Description

Hey folks!

Illuminator/Rich made this song especially for me!!! It's jazzy shmazzy and was really fun to sing on.

Rich- "For those interested, the music is a mix of loops and MIDI played instruments. The bass and percussion are loop. The piano is a modified loop. The sax, guitar and organ are all software instruments played by me on Synth."

Linda- vocals, lyrics, yadda yadda yadda

Let me know what you think :-)

Amazing track!
It is always really exciting to discover new tracks of exceptional quality, and this is certainly that! The deal-clincher in this song is the voice; just spectacular. A wonderful instrument, and you know exactly how to use it. It's got a really cool vibe happening. I really think it would strengthen the overall effect to lose the MIDI sax and get a real one in there. Maybe a MacJammin' sax player would be willing to collab with you? That would be awsome, I think.

Great work all around, and thanks for posting!

i agree and dissagree
Yes me too except the part about the sax. I have always thought the keyboard sax was a little lame but i think its used perfectly here. It fits the scratchy loops creating a contemporary feel. The voice is so warm and the instrumentation so cold. Amazingly rich in contrasts. Its like as if there was a scene in a jazz club in blade runner or something.

Familiarity
I realize now that I recognize you from another site that you music is on.
I should point out that I was an accountant in a past life, lived in my mothers basement, watched a lot of Star Trek and had an unatural infatuation with bunions.... not likely anyone you would know in any dimension or alternate reality.

Playing music is much more enjoyable if there is someone there to listen.
