Hi you all. This is my first work on micro BR and i wanted to post it here to see if someone could add some bass. I like this music very much the way it is, but i´m still curious on how would sound with a bass, something very soft.
Anyway, feel free to add more sugestions.
About the music, i used my acoustic guitar for all the tracks, and of course my voice and drums on the micro br.
Cheers.

I think a fretless bass would suit this very well.


possibly

Also, to my mind, I think you could almost afford to cut the guitar out entirely at some points and allow the vocal to carry it.

Perhaps at the beginning and the end - I think the vocal has such conviction that it would be all the more powerful for doing so.

i.e. the voice singing alone for the introduction and then the guitar coming in and before the end of the song the guitar cuts out and the vocal continues.

All right!! Great stuff, simple and effective, just what I was looking for. I love it. Thank you so much.
By the way, this song was made a couple weeks ago, before christmas, when a 6 months girl died in unexpected way, so it has a very special meaning to me.

xicpanad,

even though i don't know what language you're singing in or understand it - i think it's perfect. i would be interested in a printed translation of the words - but since this is your song - you are free to be as creative with it as you please. one suggestion i would make is - now that it is complete - put it back on the main thread so all can hear it. other than that - i think it is a very emotional song knowing what inspired it. thank you for allowing me to collaborate with you on it.
