Any artist is welcome to send us a track via freshonthenet.co.uk anytime between Monday lunchtime and Wednesday evening (or when we receive 200 submissions, whichever is sooner) - and all our moderators, including Tom Robinson, will listen to every track. This is our full inbox from the week beginning Mon 15th April: from Friday afternoon you'll be able to hear our shortlist and pick your favourites on this week's Listening Post which will appear at freshonthenet.co.uk/batch525

If a track you submitted does not appear in this list, it’s probably because another of your tracks appeared in our Fresh Faves during the last three months — we ask that artists featured on either wait three months before resubmitting to give others a chance.

We also don’t accept short previews or SoundCloud Go tracks that can only be heard as 30 second previews, and tracks made private after submission, which cannot be included in playlists. You will be able to resubmit the track in future. Tracks (and remixes of tracks) that have been previously submitted, and tracks from banned artists will also be removed.

ENTIRE INBOX: Batch 525

“Promises” is a gentle, heartfelt piano piece dedicated to loved ones who are no longer with us. The contemplative yet hopeful melody is inspired by the promises made in their memory. The song features soft, intimate, felt piano tones creating an air of peaceful reflection.

Promises

Can't Get Close

Daybreak

The song is based on a poem by Percy Bysshe Shelley, the husband of Mary Shelly, who wrote Frankenstein. The theme is the transience of power, a topic that is also very relevant today.  Accompanied by acoustic guitars and the sound of a mandolin, the song has a folky mood.

King Of All Kings

Created with various samples, Serum and Push 2.

The download is free ;)

The Journey

The Journey (Extended)

A reworking of the traditional folk song The Broom Squire's Bird Song.

Taken from Slow Galley's Drift's eclectic Broken Field System EP which also features an improvisation for film; an acoustic folktronica track; and a chanson-inspired piano piece.

Recorded, mixed and mastered by the band at Three Galleys, Sheffield.

Katō Kyōtai was a poet from Nagoya who entered the world of haikai in 1759. His work shares with Buson a careful observation, not just of nature itself, but also of the complex emotions and reactions that characterize human existence.

Furnace in waves-naviarhaiku541

Hey, I've been recording a commissioned album using my new Ronroco (got it a month ago in Argentina and did my very first recording right [there](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zJBdmS7yqtk)) 

Now it's on my studio along with a fellow, old Ronroco I had and a little brother, my charango.

I have to record 5-6 pieces using mostly that instrument with eventual appearances of other instruments and the other two (ronroco+charango).

This prompt gave me the idea of an ambient track, there's this technique of strumming the instrument, widely used on South American folklore, that produces a steady drone, no rhythm just the sustained strumming.

I recorded several tracks of that, along with loads of reverb and delays and some simple arpeggios .

There's a low filtered brass drone (sample libraries) but this is 99% the ronroco droning.

The track started this early after noon is finished now, and it's still day here, so a true day-drone for you.

Cheers

if i was thirsty would you bring me water..or would you leave me dry

if i was hungry would you try to feed me ...or would you let me starve..

if i was sinkin would you try to save me ..or would you let me drown

if i was thirsty would you bring me water


still waiting , waiting for you 

im still waiting , for all the things you said youd do


if i was flying would you try to ground me ... or would you leave me high

if i was broken would you try to mend me ...or would you let me die

if i was too warm would you try to chill me ...or would you let me fry

if i was flying would you try to ground me


still waiting , still waiting for you

still fucking waiting for all those things you said youd do

now i see youre no fiend to me 

now i see youre no fuckin friend to me ..
