Something different (dedicated to my dying mother)

I made this for my mom, while she was in the hospital. I flew to Puerto Rico the last week of December to go on vacation. 9 days later, she got gangrene in her feet, so I rushed hger to the hospital. To make the long story short, I flew back January 14th. I then had to go back there on February 13th because my girlfriend called me to tell me they amputated one leg. I flew down there to visit her. I forgot to take the CD with the song. Anyway, my time runs out and I return to the States in February 17th...10 days later she passed away and I didn't find out until a month later. I feel very sad because she never got to listen to it. :( I hope you guys like it...it's not professional sounding; it's just special and I've received great feedback because the song follows the title. It's not trance...it's like kinda trip-hoppish...she loved that rhythm, especially with indian flutes and jungle sounds. :(

my deepest condolences :(
I just found it really awesome how you are using the music to represent your emotions (after all... that's what real producers/composers do right?)... The song is very chill and relaxing and I feel like I'm in some faraway exotic place...
Production-wise, I do not see anything wrong with it and it seems pretty good (although I don't really listen trip-hop ambient music)
Keep up the good work, and thanks for sharing mate! |

Thanks a lot, kewl guy. :)
I did it entirely with an E-MU Xtreme Lead-1...recorded straight to the M-Audio Delta 1010 using Cubase SX 1.06 as sequencer; nothing else...I was pretty satisfied with the production quality. Like I said, it didn't sound professional but that wasn't the idea...it was just how I was feeling. Anyway, thanks for the input and the condolences. ;)

Sad story, it must be the worst thing on earth :(.
Anyway... The track has a nice tropical vibe init, love the breakbeat style. The harmony is very nice as well.
Keep it up, and stay strong. |

I'm glad you liked it, DJPrototypeX...and thank for the kind words.
Yeah, she was going to suffer a lot...imagine...no legs...and my dad is 74...I'm here in the Army so I wasn't gonna be able to take care of her...my sister neither...it was best for her to leave with God. :) I miss her too much, though...:( |
