Not at all, Norm. In fact, thanks so much for being technical. Baiao is a preset pattern in EZD from a collection called "Cocktail". I just stumbled upon it in the planning stages of this tune and it seemed perfect. I YouTubed some Baiao vids. The rhythms are infectious. Thanks again!

The song starts off as a minimalistic ambient piano piece but grows gradually into a full-blown instrumental with world music and even jazz elements. The song was partially inspired by Sherry Horman’s 2009 movie Desert Flower.

Lovely! Naturally, the percussion hooked me right away. I love it.
"Baiao", from a clave perspective, is "calypso", in that it repeats the 1st bar of "son clave", I.e. 1 2+ 4, over and over.
I don't want to be too technical about this, but wanted to give you some feedback that from a percussionist perspective, this is a solid piece of work, with a rhythm that gives a nice flavor - from Trinidad or Brazil. Well done!
Admital - the main guitar part for this was written and recorded for last RPM (shock horror!)but I had to give up on it when the file corrupted. Managed to salvage the audio though so rebuilt it around that. This year I managed to mix down just…
Awesome, I wish I had more time these days to keep up with everyone. This one was beautiful, tender. I wish the vocals were just a bit higher in the mix... my ears aren't very good. :D
Are we learning something new every day? It used to feel like I forgot something important every day. Did I know that you loved me? Was it love that you owed me?
