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

i'm really glad you stopped by to check out progress on this my friend. i did attempt to clarify the lines per your feedback. seem to be heading in a good direction now. peace.
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.
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.
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...:-)
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
thanks for checking in soundhound. yea - kind of addicted to these sounds and note combos. have pushed a long a little more in the last week or so. thanks again very much. Dan
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 : Sounds of the sea and trippy acidy washes with a cool beat and some live acoustic guitar. Written in Cubase with live guitar and keys etc. The sound of the sea and birds was recorded on the beach where I used to live. After moving to the city one sunny day I was telling stories to a friend about living by the sea and started making this track.
Description : This improv recorded a few years ago powered my interest even further than I expected.....recorded using tc electronics pedal and tascam studio recorder and a Fender Squier tele electric....
Description : I used some new "Anthem" pickups from L.R. Baggs on my Martin acoustic to see how it performed, and it definitely beat my expectations. Captured the sound perfectly as I needed.
Anyhoo, this song is almost a prayer, hence the repetitiveness of the verses. As Christians, we believe that God will one day return and take away every suffering and all evil for good; in that regard, this song is almost one of waiting too. Very simple, with vocal harmonies and whatnot. Hope you enjoy this as much as I did making it. Made in 13 hours.
Someone else wrote the words, I was just inspired to use them. I only added the "Yeah" and "Amen."
Description : This is a track off of one of my EP's I dropped last year. It is based on True events. Sometimes when people finally take a second in life to slow down and breathe in..... The oxygen is deflated and it's too late. Take your time people, because time is what differs a good decision over a bad one. Life is precious!

Description : So a guy buys a nice guitar at a pawn shop but returns it a few days later after waking from a sound sleep to hear it playing by itself. When he tells of his experience he is shocked to learn the owner had actually died while playing it. Is it fantasy or truth? Is the guitar in this track that very same guitar? Its all part of the mystery and fun of Halloween !
EDIT: modified ending to a deeper voice
Description : This track describes a magical state that I experienced a long time ago. Maybe you also know the feeling that you can't describe something like this with words ... luckily we have the music for it!
Description : So this is my first Chill Outish track. I was just trying something new and then suddenly this was a thing. Everything you hear is home made. I hope you enjoy. - Mr. Spook'd
Description : That's something i worked out lately
a swing 3/4 hip hop Chill ?? Don't know how to describe this kind of music.
Anyway VOICE NEEDED
So if your interested to try something contact me
Description : A progressive journey incorporating deep ambient chillout, swing jazz, hip hop, d'n'b, trance and a slight touch of acid with a thousand ninjas battling in space. Features a great deal of my lead slide resonator guitar playing. Also a whole load of synths, programmed acoustic drum kits and manipulated drum loops, big basslines, regular electric guitar, vocoded guitar parts and bass guitar (distorted right at the end). If you like deep chill, far out soaring beauty, fat beats and 170 BPM uplifting slide trance controlled mayhem, you might just get into this. In my heaven there is an endless supply of honey mangoes (an exquisite beauty of the fruit world) and even more slide guitar. A 1,000-year-long version of this track plays there on a loop (long enough not to get bored of it) but here I offer you the Earthly 11 min version. You must be very good to be accepted into my heaven to hear the full thousand year version so best start now. It may be heaven's main theme tune but it's not above criticism so feel free to let me know what you think of it. Maybe you prefer the soundtrack in hell. I hear it's pretty badass...

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 ;)
