A sax riff and a groove

https://soundcloud.com/nominal6/chateau

I like the middle section best. It's hard to fit this into a genre, but I really like the mood of the piece. I like the snare-less tom sound you used for the backbeat.

I really enjoy the blend between fast moving arpeggios and droning sounds in this track!

Cool, very enjoyable. And deep bass!
The sax isn't real is it? Though sounds very convincing to me.

Thanks for the comments !

@spamatica It's from the Linplug Saxlab2 plugin. The deep bass enters at the right time, with the high-pitched long synth notes.

@oscillator The arp is neat, as the rather fast playing behind it, to create that effect.

@milo Not having a snare adds to the evasive comfortable feeling supported by the deep bass. Having these two different parts and making a piece out of them is a bit strange. It gives the impression that there's a greater story that what's told by what could be an excerpt of a larger picture. Could be part of a 'concept album' of sorts.

It's a sax but you made it sound like bagpipes. Very nice!

The saxophone by itself is not that bad (pursuing the idea that bagpipes were created to scare the enemy) but the underlying synth here and there does sound like it, especially at the end and it's probably why it lead me to choose a castle-related theme.

Wonderful music! Saxophone parties are breatheble, I listen few times, excellent work!

Now there's a sense of déjà vu to that comment. The saxes on this and on "Wish" were provided by Saxlab2 from the now defunct company Linplug.

Hi!

Well this was a surprise! The simple sad melody and those introductory drones take it to a whole other place! Nice to be surprised like that!

Thanks ! I should be back on the guitar soon.

A nice, meditative experience. I love the FM-like, percussive elements moving all over the place and the breathy, reverberated vocal sound. It's so ethereal!
As ever: thanks for sharing.
Best wishes, Jeanette
