Big Red Boat - DanGoldstein

Description : C#, G#, A#. bass, lead, atmosphere from GMS synth in FL Studio. Perhaps if you commute on a German ferry boat each day, this would be upbeat music to help you psyche up for your workday! no clue about genre as usual.

I started listening to this, and then felt the desire to go and view the painting... not surprising that the painting felt instantly connected with the music! It's like I could see it before I clicked the link, within the music. Very creative stuff. I think that you coaxed some good sounds out of the single synth, and I could see the frequencies being even more broad if the sounds were created on different instruments... but then the whole "vibe" may be lost, so it might not be worth it. I really like this one! Thank you for sharing! Fave!

I think the fact that your music is difficult to fit in a particular genre box speaks well to your creativity Dan....it does indeed bounce along nicely..one of those tunes that you listen to and just couldn`t feel down...and aint that a good thing...nicely done...Ed

Another nice pair up! The music represents the big boat floating on the calm sea while pushing forward on our way to work :D I do picture the early 1900's era riding the ferry to the factory for the day. What's the return trip sound like?

LOL! Maybe it turns into a full blown dance track!

Yo.

I like boats. Big, red or small - I don't mind.

This has a pretty cool vibe to it but feels like it should be extended. As if it's only a preview. Gotta say the vibe is quite futuristic so doesn't make me think of that boat chugging along.

This sounds like it's going to turn into a fat, pumping dance track once some heavier beats arrive.

Or it can just stay sitting there chilling in its bombastic sort of way for a while.

Congrats.

Honestly, I was gonna stay in chill mode but expand as you were feeling should. Now I am hearing something a little more aggressive. It will be new territory if I go in that direction but hey - that's the way you grow.

On the art - yea, not my most obvious music/art sync by a long shot. But it's a happy ride!

Thanks for great visit and comment Static.

Very unique sound. Music you cant fit in a genre but is always fun to listen to. GMS is a pretty good synth. I used a few times as well. Nice track!

DanGoldstein replied 23rd Jan 2016 - 10 years ago
yea - genre generally alludes me. I'm more interested in the music evolving somehow out of response to a piece of visual art. that's my angle! LOL! But it was really sticking practically to a couple of obviously related patches in the GMS that gave me a leg up on this one. Glad you could stop by, mudhoen. Thanks for great comment. I'll have some coffee ready next time!

Thats a really cool site linking music with art, ive went through a few on there and it looks like you have done alot of tracks for it haha very cool idea :)

anyhoo the song haha, this is great. It feels minimal but still somewhat complex, very chill but pretty exciting. I think it also captures that picture very well. Great track! :)

I'm happy, Renz. Found some compatible sounds in a single synth and made this one a low-stress, low angst "quickie". Glad you liked. Best regards my friend. Dan
Danke

Brilliant...though, at first listen (til I didn't see the painting) I imagined some small boats floating, waving, slowly rolling down the river with the possible choice of the upcoming danger...:-)

Than I saw that cruiser...:-)

Too good catch of the feeling Dan...

Hats off, Danke

It is interesting how the music for art tracks turn out. Sometimes the connection with the painting is mostly about emotional content. I think the music might speak of a happy ride in this commuter boat. Thanks for checking this out. All the best. Dan

Description : Grunge, Gospel and Latino vibes track... I tried using my voice as a guitar by using some heavy distortion. I need to write a song to this but I'm too lazy and want to move on to the next project lol

Description : A blend of heavy bass, melodic piano vibes, and atmospheric synth textures. I wanted to create a sound that balances powerful low-end energy with emotional melodies and subtle sonic layers.
I'm still learning and improving my production skills. I'd really appreciate your honest feedback on the overall sound, mixing, bass balance, melody, and arrangement.

This is one of my latest experiments in EDM production. Hope you enjoy listening!

Description : Hey everyone, I'm sharing my new track with you. The main motif comes from a sample by Mike Hayes titled "Lament." I added a few extra touches, some drums, and vocals from the phonk genre-I thought it would be an interesting fit. Let me know how it sounds!
