Hey there! So... This is my last track for 2017! A track made specially for the new "Bronies for Good - Seeds of Kindness: A Healing Touch" album which was pretty short, yet amazing and very touching. To end this year with a charity album? What could be better, heh?) This time I've tried to focus on funky basslines, straight and punchy. Even though I've used acoustic guitar (with nylon strings, that was new for me), the main focus is still bass-guitar. First - the intro with natural harmonics, then the bassline itself plus percussive slap sounds (instead of drums, eh) and the solo parts, including the actual solo, which has pretty funny and interesting chain of effects on it. And of course this track has some latin jazz feel (just a tiny bit, mostly in B part of the chorus), but, well, I like this mix of styles. Should work a bit more in this area, heh ^_^ And the idea of this track... Well, eclairs are awesome! Muffins and cupcakes are good of course, but eclairs are cool too! Sure you all know who makes the best eclairs in all of Equestria, right? Some ponies even tell that eclairs from Pinkie Pie's bakery have some mysterious powers: eclairs can heal depression, anxiety, can fix a ruined day, a broken table or an empty stomach. Somehow eclairs make ponies smile, can you believe it? I wonder if Pinkie adds something extra to them... "All you have to do is take a cup of flour, add it to the mix and there you go..." (2:17). Hm, I would never believe that this therapy can help (in fact I couldn't even believe that such thing even exists in Equestria!), but... Hay, wait a minute, where are my eclairs?.. Ugh, gotta pay another visit to Sugarcube Corner, excuse me, brb =_= ________________________________ Artwork by dearmary.deviantart.com Download the album: https://sok.causevox.com/ Also check out the re-recorded version! https://sdreamexplorers.bandcamp.com/album/ephemeral-ii-parallels ________________________________ As I said before, 2017 is coming to an end, I have many plans for 2018, you all know (hopefully, heh) that I'm working on an EP and...
