lovely hypnotic song. I really dig the female vocals who really create a "dreamy" feel!

Thanks Thomas! That vocal really shaped the song for me as well...

The violin is a Kontakt library that I fed through an amp to give it some grit, then ran through a chorus and delay. Tried to get that Jean-Luc Ponty sound. Thanks for the comments on the transitions; that took days of mixing and tweaking to get smooth. Glad it turned out well.

Ah, yes.  Session Strings.  Another library I need to spend more time exploring.

Actually, it is a library by Embertone called "Friedlander Violin". It's a really responsive solo violin library, that the sample guys would cringe if they knew how I abused their beautiful samples, lol.

Very nice Dan and you did get a Jean Luc Ponte sound if you ask me, I have everyone of his albums. Although his violin would stick out more the backing tracks seemed to flow nicely like his work flows. You did a great job with the arrangement and instrumentations. The mix sounded great and every was nice and smooth. Great piece you have hear.
 
Peace and Blessings, John

I too like this production.  It offers more than just a beat and synth  parts - it is spatial and has nice creativity.  I would have liked the violin more natural sounding - it has some sharp peaks that are a little distracting.  Drums could use some fills here and there but no big deal.  
 
Nice work.

I brought the violin up and down to emphasize certain phrases. May be a bit too aggressive in one or two spots. I'll likely tweak the mix over the weekend because the staccato claps are starting to bug me a little (I hear it now Robby). I'm going to remove some and push them back a bit, particularly during the first half. I'll take another critical listen to the violin as well.
 
Thanks!

Well done Dan on the whole project. Enjoyed listening to this x2......all the wonderful tones filled up my headphones very nicely......very nicely mixed.
