Home Sweet Home

It always feels good to come back home after work, or particularly after an overseas trip, where your family welcomes you back, where your family pet would greet you at the door, and where you can let go your worries and fears because all that you really need is within your home..

Enjoy this track! Home sweet home!

First of all, I must apologies for the lack of photos here. There's only one photo (in case you didn't noticed). I didn't have enough time to gather the pictures. Hope you guys wouldn't mind too much.

About the music, it was a product of a relax track that I was working on. While playing the first few bars, I felt that it has potential to exist as a separate short track song in itself. It came as those inspirational moments when you feel that whatever you play will be good. However, though I personally feel that the beginning phrase of the song was particularly good :P it kinda slack in the middle.

Well that's about it. I hope you guys enjoy this song no matter. Remember to subscribe and like this if you enjoyed this song. I promise to deliver better tracks for you guys!

I  hope you guys find this track more relaxing, calming and peaceful than previous background music tracks. I learnt something new over the past few weeks. Setting reverb and chorus to high, and lowering attack can create the calming effect, and this certainly brings up the mood. It isn't really difficult to do so, I should have done that for previous background tracks.

There are actually two different yet similar tracks playing at the same time. One is the grand piano sound, the other is 'swirling electric piano', according to Garageband. I simply copied and paste the notes and played them at the exact same time. You can hear 'swirling electric piano' from 23:45. It has a calming feel by itself, but I feel that it lacks the percussive sound. So for the other parts of the track, I added to grand piano to create that percussive sound. Think it sounds better?

Oh and by the way, I also added some nature sounds like birds singing, water dropping, waves etc. I feel it certainly complements the mood of this track.

Lastly, hope you enjoy this track! For more of such tracks, don't forget to subscribe!

Instead of an exact hour long music track, this time, it's a half and hour track. I might continue to post more half an hour tracks instead of a one hour track instead in future. I found out that people don't really listen to the full hour anyway. On average, about 20 minutes in, they would close the browser. So I figured half and hour would be best. I'll still see how it goes though.

One benefit for shortening the length by half is the quality. With the shortened time, I'll be able to spend more effort in improving a part compared to an hour long track! So basically it means more interesting tune and smooth flow!

By the way, I don't expect anyone to watch the full hour tracks as..it isn't really meant for watching that long though. I encourage it to be heard when you are doing a task, or working. The beautiful photographs are there for those moments when you decide to take a break from your task, you can switch to the browser and admire them! That's how I intend for them to work. :)

I hope you enjoy this relaxing track. Similar to the last two relaxing tracks, they're taken from florent courty!
