heart Blue notes & emotive progression. Wonderful scenery. heart

Whoa, piano-driven Orange Drink! Those arps and the chord progression they’re outlining are incredibly cool. And that outro - fantastic!

Piano sounds great, and I always love hearing the trumpet.  Has a cool loungey kind of vibe to it.  I wasn't expecting the sort of mangled ending, but I liked it.

What a lovely piano progression heart wow! The drums with the trumpet are such a chill combo with the piano.  Beautiful scenery! The ending is like I unearthed this gem 50 years too late.  Yay piano! heart

🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇

So melancholic, a great soundtrack for the deserted vistas in the video. The warble and breakdown at the end were a great choice on how to close too! Hahahaha... Nice!

Lovely sounds and visuals! I also like the twist near the end.

absolutely love the way this comes to pieces in the end heart

also hi to ur dad possibly?!

Great stuff. Killing your portastudio should be avoided.

Love how this sounds.very emotive!

Really nice piano work... and it's great to see Frank again in the video.

BTW... did you actually put your tape recorder inside the washing machine or used the Octatrack for the final tape warbling? wink

Love the trumpet

Haha I feel like this could make amazing black metal song! 🤘

Also reminds me a bit of Black Hole Sun.

This is the good shit! 😁

Wonderful. For a second I thought my pc was acting up (running some heavy applications atm) and thought something hit my cpu so hard, it was distorting the sound XD

Love the video as well, as someone who has never seen such scenery irl, it draws to me.

Noice

That piano tone is great!

Is that little drum loop your acoustic drums? If so this is so well played-recorded, very nice! If not the loop suits very well the track and nice curation. smile

That wobbly glitches-slow down at the end is a great way to finish the track.

Oooh the wonky tape sounds at the end are a very fun way to end the track! Really enjoyed the trumpet melody on this, and the drums sound great!

love how this dies off in some kind of vaporwave fever dream

Really cool!

damn heart

soulful & achingly beautiful warbles

frank smile at the end is the cherry on top

you are both a delight

Ohhh that sax is such a moment... and then the tape deck fails! And it totally takes me into another space, this was really awesome.

I loved at the end, sounds like it's a tape machine trailing off into oblivion.

༘⋆📼˚ ༘ ೀ⋆。˚

Also wanted to close my eyes to this, enjoyed the chill. Love how it disintegrates .

Did I already mention I'm catching up on your stuff? Because I am, and this one is wonderfully different from the other two. You got range, sir. Raw and emotional.

Again, no notes, five stars. Again, wonderful trumpet. Again, wish it were longer. Again, I understand tho.

Thanks, that was the plot twist in lieu of a B section smile

I appreciate that you think the ending worked!  It was a gamble, but I think the video also sells it more

Exactly!  That’s the Generation Loss pedal - so happy to have a reusable destroyed tape machine smile

Thanks, I’m glad you got the emotions here.  I was certainly feeling them.

ha ha ha, that’s the Generation Loss pedal - I love it.  It’s much more reliable than trying to break a tape machine just the right amount!  Frank says hi!

SO HAPPY you thought your computer was broken, that is perfect!  LOL thanks about the scenery, all from a wonderful train trip in 2023 (I can only leave the house of WB off-years smile]

Thank you!  That is 100% me playing, I think that was only one microphone, the CM-15 that I recently got.  THANK YOU, your drum comments mean the world to me because I love your drum sound and emotional committment to the drums.  Glad you liked the ending too - it wasn’t a cop-out to me, it really was the “B” section

thank you!  it’s a trumpet, but I was playing it low so I’m glad it had a sax feel to it!
