Clouds Above - WongKiShoo

Description : This was my entry into BradoSanz song contest Dec 2016.. It was picked as the winner, but Brado never got round to laying down vocals for it. Shame really because this track doesn't sound complete without them. Maybe I'll attempt to do the vocal myself someday.. where's that autotune at?!? Ayyy! :p

If you have time take a listen and give WongKiShoo some feedback.

Congratulations on winning the contest! Even without the vocals this is a treat for the ears. Really well composed and executed. Can't wait to hear what you guys come up with :)

I really liked this track! Whether or not you win Brado's contest, this is a fine piece of work. Very intricate production. I thought the mix was excellent, by the way. Nice side chain work. I learned how to do that in my PointBlank courses, but have never actually used the technique. Now I forget how. :)

Thanks very much Eric :D

Means a lot to me to come top in the competition, despite some fantastic entries..

As for sidechain, nothing a little youtube tutuorial can't fix ;)

Rather than using ghost kicks etc.. I just use a plugin, saves time and effort haha

Thanks again!

Ghost kick?

Nah, it's long winded to do it that way.. I just used LFOTool's sidechain function.

I find that the song is quite fine without lyrics. It's cool because in a way the LFO on the lead sort of speaks it's own tune.

But where did the stormy theme go? Might be a pain to master but I like a challenge and reckon a buildup of rain to a storm would be a cool concept for an electronic piece like this. Still an amazing composition.

WongKiShoo replied 31st Dec 2016 - 9 years ago
Thanks for your words Hertz

I did think about reintroducing the stormy theme right at the end of the track for the outro.. I still may - we'll see :p

I still definitely want vocals over this, even if Brado doesn't choose it as the winner.. but I'll cross that bridge when I come to it haha

thanks again

Great work. I like the simplistic saws in the drop. I'm guessing you used an LFO to create its wobbly sound? Thanks for letting us listen!

Actually it's just a sidechain haha

Beautiful track from start to finish! This deserves to win BradoSanz's contest. There was one thing, however, that sort of drove me nuts. The melody during the drop, plays sort of a call and response, since the second melody is slightly different than the first. One the second half though, the last note of the melody annoyed me though because I felt like it should have gone up a few notes to the next E(I believe) instead of down. Anyways, just a suggestion. Great track!

Hey Melodic :)

The drop is something I've been working on today... It was something that was bugging me too haha..

The track is almost finished now.. it's just the last few fills and that last bar of the chorus that needs some more work..

It's now been updated if you wanna give me some thoughts on the drop?

Thanks Brado :)

I hammered this track out in one session a couple of days ago when my internet was down (nothing else to do but write music haha) . Now that my ears have had a break I see some changes i wanna make so you should check back on submission deadline day.

Also.. if you DO choose this track, you'd be welcome to suggest edits or whatever - I want this to be as good as possible :)

Description : Hi everyone, I'm presenting you my new beat, where I tried to capture the raw emotions of recent events in my personal life. It's a unique fusion of a dark trap vibe, dirty analog textures, and solid boom-bap drum patterns, topped with a few distinct samples. One of them is a vintage movie quote from 'Psycho' (1960), and the other is a haunting female vocal loop from Looperman, which serves as the main chorus. Hope you feel the vibe.

Description : Nothing to put here. I will let the music speak itself, in the way I always do.
When words can't be spoken, and mean nothing, music speaks louder then a clap of thunder.
Anyway, I have my choir concert on Tuesday! And I found out my parents will not attend because they think I don't deserve their attendance. So I'm gonna make sure they regret that, YKWIM :). Watch me get lettered to Concert Choir, they'll hate MY GUTS if I do. lol. SCOREBOARD!

Description : Sometimes I wonder ... what would have happened if I never watched that video?

Would everything have ended up the same? (minus me watching that video)

Or would it have ended differently?

Note: I added a Trap section to the song

But the fish will always be there just living & swimming regardless of who or what enters its waters, Oblivious to the other world that lies beyond
