That is really rough. I am glad you were able to put that piece together to honor him though.

This is a really deep, contemplative yet vibey composition, I’m also sorry to hear about the loss your friend.

Guitar does come in at :03. I think maybe that’s what you’re talking about…although piano is present throughout too. I’ve not really uploaded a video to Youtube before (so I hope this works)…but I deconstructed the song so you can kinda see the different parts in my workstation. Link below.

I assume you mean the sound that appears at 1:04 and will repeat during later bars. Yes, that is via electronic keyboard and specific “soundfont” or “tone”. Everything in this song was either done with an electronic/midi keyboard or a live guitar. No samples from other songs were used.

Thanks! All of it is original composition. I do use samples in some of my music, but this one has no samples.

Yep! I have a midi keyboard that I use for most of the melody and percussion. I have a Focusrite Scarlett that I use to plug in my guitar and/or bass guitar to record live. All tracks are recorded through the DAW I use (Mixcraft).

Thanks! Much appreciated. I also followed you on Youtube. That’s a cool vibe. I really like mellow, contemplative tracks like that.

I also have this thread opened in a new tab, just in case someone comes back with an answer. I thought they were flairs, but when I tried to add various “badges”, nothing happened. I’m just going to guess that this is an upcoming feature with a placeholder.

I’m so glad he survived, but I can’t even begin to imagine what he is going through.
