Fight The Fear - DanGoldstein

Excellent sounds. Sounds that I am very unfamiliar with, lol. I can only break down the track on the enjoyability factor and I really enjoyed listening to it. Personally, I wouldn't even know where to begin with something like this. I have enough troubles with electronic music :/

Great work on this track.

Im delighted to hear the complete piece and the progressions you made with it. I like the things you added to create dynamic. first part takes me to a magical spacious oriental temple or a empty desert. industrial guitar-lead agressive sound and decadent last section seem to be some presentation of fight and effort. nice work.

Listening to this, as well as the clips for the project we're working on, I find myself getting accustomed to your composition style. It's very comforting! What I hear/feel is that pitch is being used to form the dynamics, rather than the more common amplitude route. Makes me wonder if this method would leave more up to the listener as far as physiological response etc... everyone hears and reacts to pitch a bit differently I think. Hope I'm making sense. Any way, I really enjoyed listening! Have made some more progress on the art track this morning. I will be in touch!

So much going on with this composition.It takes you on a mind trip,the electric guitar,the percussion ,and the whole eastern vibe ,makes for a great composition.Its definitely movie music.Thumps up.

Hey Dan

Long time mate, sorry haven't been here to check out your works, always enjoy them, haven't been that well, but on mend now, loving the eastern vibe you have going on here, everything sounds spot on, especially love the beat and its level, not over powering, allowing it to carry the track along without being the main focus, very enjoyable listen Dan...thank you for sharing...Fav...Peace n respect...Mosaic...

Interesting experiment, less innovative than other things you have done but still kept my interest while hearing.
As already mentioned in other comments, the simplicity is the key and keeping things simple is not as easy as it may sound.
Good work!
Ciao, Domenico

PS: Now I am going to check out the work promenade did with your ideas... I really liked your sentence "music finds its home in spite of us"... I think this holds true for every form of art.

Yeah i dig the eastern vibe. especially the percussion. Everything sounds on point in this track and it has plenty of atmosphere to it with lots of nice reverbs. Is that a guitar or is that the FL slayer? whatever it sounds pretty cool.
This was an excellent listen.

YO yo !
well, I took you on a journey through the OMNIVERSE ...
you take me on a trip through the desert on a camel..
I thank you that there are no gunshots or bombings.
It sounds peacefull...
good job !

Mind opening and very creative. Listening again for more perspective. Sort of chimes in the beginning give you a sense of hiding in a hut. from the enemy. With your sinister melodic lines and percussion. Cool Clarinet sound. Which is mimicked by the guitars later. Good work overall.

Really nice cinematic effort Dan. Great use of percussion to move the track along from one stage to another. There isn't anything to really critique here....the mix is spot on, the composition is solid, and the execution is outstanding.

You really do have a gift for composing great music. Keep it up man, we need more music like yours in this world. Well done. I hope all is well.

Greetings. This has the kind of vibe I like. I do love all sorts of eastern sounds.

1:28 and the guitar riff reminds me a little of Tool. If you don't know that legendary, very special band, I suggest you check them out. Try a track called 46&2.

Main riff in this is a compelling one and you work it well throughout on different instruments. Clanging percussion is good and then that's joined by other metallic grooves.

Good music to soundtrack a Mongolian landscape.

Special link in case you've never heard my favourite Tuvan throat singing group, who have something in common with this track. Just listen to the first piece of music in this performance and I expect you'll be blown away.

I also checked out Promenade's track and I think it's great. Can't help but say I prefer it to yours as he's done more with that main riff. And I love the groove he used.

Still good work from you so well done.

ok, so I wrote something using fragments from your song:

a very enjoyable music so far... quite simple motifs that could be developed into something more, the simplicity opens a doorway to different possibilities... but still nice music as it is now...

I am enjoying the sense of urgency that this track creates especially from 0.45

Just a thought, maybe add in thunderous orchestral drums from 1.30 to create a sense of war/battlefield environment, should go well with the distorted guitars.

Keep up the good work brother Midi. - Billy
