    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!

    thanks so much promenade. i did not even think about the connection to circles. i try to connect music to art so now you have given me another aspect which might serve that connection. thank you!

    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!

    Pat - i think you are right. the log drums need a little more balancing at the end. gonna touch on that this morning. I have an artist who wants to show on the site with this end part of the track so it is good luck for me that you picked up on the EQ issue. really appreciate. look for a message from me over on facebook on something else vis a vis the site. regards - Dan

    thanks very much. sometimes it takes a little time, and a little time away, to coax the sounds and the mix along. I think we are starting to win though. really appreciate your stopping by. peace.

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

    thanks very shatner. really enjoyed discovering the FL Studio plucked instrument with this one. i think the distinction between velocity and volume really hit home as I refined that sound. still trying to get the mix warmer and somewhat hotter on this one, but as you know - at some point we call it a day and move on cause you can't master the process in one track anyway. peace brother.

    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.

    thanks crucethus. that has been part of the struggle with this one. all the options. but starting to make some decisions and some choices and get organized. thanks very much for great comment and stay tuned. regards - Dan

    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!

    hey OViea! that is beautiful imagery and it works for me. if you are interested check out the link to the picture and see if it speaks to you. maybe, maybe not! i am starting to refine this one. I agree with your honest feedback - was helpful - I think I am addressing some of the issues you mention. hope so. thanks again. peace. Dan

    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!

    thanks for keeping up with this one, Free. have added a harmor sound now at the beginning. actually the concept now is going from the mellow feel at beginning to something harder and building to an ending. i guess on a basic level mix is working out. have not done anything yet with reverb or fine tuning EQ etc. and there is something irritating at the top of that harmor sound which I need to reduce. thanks again. peace.

    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!

    took out reverb entirely for (except what is natural to that pluck sound - more in some octaves than others). sort of fleshed out first section. have a second section groove but need something on top of. then imagine a recap. thanks for checking in and helpful feedback. very much appreciated.

  12. Danke
    Danke on Mon 21st Jul 2014 - 9 years ago

    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

    DanGoldstein
    Reply by DanGoldstein

    really helped me to think about a form for this one. fleshed out opening a bit (still raw) and have a groove going for a second section. then will recap somehow - maybe more intense. thanks very much for feedback. big appreciation. Dan

    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

    Reply by DanGoldstein

    yea - it is gravitating towards that new age/world feel. second section now takes it somewhere a little different and might go for more powerful ending somehow. thanks for checking in. really appreciate it. Dan

Description : Many of you know well that Tumbleweed & Orlando collabs are pretty much well established tradition within LM society by now, and here is the newest example to reinforce that tradition. It's probably the last this year (yet never take it for granted) and I think it has (although not particularly intended) a bit of that seasonal celebrative nature, thus fitting quite well into this festive feel of December. Despite providing it's share of melancholic tones (you can bet who is responsible...haha...) it's a quite happy tune overall...and it doesn't bite, so you're all most welcome to listen and comment !... As always my sincere thanks to Ed !

Description : The spring is in full motion over here and I guess it helped me quite a bit to complete my part of the job on yet another exciting collab with maestro Tumbleweed. Most of our collab works contain at least some aspect which demonstrates something out of ordinary one or another way. This time we got a peculiar combination of mysticism and merciless attacks of soapiness (my bad....haha)....So let's listen to hear whether I'm right or not!....:) As always on such occasions, all my thanks to Ed !

Description : Hi guys another vocal from me, this time Matthias gave his blessing. It's to his beautiful return track chillout vibe. It's a tribute to my closest here on LM. My voice a few ways including, the balls to do a harmony channel too. There's 30+ shout outs, so listen up, you may here your name. It's community based and some of you play characters. Switch the fucking volume UP, it's a builder. Love the Stokesey and Cyber lines :))) Sorry girls it was a lads love in.
