Hey everyone,
Can't believe it's already week 2 of this amazing initiative!
As always, it is an honour and a pleasure to be a part of this incredible community of hivesicians.
The name of the song is the direction I was going for. For those of you old enough to remember, there were two very famous chillout DJ's, who would produce albums every year. One was Buddha bar, and the other, Cafe del mar.
For me, when I think of chillout beach music, that's what comes to my mind.
They were my inspiration for the song, though as it is all acoustic, it's a different vibe a bit..
Anyway, as always, hope you enjoy. If you like making or listening to good music, then make sure you check out the initiative @ https://hive.blog/music/@hivesicians/let-s-jam-or-semana-2-week-2-or-tematica-playera-beach-theme-or
If you like it,make sure to reblog, and tell all your musician friends about it. The more talented, creative individuals, the better.

Okay, this was beautiful. I love people who record and layer loops like this. I'm sharing this to Minds.com
I gotta ask about the gear: What kind of microphone is that? And the box you're using is that a looper or an interface? I think it's a looper, but I'm not familiar with that model.
I have a DigiTech JamMan LoopStation pedal, but I mostly use it for recording stuff I come up with on guitar.
Wow, thank you so much!! For the comment and for sharing on minds.com
I use a cakewalk external sound card, that's the silver one that connects the looper to my conputer (so I can record.)
If you mean the small box on the floor, it's a ditto looper. It's only has an xlr, phantom input. No PL cable input (for digital instruments). So it's a looper only for acoustic instruments (and singing).
Its the simplest, cheapest one I could find (at the time, 7 years ago..) it has no other features. Just record, loop, repeat..

Makes adding and removing layers more tricky, I can't change tracks once I record over them. (unlike the boss looper, and all the rest).
Excellent ingenuity my friend. I'm familiar with Cakewalk's DAW(I think they were actually purchased by Gibson Guitars), but didn't know they had sound-cards. Either way, great job.
I'm currently producing part two of a video series about music production using Linux. It's mostly about making digital music, but I personally play guitar and bass a bit.
Just curious, where do you hail from? I get the impression maybe Scandinavia or Eastern-Europe?
Oh wow, super cool man!! I just made th switch to Linux a few months ago.. Now, all my video and music production is done on Linux... That so awesome!! Where can I find your series? Would love to watch that!
I make a little digital music too, was without my instruments for over a year, so had to do something...
We actually moved to Portugal (with my wife and son) last September.
Originally I was born and raised in Israel, my parents both moved there from the UK, Wales to be precise...
But, since I don't believe in nationality, I define myself as a cosmopolitan... 😅😜
Where are you from?
DS-Tech Media is the name and my videos are up on Youtube, Dtube, Bitchute, and LBRY.
Wow what are the odds that I just happen to find you via music and you're also a Linux user? I use Linux for everything too. Some of my stuff is done using Android which is still actually Linux.
Born and live in US. How was Israel? What is the common language there? I'm guessing you are multi-lingual? Portugal also has it's own unique language too no?
I can't believe it, you're a genius at making music. I really listened to your two appearances in the "Lets Jam" and both gave me a lot of ideas to dance (I'm a dancer), your creations are incredible, don't let anyone make you think otherwise. I really hope I can continue to be inspired by your music and maybe think of doing something together, a pleasure!
Oh wow... Thank you so so much for you kind words and compliments..! I don't know what to say.... I'm so honoured and touched that my music can inspire you to dance! I never would have expected that... Its just about the best compliment I could ask for..!! To inspire an artist to create is one of the best things we can do in life, (I think).
I really hope you continue to be inspired too.
I would really really love to collaborate with you on a project.! That sounds incredible! ! Let me know any time what you think or if you have any idea.
Your comment really moved me... (pun intended?) I'd love to see some of your dancing if you have anything on hive.
I'll check out your profile now.
Hope to hear from you soon...
Have a wonderful day, as you have made mine.
Brother, this was just amazing! I would love to sing something on this track! I really loved the whole process, all the sounds that you put in here, thank you for your enthusiasm and energy!
Hope to see you on every week of the LET'S JAM! Your content is really valuable for us! Not only on #HIVESICIANS but for the whole #Hive platform!
Oh wow brother... Thank you so much!!I would be honoured, and am touched that you would like to sing on the track.. For sure man, if you want the file I can send you, but if you want, we could write another original together.. Wither way, I'd be down to create anything with you.
@dimeshana said she dances, maybe we could work out some collaboration the three of us, have a hive project born from the platform, by the people!!
Either way, I will continue creating on this amazing platform man.. It means more to me than I can tell you...
