"Et in arcadia ego" new-age choir and guitar piece by Morenoise remix 3-2

 
I found that the guitar seemed to float a little detached from the choir.  Personally I would have narrowed the width of the guitar and widened the choir, even going as far as lowering the choir in the middle.  That is just my opinion.
 
Thanks for sharing.
 

It's looking a lot like spring down here in south Texas.  I listened to this song with my studio window open and had the birds chirping in the background.  Made for a very nice relaxed experience.  Sometimes I miss that in the songs forum because I try to analyze a song to death and forget to just listen to it and feel it.

It's certainly a nice sound.

Guitar's good.  With the delay on the guitar, you could try riding the delay send level and automate it so that not *all* of the guitar is delayed, just the end of each phrase.  It sounds tedious, but really only takes a few plays through to automate the send level, and to me can really take something like this to another level.  That's just me, though.

It is worth developing it a bit?  Adding some layers as you go along?  I'm not really into the New Age thing, so this might be like suggesting that one adds some distortion to the lead violin in the symphony, but that would keep my interest all the way through.  Perhaps some sort of percussion?  Not a drum beat -- even I can see that that's too much!! -- but just something to take it along a bit.

Anyway, nice sounds.  Well done.
 

Hi John, no channel tools in x-1 essential, alas .

Hi Mark, thanks for listening and nice comments. I certainly didn't analyse this .

Hi Daniel, thanks for listening. Good call on that delay, was just to lazy. Don't know what new-age is either, pretty sure this isn't death metal though .

Hi Janet, spellbinding isn't it .  Just a delay on the guitar to flesh it out a bit. Mastered it a bit to loud I think.

Greetings, Rik

"Latin translation - "Even in Arcadia I exist" where "I" is considered to refer to death".

Hi Rik - So very pleased you chose to follow the Arcadia = pastoral Utopia route instead of the above alternative! This is a wonderful piece. Had me dreaming of long summer days in country meadows with the occasional dancing nymph passing by (perhaps I shouldn't have eaten those mushrooms!). It isn't often I listen to a piece and don't want it to end. This is the exception. Your guitar work is mesmerising. Very much look forward to more like this.

Best Regards
Malcolm

Very nice Rik...

Hi Frank, thanks for listening.

Hi Janet, almost running out of adjectives .


Greetings, Rik

That is a nice combination of the synth and the electric.  Malcolm has an very interesting explanation for this song.
