Nice piece! I really like the tension the guitar brings in at about 2 minutes... and again at about 3 1/2 min. Also cool how you break it all down at the end.

Cool sounds mate.

Cheers.

Am liking this one. Wow. Solid changes.
A lot happening in 2 minutes 10. Great stuff John.
Real easy. Nice and smooth.
Glad I found you. No one tells me nothing. Lovin' the new direction. Now, I'll listen to the rest :)

Cool mix, booms.
It's really pretty, and I love the seasonal effects. Groovy percussion!
spectacularly strung out but definitely not stressed....nice one ...good style synth and keyboard work....ta Jarvo
Nice textures and chord progressions!
Magical, sparkly and bright!
Loads of movement and changes of pace and I like the wind motif that runs throughout..... Jarvo
Happy New Year, Johnny! Refreshing sounds - beautiful melodies.
Love the melody in there Johnny. I like the bird song as a sign of hope even though the wind is wild. Beautiful instrumentation.
Great to hear some more stuff from you!
Nice one man! Very interesting
Nice one man! Love the tension that comes into play in places
This is a very evocative trac. I'd love to see some video or stills synced with this as a video.
Nice piece! I really like the tension the guitar brings in at about 2 minutes... and again at about 3 1/2 min. Also cool how you break it all down at the end.
Inventive and sweet - love the slow groove.
