Prison By The Sea - Toastedavalanche

5th Sep 2015 22:25 - 11 years ago
Description : A very melancholy, kinda dub, slightly cinematic song I've been working on. Excuse the vocals, I have terrible manflu.
Thanks to OskepUs, whose "Tum Tututum Tututum Tum" drum loop I greedily usurped and modified.

Great voice and lyrics and a really well arranged song. And the EQ is perfect! :)

This is a track I'm particularly proud of. I was in a really bad way and creating it helped me a lot.

It's inspired by the Chateau d'If from Count of Monte Cristo.

Thank you for you lovely comments.

hello. I just had a chance to listen to your tracks and I like this one probably the most. Vocals are perfectly placed and I find the arrangement very corresponding. The only thing I would change is a drum loop at 2:37. Instead of dropping it I would continue playing it along the following 2 bars. Just my opinion.
I really enjoyed background sounds and gentle strings. It is a kind of atmosphere that is always reminding me somehow of 'Seascape' by Robert Rich https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p3SOAHSwZ3g
Congratsulations

I feel as your voice, and way you record yourself, you're like a male "Lana Del Rey" Hey man keep it up. Look up some mastering and balance techniques and try to showcase your work, I'm sure you'll get attention

Thank you for the feedback. I always find it difficult to work with my own vocals, it always sounds off to me. The strings were the last part that I added just to "lift" the track. Glad you like it :)
Danke

Yeah...cool number...first I thought the drum will disturb the joy but than it became to function...good choice that's dubstepish sound...

Handshake, Danke

I'm glad that it worked for you. I was a little worried about it myself. I haven't really worked with dubstep sounds before, so I'm relieved to hear that it didn't alienate you.

Nice track. I found it very absorbing. I also liked that way that synth worked within the drum loop. Good stuff

Thank you very much. I always worry about overdoing the reverb, so I was hoping the drums could keep the mix a little more grounded. Now I can sleep at night :p

Description : Hmm, it's a very stressful week to wait for some biopsy results and then I made a decision - let's do something.
Surfing through the acapellas on Looperman I found quite interesting vocal track by RayKoefoed ( it's a 16 years old file ). Well, loved the lyrics either :)
Here we are - an electronic dance type track with a punk style singing.
The first time I was doing something like this:) :) :)
Chill out guys.

And here it is a "nightingale" singing in an unknown language (Aalle Elvish) in a fairytale world... Many thanks to Lesperado and Elven voice for this wonderful acapella ! (Please see lyrics in English).
This track, which I had uploaded last year too, required some extensive retouching. I hope you like it !
