My Condition - Toastedavalanche

Description : So I've been a way for a while, completely at a loss for creativity.
Then last week I was reading through my old notes and found a four line poem scribbled on the back of a page. A week later this happened (Whoop). Hope you like Sci-fi :)

Beautiful, and minimally epic! I'm loving it! Very good sounding depth to the mix, and the stereo field is equally impressive! The lyrics interest me, and it seems like the ideas could apply in many situations. That always makes for good lyric, I think. It was pleasing to hear, and very well created! Fave!

What a brilliant little miracle...I'm absolutely impressed
by this one ! I know very well the nasty feeling when the
creativity tends to slip away, but that's nothing compared to a feeling when it comes back..:) And here it shines !!
Huge favourite !!

Compliments and respect______Orlando

Thank you for your kind words Orlando. Now that I've got back into a creative flow, I feel much better. Working on this track has also given me some nifty little production tricks for future songs. So I'm pretty happy with the result.

Like others have mentioned how good the piano is, I tend to agree. I thought your poem and the effects on the vox worked well with the piano effects. It's a solid and focused idea from a songwriter and producer's point of view. Hope this one inspires you for the next one.

Hi man. Thanks for listening and for your lovely comments. It has actually inspired me to rework a track I've been struggling with for a while now. So I'm pretty happy now :)

Thanks again,

Congratulations on a soulful chillout track. Simple and yet a deep message. Stuck in the past, how can one move on? We must learn from the past then move foward.

In the beginning there with the piano, i thought it would turn out into an Adele type of 'hello' song. But I enjoyed this. When you're are stuck for creativity in music, do what i do, get creative in other areas of your life. And this will inspire you back into music making. Bro poetry.com, hahaha i have some poems still on there from way back in the day.. Blessings brother - Billy.

Thank you for the advice BillyD. I've actually started reading again recently and I've found that has helped me a lot.

And I promise never to turn into Adele. Not even once.

I like it a lot T.A...sometimes the best things are those that are not overcomplicated by all the clutter we have at our disposal...that piano is superb...and a very nice/fitting jobon the vocals...with the wee touch of backing pads...about perfect to my mind...and I enjoyed the listen...(something that seldom occurs if I turn on my radio)...great job...definite fav..long enough to leave you waiting for more....

Cheers Tumbleweed.

I found myself over-thinking everything, even outside my music. So I thought it was time to do something simple and easy on the ears. Glad you enjoyed it.

Conditional greetings.

This is really lovely stuff and that piano is great.

Even better is when it has the delay added to it. Makes a massive difference and turns it into something new.

I've got to know your voice quite well and I could actually hear it as I started listening to the piano parts.

This is more like an instrumental with a few vocal lines rather than a proper song so it feels a bit short. Maybe you could extend it by a minute or so eg by coming up with some other lines and maybe some other change.

Otherwise, it's good, slightly far out, peaceful, warm stuff so big congrats to you.

A short review for a short track...

Hi SN.

Thank you for your feedback. This has been an interesting exercise for me. Not sure if I will do more with it or not. I quite like it's simplicity. But I'm glad you could hear the vocals okay. It still takes me ages to get the levels right!

Love sci-fi and poetry! Poetry can be such great inspiration for projects. Have a look at public domain poetry(dot)com for tons of poems free to use and abuse any way you see fit, if in need of some inpspiration. Midispark's art site is another good one, composing music to be paired up with images :p Maybe you could take up slide cigar box ukelele? I bet that would get some creative juices flowing ;)

I've been on poetry,com a few times. I have quite a few books as well. But writing lyrics isn't the problem, its just finding inspiration in general. And slide cigar box ukulele sounds awesome!

Cheers Karl. I got a new beat mixing app and started playing around with all the samples. It was easy to get carried away! But the track would be too dark without them I think. Thanks again,glad you enjoyed :)

Description : A high energy Afro fusion instrumental built around a driving rhythm, melodic elements, and a smooth, infectious bounce. The production blends energetic percussion with a melodic atmosphere, creating a versatile foundation for artists to bring their own sound and personality.

Perfect for artists looking for an energetic record with room for catchy melodies, confident flows, and expressive songwriting. Whether it's a feel good anthem, a hustle driven record, or a late night Afro fusion vibe.
