Description : so this is something I've been messing about with for a couple of days ...just wanted to see if I could do something at a speeder tempo but still be downtempo....

I struggled with the intro because I didn't want to make it too dark... I have a tendancy to do that sometimes... I wanted to keep it light and airy...

the bassline still ain't right but .. I might go back and tweak it later...

I made thing whole track in reason5 and encoded it in audacity to mp3...

any comments welcome as always

What a special ambient...nothing wrong with the bass...gives tension for the song...your pads are stunning and the 'slow' and 'fast' changing is so nice...

Congrats and I'm happy to know your musical artwork...

Respect, Danke

Thank you for allowing downloads,

Great job letting the sand settle on this one.

I particularly like the minor 3rds and 2nds on this.

I think one thing that Trent Reznor had a knack for is the b7's and then pushing them into the major, which I think you pulled off here effortlessly.
Drums are exceptional.
I wish I could play my drums like this.

Levels feel perfect.
The dubstep/reese is very very nice.
I wish I could pull it off like you can.

Goddamn I love those off-notes.
A lot.

Soo perfect how you reiterate them into the mix ...

More ride maybe? Right at about the 6:00 mark...
Tsh tsh tsh, with the loop playing... I think it would lend itself to the visceral appeal of the track.

Sick in all the right ways man.
Well done.
I will be burning my AbePod out to this one.

Great soundscapes, really love the atmosphere. Could really be a cinematic tune aswell. Nice progression through the track, it's long but it keeps moving. The piano sounds a bit nin-ish and the whole reminds me a lil of ghosts tracks.
Great production man, faved for sure.

Subtly is a hard skill to master, will admit to that.
Panning/seperation is good, but those clicks may be need to be refined, maybe some subtractive eqing somewhere inbetween the 4-8Khz range and up the lower 400-800Hz range.
The bongo cut in the beginning was a little loud and needed some reverb, maybe automate the reverb to come in at the end of the bongo cut.
Same with the synth near the end, a little loud but this time maybe a delay to give it a louder and complex feel throughout (when not loud) whilst it plays.
Sub is good, though I would either hit the 150-300Hz range subtractively or up the 30-60Hz range ot hit it more belly wobblin' bass :)
Nice atmosphere, keep it up man.

If I had been listening blind I would have put money on it being simmerdown (until the beats came in). Nice change. The whole track doeshave a slightly insettling, sinister feel. Progresses well.

Great stuff! This is some very good ambient music. I agree with Spiv that this track is also cinematic. All the elements work together nicely. Thanks for sharing such a powerful piece.

haha nice my friend!
If your gonna add the wolf howl like 3n0 said, maybe you can also look for some spooky church bells or something ? t
they usually go great together!

Other than that I don't really have any criticism for ya...
I loved the intro man it was really good (just like the rest of the track.. lol)

add some wolf howl at begggining!!!!

first 3 min sounds dark (scary) like something from horror movie remindes me of movie dog soliders...

i think you should keep the track mood as it is...

you did a great job here!
