"Moonlight Meditations" (Secret of the Forest)

[Emunator]

Remix: https://soundcloud.com/emunator/moonlight-meditations-secret

Hey all, I've been hard at work extending/revising/wrapping up many of my old remixes right now, but in the meantime, I wanted to post something older that I never shared here before. This was recorded around a year ago in one take, 100% improvised, so there's an inherent degree of roughness/sloppiness to the performance because I was coming up with chords, melodies, and arrangement as I played.

I was in a dark place for most of the 2nd half of 2013, and this was the one of the only real pieces of music I was able to produce that year. I feel like it channeled a lot of the melancholy that I was feeling at the time, and ended up being very cathartic to record.

Throw this on late at night and enjoy the vibes, hopefully it's not too boring! I promise I'll have more new music incoming soon!

Totes gorge, bruh.

The emotions really come through. It sounds like the piece is saying "things suck, but it's time to pack this up and move forward." Very resolute and melancholy, I really dig it

a dark place is where a lot of us live, but don't forget, we have a limited time on this earth so you gotta focus on the positive while you still can...

I can dig the track.

I wonder if you can take the best parts of this, and rerecord it with a more purposeful arrangement. I like everything but, it meanders quite a bit. Obviously because it's improvisation. Everything sounds good in and of itself, but as a song each part needs to go somewhere. Now it does fit the meditation/ambientey category as it is now, just kind of musing on things, so if you want to market it as that, then I think it's okay.

Great piano tone and mixing.
