Great sounds man! And the artwork is super nice! Can you tell me who did it please? Thanks for sharing! I am at the third listen for Midnight Fireworks - love it!

Very cool!! Really well done and mixed. It almost begs for a vocal line or guitar melody line?

Posted by: Taka Perry Jul 18 2013, 11:13 PM

Thank you The artwork was done by a friend of mine, who goes by the name of Dranoel. You can see his work on his https://www.facebook.com/artbydranoel



Thank you very much A lot of people tell me this. I was actually going for a post-rocky sound in this tune, which tends to focus on the texture and rhythm, rather than the melody.
