Chrysanthemum - Koukotsu

10th Jul 2011 02:13 - 15 years ago
Description : Sounds a bit like a... Chrysanthemum?

How is that possible?! Anything is possible when I'm involved, lol.

This one is a lot closer to my typical sound, without the experimental "edginess" of some of my newer endeavors.

As usual, it's hardly complete, but functional nonetheless!

If you have time take a listen and give Koukotsu some feedback.

Lovely piece. I agree it has your "signature" sound and I like this one a lot. I hope to get back myself soon to Looperman but this is my fix for a bit. :) Thanks.

Thank you!

Hopefully I can get my laptop fixed soon, until then this one is lost, lol.

Thanks for the review!

Like it K. Like that deep bass and the awkward melody. Very chilled. I can see tha AFX influence. A bit Selcted Ambient Works 2 only more happy and slightly uptempo. Good job.

Thanks!

Sadly, my good computer finally died on me and took quite a few good tracks with it, including this one!

I'll get it working again one day though, lol.

Thanks for the review!

This is so chilled. But got a fabulous edge to it at the same time. Love the change ups from the synths. Normally i have more to say! but as im writing this and listening to your track....i really dont know what to say! Love it, wish i could make something chilled, boppy and mellow, like this!!

Thanks!

The last couple of tracks I created were a bit on the rowdy side, so I decided it was time to tone things down for this one.

I'll come repay you as quickly as I can, but I'm getting really far behind now, lol! I've been busier than usual lately and don't have quite as much time to dedicate to this site as I used to.

This is really cool! I really liked the ambience of the melodies. Great synths and an awesome rhythm that flowed effortlessly throughout the whole track. A sea of calm!

Totally brilliant! An outright fave!

Thank you!

I was considering adding more to it, but I'm growing really fond of it's simplicity now.

Thanks for the review, I'll come check out a few of your tracks when I get some free time today!

It's weird, if I listen to one of your songs, you can always tell it's Koukotsu.
Strangely enough, it does feel like a chrysanthemum. A little white flower. I really like it. I will download when I have the chance. On to my iPod for listening.
Love your picture of Miku Hatsune. I really love her music.
Waiting to hear more....

I'm such a Mikutard! She's a much better singer than Katey Perry and isn't even human, lol.

I've thought about using her in some of my songs but most people would be driven insane!

...and I'm working on remixing one of Spivkurl's songs now, but it isn't going so well at the moment.

Thanks a bunch for stopping by!

Just love how benevolent this is...warm and gentle, really pleasant on the ears here, good stuff as always, you haven't lost your amazing touch....must admit I like your edgy tracks lol but I am hungover today and feeling a little tender...so this is just the stuff! keep up the good work K

Koukotsu replied Unknown - 2028 years ago
Being a typically benevolent and gentle person, this is the sort of sound I tend to gravitate toward, lol.

But yeah, there is nothing wrong with a little variety every now and then!

Sorry to hear about the hangover! I stopped drinking altogether about 2 years ago but I remember how horrible they can be, lol.

Thanks a bunch for the review, I'll make sure to repay you real soon, I'm getting really behind!

Now, this I like! Great groovy synth work! Wonderful mixing on all these sweet sounds! Good flow to the drums! I can understand your choice of titles. Great work on this one! Faved for sure!

Thanks a bunch!

The "less is more" approach did this one justice, unlike some of my other mixing atrocities, lol.

I'll come by and listen to what you've been up to real soon!

Thanks! I had quite a rough time trying to tame the lead synth on this one. (step sequencers are such a pain, lol.)

I'll probably be updating this one soon, I just feel like I could do so much more with it, but I'm pretty pleased with it already!

I'll get you back tomorrow I promise, but it's bedtime for now, lol.

Description : I'm continuing the 'Unfiltered' Vol. 1 series, this is track 2.

Same as with track 1, i'm on the electric guitar/Squier Affinity series Stratocaster, drums and bass only in the beat, i kept percussion to a minimum to not distract from the guitar too much.

Made/recorded/performed in Reason 13.

Feedback is appreciated.

One acapella by Elven Voice, one loop by GenaMusic... So separate but something common...I decided to merge them and to leave them as clean as I could. Just added some synth pads and percussion.
