I want a theramin. Someone buy me a theramin, or perhaps a trade? I've got some perfectly good kidneys I could trade.

Nice vibes. My favorite aspect of this is all the negative space that the musical elements float around in to breathe.

This is so beautiful. And to contrast it further I was listening to something really aggressive just before this hit my ear 'oles.
Gotta agree 100 with Cake, very lofty and floating, with room to explore all the vibes. Love how you gave us time to take in by staying on chords long enough to get to know how they moved!

Love the dark and smoky night club vibes from the vibraphone and bass.  The theremin line is mournful and really tugs at the heart strings. heart Excellent work!

Love that deep bass. Very cool "brushes".

Give me the 'The cinematic orchestra' band vibe.

You are doing good this year!

you're killing it in everything you take on. this is all m8 right? very nice sound design as usual and you should definitely get a theremin!

Hits that noir-ish night club feel perfectly.  You've once again taken us straight into the seedy underbelly of some dark and rain soaked urban space.  And theremins are super cool.  And I'm sure you would put one to awesome use.

love the slow groove! lol don't we all want a theremin we wont be able to play

just absolutely gorgeous patient music
and the theremin line is the perfect touch

Theremins are cool I could never get the hang of them when I came in contact with them. The challenge is kind of part of the appeal though. If you get someone to buy you a theremin, ask if they would get me one too tongue

There is a real smoke filled room feeling to this one. Instantly makes me think of slowed down footage of people smoking and drinking in a moody bar after every one starts leaving.

I love giving space for delay and reverb to do their thing.

I've been using a noise oscillator for my brushes, I haven't spent time looking for good jazz percussion samples. I really should!
Thank you!

Thank you! Yeah! All M8. For some reason the M8 tags don't stay when I add them.

Jazz Thereminist is a cool title. Hmm.

I definitely need to get humbled by one. The desire to own one is increasing. Maybe when I recognize I'm trash I'll think again.
