Decided to play around with my new Bansuri flute which a bought in Nepal recently.. and look what happend.

Though I dont posses any Bansuri specific skills, I do know how to play a flute a bit. I really like the sound of it - warm and whispering, dirty and rough comparing to classical flute which I do like also, but this beast is quite charming in its own way.

So I learned something about Nepalese flutes...fascinating! Also realized that you are a friend of understatement - nice flute playing! The track is very cool...great bass-lines & percussion, indeed quite funky! Towards the end I was reminded of Enigma somehow. And I really liked the piano elements...jazzy.

Thank you, appreciate your comments. Any mastering advice would be nice, I am weak at that.

very musical, I enjoyed it. you managed to keep it above 'smooth jazz' sopor by the energy of the flute and the bass.

donno why you're worried about "mastering", it sounds good.

This track has incredible depth, like nothing I heard recently. Doesn't it fall apart in mono by any chance?

As to 'mastering', high-pitched sounds should be generally quiter than bass instruments and clearly they are too loud. The point is to get flat falling scpectrum on spectograph.

Hi Blackbyrd! This is very cool! great vibe to it and sounds very cool. Love your flute! Agree with jancivil about it not needing mastering...
Well done!

Was very happy to hear that someone likes what I did! It will definitely inject a portion of enthusiasm in my desire to compose further.

I have no idea, did not try that)
