AGREE WITH several of the other comments...
needs some low end items.... either big tympani style drums, kick drum, or bass guitar, just doing drone notes even...
 
but, it's a cool tune,
and is begging for a vocal. LOL
it's basically just one repeating riff, over and over...it's very pleasant, but a vocal melody could go everywhere that the main melodic rhythm doesn't go...
and really tie it all together.
 
just sounds like a demo of an idea right now..
 
 
 
post the vocal version too.......

Hi Tim,
Another Journey in the foggy Gaelic kingdom,full of mysterys,strange creatures and .....well cool chords.
Thank you.

Ps: I am amazed to discover how prolific you are. Good job in all ways.
Ps 2: if you make the flight here to France,you must go directly to a place named :"Cap Frehel"and it will surely talk a lot to you,(I've been there only once but my grandfather was grown up not far from there... Yes some celtic blood is pouring in my veins.😎)
Cheers.
Olivier.

Tim, The entry piece was just a tad off or odd, but then the guitar kicked in right off, so that was helpful. Nice guitar work and additional instrumentation. Does have that Celtic vibe to it for sure. Nice remix for the most part, but need a few separation tweaks on the instrumentation, IMO. Nice clear sound though.
 
Peace and Blessings, John

hey Tim, great performances and great mix, but I agree with others I'd like to hear some bass and drums (not just the light percussion) to give it some strength
 
good stuff

A wonderful, evocative piece. Nice atmosphere with a lot of intriguing things happening, but unfortunately too much of it is lost behind the guitars. Love the flute parts, but they should be much more up front. If your goal is to highlight the guitars, then I would lose some of the other parts altogether.

Celtic Surprise. Not really the type of music I would normally listen to. But, this is excellent - listened to the end. Lots of nice details.
 
This is great.

Rimshot- Thanks ! I remember those comments from before. I made one song with bass in it and am looking into more of that. I am rolling off with a fairly stepp curve at around 60hz and pulling down some of my mix in the 200hz range since I have this nasty bump there in my studio. Without ARC 2 that nasty bump shows up. With ARC engaged it all goes away, so I figured that it was my room. Maybe I've gone too far the other way. Also the bouzouki doesn't have as much low end as a guitar. I just loaded a few new drum programs so maybe I'll see if I can make something sit in there. Suggestions are appreciated!
 
Andy- Thank you!!
 
Daryl- Thanks a bunch!
 
Wookie- Yeah that thought kinda sux...lol! Thanks!
 
Batsbrew- Yes I agree there are some repeating motifs but no more than most other songs that have V/C. And I use different motifs..If I change it too much it drifts away from the theme imo. I hear what you're saying about adding a vox though. This might make it far more engaging. I hear you on adding bass and beats or both "bottom end" . This is basically mixed like folk music with a much different approach than rock or pop. I am looking into ways to add bottom without being too overt. Suggs always welcome :) Thanks for your comments.
 
Vilvilo- Thank you! I have never heard of the place you mention but it sounds like a very cool place. I am amazed to find such a celtic influence in France. Maybe one day I can make the trip there! Thanks for taking the time to listen! I appreciate the comments!
 
Rimshot- I'm unfortunately on a short break at work, but I plan to come back by to listen. I really appreciate the link. I will see what it is.
 
John- Thanks!
 
Beagle- Thanks for the vote on bass. I see I have some work to do.
 
Mark- I always appreciate it when someone comes by to listen to something they might not be very keen to. It shows a lot of effort on your part and I think that it's folks like you and the others that make this such a nice place to visit!

Nice work as always, Tim!   Clean and clear.
 
Although, I do agree with others in that I'd like to hear a little more bottom, maybe something like a bodhran and baritone acoustic guitar (or similar)?
