This one is in 5/4 and mainly acoustic, two things that I used to do a lot back before I figured out how to use computers to make music. I felt very uncertain making this, it feels so odd to try to use my acoustic skills in a digital space. It would have been way more fun if I had other musicians on hand to play stuff. I was gonna drop a beat in there, but decided to leave it alone and keep it simple cos I have lots of other stuff to do. There some random decisions and errors in there, but oh well, week 24 is done. Have a nice week, everyone.

This piece is quite beautiful and evocative. It shows your "acoustic" roots in a wonderful way, and it doesn't feel incomplete at all. No missing beat, from a listener's point of view. Fantastic smile

Very pretty.

Beats don't have to come in hard and/or fast, they can take a back seat if you want them to. A gentle tambourine, a triangle once every so often, some claves on a down beat.

Thanks for your kind comments. Maybe it's the cold southern hemisphere weather, but I'm feeling in the mood for more stripped back acoustic stuff. I think I'll make something in a similar vein this week.
