Roberto B (@mgxloop and @volt5000) and I are glad to present "Never Let Me Go", as track 5 in our new collaborative album of 2022. This is, in fact, our first song (after many joint instrumental compositions), acknowledging gratefully the use of a beautiful voice from the MAGIX vocal samples, selected and integrated by Roberto B.

The track was created in collaboration on 3 February 2022 (initial mix and recording in GarageBand and Logic Pro by Alex M) and 4 and 5 February 2022 (subsequent additions and final mix and recording in MAGIX by Roberto B), and posted here on SoundCloud on 5 February 2022 (by Alex M).

The artwork cover for the track uses an abstract image created by Alex M on 29 June 2021 (in Tayasui Sketch in Mac OS), then cropped (in Mac OS Preview), on 30 June 2021, and annotated with text by Alex M (in Mac OS Preview) on 5 February 2022 - in coordination and agreement with Roberto B.

Thank you, and our anonymous MAGIX vocalist, for our 1st - inspired and spontaneous - collaborative song, Roberto!

Duration: 7:01 minutes

Never Let Me Go - Roberto B & Alex M

I have always admired music, of diverse styles. Like most of us, I have tried learning to play a few instruments at a basic level in my teenage. But it is only now, in the 21st century, that modern software allows anyone to fool around being the composer, the designer of a whole composition, simpler or more complex, organising together the parts of the various instruments - and to hear the results of this experimentation or inspiration instantly! That is how I have recently begun enjoying the distraction of attempts at composing during my leisure, discovering an amazing dimension of life, and art, perhaps the most intangible, heightening and hypnotising one, and the closest to the soul... (21 August 2017) ... Forgot to mention: music is for sharing - that's why we are all here! (4 September 2017)
