Glllllllitch
Glitch acid beginning, lovely hiss style glitch. Some really cool lo-fi sounds in there, me likey. Experimental, verging on the unlistenable, would love to hear this devleop into something, what, I don't know. Perhaps some crunchy guitar riff/loop would add to this, some nice sub bass as well?
I think It's crying out for a melody of some sort, something to develop it, maybe just a drum line in double time would serve the same purpose, who knows...
Good shit, always enjoyable.
Wellathankyou! I think the operative term in your review is "verging on the unlistenable" =)
I may break this into chunks, rip a few samples and loops from it and use those in another track. I was really really wanting to put vocals in this but I just couldn't find the inspiration to write anything decent. Everything that I came up with felt more like an afterthought than anything of substance... Oh well...
Always nice to hear from you - I value your opinion.
Later!
Nice Pad
like the record crackle, like the ambient pad progression and the constant thum pof the drum, shame the pads drop out, ad they were the best bit in my opinion, this could easily go on without the kick and be turned into a chilled 3-4 minute peice of ambience, that subtley evolves and grows.
Nice stuff, shame about the length.
Thanks Bastard. I just thought that it would drag on a bit if i continued them but im glad you liked it.
Haunting
Soundtrack style minimal ambience from a scary chiller movie. Atmospheric, but not enough ideas throughout to keep me interested all the way through. That said, if it were put underneath a scary animation it would definately work very well.
Thank you Mr Bastard. You are one of my musical heroes. I can only hope that somebody uses my music in an animation (except me) but oh well.
stringy.........
rather lovely piece you made here, has some nice emotion to it thanks to the use of the strings. Bad loop though, should've done more with it. Almost exorsist esque, but not as good as tubular bells:D You have created a very subtle piece of good music, that is ruined by it's lack of direction imo.
Talented, but indecisive
The final piece will be far from indecisive, for this is merely the beginning of the entire track. Im not going to post that however. When its done, (and if you ask nicely ;P) i will show you the whole thing.
Im trying to make money off of my music, so posting whole songs for people to download for free is just silly ^^
LP
glad you liked what little i had XD
lovely
really nice piece man, from the attacked synth to the melodic xylophone sound. Good use of panning too.
Not a fan of the phaser, so that sound doesnt do it for me, but it fits well enough. It's reminiscent of sigur ros, with a more electronic edge. The beats don't really live up to the rest of the trk for my ears, they could be developed a lot better. It's a nice tune man,worth a donwload:D 5'ed
yo kb, sorry for the long wait for a reply, bit of free time now being a bum again.
Yea i had time to burn on this track, took like 2 weeks off of work so really put my back into this. the xylophone sound is from rhino, crystal features on here too. it isnt actually a phaser on this track tis a good old flanger, bit of delay, overdrive and reversed. oh ta on the panning.
The drums were meant to be more of a supporting element of the tune rather than it's drive. haha another sigur ros compliment, wintang always says it. i can hear it, but i can't say im necessaryily influenced by them, you know what i mean, you just make what you make.
anyways cheers man.
nice
Terrible title, great song. The breaks are a little weak, if you want to make a statement with them dropping I would suggest them being far more in-yer-face, properly compressed and distorted a little to give them far more clout. I actually think the beats are un-necessary, they get in the way of a really good ambient piece, no real need for them imo.
Good stuff.

MmmHmm...alright, I was kinda doubtful in the beat anyways, either way, I'm done with this project :P
-Thanks for the review!

Lovely
quite lovely. I am a big fan of the acoustic guitar, i love playing it/hearing it, it's like therapy for me. This is a lovely piece, well played and interesting, i'm guessing it's not an original piece though? hence the tab link?
Thanks - it is an original, I just felt like tabbing it out. If it was by someone else I would've credited :)
Glad it could soothe you and thanks for the review, I'll review that track of yours in a minute.
Great...
reviewing as I listen.... starts off nicely with afx style strings a'la the girl boy ep, good sound to them. It's a smooth piece of work. I think the beats could be sharper, perhaps some eq'ing/light distortion and compression would help them stand out more? I find the main body of the trk a little too reverbed/middley, it doesn't quite have enough punch, would really entice the listeneer if it were a little more in-your-face produciton-wise. The little distorted melody line that comes in is superb, relally adds to the mix. It's a very well crafted trk, soild production and a full, well-rounded sound to it. Enjoyed it a lot, had it on repeat a few times now:)
haha yeh, the string section had a bit of influence from the boy/girl song. i agree too that it was a bit muddled overall (with writing/mixing), as i've said before i believe i was being personally a little too ambitious with trying to have a bunch of tracks and write in 5/4 and all that.
thanks a ton for the review!
I don't get it
I like to think I understand the idea of making things musically challenging, so I appreciate The sound, it's superb, clean and poignant, but the time signature change seems like its put in there because you can, rather than because it makes for good listening. I enjoy it, a lot, don't get it perhaps, but good stuff nonetheless, doesn't have that killer line though, it's a trk to listen to once and be impressed, then ignore imo.
The tempo changes are in there for exactly that reason - I could, so I did.
If you listened once and was impressed at all then it's served it's purpose.
Some of the experimental stuff works - some of it doesn't - you know how that goes - I imagine that something like this could be either cleaned up, added to and extended or shortened up for use as either a transition piece or filler on a CD.
Thanks for listening though - and thanks for giving me your honest remarks.
Maybe the next one will be catchy enough to stick in your pants and wiggle around for a while :D
nice enough...
...boring though, seems very quiet. Not a lot to say about this trk, it keeps on going, but never gets anywhere, desperately needs some lyrics/vox.
yea, i really aint all that good with this fruity loops thing.
but about that quietness. . . .
turn up the volume?
