Description This is an update of M and M with drums by gregd and some bass by me added. I also trimmed a couple bars, so it is a little shorter. Thanks to Greg for the drums, and to everyone who commented on the drum free version. My wife gave the drums her seal of approval. I hope you like the new version also.

Good to hear from you. Its always fun working with other musicians.

talent
You are very talented here and I think the addition to the drums as well as the bass fill alot of this jam. I like the direction the music is going. I would compare it to an elaborate equation. The song is very precise.

peacepiano said 483 days ago
Spitlogic-
Precise is what I often strive for in composition, I think to counter balance how sloppy I can get when practicing different ideas. Maybe I will let loose in my next tune....

Thanks for listening and commenting.

very cool!
i like the guitar sounds! great usage of echo!
the whole piece comes together wonderfully!
great job on the drums, too greg!
wonderful tune guys! love it!

peacepiano said 482 days ago
Faelin-
Thanks for your continued support. The guitar is a straight GB voice called "sunburst lead" sometimes you can stumble on something that sounds good.

gregd said 483 days ago
Your keys . . .
got the goods.

Thanks to you for filling this tune out!

said 483 days ago
love it
cool idea! the sparkling guitar shimmers atop the percussion & bass - it's a swell combo and makes for a really interesting mood. consider me jazzed - anne

peacepiano said 482 days ago

I almost posted this in Rock Instrumental, but if you're jazzed it stays here. Thanks for listening.

echoroom said 482 days ago
echo'd
Love the guitar and the beats on this - this is a really nice evocative piece Bill, with lovely melodies.

Nice work, guys

peacepiano said 482 days ago
Steve-
Good to hear from you. I'm just back from visiting your latest. Some very nice guitars and beats there too. Thanks.

John Stebbe said 482 days ago
Echo
Your echo-effect, while simple in concept, really shines on this piece. And I really do adore the Wurly-like keyboard. I used to have a Wurlitzer electric piano, and it was a great instrument.

Guitar work is really good. I once hear Phil Keaggy in a solo concert where he used a live echo effect to accompany himself. This compares favorably with that performance.

A very enjoyable track.

John Stebbe said 482 days ago
How . . .
How do you get that date-last-commented to flash in bigger, red numbers? You go to your artist page, and some dates-last-commented upon have various bright colors. Must be some HTML magic that I'm not privy to.

John-
I got this from DeputyDoofy, I don't recall what the thread was called:

<script type="text/javascript" languaage="javascript" src="http://mywebpages.comcast.net/doofymusic/newComments.js"></script>

Its pasted into the very beginning of my bio section in Account Information. I find it handy for quickly noting where recent comments have come in without reading the dates.

peacepiano said 482 days ago
John-
The echos are a lot of fun to play along with. I will see if I can find some Phil Keaggy and check out what he does. Its always good to hear from you.

Ibstrat said 480 days ago
Very well done
Makes me want to try fooling around with some echo.the beat is great as well as the piano sounds.Nice job!

peacepiano said 480 days ago
Ibstrat
Hi, thanks for stopping by. Guitars without too much fuzzy distortion are probably the best for playing with echos, you might come up with something really cool! I'll be listening.

kristyjo said 480 days ago
I like the reverb-
I didn't get to hear the original version, but I really like this. The drums are great - they are mixed in there just right. The contrast between the shimmery guitar sections and the more rhythmic sections of the drums with the keyboard is good. It has an easy flow between sections, too.

peacepiano said 480 days ago
Kristyjo
The piano and guitar are unchanged from the original. There were no bass or drums in the original. The drum loop I started with was okay but didn't really add to the music once the piano and guitar were recorded over it, so I left it off. At first I could not come up with a bass part that helped the song. Greg agreed to put some drums to the song and after I heard them I got the idea for some simple bass to give the tune a little more depth. I'm glad you enjoyed the piece, with school starting I haven't been able to get much done lately.

nice work here and the echo effect gives a nice bright open air feel as well as a lot of clarity. Like this a lot, M

Thanks for coming back for a second listen. I'm glad I struck a positive note for you.

bonnieprincejohnny said 476 days ago
Meandering.
Kinda wanders a bit but it's definitely going somewhere. Where - I can only speculate but towards a resolving chord and... nope I guess I was mistaken no resolve - a fade out. Kinda unfocused but mildly engaging pour moi. Bon chance.

peacepiano said 475 days ago
bonnieprincejohnny
No, there is no dramatic resolving chord here. My next tune plans to have a resolving chord, but I can't guarantee how dramatic it will be until I get it all recorded. Thanks for the comments :)

drakonis said 474 days ago
shimmering and upbeat
Sort of a feel-good tune... the guitar is on the edge of that distorted saw-blade sound for me, but not quite over the edge, still enjoyable without being grating. I liked the intriguing melody and refrain, and there was enough changing throughout to keep it fresh. The deep bass throb was nice, not overdone, but added warmth. And the drums fit this quite nicely! There's room for a little sprinkling of something else here and there to add spice, maybe a synthy arpeggio bubbling up a few times through the song... but overall its like the perfect drink... well mixed and satisfying. :-)
ttfn,
Drakonis

peacepiano said 474 days ago
Drakonis
Thanks for the comments. I think I still have a way to go before I am confident with adding the finer touches, so this mix will stand for now. I am glad you liked the bass, its hard adding bass after the majority of the song has taken shape.
Peace

My auto email
notification system's no more. So I travel about and find tunes later than I'd like...sorry...

Nice piece, guys. Clear and wide. Drums are a nice touch...

peacepiano said 470 days ago
GuitaPick
Sorry to hear about the auto notification. Mine still works, but I sometimes fall behind anyway. And besides, its nice to get some comments after the first week. I was very happy when Greg said he would do the drums, I'm working on it, but my drum efforts still sound loopy.

bud said 464 days ago
This one slipped by me somehow
sure glad I caught up. Great collab from two really creative jammers. Nice work. Like the keys and drums a lot.

peacepiano said 464 days ago
Bud
Glad you caught this one. The drums do add a lot to the original tune.

kclements said 299 days ago
Nice use of rhythm
I like the use of the off-beat rhythms through out the piece. And the use of the delay really suits the piece. I haven't heard the original yet, but I do like the placement of the drums and the way they support the piece overall.

Nice work.


peacepiano said 298 days ago
KClements
I'm glad you like the rhythms. GregD has an interesting and artistic sense of rhythm.

gregd said 295 days ago
Bill
Came back for another listen to this one. You did a really nice job on this piece. I really like the whole feeling of it, very nice flow.

Cool.

Thanks for the second stop. I Leave up the better ones in case someone will stop by :)
