What a lovely, joyful piece Dan. Sounds fantastic through my headphones, like the reverb(s) you're using, really warm and clean. Agree with Daryl, that breakdown is superbly done, and I love the arpeggios that come in right after. Right up my street this one, would make great driving music.

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



Thanks Scott! Piano is from Ivory II. I tweaked it a bit to fit the song better, but it is all from within Ivory II.

Terriffic work. I find this song refreshing.



Thanks Antti! If I may ask, what about it makes it refreshing?

Great piece, Dan. I also got a mix between Paul Simon, Vangelis with some extras mixed in. Sounds excellent!
All the best.

I like the creativity and enriched action, including the ear candy soundscape stuff.  Sounds like a lot of work went into it. The bass and drums sound too synth-like and was a bit distracting for me, though.  Just my two cents.

The fact that you melded together different kind of styles and put melody changes and at least one surprise synth 'attack'. I usually don't care so much about African style rhythms but here it was a good thing. I am not saying I usually hate African drum rhythms but I am not usually fond of them. It might be because I don't hear it so much. And the end result was great. I usually don't hear this kind of material.

Thank you James! Reverbs are a mix of the Lexicon PCM Random Hall and ValhallaRoom. I also setup a percussion room using REmatrix.
