Laid Back – One To Put Your Feet Up To and Relax

Playfio Music Productions
This is the first chill out track that I attempted to write for some time. The track has been half written for a while and has been sat doing nothing on my computer. I definitely knew the track was missing something, but I wasn't quite sure what. The basics were there, but not enough interest, either vocals or something else would need to be added.

Recently, I stumbled upon a self taught pianist who was on the lookout for new projects and potential collaborations.

I contacted Angela and was pleased to find out she was interested in combining our musical talents on a number of tracks.

I do own a keyboard (MPK mini – not sure if a quarter of a keyboard with drum pads constitutes a keyboard!) – Anyways, my piano skills aren't up to much, so this was a perfect opportunity to get some quality piano work on some tracks.

The track is entitled laid-back, and it is exactly that! This is the definite music that requires you to put your feet up and take five. Angela sent over a couple of versions of her playing piano over my track and then I set to work using mainly Cubase to split up the piano into a number of different layers and produce what you can hear today. Enjoy listening:




We are both happy with the results of this track and are currently working on a second collaboration.

‘Laid-back’ may eventually have vocals added, but I am keen to share this track now.
