I decided to embark on another sonic journey with a recurring melodic motif.  Take a trip.

Great mid-eastern-flavored development; whispered vocals add the frosting. Whistling ending was a nice surprise.

I love all the wild percussion on this track!  Well done.

the horse gallop has got to be the best

Thanks.  I'm not sure why but I knew I wanted to work in some whistling from the beginning.

  I originally had a simple beat running through the whole thing, but started to find that a bit boring, so I started throwing in some other stuff just for fun.

Experimental psychedelic music at it´s best. A trip through wild sonic guitarloops and western cinematic scenes... a new level on your weeklyplaylist.

  Thanks!  This ended up being the longest track I've done so far this year.  I didn't set out with that intention, but I was having fun making noises and it grew...

Great Song!
I love the intro most.
In the middle of the song I just wasn't able to read my emails any more wink but great it just draws all attentions...
Nice that you give some time to relax at the end....
Downloaded it...

So interesting throughout, I love where this goes. Nice when you don't know what to expect next from a song.

  Thanks!  Glad to hear you enjoyed this one.

  To be honest I wasn't entirely sure where it was going next while I was recording it, but sometimes that's a big part of the fun.  smile

A trippy intro and suhweet guitar lines looping in and out of each other.  Definitely a interesting journey through sound! Nice work!

  Sometimes it's nice to wander off into the sonic woods so to speak.  Thanks for listening!

this is some excellent work, ethan. it's detailed and minimal and patient and curious. it's a deep dive

  I felt like the main theme was a place I could always return to.  Otherwise I could venture way out into the deep end.   It was an interesting way to create.
