Tyrian TwilightAll-Acoustic Tracks, except the bass. Couldn't find an acoustic bass track that wasn't too "boomy". I had no idea what to call this after I finished it. For whatever reason, I remembered a continuing education class I had to attend to keep my certification when I was still working. The name of the class was simply "Color Coordination." It was brought to our (the attendees') attention that Tyrian Purple was one of the rarest and most beautiful colors the human eye can see. It's also very, very expensive to purchase anything with the dye needed to create the color, as the dye can only be created using an excretion of some sort from a snail found only in several areas of the Mediterranean Sea. OK - class over! Hope you might find the song almost as pretty as the color. Song Summary – Tyrian Twilght * I changed the original guitar backing tracks from those in the style to the ones in this piece, as listed below. * I also added the BrushesPop8ths as secondary percussion (very soft in the mix).

Alan, This is beautiful... I really like the track selections and the fiddle leading the way is just perfect. I love the arrangement - sophisticated with touches of Pop, Country and Jazz. The bass sounds great and the inclusion of the brushes really anchors and rounds out the sound. The song title really fits.  Bob

As beautiful as any Tyrian purple. Excellent use of the tracks. I agree with Bob that those brushes add just the perfect touch, and a boomy bass would be too much depth. The mix is just right (as Goldilocks would say). Guitars a re the perfect accompaniment.

Alan...you chose my favorite instruments for this lovely piece...fiddles and acoustic guitar (like bread and butter) the perfect combo to convey a soft acoustic texture and palate...pleasure to listen to!

Always surprising movements between your selected chords, nice adventure to places you cannot expect to see. Tyrian purple and the SoundCloud picture are strongly reflected in the mood, I hope you didn't pay too much for the dye  . The acoustic arrangement is lovely, calming music. Janne

Trying to balance the acoustic guitar tracks required multiple attempts and numerous trips to the Multitrack function, which is a fabulous tool. I still, think the right-side guitar could be just a tad louder. But, by design - for contrast - the tone is much brighter than the left-side track and could be annoying in a couple of places when adjusted louder. Thanks again. Alan

Alan...you chose my favorite instruments for this lovely piece...fiddles and acoustic guitar (like bread and butter) the perfect combo to convey a soft acoustic texture and palate...pleasure to listen to! Good Afternoon, Dan ... The acoustic guitars and soft fiddles are, also, among my very favorite tracks. Over the years, I've posted 7 or 8 Interlude pieces with just guitar and fiddle, for the most part. I appreciate the kind words. Many thanks! Alan

Thank you very much for all the wonderful comments. I often enjoy playing around with atypical chord patterns/sequences. Often, as is the case with this song, I just make up the chords as I go. I'm delighted you enjoyed your listen. Thanks for letting me know. Alan

Alan,
Pretty and melancholic composition. Has an interesting artistic distinct / non-generic feel to it. Clear mix. A bit too much fiddle for my taste, but listens well. Thank you for sharing.
Misha.

Misha. Hi Misha ... Yeah, enjoying a fiddle is a variable factor across the listening spectrum. Glad you enjoyed it anyway! Take care! Alan

Lovely piece...the slightly rough edge to the violin gives it extra texture and makes it cut through the mix even more.
Cheers

Magical. Simply magical. Words cannot do this track justice - at least, none of the words that I'm capable to write, anyway. Took me somewhere else, somewhere over the rainbow where things are nice and people are good to one another. Thanks - NEEDED this, this morning.

Alan,
Wonderfully done! Calm and soothing, as I imagine a viewing of Tyrian purple would be in a lovely sunset. Production is top-notch . . . like others I think the brushes were a perfect choice here, which along with the bass and that warm fiddle carry this super song. If I had one nit, it's at the one minute mark and 3:08 mark on the stops. I find in BIAB for whatever reason the guitars sound a bit louder and harsher on the stop . . . like they strum that one note extra hard. So my suggestion would be to lower the sound on those guitars just a tad to soften the stop . . . if that makes sense. Real minor and most likely a subjective nit, but offering for what it's worth. Excellent work on this!
All my best,
Deej
