New instrumentals....

Hi Ark,

Good work as usual, I particulaly liked "Lunar Spirits" even without a guitar lead. I like your new look MySpace too.

Arkady, this is lovely music.  Your creative wings have really spread.  Man, keep playing with your software - it has obviously stimulated your creativity.  Your new direction is great.

Your instrumentals remind me of the music of Oregon and the Paul Winter Consort.  The oboe-like melody line on 'Lunar Spirits' is wonderful.

Couldn't find any good stuff by the Paul Winter Consort on YouTube, but here is a lovely arrangement of "Icarus" for 3 guitars.  Ralph Towner (on 12-string here) was a member of both Oregon and the Paul Winter Consort.

Here is a fabulous live performance of "1000 Kilometers" by Oregon featuring some dandy English Horn and a dandy double bass solo:

Hey Kenny
I did enter High tide this month in the channel "Techo and Ambient" and was lying a about halfway up the charts not brililant but not to shabby either.
Then suddenly get this email from ourstage saying it's been "pulled" from the channel and dumped into the "Instrumental" channel with the loss of all the votes so from being around 50th I'm now 607th.
The say "The Fans" commented that the song was not suitable for channel it was in so they moved it.
Maybe it was in the wrong channel but they took a pretty long time deciding it was and noway was I going to recoup my lost votes in the rest of the month. So I withdrew it from the charts feeling abit peeved with it all...
Saying all that I probally will enter them next month and see what happens.
Thanks for you comment.
Ark

Sounds like you got a raw deal there Ark.Kinda bizarre they'd wait that long to pull it.I'd enter it next month for sure as it is a real nice piece.

Hi Lena
Nice to have you back on Chordie again.
Got some new stuff to play with (On the computer) and Luna Spirits is the first result.
Thought I do up the Myspace page to match the mood
Will send you the MP3 via yahoo..

Old Town is a new guitar piece for myspace and my first foray into Videoing myself playing.

Thanks for your comments as always

Hello Arkady, I just listened to your songs and I actually think they all sound good but I have to say my favorite is Arthur. Good job. Smelly about Sound stage. I actually just found out about SoundStage a couple of days ago. I hope to be adding a tune at some point in the near future.
Good job!!

I tend to lean acoustic but I am a classic rock kinda guy. I just don't have classic rock talent. 8-)
Seriously, It just depends on the song. My stuff is usually bound to the instruments I have available. (Just a few)
But generally, I would say they are rock based. But what do I know. I only write 'em!! 8-)

Oh.....I might be posting that song tonight. I will keep you posted.
