You Are Never Forgotten - Crucethus

Description : So I took just one pad phrase that Alex wrote and built this monstrosity entirely around it. A gentle deep house ambient sentiment with soft jazzy pianos and deep and dirty bass withs lots and lots of percussion. I really like this one And I hope you do too!

Almost went disco house for a few min after the third change. Nice kick tone. The whole mix is a bit muffled, but that's

Almost went disco house for a few min after the third change. Nice kick tone. The whole mix is a bit muffled, but that's probably by design, a genre stylistic choice (I usually "master" so about -10 LUFS average, this is probably more like -15ish).

Old stuff is good and all... where's the new stuff?

hi Steve

Sounds great to me. I love what you did with those pads! It seems you added some extra depth and effects too which is also excellent. Jazzy middle section has very fine progressions, somehow much more complex that I could expect from any usual house tune. Some nice synths as well around 4.40 I like it a lot. Funky section towards the end is brilliant.

Thanks again for inspiring me to make some another attempt in the genre.

Alex

crucethus replied 14th Apr 2016 - 10 years ago
Hey Alex.

I did add a few effects to the pads to deepen them and make them prominent in the back of the mix. The Jazz sections are simple and add in complexity as the mix carries on, but for me this is an exercise in percussion with soft minimalism.
Im glad you enjoyed and I inspired.
cheers
Steve

Hello Steve

Whenever I read something from you about, the way as thou doing music, then i see how uneducated i am.
Your answer to Greg is really totally wild. I really love that :)
Same i can say over this track - i love it.
The bass is fantastic! It sounds so good on speakers and headphone. Very nice mastering.
This track is a kind of easy listening without getting bored at all for me (and that is very rare in my case at easy listening)
What else can i say?
You done all like always :) just great.
Nice sounds, nice mixing, nice mastering, cool groove stuff with a cool dynamic and gentle little melodies.
Very enjoyable.
And the best is really that you done all with knowing what you do :)

stay tuned

Hey Steve,

This is a great deep house track you have here. I love the beginning with those lovely pads, then how you brought the drums and those toms in. That was definitely enjoyable. I would say this track gives off a trance/hypnotic vibe as well as a whole load of feelings. The bass, kind of gave me a circus feeling, but I loved it. The piano, gave off an emotional vibe and the drums had a dance vibe. It's always great when a track can give you so many different feelings at once.

All in all, great work. Faving this one!
crucethus
crucethus replied 11th Apr 2016 - 10 years ago
Hey thank you Modnex, I'm glad you enjoyed this one. I just wanted to make a simple deep house tune like I used to hear in New York back in the day and it morphed into this.

I love that intro. It's so soft and sweet I could spread it on my toast. The pads are excellent and the beats are varied enough to keep the listener engaged. The variety of sounds and textures are captivating throughout as well. Top score on all points.

Hey Danke.

It took me a long long time to get to the point that I could do a track like this. I would say 15 years of practice just to understand the minimalism concepts and correct balancing of sound. So I was as elated as you are in this wonderful comment after completing it. I just needed a Muse.

WOW! This is an amazing track! All the elements come together quite nicely. I like where the first transition kicks in around 2:10 and it just keeps getting better. I usually don't like tracks that go over five or six minutes,
because in some cases the artist has nothing to say.

However this was over seven minutes of pure enjoyment; very well done and it's a track I could listen often.
Thanks for posting this.

All The Best

I agree with, GregVincey. The jazz piano adds a nice touch to the piece. It provides higher frequency melodies to the instrumental and makes it feel whole. Nice work.

Yo my man, i like the jazzy part at 2:05 and through out the track :)

Am curious, how do you work around your percussion? Do you just throw stuff in there and see what it sounds like?
crucethus
crucethus replied 5th Apr 2016 - 10 years ago
Ahh my dear Greg with his obtuse questions again.
Let me educate yah on my methodology of percussion.
First you need an anchor kick that you can build everything else up from in the center track. Using Mathematics, tone disbursement and spatial panning and mixing from a 3d perspective is the first steps I choose. Then I start bringing in the high hats the snares the congas the rims, the effects, the toms.
In the case of this track and the last track which I remixed alex (promenade2299), I could hear the sounds I wanted in my head before I did the remix (and I actually stated that to alex before) and then went through my loop collection to get them organized for the mix while incorporating his very ecelectic perc loops he gave me for the mix. Some drum loops have a cool percussion vibe but I don't need the kick, so I high pass filter it out. Some loops I add reverb for the spatial effect of hearing it more in the background. Making music for as long as I have allows me to also make instant judgements on what perc loop will work and what doesn't and again it all comes down to simple math sometimes. The Best house artists have this ability to drive a minimalist song forward with fantastic percussion changes throughout the track. I love when Danny Tenaglia does his deep house mixes for small crowds because you hear this element profoundly throughout his set.
I like the jazzy part as well.
I hope this answers your question.

Most of you know that I don't take myself seriously; I experiment, I just wing it, I don't care much about standards, and I don't care if the music industry takes me seriously, I'm just having fun. This is another one of those tracks where I turn everything upside down, an absurd story in a fast techno beat.

Description : I continue the hybrid procedure of creating music. This is a relatively recent song of mine that after the in DAW processing it was used as a prompt with certain guiding choices to AI machine. What was produced was di novo imported into the DAW to be blended with the original recording. It ended to a long music piece which I believe can be of interest to the listener. I hope you will enjoy this listen. I think Rocking Ambient describes well the genre.
