Hi Guys,
   I must apologise in advance, I've not had the time to listen and comment on your music. I've been very short for time. Short deadline on my newest piece. Written and mixed in under a week. I think that's a new record for me.
Anyway, have a listen and let me know what you think. All views welcome.
 
 
Once I've completely finished with this one I'll have some spare time to go through all of your songs that I've missed over the past week.
 
Ok, update. I used this piece to enter a competition and I would appreciate it if eveyone could vote for me :) I have 1 vote at the moment. (me!) :)

Many thanks & take care,

Hi Gus
 
This one sounds well produced. I am not a fan of the guitar patch...at least it sounds like a guitar patch starting at around :37......too scratchy for me...maybe its a synth, but to me it sounds like a guitar sent through some kind of synth pedal. The rest was pretty good etherial music.

That was really cool!   Very ethereal and creepy vibe all the way through.
 
Mix-wise there seems to be a little high-end harshness (even in the intro) that's a little distracting IMO.  It's hard to pick out exactly what it is with these cheap PC headphones, but I think if you could smooth it out this would be a nice one under the belt.

Great production as usual. I think if I were mixing this I might try notching it a little  around 2.5k. It does have a little edge to it IMO. Sounds great other that to me.

Hi Tim,
  Thanks for listening and commenting. The distorted gt part is a big mix of ambient cello, baritone gt, distorted bass and gt. It have a synth edge to it as is all midi and doing some crazy fx things.

Thanks again Steve,
  You are totally right, I've been fighting with the harshness on this one. To my ears it sounded like the piano was clipping, but it's not. Think I've got it sorted now.

Many many thanks for saying that Monty, As I've just mentioned to Steve, I have been fighting with finding the high end problem but couldn't see (hear) where it was.
 I've done as you have asked and think it's done the trick. Just mixing down now...
