Sounds very much experimental and unorthodox. A bit confusing at times, but the bass synths are very satisfying. Good work!

I knew this took me back somewhere I've been before ..... Emerson Lake and Palmer!
You might be to young to have heard of them.
I think my fave track by them would be lucky man which has a synth ending that blew us all away at the time. Probably sounds a little old hat now.

Hey Silverman. We used to get stoned after school and play air guitar (and saxophone for that matter) to Lucky Man and other EL&P songs. I'm from that day. Thanks for stopping by. Dan

Hi Dan,
Interesting piece of music: I don't find it "weird" at all.
For sure the "choice of notes" is not 100% conventional, but I think that the final result is pleasant to hear.
I specially liked the introduction of the "happy" (almost "bossa") part line as a contrast to the tension built by the other instruments.
Ciao, Domenico

Hi Domenico. I listen to these note cluster pieces so much I stop noticing how dissonant they are to most ears. I'm happy if that bass line gave u a little break! Thanks for the listen and comment. Dan

the beat variation make me think that it's a multi genre and not only a chill out track! really good work with a perfect acid touch. Can't say i'm fan but i don't dislike it, it's just special and fortunately, i was in a good mood when i listened to it lol

congrates

A wild ride. you are slipping closer and closer into 12tone atonal my friend. great vibe, and reminds me of the Italian word for Witch which is Strega!
good work

I remember learning that word in my college Italian class. I like using note sets and some of the serial techniques. I'm so used to the result. I forget how strange this atonal stuff must sound to others. But glad some can appreciate. Thanks Cru.

Very cool and unique track Dan! It has a very interesting vibe to it. The old school analog synthesizer sounds were really fresh to hear too. I could see part of this track being used in a video game like Metroid. That's at least what comes to mind when first hearing it. It's a Fav. Truly nice work.

Thanks Shatner. I'm not a gamer. Would become obsessed I'm sure. Already addicted to Spades! I would like to bring in trance elements now and am working toward that for a new mix. Thanks again. Regards, Dan

Hey Midi nice n spooky intro followed by interesting arp sound. All in all avant garde sounding piece lays out a story in its path which i enjoyed greatly. As the great Robert Burns said in Tam O Shanter " Weel done cutty sark " You have your own sound which is a very good thing i.m looking forward to more from you. well done best regards Robbie.

thanks Robbie. have had some creative/life inspiration from a new acquaintance lately. I am grateful if I have achieved something of a unique style. I would like to keep the music accessible on some meaningful levels as well - that is the overarching goal these days. Thanks again for checking things out. Dan

I find this to be a really fun sonic exporation of your subject matter! Genre does not matter greatly, and this is one that shouldn't be "boxed up."

I'm enjoying the playful vibes of the bass lines, and the gentle rhythms. The mixing so far really lends itself to this sort of instrumentation and composition.

As someone who has been sharing life with a "bruja" for a long time, I can definitely feel some associations in your song.

I suppose that the only reservation I have with this one is in the synthesizer sounds, but it is only a personal and subjective thing. The sounds have a "played out" feel to my ears, like they are sounds which have been in so many songs throughout my life, that I tire of them. It is nothing said about how you have played the sounds though, as your playing and composition is awesome as ever! Like I said, it's just personal. If I didn't feel this way about a lot of things, then I wouldn't go out of my way trying to make new sorts of instruments.

I enjoyed the song a lot! Definitely a fave! I'm looking forward to hearing where it goes if you collaborate!

I understand where ur coming from on sounds. It is not such an issue for me although I do my share of tinkering with the sounds.

Are u previously familiar with the Spanish idea of the bruja or did my description simply fit well with your sig?

I'm glad u liked this one Pat. Regards.

Hey Dan, I have to say this one gives off of a jungle vibe. I feel like I'm in a futuristic jungle located in space while listening to this one. The sounds were all chosen wisely and work great together. Your description is an interesting one and I can hear those emotions being expressed within the track.

Well done,
keep them coming!
DanGoldstein
DanGoldstein replied 5th Sep 2017 - 9 years ago
I don't know jungle. Gonna look into as inspiration for the effects. I stuck to patches in Sytrus. Seems I have better luck combining patches off the same synth. Glad u enjoyed Modnex. Thanks.

It's good to hear from you, Mosaic. If I got a bit of chill in this one I'm glad. Trying to collab on this one now with mindheist for special effects. He is in Houston though and I am waiting to hear that he is ok. Tx for positive feedback. Regards Dan

Description : I'm continuing the 'Unfiltered' Vol. 1 series, this is track 2.

Same as with track 1, i'm on the electric guitar/Squier Affinity series Stratocaster, drums and bass only in the beat, i kept percussion to a minimum to not distract from the guitar too much.

Made/recorded/performed in Reason 13.

Feedback is appreciated.
