Oh my gosh, Lee, I’m listening to the radio in the late 1960s when that gets played…. Wonderful! Being a drummer, I’d love to hear a sensitive drummer who plays for the tune on it, Ringo Starr springs to mind, but the bass and piano carry the time perfectly well without. Thanks for that, mate. ![]()
Hi Stephen
Thanks for the lovely comments.
When I was putting it together I was thinking ‘jazz drums with brushes’
- but then I got a sense of ‘less is more’ and didn’t do it
(I also took out the steel string acoustic guitar as well)
Regards, Lee
Thanks for listening and your comments Vishen. As you know it’s always good to try something a little bit different from time to time.
Thanks Matt for listening and giving your comments buddy. Yeah I love it when composers express emotion in their music. It kind of speaks to me.
‘Get Me’ is a lovely ballad Lee. I get you totally. I also agree with Stephens comments. Song writing is a way of just opening up your heart and sharing your innermost thoughts to the world so thank you for sharing your lyrics and your music buddy. Well done.
Hi Michael. Thank you for your kind comments. I really appreciate it. L
Thought I would do something Halloween related!
That was lovely Lee!
Thanks for the kind comment. It’s much appreciated. L
Horrific - in the best possible ways !

A really spooky and disturbing track in a creative way Vishen. I’m currently writing this comment to you while I’m hiding under my bedsheets. ![]()
Thank you Lee!
@Michael_Urquhart thank you as well Michael!
Hi Everyone! I could use feedback for this new track of mine, mostly because I can struggle to find peace in a track when it’s nearly completed. I can’t decide if it needs anything else or not. But this track was sparked by a recent trip I took, looking back in the past on some car drives, and all this talk on pedals. It’s my first track where just about every part is now from live instruments, and will feature the marvelous @jordonez6 on the bass here soon. It’s taking a major shift from my solo piano project, and going back to my roots of indie electronic music (@christianhenson will have to forgive my hi hat rhythms), but I am already very excited for the future of this project (not yet mixed/mastered): https://on.soundcloud.com/Nu0bFU6IgsPBLtNNZm
This is awesome. I love the ever-ramping intensity that somehow remains chill throughout, very much zone-out-y music I could listen to on a long bus ride.
And you’re telling me this is isn’t even its final form??
That sounds great to me as it is, Noah. It has an immediacy that you don’t want to lose through over-production. I don’t get the crack about Christian and hi-hats, mate, what’s wrong with those rhythms?
The hat is a bit of a blend between live drums and 909’s, it’s meant a bit more as a joke as he’s not the biggest fan of 909 hats
Ah, didn’t know how Christian felt about 909 hats and that they’re a blend explains the odd attack they have. I have no experience of drum machines, being a drummer I have little use for them, but was the Roland 909 the first machine to use real samples for hi-hats, in this case a mismatched Paiste/Zildjian pair?

Very much car roof down in the sunshine (not that I can ever do that)
Hi Noah,
Really enjoyed this, I could definitely see this being music to drive to. The bass rhythm is great (look forward to seeing what Jay does with it!) but there is always that cool chilled synth backdrop that keeps it mellow. As HexaCryonic already said, it’s hard to believe this isn’t already a finished product. ![]()
That shivery build up from 1.15 onwards is very effective Vishen. Excellent piece! ![]()
