This song turned up in my head and out from my keyboard while I was installing Microsoft Office 2010. In this track I have combined three softwares: Sibelius 4 with Kontakt Player Gold (for rhodes, strings, harp and arrangement), Audacity (for recording my whistling) and Audiotool (for drums, bass, mixing and effects). Enjoy!

The string synth sound brings back nostalgia of the N64 days.

Oh and Potasmic, I'm referring to the place where the Rhodes is playing a melody line in unison with the whistling.

This is really odd. Now that I give this yet another listen, I've changed my mind again. I think I'd like to hear the whistling just a tiny bit more on top. It feels kinda weird to have the drums more on top than the melody. If the cymbals were a touch more laid back, maybe that would open up the pocket a bit. I don't know, it's a very small difference.

I disagree. If a layer has the same rhythm as another layer all the time, that'd be useless. I like this how it is now

There are times when I go back to some of my old posts and cringe, and this is one of those times. The bridge is great, not sure what I was thinking there. I still think the Rhodes should have followed the whistling's beat placement on the melody, (not the comping) but the timing otherwise was good. And I feel silly reading my explanation like you didn't know what laying back was. Ah well, this one's a classic.

I'm back in 2005, playing the original Sims.

I would buy a ticket to see a band play this, or Frigo clone himself into 5 copies or something haha
