ha...

A wonderfully happy mixture of percussive and melodic instruments!
The clarity and balance of the mix is impressive. The arrangement is big, wide open and musically in bloom.
As a musician I always make the same mistake of listening to the production first, and not the song itself.
This time the song immediately grabbed my attention. The vibe is that strong.
Well done sir, well done!

 there were 9 mixes that I considered "final" and then I found something I didn't like (or thought I could do better) and would make adjustments to the mix.



I started naming my exports songname-final and then I add ha to the end because I know it's never the final. Every new final, I add another ha to the end. So the more finals I do, the funnier it gets. Also an easy way to track which one is the latest (has the most ha's).
 
Anyway, +1 to the other comments, a really great track.




Thank you Art! I like your naming convention, lol!

Dan
