For A Friend

A tribute to the magic of true love and friendship. If you like this and can relate, please share it with someone you care about.

The original piano and guitar duet is called Still Solace by Scott Tibbs © 2004 Roland Corporation and is one of the demos in the Fantom-XR synthesizer. I took it and added lyrics, vocals and several tracks of percussion. Video clips licensed from www.pond5.com.

Don't worry fans, the doom, gloom, and weird modular synth vids will return soon! ;-)

Thank you for watching, rating and commenting!

you made this with the fantom xr

?

@babar141: Hi!

Yes, just the "main" part of it, the guitar and piano parts. I didn't even write that part of it, it's just one of the factory demos! ;-) If you do a Google search on 'fantom xr demos' and then click on the first link that is for the RolandUS site, it will load their demo site for the Fantom XR. Then click the Audio link, it will start playing the demo I used (titled Acoustic & Piano there). Might be fun to compare the original with what I did.

Thanks David! I love that Giant song!!! I wish I could have done the same sort of vocal, just a solo voice instead of several layers, but I just couldn't pull it off. I had been working on this piece for a LONG time on and off and just really needed to get it finished.

Thanks Martin!

Lovely piece John. Gave me chills. It sort of reminds me of a Gentle Giant tune - like "Think Of Me With Kindness". A real treat for the ears and warms the heart. Thank you for sharing this with us.
