In Space - Toastedavalanche

18th Dec 2016 22:51 - 9 years ago
Description : I found an old recording of me playing guitar on 8-track and decided to use it in a new track. All parts have been recorded using analogue equipment. I've then slowed down, sped up or reversed as I recorded them digitally. Then came the difficult part, attempting to piece it all together in ableton without everything being too out of time (there's no way to make it perfect).
Once I'd EQ'd out some of the loudest hiss, I started applying effects and eventually mastering it all.
What you get as a final product is a simple song executed in a very weird way. I'm quite happy with the disorienting effect. I hope you like it too :)

Damn fine job in this intro. Timing issues sound like two guitarists playing together without a metronome.

Vocals are haunting and very storyteller like. Reverse elements are pretty well placed and rather effective. This is like a sad moment sung by a soul in limbo.

All I can add is that you should continue this with some new additions. Give us another minute or two. Good stuff. Not polished, but I think some things are better patinated.

Hi Danke.
I wanted to say it was more experimental than weird, but you work with what you have. Glad you enjoy these celestial vibes.

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!

Very much beginner, but I do want to write a better song (I feel like a Cornball)
And maybe some lyrics to go with it and sing (CRINGE)

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!

Description : Still We Praise is a faith-centred song about God's grace, the struggles of life and the power of praise. It is a reminder that, despite the evil, pain and sorrow in the world, our hope remains in Jesus. From a cry for restoration to a declaration of praise, the song brings together people from all walks of life in worship of the King of Kings.

Description : Atmospheric, late-night UK garage and liquid drum & bass blending deep rolling basslines, shuffled breakbeats, intimate breathy female vocals and rhythmic DJ turntablism. Chopped vocal samples and hypnotic hooks.
