Circle Of Light - DanGoldstein

Hi:)

I really like all the melodic stuff going round in circles.
It reminds me of the american minimal-music composers.
Also the sounds you used have some kind of a tribal quality.
Nice work!

I like this much, and I can definitely feel the vibe of the picture you linked to! The different instruments has some cool dynamics to them. I did notice around 2:25 or so, there was some distortion somewhere in there... don't think it was my system any way. Doesn't seem like it's in the last step, but somewhere earlier in the signal chain. Correct me if I'm wrong... :) I enjoyed listening thoroughly though! Fave!

Wow very unique and well done . It is great to hear something you have never heard before and i really appreciate the brilliant sounds you put together.

Awesome track midisparks! All the elements you used blended together perfectly. The mix sounds pretty good too. Nice work as usual.

I hear so many layers in this, such a complex crafted work ;)

I really love though how everything is mixed panned etc
gives it a real dynamic feel which is important

See you are still working on this?
Hope it will get finished soon then so I can hear it in it's full glory ;)

Wow! This has really come along. I honestly can say I can't recognize it from the 1 minute or so piece you originally posted. The one thing I do recall is the reverb you had on that you mention was removed. That part I would of noticed, it has so much more punch now. It showcases the lines so much better.

The piece is very complex. The solo, not sure what it is, sounds great. The drum pads that start after the break at 1:43 sound excellent on my headphones.

I did notice the long tag at the end. Not sure if that was on purpose or not :/

You combined some great sounds. Amazing to see this piece come alive. Great work!

As others have pointed out this is like the intro to something bigger. I could see you adding so much on top of this to make it incredibly complex (my musician brain) But what a nice idea you have spawned. keep at it my friend.

I like the beginning instrument you selected. It has a very exotic sound, which reminds me of a rain forest. I like the overall concept, but I feel that some sounds get in the way of other. I like them all, it's just if the synth was turned down a bit and perhaps pan it to one side of the speakers? It just feels like they're all competing with one another instead of working together (this is how my mind works)

The ending was interesting, reminds me of China somehow. I think of the rice fields on an early dewy morning while Samurai get ready for a fresh strart... I dunno how this relates but I like it.

Keep 'em coming!

very dope sounds

Nice mellow piece, It has kind of an oriental feel to it and i see you've found the FL plucked machine. I like the tribal feel to it and the mix quality is on point. I like the panning effects as well. You are definitely getting better at this Dan.
Well done!

Well, it sounds great. but it definitely sounds like the start of or section of a bigger piece. Which is probably pointing out the obvious since you've named it in progress.

My suggestions, Danke had a good idea with slowing the tempo down. If you did that, I can imagine a Chillwave type of track taking shape. You can build the whole track around the main riff you have going. Drop in pieces here and there along the way.

About the main synth line. I would try taking the echo or reverb off it and see how it sounds. Maybe you already tried it, idk. But I'd be curious to hear how it sounded dry. It might leave more space open for other sounds. Does that make sense?

Just a couple ideas to consider as you try and flesh this out. You have the basis of a really cool track. Good luck with it!

Yeah, good, progressive one...after those intro jam I would slow it down to the half bpm tempo and get some guitar riff (could be acoustic one) than get back to your theme from 0.52 (could be the chorus)...
I know that you aren't a composer who works with structures but this is my only 'chartish' attitude...:-)

Much respect, Danke

Good start to something interesting, I like those almost Japan flavoured
scales....
Nice One

Peace...TG.

A groovy track, you got here, MS. Sort of a new age or world vibe. The ending even has a Weather Report vibe to it. A good one to build on. Good Job!

Cheers,
Scott
