Artist's description:
Now here's something for the melodylovers. ;)

Made via my company for a performance, therefore "by SpinMedia" in the filename. I'm SpinMedia. In Norway anyway.

The arrangement may seem a bit strange I suppose, but as earlier stated, it was handmade for one special happening, publish it here to maybe get a tip or two on what I could do with the arrangement.

edit.
Judging by the reviews I think some explaing about WHY I chose the arrangement I did is in order.

The show was a guy riding a bike on a wire over a somewhat big crowd. Quite spectacular, really! The intro (which wasn't originally intended to be released but is now also available among my other tracks) was meant as a buildup for the audience. Something like "Whoo, here comes the supah act"

Then comes the main track. He gently rides the bike toward the middle of the wire. A girl hanging on a trapeze under the bike gives us all a nice show. When the track builds down to just the heartbeat she is sitting still on the trapeze and he prepares for a blindfolded handstand on the bike. Cue just heartbeat. It was all for dramatic effect, really. Then draw breath, cue drums and we've got the "he's okay"-feeling rolling. Rides bike back to ledge of house and fade.

So there you have it. Now to remix this and give it a bit more useful arrangement. :)

A nice melodic tune with nice sounds and leaves you with a great feeling. Airy and clean. Works very well as background music while sitting at the computer. It awakens your calm and creativity.... Read full review

This is a nice relaxing and peaceful song. Maybe because it was composed for a specific event, it doesn’t stand out from other pieces of the same genre. On the other hand it’s quite enjoyable when... Read full review

thekhin - Art Of Balance (main) Hard to explain and review this song. Easy listening, nice parts. But, at the end, it left in my mouth a bad flavour. Maybe the artist want this... and I haven't un... Read full review

A cool background tune, maybe unbalanced between the length of the intro and the part where the beats come in but, huh, you stated the reason. Nice job. Do you have some sort of "Renoise for dummies" handbook I can borrow? :D

Nice chillout piece - reminds me of the pocketwatch theme from "Once Upon A Time In The West".
