this is my new track in my opinion it is the most beautiful thing i've done to this date, its just improvised piano and cello with a natural backdrop... no trickery here, just calm. check it out please! :)

Awesome track!
Definately some of your best work. I didn't know you could play the Cello as well. A really good piece and very relaxing.
My only criticism would be to ditch the first time the seagulls appear- it works a lot better the second time...

thankyou very much guys! i had this track on repeat on my bedroom stereo while a massive storm hit (i cant risk my computer in the storms) and yeah i love this track
i cant play the cello ceri, my prac doesnt extend beyond piano and brass, but i do however have a 6 octave midi keyboard :)
the cello is a sound font
this track was produced without a sequencer of any sort, i just assigned my instruments and just pressed record :) im very very happy with it

Ah the soundfont is good quality (I'm pretty good at spotting synthetic strings as I used to play the violin :) and I take it you didn't quantise it?

i really dont like quantising my stuff unless im slamming down improv beats... i've ruined a few too many keyboard parts by quantising them... i think the whole point of playing it live is so that its more human, taking away the whole computer perfection... i like that

Yes- can also help hide the fact that an element is synthed too- if it sounds slightly loose, it's easier to imagine someone really playing it :)

delicious! this is really good, guy (but then, i'm hard pressed to find something of yours i don't like. heh). but i agree with ceri about the seagulls. the second time it seems more..."natural". or something. hehe. very very relaxed and pretty. impressive. thanks for sharing. =]

I would have liked a lot more in a more sober, less romantic production.
with that I mean - cutting all the moody background sounds, kind of cheap, to me.
remove all the reverb - make it cleaner, more forthright, honest, I guess.
now, combined with the track title, the romance drips off it.

really cool track. only gripe i have with it is the seagulls, they just distract from the melody too much and just reek of cheese.

it's a good track, but i don't think you need the seagulls and ocean in there, personally. otherwise a very nice song.
