dee-lightful~ ziti you did great with drak's track! Everything gels together so beautifully. |

Amazing! This is just so beautiful guys! The original was great, but always seemed to be missing something - not any more. How do you explain it when an instrumental brings you to tears (but not necessarily in a sad way)? I really can't say much more, an absolutely perfect ambient piece. Wonderful playing as usual Fran. Brilliant! Neil |

Finger picking good! Bravo guys! I must say, to my ears, this is a completely different song. Drak & Ziti, you've warmed up that cool, damp cavern. Smoke trails still linger long after this is over. I'm really impressed. Ziti, you've added a slight Jeff Beck color to this. It's funny how different instruments can send a song through a time warp: Modern ambient electronica to Pink Floyd. Okay, okay, if you insist... faved! Great collab! --Miss Chaos |

It's raining here now This is a most excellent backdrop for a mellow, damp evening. Very good work gents. |

Drakonis, yes, a lasting friendship is another gift. I listened to this today, after it was posted and I have to say, without fear of sounding big-headed, that I felt very proud. I have long dreamed of playing this style of music, but it just isn't possible in a club...specially a blues club! I LOVE this style of music, and when I listened to this song as a post, I finally heard it. I could even vote on it without feeling awful!! (I mean how low is that??!!) but I really don't care!. This piece, (as well as the other collabs I have done) are gifts that will remain with me for the rest of my time. They are like invitations to visit an exciting new friend in a mysterious location. And this piece is a very beautiful gift indeed. I knew it was right after your first listen, when you noticed the same little koto style lick I played that I had liked, the lick that made me save that performance...all the guitars center on that little lick. You recognized it too. This is a great composition, Drakonis, and as i said, all the guitar parts were already there...you just forgot to make tracks for em! And I feel proud! music is peace z ps don't tell anyone I voted on it ok?? that's just not right... |

sweet I like the way the guitars bubble over, actually. Quite pretty! |

Ah Now I have an idea of what it would sound like if Jeff Beck recorded with Edgar Froese. This is a beautiful soundscape, guys. |
 | Ejh said 1172 days ago |

Yeah, you guys SHOULD be proud... This is lovely... And, harping on my usual themes, I bet it will be "headphone candy"... Reminds me at once of some of the dreamier Hendrix, more thoughtful Knopfler a little at times, touches of Pink Floyd/David Gilmour... Yeah, I can hear the Adrian Belew in there, too... And I mean all comparisons to be compliments, taking nothing away from the originality of the piece... Nice sonorities, to borrow Rich's word... This is a guitar lover's dream... again... Ed |

Mmmmmmm.... Some nice "headin' off into sleepyland" soundtrack music. Dreamy, swirly, flows right over you. Just keeps gettig better and better, Drak. Nicely done Ziti. |

Top notch ....Ziti's playing really added "the voice" that took it to another level. Wonderful display of intertwined talent. Meditation music for sure.... Light the candles and incense and breath deep. |

Subtle Nicly put together and mixed quite well. The guitar playing is very Jeff Beck like and done well. That's the highest compliment I can pay since I think Beck is #1. They guitar is very subtle and is woven together nicly with just the right amount of echo. Well done and top shelve guitar.-JAC |

best version yet The addition of ziti's sweet, expressive guitar is exactly what this piece needed! I've always thought that this one had a lot of potential, but was still a "work in progress". NOW you have realized the potential nicely with the guitar; it's a great combination of your ambient sound-bed with ziti's always-excellent playing. It's gratifying to hear a collab like this, when everything comes together in the right way to create an even more powerful result than the original. Great job, both of you. |

Ember Quiet heat, light flit across a world of shadow. Faces, leaves then stones in a river. Wonderful mix! |
 | aralim said 1161 days ago |

Very nice! Drak / Ziti, I liked this a lot. Ziti's guitar playing is awesome (my first time hearing it)! I made a point of listening to the original Ember-Rekindled to better appreciate the layering, interweaving, and texturing done here as well as in the original. I listen to so much high-energy music to keep myself pepped up that it's nice to listen to something more toned down and just mentally chill for a few minutes. Can't wait to hear more! |

thoughts from the bull... music that can evoke mood is easy enough to create, even by an amateur; but music that can evoke emotion - real, true, honest emotion - is extremely rare and, i think, a difficult task. this piece not only plays on the heartstrings in a nostalgic sense, but it forced me to look forward, nostaligically, into the future as well... that may only make sense to me, of course! hehe this is my kind of "kitchen" music. my after-dinner-cleanup music that i can simply let wash over me, and as the mess becomes less and the countertops become glazed with the scent of lemony cleaning products, the music finds itself at home. a lovely, moving piece that i very much enjoyed and appreciated! thank you for sharing your comments with me and your music! i look forward to more!! |

Lovely Guitar, but a little too much. Mimicing some of the comments already made.... the piece has a very nice, relaxing, ambient texture which the guitar fits in with very well most of the time (the guitar squeals arn't exactly in place in my opinion, but I like them anyway). However, I believe the guitar became too dense, far too quickly. The impact of the guitars was eventually lost because not a lot changed throughout the piece. In my opinion, I would've really enjoyed it if the guitar playing was a lot sparser in the beginning (Only one guitar, slowly and infrequently) and built over the course of the piece. This would have the benefit of the guitar not 'bubbling over' the ambient texture so soon and by the end of the piece it would be plainly intentional. Another idea might be that the guitars don't fade out with the ambient texture.... maybe they fade out after, or just stop playing after a little time after the base texture. Because of the current structure and how the fades are done at the moment, makes it sound to me as if you've cut in and out of a piece... and we're only hearing the middle section. Other than that, nice work the two of you, keep it up. |

What MacJams is all about I'm not up to the challenge myself of making something worthy of drak's evocative backdrop, so I was very happy to hear this collaboration. I read The Composer's comments and can understand his perspective, but for a contrasting opinion, I thought it had a nice "jam" feel to it, where Ziti really sounded as if he were responding to the backdrop and letting his playing express his emotional reaction. You two are well matched and should work together again! |

harmony.com I think you guys have found harmony in one another. The mix is fantastic - this is an astounding collaboration. Must say Drak - youve laid a beautiful bed for Ziti to run Mark Knofler-esque riffs on top of. This def a fave of mine - thanks for the email also, Drak. underdog. |

perfect touch I heard this the day it was uploaded, but it wasn't until tonight that I went back and heard how the piece evolved. (I tried to see how old the original Ember was, but the date probably isn't accurate since it was updated to link to this one). Ziti, you have put the cherry on the sundae. Drakonis, you were so right that Ember was a nice bed of coals awaiting some dancing flames. I hope someday that I can be part of a musical pairing this naturally beautiful. Ziti, have you ever heard the Roger Waters album Amused To Death? Some of your licks remind me of it. Nice. |

Lovely track The guitar noodling sets off the music really well, it is a delight to listen to. The ambience created is really nice and still does hold a sadness which is insiring. |

The guitar editions are superb and really sound wonderful in this. |
Very mystic and sweeping.
The soundbed is so soothing and mournful, and the guitar is
to die for. Top-notch mix and great performances.
This is an excellent piece, gentlemen!
Fav'ed and DL'ed.
