I also really like Winter Dance 
It reminds me some sounds from Alan Parson (Project or production).
As talented as usual!

Here are some more - I never was much for music videos for some reasonā¦
Mixed by another of our good buddies, Andrew @ColdRoomStudio :
One of my favorites: (BG vocals by one of our buddettes, @Emma )
Another of my favorites!
And of course, āItās A Hurtā from the bashing thread. I thought I bought it on BandCamp but canāt find it anymore. (?) Itās on this forum somewhereā¦
Rock on Patrick!!

Hey guys! Thanks all for the kind words! Iām doing my best with my vocal to make it sound half good. Not really a singer as such, but Iām working with my limitationsā¦
Iām pretty happy about this one too, when it comes to production:
As to āItās a Hurtā, Iām going to release it later as a single, Iām still unhappy about the snare sound during the chorus on this one and need to work on thatā¦
Iām trying to concentrate on promotion ATM, and have decided to release a new series of videos on Youtube that I think youāll find interesting:
You might not learn much from these as I will not be going too deep into the multitracks of these iconic songs, but Iāll try to make it interesting to everyone, from newbies to simple music lovers/curious. But I think it will be fun. Iāll publish one new video every week starting this saturday, so hit that subscribe button if you want to see that!

Thanks for the heads up! Feel free to post links to those videos on here too. Thatās the kind of content that incoming beginners and intermediate folks will love to see!

Will do, thanks!
I have already 15 of these videos, as I need to be able to keep a steady pace.
Chicago, Talking Heads, The Cure, Norah Jones, Huey Lewis & the News, Alanis Morissette, The Who, The Police, Cindy Lauper, Santana, Queen, The Kooks, Blondie, Dire Straits, The J. Geils Band.
A lot more comingā¦ spanning many genres and era.
The idea is to be found in searches with these bands and songs, to grow a following and later to be able to push more indie stuff, talk about the music industry, do some reviews and interviews.
Itās all about gaining some influence with the āregularā public, to be able to push less well known music and artists that need more recognition.

Nice! I have a confession to make. I finally got the connection between the icon/avatar and āghostly beardā. For a long long time I thought that symbol was supposed to be a Batman flying saucer or something, the middle part being the āwindshieldā. Ha, I figure a few people will get a big chuckle out of that. 
But in my defense, itās one of those Rorschach test things ā¦ you see what you want to see.

I agree it looks better as a ābat with earsā.

@ptalbot hey manā¦ can I ask what software that Rhodes sound came from on āHow Does It Feelā?

Hey Jonathan! I generally use Applied Acoustics Lounge Lizard on my tunes, but I think on this one Iāve used Spectrasonics Keyscape, perhaps both actually, as I often layer Rhodes sounds with something else.
Iāll check later and will tell you exactly.

I found the icon and licensed it from https://thenounproject.com/
What I like about it is precisely that itās vague enough that it can be seen as a ghost or a beard, or a UFO or a bat or whatever you want to see in it, like a Rorschach test.
I chose not to show my face as a reaction against our selfie obsessed society and use this logo for all my communication. Also, letās face it, my face wouldnāt be selling much nowadays!
Iāve had countless people asking me to do tee-shirts with that logo, which I might do one day. I just donāt feel too much of a tee-shirt retailer thoughā¦

In one of the videos, I canāt remember which one, there was a guy walking and he had a mostly silverish beard, so I assumed that was you. Thatās when I made the beard/UFO connection. 
Give the people what they want! 
Ha, most people try to sell people stuff they donāt want by marketing the crap out of it. You have a ready-made market lining up and demanding supply. Why not sell shirts and other merch and donate the proceeds to your favorite charity? Maybe even the indie music recognition project youāre working on. Itās a cool logo, I think youāre onto something.
Nope, not me. It was an actor. Actually some people are actively searching the internet to find pics of me. They are stalking me on FB and other social medias, but Iāve never published a photo of myself 
Yeah, Iām not saying I wonāt do it. Just that it wasnāt a priority. I think the logo looks cool, so I will probably do something about that of these daysā¦ There are various online sites that can be used to build a merch store with no initial funds and no stock/shipping headache. They take a big percentaqe of the price though, so it ends up being pretty pricey for fans. Iāll have another look after I have that new video thing rolling.

Since Iām French, Iāve used this little guy in a couple of video interviews (and the tee-shirt is a limited edition that my daughter gave me!):
