Description : This is a very personal song that I wrote about 3 years ago. I've tried to record it a couple of times, but it's never quite worked. But I think I've pinned down the sound this time. Let me know your thoughts.

you have a good control over voice and a nice tone. for my taste vocal could be a bit more in front of mix. I like all the sounds you choose. create a neat atmosphere in this song. nice work!

Hi its quite a dark piece which is what attracted me to it.
Theres a sort of Mad World/Gary Jules theme to it - love it

I accidentally hit the post button, ha. I wanted to mention that I liked the lyrics, they sit in the mix well and the pizzi strings was a cool add. Is there a mandolin in there?

From personal experience I can say I've had that same problem with mixing and production. Good to hear you got what you were looking for.

Another great song...very musical and poetic at the same time. Good intro with dark and massive piano sets the mood very nicely. Vocals and interpretation are a very bright point as well, while the arrangements overall sit within the concept very nicely. Maybe I would rethink a few things
in mixing/production department (but just maybe), particularly the volume levels of actual instruments, but this minor doubt doesn't detract me from fully enjoying this wonderful and emotional tune ! Faved !:)

Compliments and respect_____Orlando

Very deep, dark song with your low-toned vocal...very much like it...I know that the song is measured on it's own state but for me all of your numbers a bit short...could listen it for a while...:-)

Handshake and hats off, Danke

Cheers Danke. This one will be longer when I work out how to get the sound I want for the second half. Just need to find the time and patience :P

Toasted greetings.

Some foreboding piano notes and then some pleasant strings.

0:26 sounds like a very brief little reverbed vocal note as the pizzicato enters.

Vocals seem quite prominent to me. They're good, as usual. Maybe just take the instruments down a bit in level at certain points.

This is pretty decent at this length but I can really hear how a variety good beats would fit well here. How about doubling the length, with a drum heavy second half?

I wasn't keen on the final 8 seconds of sound effect. Didn't seem necessary and wasn't how I wanted to remember the piece. I'd also be happy for the song to just start with the piano notes on 0:11. You can tell what did nothing for me in this one!

Good work, all the same.

Static salutations.

Thank you for your informative critique. It's funny that you should mention the idea of a drum heavy second half. It's something I've been experimenting with, but I just can't create or find the drum sound I want atm. It's very frustrating.
As for the final sound effect, if it's leaving the listener with a bad impression, it will have to go.

Cheers,

TA

Nice little number.
Enjoyed listening.
I have no idea how these genres are arrived at. This to me sounds like something I would have listened to back in the early seventies from stoner hippy band ... that's a compliment not a put down. Just stressing I really don't the genre thing. My latest effort has the word God in it a few times so for once had no problem which label it was getting ... straight into the religious music group of course!
One criticism is ... I think the vocals should be a little clearer. Little sharper. Little bit more prominent.

I don't know either mate. I just panic and choose the first one that seems kinda right. But thanks for listening and for your thoughtful comments.

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 : 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 : 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...

Absolutely fantastic vocals from her.

Pure chill-out electronica.

Some of my best chillout. Her vocals were definitely inspiring.
