Oh neat. That makes for one thick sound! LOL Thanks for the offer to see the score. But unless your wanting me to play that line specifically, it's not necessary.
Peace & Love

Hello again David, :)
You know I purposely did not ever listen to much of "Desert Dance", because I did not want it to color my own take on the bass line I created for "Zenkov Beat". But I just listened to the whole song now, and really enjoyed your take on it. Very middle eastern sounding. I like how all the wind instruments join in together for the last part of the song. Whatever instrument is playing the bass line is simple in it's approach. But the result is very effective with all the instruments together. It gives it a feel of you never know when the bass line will change notes. And that was the last song I've listened to on your profile. All them got 5 stars except for "BooBoo" that got 3. Thanks for being in this world and creating great music.
Peace & Love

Hi David, :)
I've been listening to the songs on your profile, and I'm just blown away by the beauty of your songs, and the quality of your musicianship! So far, I've heard "Midwinter Melancholy", "Goddess Posse", and "Zen Dream". And they are all great!!! I love mellow music like this. I've been into New Age/World music for many years now. So it's really neat to hear an unknown artist create some amazing music. You could easily sell this music. Have a look at Magnatune.com. You'd fit right in there with all of the other amazing artists.
Peace & Love

I especially enjoyed Midwinter Melancholy. Thank you!

Thanks for your comment. I know I never should sing and that just destroyed this song... but most of all I'm a songwriter and I really wanted to put the lyrics in it...
Anyway I really appreciate for all your words! Your tracks are really good! I feel a lot of your heart in there and thats beautiful. I'm not use to listen that kind of music but after visit your profile I will 'couse it's really really nice and good. I love to discover new type of music and thank You for this one. Sorry for my english!:)

Thank you so very much for the nice comments you have made about my music. Actually, I made everything on my page by myself.

Really like the Krumhorn Dance track. I was wondering what instrument that was. It's always nice to see musicians keep some older music alive!
