This is a re-release of my first song with improvements.

Update: Wanted to upload a revised version to clean up "dirty reverb" around the middle of the song. It's only some minor tweaks to improve my mix and that's about it. Had to subscribe to SoundCloud Pro to reupload the song. The revised version was made back around August of last year.

Car-Free Village

The Grid. A digital frontier. I tried to picture clusters of information as they moved through the computer. What do they look like? Do they look like Epcot? Is there a lot of vegetation? What about waterfalls? Ocean cities? Beaches? What about forms of transportation? People walking in streets? Were the circuits like monorails? I kept dreaming of a world I thought I'd never see.

And then one day, I got in.

Update as of 5:35 PM Central Time: Replaced song with a version that brings up the bass instrument to be in line with the rest of the instruments.

Update as of 4/2/2017 12:06 AM Central Time: I've humanized the drums just a bit, but want to keep timings tight at the end of the song. I tried to keep my song more balanced with all instruments playing, even though it's a bit difficult as I like to keep the volume of instruments the way they are. I've weighted Mike's criticism (over at TheRecordingRevolution.com) detailed below my post, but I'm not comfortable about going live with drums and all the instruments (all MIDI-based) except tambourine and that's about it. I like to keep a balance between "it sounds like it's played by a drum machine" and "it sounds like it's played by a real human drummer."
