hey boys best song so far. violins really add something to it along with acoustic guitar. ending is brilliant too. you know i was saying down pub that i couldn’t remember the tune of ur songs after listening- well this one is pretty memorable. good stuff
Hi Rob and Kal, This song is very catchy that’s why I love it so much can’t get it out of my head :) I love the violin and the guitar and the vocals what can I say but I love it! the ending is so nice I really like the last time you sing “The island without a name” then fade out with the oohhh…
Hey, sorry I took a bit of time in replying to you, I’ve been out of town. Thanks for the great feedback and keep an eye out in about two weeks time when we’ll be uploading this track with drums on it.
Hey Rob and Kal,
I like this song. When I hear it the first time I thought: Okay, too much “Oooohhhh”. But after the second, third an so on time using the PLAY-button I thought it no longer… Go ahead!!!
Hey Chrissy, I think perhaps the first OOoohh should be softer and maybe just one vocal so it’s not so noticeable. The good thing is that the vocals you hear at the moment are NOT the final vocals. Putting vocals on a track is nearly always the last thing you do after everything else including drums have been added. The vocals you hear at the moment are just a “guide” so that we can put all the other parts down. Do you think the violin works?
Not sure why, but I think this song would benefit with the addition of a more whimsical note to it, and the two options that came to mind was a female vocal riff… or perhaps a flute note floating over the top… it would enhance the idea of being away from it all “on an island”.
I know exactly what you mean and I think to a certain extent we have achieved that whimsical feel to it in our latest recording with violin which i’ll be uploading later today. I’ll email you when it’s up and will be interested to see what we should change/add from that. Great comments though and they have been noted!
Hey April,
We go back into the studio on Monday to record the latest version of Vedere. There could be some surprises! Could you explain what you mean about the guitar and the piano so that we can work on this in the studio?
Cheers, Kal :)x
Thanks for the compliment Katharina! I think this might be my favourite song that we are working on at the moment. I can’t wait to get drums on it at the end where it gets louder and builds so hopefully they’ll work. What do you think?
Hey Dena, Yeah the bass is an interesting instrument because you often only notice it when it’s not there because something is missing but you can’t quite put your finger on it! We have a drummer coming with us to the studio next month and will be adding some drums to this track to see if they work. I’m so excited!
Hey,
I’m not sure Rob and I had thought about percussion for this one, but I can definitely hear it now, from the part where it builds up towards the end at least.
Thanks,
Kal
Guys, this really sounds incredible. The piano is really intense but in an amazing way. I really like it. Not sure how much more work you have on it but it sounds pretty spot on to me. Nicely done.
Thanks Chris. This is one of my favs so far as well though prepare yourself for some changes to it in the next set of recordings. :)

Cheers Russ. We both like the ending of this one and it’s gonna sound better when we get Matt in to do drums next Friday. Stay tuned.
Now, hows about that drink?

hey, that’s ok can’t wait to here it with the drums :)
On this one and All I Ever Wanted, I can hear an oboe part in my head, either in harmony or in conversation with the violin.
Short staccato stabs in the second verse really bring this song to life. Now hows about some drums?

Hey Rob! The violin sounds WONDERFUL in your song! Thumbs up!

I think the guitar will sound great onece you put it together with the piano.

this song’s really cool! i love it!
GREAT!
i think it’s really amazing that someone can write songs. and even such great ones like your songs are!
Thanks for the compliment Katharina! I think this might be my favourite song that we are working on at the moment. I can’t wait to get drums on it at the end where it gets louder and builds so hopefully they’ll work. What do you think?
yeah! drums at the end would be very cool!
it’s also my favourite song of yours. :D
i really like the added bass. great song.

fabulous song i think its great, maybe add percussions, or cymbals. but what do know i just lisen to music not play it.

Cheers Marcus – there’s lots more to come!
Alright Kal, great site you’ve got here. I like simple stuff like this one! Keep it up.
Robin and Kal super music , I like it very much. Regards Steve
Amazin! Really like this one, esp the dramatic piano bit at the beginning.
Definately not enough dramatic piano bits these days…
Greetings from Canada. This is my favourite so far. I think in the part just before the end, both of you should sing. Good luck guys.
Thanks Chris. This is one of my favs so far as well though prepare yourself for some changes to it in the next set of recordings. :)

Lovin these tunes bro.
