Wade Cheers Johnv. Yea, I know lots of (mostly) useless scales and modes. Nice to find a fit for one. +0

Wade Thanks funkystan. Such a strong mode/mood from Zamzam you can only follow and if lucky find a way to add to it. +1

Wade Very kind of you to refer to "technique and fluidity". I'm consciously trying to fit the playing/sounds to music that is very un-sax-like. Good ears! +1

Pit Brett excellent playing wade!
you weave beautiful melodies in the rhythmic braid.
Sounds a bit too far for my ears, but I think its hard to get in front, or the middle of zamzams brilliant sound.
Amazing track, my friend :)+1

Wade Thanks OliVBee. You are of course right about being a little low in the mix. The recent stuff I've done where I'm "weaving" have within them an experiment. I'm occasionally leaving out notes or small phrases which fade behind the rest of the track which (I think) engages the listener to hear a continuing line that's not actually there. It only works when the level is low. There are upcoming tracks have better examples. Similar to using silence which either separates, or begs the listener to hear something that's not really there. In the same vein I love playing with just one other instrument, preferably bass. The gulf between these "one-note-at-a-time" instruments can engage a listener to hear chords and lines that aren't actually there. +2
