So I had a keyboard lesson and I learned a new technique for tonic voicings. Then I made a rough version with only the piano. LilFugitive listened to it and said the piano was fine, yet more instruments were needed. So a sax, shakers, bongo and more joined in. It all became a mash-up and this is the result. Enjoy!

"Quite nice."

Well now, you just keep improving and improving, don't you? Very nice track, pretty jazzy tune, nice sax soundfont as well. Loving the percussion on this one.

May I ask why you never add reverb to your piano though? :P

Can't give you anything more than that to be honest, it's a well-rounded track.

This sounds very different from your other songs I've been listening to. But it sure sounds like a Jurian song. So I guess this means you have a very unique and distinuishable style in your music.

The song sounds again very calm and relaxing and even though I think of bongos to be a more impulsive instruments they fit themselvs well into the song and sound calm and relaxing, too.

Like Coop said in his review, this sounds very much like foyer music, as it stays in the background so well.

"Saxarific!"

by: Shadow-1409

A very nice piano intro, and fits well with the bass line in the intro. The bongo drums were pretty cool for percussion coupled witht eh shakers gave for a unique sound. The saxaphone is used very nicely throughout the whole peice and gives it a jazzy feel. All the instruments are all combined very nicely in this.
The outro is cool, consisting of bongo drums and it seems to fit the loop quite nicely, bringing us around back to the slow piano.
A very relaxing tune, cant wait to hear more! ^_^

"What can I say?"

Your pieces are still improving, although by listening to them, it would seem that there is really no way that you could improve. It starts off nice and calm, but it really does pick up nicely.

Certainly some good mood music for a resteraunt or hotel foyer. Have you considered farming out your talents to this industry?

To make this even better, it loops really well. This would be ideal for the above task, I'd wager.

"Brilliant"

by: Shanus

date: March 22, 2008

An excellently complex song. With the saxophone keeping us on track during the whole duration of the song. Loved the bass, and the drums were excellent too. The strings mirroring the sax were quite subtle but were an integral part of the song. Great song, another masterpiece :D
