Original music: "Take Me Away"

I have a track, called "Take Me Away", ready to share. It's about the feeling that makes you want to go somewhere far. Yearning and anticipation for change. Here's the Youtube video for a quick listen, but there are download links below too.

Here is the audio in the uncompressed AIFF format. The file size is 68MB. You may get an error that says "Your browser is unable to play this audio file", but when you download it, your computer will be able to play it. Most computers can play AIFF.

And, here's the same track in the AAC format. AAC is like MP3, but supposedly better. This is much smaller and it's 10MB. Choose this if it's for your phone.

I'm releasing this under Creative Commons (Attribution). Please feel free to use it in your videos, presentations, events, dance, etc etc. Don't forget to credit my name, though;) I won't mind if your interpretation of the track's message is different from mine. I probably won't. I'm an open-minded brother, guys.

Stems

I want to share some "stems" of this track here. A stem is like a part - for example, the drums part, piano part and so on. And we use the term stem to mean a sub-mix of similar parts (as opposed to the mix of all parts). Like, piano and guitar can together make a stem, and drums and bongos can make another stem. Stem and part are be used somewhat interchangeably because the line that separates the two is defined differently from person to person.

So, here's a stem from this track, containing the synthesizer arpeggio you hear at the beginning.

Here's a stem of drums and bass combined.

Here's a guitar stem, here's a bass stem, and here's a drums stem.

All of them are a phrase of 16 bars, although for the first one, I left a 2-bar worth of space at the end so you have a naturally-decaying tail. The rest are exactly 16 bars in the BPM of 124, ready to be looped as they are. Please feel free to remix the track with these parts. Put them in your Ableton, or Traktor, or GarageBand, or what have you.

Thank you for reading this post. Have a nice day!
