Topic: The Climb

Hi
I recorded this a few months back and have it on ourstage. It's doing reasonably well.... well for me  smile
Pure ambient no guitars no lyrics just a slow build of multi tracks along a theme..
best listened to with earphones or a decent sound sound system.
Just thought I share..
Thanks ark.

Re: The Climb

Very nice Ark. So much going on but it all fits together nicely. Very complex piece of music. Reminds me a bit of Mike Oldfield's work.

Re: The Climb

ark, i wanted to write more last night, but my curry was calling. that arpeggio riff kept playing in my head all night. the bongos were just right. in fact the whole piece is teriffic and worthy of a film sound track.

Re: The Climb

Thanks for the listen and comment Graham.

The piece had about 8 or 9 tracks so it was a bit tricky to fit together Jeff thanks for the listen and the comment.
(Mike Oldfield) Thats not to shabby..  smile

Phill glad you like it. It's really only a simple melody the mixing was the hardest thing.
It's best not to stand in the way of a man and his curry...   lol
Thanks for the listen and comment.

and thanks to all those that listened or triggered the counter over 25 they didn't comment..  and will remain nameless.....  lol

Re: The Climb

This is a terrific piece of music, really sets a mood - like Become Ocean..  but someless less nuanced.   Still great, however!  As I listened more and more I also couldn't help but hearing this as a backing orchestral track to Anna Nalick's Breathe.   You should be very proud of this effort!
