Thanks PM - much appreciated.

I got into a bit of a cross-Canada roadtrip headspace for this one - wide-open plains and all that - and got thinking about how the sentiments apply to people everywhere.

Glad you liked.

I was incredibly moved when I heard this track, and imagine that my response to your composition gave me a glimpse into the emotional place you started from when creating this. Your BT is sublime, just so beautiful. I am grateful to be part of this music.

Thank you for the support - means a lot especially since I set the vocals against a fairly different backing.

You give my process too much credit though - it’s not so much that I started out from an emotional place, but rather grew into it. Almost all of the time I start out somewhere very random, and sort of meander in my process until I either land on something that has meaning to me - or not. :)

Thanks for the vocals - I really enjoyed it.

Just goes to show the limits of language and the danger of assumption! I equated “resonate” with “emotional place…” This just illustrates how easily we project our experience onto others, as I was moved to an emotional place by this song. Hearing my vocals in different settings is the beauty of ccM and a pleasure, especially when put into such a gorgeous backing! So thanks again!

And an excellent version it is. Cleanly emotive. Very well done indeed.

“Cleanly emotive” I like. Thanks for that.

SJ’s vocals are very powerful, and I wanted to do something that supported them and didn’t get in the way of the delivery.

Glad you liked.

This must be what it’s like to drift up to heaven accompanied by beings from a higher plane. (That’s you and SJ22.) Absolutely beautiful.

Hahaha - and here I thought I was working from the lower plane, and not the other way around. :)

Thanks though - very much appreciate it. :)

This kinda sorta reminds me of music for a certain project of yours that won’t be mentioned here, but with some very good vocals on top of it. Or to put it differently:

I wonder why you haven’t uploaded the drums (seperately) though?

Yes. I agree wtih you. In fact, that’s what I always wanted for that project, to be honest. Pure instrumental music is great - but I have always been happier having vocals be part of it. Yup.

Quote: SubliminalI wonder why you haven’t uploaded the drums (seperately) though?
I suppose I could, but they aren’t terrific on their own - and I thought they would discourage people from using the instrumentals if I uploaded as part of that mix, so …

Thanks for the support and for leaving a comment.

With or without the vox this is a very nice piece.

But with Sackjo’s vocal it becomes that little bit of magic that makes music so good at times.

Thanks. Getting this type of support is what makes making music so good at times.

You are so good when making this sort of music.

You are “addicted” to this style.

this is a really good ambient track and Sackjo vocals calms down everything.

Brilliant work, a colab work…;-)

Thank you for that. You know I love this type of music, but they only come out when they are ready for it. It’s while I wait for that to happen that I play around with other types of music. :)

Thanks for the kind words.

Thanks for that - it means something to me, because I didn’t want to upset the original feel of the pella and make it all twitchy. Glad you liked.
