Pieces Spinn Off Ft Devyn Rose - SeriouslyJoking

Hey SJ

really liking this piece, something really nice about it, vocals are brilliant, nice beat synths, don't know if you have changed the piano issue's talked about in the reviews before mine but I think the piano works nice in piece, always love tracks which have piano, especially up beat tracks like this....Very enjoyable listen for sure...Fav...Peace n Respect sweet...Mosaic....

Well then; I think you answered one of your own questions.
"It seems my brain loves everything I listen to more than a hundred times - which you Always do while creating a new track. So how do I know my brain isn't telling me bogus"...
"Listening to this today after a nights break...."
The key is sometimes you have to take a break or your ears (brain) becomes overwhelmed with sensory input and you don't hear the song correctly any more. It happens to all of us and the good musicians and producers know that they have to take a break from it. The song Tension of Seduction that I just recently put up is a perfect example. The original is like 9:30 long and has cool ideas but they don't sound perfect. So making a whole new shorter version I was able to make it sound the way I wanted.

So a break down of this song in a way I might want to hear it.
0-15 good intro, cut 17 to 28 (too repetitive) 1:06 to 1:14 place a drum riser to build up to a massive 4/4 beat without the syncopation of the earlier drums. (A house beat)
end that beat at the breakdown at 2:01. keep the drums you have to 2:19 and then bring back the house drums with and added wobble bassline to the end.

The reason why I gave you the link to the Danny Tenaglia song is back in 1998-9 I became obsessed with remixing it in all the house styles of the day. My best remix of this incorporates a James bond theme chord change that works with a sinister bassline. But it's not worthy of a release. However I learned so much about minimalism and simple grooves and basslines and making a song powerful out of nothing I thought you might enjoy that lesson as well.
good luck with this one

I have a few thoughts. make the song (remix) that you want to hear. if there is a certain drum sound you like, find that loop and incorporate it. make the music you want to hear! every else’s opinions be dammed. make it sound like something you want to play on your ipod for yourself .

I like this for the most part - you've developed a unique style that often verges on brilliance. For this one it has brilliant riffs and interplay with the vocals but the piano comes off rushed at times and could probably be rearranged somewhat with the part at 3:09 further back in the arrangement.
I'm a fan so I always like what you do - this one is good but maybe could use a some tweaking.
