Topic: Vie de Plage.. A recording

Hi all
Now Summer is almost memory (well in the UK it is) and Winter is almost upon us once again. Just a little musical taste of languid days spent near the sea with just a hint of edginess thrown in for good measure tongue
Guitar etc all recorded and mixed with Magix software.

Re: Vie de Plage.. A recording

Ark - both my son and I think it has a slightly middle eastern or maybe Indian feel to it.  Very cool, tranquil, relaxing.  I can imagine a day at the beach.  I think the steel drum would go great in there!  OH... have you done anything with a steel drum sound in it?  I'd love to hear something like that from you!

Art and beauty are in the eyes of the beholder.
What constitutes excellent music is in the ears of the listener.

I really  enjoyed listening.

Thanks Ark.

Re: Vie de Plage.. A recording

Vie de Plage, Interesting name for a song Ark big_smile: What does it mean?
I get a feel of watching thundering waves crashing on a beachhead and anticipating the coming winter blahs. But that is just me. lol

Great mix and arrangement as usual.
You should take a stab at some lyrics and vocals on one of your projects. My bet is it would turn out as good as your music.

Don't think I've done any thing with steel drums in the percussion. Though I can see where your coming from with the suggestion.
Thanks for taking the time to listen amd comment.

Vie de plage is french for Beach life. Just sorted reminded me of the southern coast and the Mediterranean...
I have done songs with words  smile and warbled a bit in the past. Just got out of practise...
Thanks for your comment.

Re: Vie de Plage.. A recording

hi ark,

just had a listen [left you a message] excellent piece of music, it shows off your skills as a musician, a composer and a master of mood!
it reminds me of a turkish chill-out session, booze and belly dancers!!!! tongue

love it

Hi Phill
Thanks for the comments here and on Soundclick.
I used a guitar with some FX for the melody..
I reckon you and daddycool must think alike with images of belly dancers smile
All the best
