"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

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 :)

"So...serene..."

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"

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.

"Dear friend"

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
