"Icarus - Above the Sea" is my second entry for "Mac8 - Oct Flight In Freedom"

personnel:
Mihai Sorohan - trumpet, keyboards, bass and drums programming,
Bogáti Bokor Ákos - acoustic guitar
Orosz-Pál József - piano

Gear used:
sequencer - Reason (bundle with my soundcard)
midi controler - M-Audio Radium 49
soundcard - M-Audio Audiophile Delta 192
mixer - Behringer Eurorack UB1204FX-Pro
microphone - Shure C607
trumpet - Amati ATR213
acoustic guitar - Hora
guitar processor - Korg Toneworks AX1G
Effects added in FL demo version and rendered to wav.
Reverb and Compressor from Antress free plugins.

This for some reason (flying, sea, seagulls and idea of freedom) makes my wife to think more of Jonathan Livingstone ... oh well, I'll have to let you, I have a flight to catch :)

This is epically awesome. The trumpet is superb, and it just sounds like a cool stroll on the beach. Oh, and those third and fifth intervals with the trumpets are gorgeous. Even the synthesizer sounds as smooth as butter. I can tell that you know your stuff, man. It makes me wanna draw inspiration from it instantaneously (jesus why haven't I submitted anything in this category; look at my name for christ sakes!!! lol)
But really,
10/10
5/5

"Never heard anything like it"

date: July 17, 2009

I like how it has the sound of the ocean in it. Most songs I picture involving the ocean don't have that. Now, I'm thinking a Jazz band performing at a seaside restaurant. Nice looking, sun's either setting or it's night. The place is in Mexico (can hear a little salsa flare in the trumpets). Great work

Thanx for the review.
Very nice and imaginative one. Guess is sunset, at least as I imagine, not night.

I got totally inside your song... you and all band members did a wonderful job. a really good arrangement and a sweet recording, very well mixed and masterized.

Could not give anything higher than a 10/10, but i think this will make up for it.

This song touched my soul
