I think this qualifies for 'ambient'. I hope you will agree. It is another tune that has been on 'slow cook' for about 2 years. Sleepy Hollow is a real place, but it's proper name is The Silent Pool, and it's in Surrey, England. On the A25 just below Newlands Corner to be precise  |

Listening as I type......this is yet another of your sumptuous melodies that has me reaching for the whistle. If it weren't such an anti-social instrument I would be skirling away right now! As it is, I shall have to hold off until tomorrow....then give it some 'welly' when everyones out of the house.  Lovely stuff, Will. You really have a way with composition, young man.  James |

Folderol,
A very nice mood this piece evokes and I love the soloing synth sounds,but about 2/3's into the song,the structure in the solo and the backround solo layer needs to be tightened up and arranged a bit differently I think.
If memory serves,you are using just the Alesis Fusion as your sole recording tool?
If so,I think you could do some really amazing & flawless compostions with a keyboard like the Kurzweil K2661...seriously!
I plan on getting one myself and I must profess to you,that if you love your Fusion,you will love the K2661 a hundred fold!!
It truly is the most amazing 61 key workstation out there for the price & even though it's roughly twice the price of your Fusion-the quality is far beyond than just
double-it's quadruple the quality!
If you do want to upgrade,save your money and do the research on this board-I promise you,you will be mesmerized by this keyboard.
Just some food for thought.
Cheers,
Thom

No, it is done entirely with ZynAddSubFX as the instrument source, my SY35 acting as a dumb keyboard and Rosegarden effectively as a multitrack realtime recorder, and later, editor. The part I think you are referring to has had quite a few attempts to get right  I know it still tends to sound a tad confused (3:12, 3:23), and will probably have another stab at it sometime. @ kara You are quite right You know I sometimes think I've only just scratched the surface with Zyn. I've still done very little with the Pad synth section. I also agree that the penny whistle is not antisocial, but know others are less erm... keen. When I was a kid I was only allowed to do my piano practice when the house was virtually empty  Anyway, I'm very glad you all like this. Onwards and Upwards as they say |

Beautiful track, great sounds. The low choir humming sound is great, very subtle but still a significant element to the whole feel. This song reminds me a bit of Vangelis.

Thanks a lot Marc. Hey, I dunno about the Vangelis comparison. I have an old house with narrow doors, so have to keep my head size down <edit> Oops, I forgot to say thanks to L. R.  |

Lush, Will, very lush! (and I'm not talking about your drinking habits ) Restful, pensive, evocative....all the good words. By contrast, sometimes I worry about my "thrash and holler" inclinations, but then, we all need something to chuckle at, don't we? Oren. |

Hi folderol,
I agree with the previous posts as this is one beautiful lush professional sounding performance. Absolutely fantastic.
If I had heard this in a record/cd store I would have guessed Vangelis.
