Inventive indeed Although not, this has a Native American vibe to it. Luna, this is very creative of you. Excellently written po-em, Char Dave |

Awe Ful Truth wow you guys - wonderful collab here. Char - it's so GREAT to hear your voice!!! This has a cool chant-y quality - daniel you're just a genius in the way you've put this together to bring the most out of Char's words/voice. Keep it up you two! |

on a Tech note I wish you had kept the ambiance sound of the vocal throughout ..this can be done by looping a small section of "dead air " so the vocal doesent disrupt the song every time that char takes a break or when you chopped it up . I really like her voice and I love the instruments you used ...cool song ! |

Awe-ful Truth OMG, Luna, I just thought I was giving you something to play with. I wasn't singing well and I did only the one take. Your playing is moving, especially emotional. I am crying because of gratitude at hearing music from my words and melody more so than from embarassment. I could have sung a bit better but that was an honest first choice of a melody. You did me a great kindness. I never thought anyone would hear me. Heartfelt thanks. |

Very nice Char has a great voice...look forward to hearing more of it in the future. The backing music is really well realised too Cheers Steve |

Portishead ..the vocals actually remind me of Beth Gibbons from Portishead. Lovely stuff Steve |

Excellent! Congratulations, both of you! What a great voice Char has! And Luna Trick did a very intelligent arranging around her voice.This is just great. |

Char I think you (and Luna) have just proved something to yourself - you have a voice and you can sing As Steve said, a little bit Portishead. Char, one of the things I discovered here at MJ when I first started was that you don't have to have a perfect voice to be able to sing. In fact, having a "regular" good voice can be less helpful in developing a style than having a voice that is different. This track sounds to me like your singing is a little reticent, but I'm sure that as you do more of this, you'll find that you gain confidence and skill. One of the brilliant things about MJ is that there are often people like Luna who are more than happy to encourage and help out with musical stuff. Welcome to MJ - this time as a performer. Great to hear this. Neil |

Beautiful! I'm so glad Char found a way to join in our fun! She has a lovely voice! I got kind of a cross between Anne Lennox and Stevie Nicks. Very nice guys. |

it is a dark dream the music carries lyrics, as a river toward a waterfall of truth. the words are a painful revealed honesty. the singing is beautiful. it is perfect for the words. pretty, hollow sadness. the music is perfect as well. appropriate drone and sometimes dissonance. it creates tension and strong fixation on the word and song. i can lose myself in this in a minute. it is a joy to hear the voice of char. thank you lunatrick for the creation of this. 0x0 |

Wow Char's voice is great - and the lo-fi of the vocal recording seems to add something - very haunting. The production is excellent - loved it! Peter |
 | Moviz said 122 days ago |

Love the production on this and the haunting way you sing this with that great voice. The lyrics/poem by Char are very moving and with a lot of truth in them, love the blues feel you gave this with the way you sang, very atmospheric, regards M |

wow ... Daniel you win .... this Lady rocks and you got it ... dang it ... You are first!! : - ] |
 | drakonis said 122 days ago |

love it Char's lyrics are open and blunt in some ways, but thought-provoking in others, and overall, important. Also, it is super to hear her sing, yay! OK, I got a sneak peek at her earlier singing and poked at her to post, but Daniel pulled it off, great work you two! And Daniel, your music does indeed create just the right kind of bed to hold but not drown out her singing. Yes, the "melody" is a little repetitive, but in some ways that works to its advantage. I found myself listening quite intently to this sparse work... nicely done! ttfn, Drakonis |

Well Now .... .. I just got home and was pleasantly surprised to find this little gem waiting for me ... WOW you guys worked fast .... Char you sound fabulous ... Luna you definitely wove some great sounds around Chars Vocal ... Kudos to both of you ... and I too like the rest can't wait to hear more more more ...... |
 | Mystified said 122 days ago |

Char, I echo... ....what Neil (jiguma) said, so SING, SING, SING! :) Glad to hear your spreading your wings to fly.... Nice collab, you two!! |

absolutely gripping Haunting and minimal. Love the stereo effects. Tiny nit pick: it seems to end too fast. A gripping piece like this deserves a bit longer fade-out because I just wanted to savor that cello a bit longer. I love this. Fab work, both of you! |
 | EEFliess said 122 days ago |
|
wow!!! see Char? you CAN do it. this is very ethereal as well as haunting...reminds me of Siouxsie Sioux and the Banshees take on the Beatles' "Dear Prudence" |
 | egobandit said 121 days ago |

its very compelling your voice. Interesting lyrics and a great collab enjoyed! |
 | duhdewd said 121 days ago |

Great work! Wow! Char this is some great writing. And this is a wonderfully ambient soundbed for it. Great job Daniel, I really enjoy what you do. |
 | dajama said 121 days ago |

Wow Char, your voice sounds amazing on this - really heartfelt and soulful. I honestly think the nature of the recording through the pinhole mic gives this extra power. Wonderfully done. And LunaTrick, your instrumentation and arrangement on this is fantastic. I want more! Nicely done to you both. Kudos. Peace. |
| EEFliess said 121 days ago |

This is the voice you remind me of... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k_Qe8d95vCc this is Siouxsie and the Banshees |

nice debut ;-) Provocative words sung in an appropriate minimalist style. The accompaniment is artful with the juxtaposition of cello and kalimba. The panning on those instruments was good, perhaps a bit wide for the vocal in the middle sound-field, whose level seemed slightly low. It made the "outer" instruments more present. The melody was repetitive but that's probably the ambient style. I'd love to hear a bit more variety in your next songs; you have an excellent voice, clear as a bell. It's good to finally hear it! |

Who brought Billie Holliday?? Seriously! I love the fact that it's as heavy as it is but still has that kind of sultry jazz diva sound to it. It creates a really really cool dichotomy. I'm very impressed by the instrumentation as well as the great lyrical work! Brilliant stuff guys! |

Ok I can digg this. Interesting melody to acompany the vocals. Lyrics here are very well written. |

dark! I love the little pauses, it adds to the progression so much. good synth work, stellar voice work, brilliant in the way it's put together. good job guys! |

What a truly inspired collaboration. A lovely poem that was given wings. Char's voice reminds me of some of the great silky voices of the forties (not that I was around then). Would sound great harmonising. Well done Luna for making it happen so well. Congratulations on a great song to you both. Cheers Len |

Wow Wow, I'm impressed. Very moving. It has kind of an eerie quality, but filled with feeling, that's for sure. Great work here by both of you! |

how did i miss this? char's voice sounds great, and your instrumentation is perfect. i like the sound of the built in mic. a little noisy but works great with the track. once she gets a halway decent mic, she will be burning the place down. you guys sound perfect together. is that a real cello? |

wat This sort of felt like a drug induced trance or something. Very creepy. That's what makes it good though. Also, if you are ever feeling down on your singing voice, just remember you're still better at it than I am. |
Do more singing please
Nice work Luna and Char
