Two is all I have! Your music sounds really professional, and the singer sounds really good too.

Kajsa is awesome! As we don't have a lot of time what with life and everything, she picks up things really fast, nails a 2nd harmony in minutes.

I would like to give her more time, let her voice grow more. She is really fantastic!

Thank you!

Hi @oscillator , as always your music speaks to me. I love the almost timeless opening. Before the drums come in it has the potential to morph into anything and then you still go and surprise me.
The harmonies and arrangement are great. I love the latest incarnation of your session/ensemble. Up to the end, I had been waitiing for the deep bass to arrive.
Very lovely vocals! You work so well together.
Best wishes, Jeanette

Very lovely vocals! You work so well together.

Kajsa is as always great! Although I had a lot of problems integrating her voice into this arrangement. I don't know why. Maybe I just should have written a stronger melody?

And as always, thanks for listening and commenting, @jeanette_c!

I think the atmosphere is great as usual, as is Kajsa's voice. I like the distorted electric e-piano sound and the arrangement; if you found it hard to work Kajsa's voice into it, it must be because it is very interesting on its own. Great as usual! As a fan, I am never disappointed

I will pass that on to Kajsa! She needs the boost because she is awesome!

The distorted piano was my take on some old Depeche Mode (guitar) sounds. They had a great period of soundshaping!

Great soundscape as always: you managed to give a recognizable identity to this project, which isn't an easy feat!

That comment makes me very happy, as of lately we try to get outside of our usual "frame" yet still preserving the Dreams of Seagulls identity.

When working on other project inbetween, and then going back to Dreams of Seagulls, you bring other stuff into the sound, yet I try to get into the feeling of this project.
