Hi Paulo,

Thanks again for the mp3. I am listening to it right now. Sheer beauty. Are you planning on uploading some new music in the near future?

Regards,

Michel.

Very interesting and beautiful music. I liked the reflective mood. I felt some kind of musical connection, I think we have partially similar targets is our music.

And yes, I am planning to add more tracks, but about the schedule I yet don't know. The journey continues…

Wish you all the best!

Hi Rocha

and thanks for the req! Beautiful stuff you got here! Reflective, melodic and emotional. I really enjoy the second half of "Monsoon Rain" and "Six senses". I imagine you get some inspiration from filmscores (as myself) and you really succeed in creating a great atmosphere in your music.

Keep up the good work! Would be great to hear more music from you.

Regards

Hi Rocha,

the same goes for me, I adore your work and I'd love to hear as soon as it is available as a cd or as downloads.
We are trying to finalise the "Songs of Love and Loss" project this year. We are recording the last songs in the coming months. For now it is all sample based, but maybe I'll add some real musicians to add more human touch.
I'll keep you posted!

You have such a strong ear for harmonies and melodies. I think your tracks can be enjoyed whether you listen to them quickly, or do a deep dive into it and really analyze the sounds.

Your approach to melodies and harmonies reminds me of Joe Hisaishi's style of music. Very nice.

My only comment for change would be to try to find a female vocalist for Monsoon Rain - I think it could make for a beautiful match.

I'm glad you posted the full "six senses" - the buildup is really well done, and by the time the rhythms enter in the second part it's a great feeling of release.

Thanks for sharing these!

Lovely mood you´ve caught here!

wow Rocha,

amazing music again...
This is stuff you want to hear again and again...and still discover new things in it.
Beautiful compositions where dreams take flight...
I hope you'll make this available on cd sometime (together with your earlier pieces).
I'm a fan.

this are some perfect pieces for a nice candlelight dinner. Very peaceful and soulful. Congratulations and my honest compliments rocha.

Hi Rocha, thanks for sharing your latest tracks. Extraordinary! You've made some beautiful pieces.
Great pleasure to the senses, mind and heart…
Keep informing me, friend, with your music. Do you sell it on CD by any chance?
All the best,
Richard

greetings rocha;
such a treat to relax to your calm meditative ambient soundscapes. i never tire of the sweet sounds of the sea & surf on "lagoon". i love your keyboard work & the vocals on "monsoon rain"; took me back to my fond memories of timeless visits to the tropics.

both "six senses world" have the effect of reducing myself, to the sensation of feeling my own existence in the world around me. it is as if there are no more barriers between interior and exterior.

feel free to check out my new addition; the track, "subterranean charm".
wind in your sails,
stephen

Hello Paulo,

Thanks for your message, but I had already noticed that you had added new songs to your profile and I had already planned a visit. But always feel free to drop me a line, because it's always worthwhile visiting your profile and listening to your music. All of them great pieces, but Six Senses World is simply stunning. A shame you had to split it in two, but I am glad to have heard it in its entirety. Are you planning to release your music on cd or as a download?

Best wishes,

Michel.

Hi Rocha,
I just came back to listen to your music...just to discover two new gems: Serenity and Innocence.
I am a big fan of your work, and in this big community, I think your music comes the closest to what I do...
We also seem to use the same tools (VSL, Symphony of Voices,..)
We must be kindred spirits...
We even made both a song called innocence with the VSL.
I certainly would love a cd with your work.

Wishing you all the best,

Jef

Hi Paulo,

Thanks for the kind words. I am listening to Serenity right now. You definitely know how to create an atmosphere with your beautiful music. I hope you will find the time to make some more.

Best wishes,

Michel.

Hi Rocha,
Long time since we made contact. How are you? Came by to vote for you and hope you'll find the time to listen to my songs again and vote for me too. I put my highest points on beautiful 'Peace' (my favorite), but gave my ratings to 'Oriental Night Skies' also.
Wish you much succes,
Richard
