Description : “Welcome to the Dream” is another small piece and expansion to the overall musical narrative I established in “The Moments That Take Your Breath Away”. This song symbolizes escape from reality into “the dream”. The “dream” is different for everyone. For some it could be a hobby they enjoy, for others it could be drinking and drugs. Though different at first glance, they all follow an idea of escapism, and I believe it’s present in every person.
Hopefully, the ideas I want to explore will become more concrete as my journey as an artist continues and I can build upon this concept.
The song itself is a combination of festival trap and future bass, emotional melodic sections coupled with other sections with high energy. I plan on getting vocals for the song, but the people I’ve contacted have yet to reply, so fingers crossed.
I may possibly do a re-imagining of the track, approaching the way it sounds differently, giving it a more unique feel while still keeping the emotional core of the track.
Any and all criticism is encouraged and appreciated.

first thing what in my mind about this is Arkham Asylum. sorry if i`m offended you (i`m a honest guy).
everything is in place and sounds nice i hear every frequency which means that you mix really really good!
only what disturbs me is the 808 kick its like there is no sub or to deep for my headphones idk (i`m making music with them).
Anyway its a nice work and got some weird but nice vibes! Cheers!
I don't really understand what you mean by Arkham Asylum coming into your mind from this song. Could you explain that more clearly?
And by all means, be as honest as possible. That's why I love this community. That's the only real way I can improve.
I made the decision to decrease the volume of the bass to put more focus on the synths. They're not as prominent as in other tracks. Though now that I think about it, I should have either given the synths more intricacy or increased the bass with the synths as they are now to give the drop even more energy.
Absolutely beautiful track! I got the sense of anticipation throughout the whole song. I like how you gave lots of time for the song to "breath", combining moments of intensity with a chill aspect. Very well done! Do you use Soundcloud, youtube, or any other music platform? Let me know so I can follow you and your music.
nice!, took me to a dream world. love the beat. in the middle I felt a beat that wanted to get out.( this is a good thing, not bad) it kept me glued. started to tap a beat with music.
Glad it took you to such a place, though I feel I could have executed the concept differently. In the middle, I left a bit of breathing room for vocals. So it should sound even more complete. Glad you enjoyed it

Description : Feel free to check out the video on YT as well (Alan McLaren Project - Upside Down) of this 6min journey from electronic to rock with some psychedelic moments...
This is my latest, but also one of my earliest tracks.... any feedback is more than welcome, thanks :)
Description : 'The main point of this song is really about the frustrations of living in the overload of today's World of Tech. The consequences are impaired communication and that if you advance too far you end up diminishing what you had to start with, so you are way worse off.' Enjoy a 60s Rhythm with a modern deep Bass, a Sitar, a Piano from EvilPianist, a lost flute from UniverseHuston and some Oscillators :-)

Description : A demo of one of my current projects. The chorus vocal sounds like "Aaaaraashe" to me. The song is in C# minor with a nod to C# pythagorean on the chorus. The beat on the verse was inspired by the Peter Gabriel song Intruder.
Description : This is one of my earliest productions that I did at the start of my recording career. I did not have a keyboard at the time I made this song, so I improvised and used my sister's iPad and a 5 dollar GarageBand application instead, and plugged the headset jack into into my PT6 rig and did my best to turn each individual track (which were mono and there were about 25 tracks or so) into a stereo image. Then recorded vocals over it. My computer was so old and slow that I had to mix my music and then BOUNCE it to a new session - four times. My computer (which had 512 MB RAM and an 80 GB hard drive) couldn't handle more than 8 tracks at a time or it'd stop working because the processor couldn't handle it. Took me FOREVER to do. But I got it done. Had a lot of fun doing it too, even if it isn't my "best" work. I'm still happy with it, considering I didn't have many tools to choose from at the time.
Description : Long time lurker first time poster, pretty new to production n stuff, this is my first track in Ableton Live.
was going for a darkwave/synthwave sound, reminiscent of Justice, Carpenter Brut, Perturbator, ect.
Looking for some feed back, constructive criticisms or even just your thoughts if you liked it or not. This is just a rough cut on this current WIP, just the bones of it if you will.. If you have some cool title suggestions, would love to hear those too.
Thanks for listening.

Description : NEON DRIVE is a smooth flowing electronic track with a steady progression. I hope it entertains you and creates a temporary dreamscape for you to get lost in.
