Description : Draft 2, mixing this one is a bit like trying to cram an elephant into a shoebox though!

It should be a long and ongoing battle, but I'll finish it eventually, lol.

This tune is savage yet melodic at the same time. I'm a big fan of that style and try to do it myself sometimes (with limited success) Love the phatness of the drum section and dig your melodies. I'm glad i found your page again because you do some blinding stuff. How about we try a collab sometime?
Be good to have you show yourself on the site again. It's a bit dead round here just lateley.
All the best,

Hey Koukotsu!

What a track, I really like the synths, which are constantly changing in rhythm and progression, also wicked drums ,bass and transitions! Great work and great track, fav. this one!

Thanks a bunch!

I still need to work on the mixing a bit (the bass is a little out of control at times!) but I'm very proud of this one!

Thanks for stopping by, I'll come pay you back real soon!

Thank you! For draft 3 I think taming that crazy bass is in order, it's a bit too gritty at times I think.

Really glad you liked it, and thanks for the fave!

Sojobeast took the words right out of my mouth, "allergic to cardinals ?" haha! I do like how you used an everyday event for the title.

Hey K, this is cool, no complaints here. I'm sure if you rework it you could tidy things up but overall it is a very good song idea with some nice dynamics, well done!

Hi there!

I've been tweaking it a bit in my spare time today, but mixing this one is like trying to cram and elephant into a shoebox, lol.

Alergic to Cardinals?
lol, that's one of the funniest alergies I've ever heard of! Sorry, but it's true.
Sounds like you're taking it out on cardinals with this sound. I really like this tune though. Waiting for more to come.

Hi!

Sorry to take so long to reply, I've been having some computer issues lately!

And yep, I was attempting to capture the essence of those ferocious feathered fighting fiends, that's why it's a bit on the rowdy side, lol. Plus I've been listening to a lot of rock albums lately.

Thanks so much for reviewing, I finally have some free time to devote to repaying everyone now!

Thank you!

I'll probably be getting back to my softer sound real soon, I've just been on a "hard" kick from listening to so much Rock music lately, lol.

Thanks again, I'll come by and review a few more of your tracks when I get my work out of the way today!

Yeah there are a few parts that a seriously cluttered, I should definitely use a "less is more approach" for this one.

Thanks for the review!

Description : I continue the hybrid procedure of creating music. This is a relatively recent song of mine that after the in DAW processing it was used as a prompt with certain guiding choices to AI machine. What was produced was di novo imported into the DAW to be blended with the original recording. It ended to a long music piece which I believe can be of interest to the listener. I hope you will enjoy this listen. I think Rocking Ambient describes well the genre.
