Hi, I'm spanish amateur musician, and I'm a progressive rock fan since I was very young. I'm very pleased to show you a little work I made years ago, but until now I had saved it on my hard drive.

Lovely, even without the drums. As a musician who has tried to lay down drums as a non-drummer, it is difficult and never seems to sound right. Your track grows very well. More please.

I really appreciate your comments. There are not many progressive rock compositions in my channel, and I really don't understand why. Maybe is because do covers is easier and grateful for visitors.
I promise I will upload more of my work in the future.

I've made the drums for several songs (non of them are updated yet) and I'm quite satisfied. But for this song, I was waiting for a real drum record from a friend. Is a pity he didn't.

I love that synth solo too, both sound and melody :)

Hi,
To be honest with you all, given the bad state of music today, and the metronomic nature of the majority of all the drummers out there, I'm just glad to see ... no drummer! If we can tell Mike Portnoy to drop his ego and stop doing bad metronome impressions and consider himself a great drummer because of it ... it would be nice!
It's the worst part of the DAW age ... no one can do anything without a clock anymore ... how socially important it must all be, to do it like everyone else!

Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told! www.pedrosena.com

This. I've done songs with some of the best drummers in the world. They will play without a click, but it's like pulling teeth to get them to do it. Sometimes I make a 'fake' click track that goes along with the free time piece of music and send that to them. It used to be they'd never be the wiser and would just play along. Nowadays though, everybody can dump tracks into their DAW and line everything up on their grid. "Hey, you're stuff isn't exactly synced up!"

..... it's just (muuuuuch) easier with a clock, especially if you work alone (many layers), and even for a band recording. Then, I think it pushes some of the feel out, but that's OK as long as you do a lot of LIVE PERFORMANCES

Really good synthesizer solo. My favorite part is the low-key intro. There's very creative harmonizations and melodies which together build a beautiful positive mood without being cheesy.

Having drums is not a law. It works well also without.
so I just have to imagine any textures I want.
