Just something simple I wrote and recorded for a girl I really love. I haven't been around much, but I wanted to share this. It was a real quick recording, two tracks, one take each.

Just beautiful! I don't have much words to describe it but I can say that I loved it.
Please upload more stuff.

Your way of playing the violin is exceptional.
By listening to this track I find myself in a world of elves and dwarfs. A world full of joy, happiness and free from worries. Your girlfriend must be like that.
In my opinion your song could also be named "Dance of Elves"
Thanks for uploading

Classic , all the way through on every level ... not exactly a classic song but a classic tune, sound and feel.
Most people, not necessarily around here, play music to sound like music , they tend to try so much .... but not you Taka, you play and it is, you make and you are ... the real thing.

 Keep on waving your magic wand, all you life ..... Please  

Taka you are without question a born songwriter/musician. Gifted..

May your new found love inspire you to write more enchanting music like this precious episode.

Thank you so much for sharing this with us

Thanks guys!

I don't know if you've ever watched Fire Fly, bu this would fit perfectly in that show!

This is such a simple but effective acoustic piece. Wonderful. I like this celtic touch of it. Very clearly and clean played. / recorded.
In my mindīs eye itīs like Iīm sitting in an irish pub, drinking my pint, talking and joking to people, playing darts...........................................

Holy crap taka!!!! First off I haven't been on the amp in a while but to come back and see you've uploaded something new is absolutely amazing, BUT THEN I LISTEN TO IT!!!! AND I DROP DEAD. NINE TIMES I DROP DEAD.     

Taka this is beautiful. Absolutely beautiful. I wish I could even come CLOSE to your amazing ability to come up with pieces of music. All the other commenters are so right. People try too hard. Its not music when they make it. This was music. This was beautiful. I hope you never stop writing and never stop uploading and sharing with us. Your music keeps me alive. About 2 years ago I went through your music collection on the amp and downloaded anything that would let me and put it all on my MP3 player and I listen to it all the time. Its just brilliant. Thank you so much.

And AfterBirth: you are absolutely correct. I love firefly and this piece instantly reminded me of that show 

Really great composition, it could use a little polishing but there's really something great here. The openning phrase is really lovely and I have to echo what AfterBirth said, it fits well with Firefly (the theme has a similar modulation). The end could use a little work but what you've got here is really something. I think you could expand and maybe build one more section but I wouldn't change much to the instrumentation--the simplicity really makes it. You might consider adding a little guitar or similar strings.

Rated and downloaded. Hope to hear more!

Can't help but smile. This made my night. Thanks Ben.

So much nerve in that track. So not my style of music but never the less I listened with lot of attention.

If I should come with any suggestions - still without claiming to know this style of music - it would be to find some inspiration in the Norwegian traditional folk violins (sorry don't know the name) that has some strings under the ones you stroke and makes the Fidel sing a lot more. I think that could be perfect for this track as it would blur the endings of the stroke a bit which I think would make it more gloomy and mysterious.

Beautiful music!  It sounds very happy

If I was the girl I'd marry you!  I'd buy a CD full of this!

always a fan Ben
