Fire In The Afterlife - StaticNomad

Description : 180 BPM ambient drum n cell. Melodic electric cello playing over dnb drums (all fast except for one 30 sec section). Drums are all manipulated loops. No acoustic drums so also no cymbals, just for a change. Various synths, plus some interesting sample-based sitar parts in the second half. A fun, far out track that feels like it should be deeper and better. Let me know what you think, good or bad.

I like the feel of the track. The spaceyness and mysteriousness compliment the drums quite well. I would personally tone down the violin sound, and put some high end EQ on it, to make it sound more pleasant. The sampling and the alien really immersive you into the song, and just ends up sounding interesting. Good job :D

Excellent track! I'm a bit of an ADD case & I listened to the whole thing. So that's really good. It reminds me of something by TuxedoMoon or Death in Vegas. (I love both) so you're in great company with this to my ears. Outstanding work sir!!!

Hi, Nomad. I understand your concern about developing a more powerful ending. But from my perspective as a fresh listener I can totally understand how the track winds down with an improvised feeling over a steamy, India flavor groove. I love the sounds and your arrangement. Great to hear a track of yours again after some time off the site. Regards, Dan

Thanks again for your appreciation.

The ending just isn't good enough. A bit of wind down but nothing definitive or particularly interesting. Good endings are hard to do!

Yes, I'm not on the site much these days because of a serious drop in my musicality and ability to produce decent music. I think I only uploaded 4 tracks last year.

Thanks for the thoughts.

Hi StaticNomad,

First i was curious to listen to this track when i saw "drum'n'bass". I didn't be desapointed: a melt between modern and ethnic... how i love the injection of oriental sounds in the second part!! this track is a real artistic performance! And the contrast between this energetic rhythm that turns 180bpm and the instruments that release a more aerial atmosphere, more vaporous, personally I love!
Congratulations!

Merci pour les mots anglais!

Yes, a nice meeting of modern and ethnic here. The oriental sounds (different sitars) in the second half are a fun surprise. Maybe I could have put some in the first half but it wasn't really necessary.

Merci encore, Monsieur le Bleep!

Description : New and kinda final version of track using acapella from JakeBuzzad.
Instrumental track recorded with Guitar, Bass, Drums, Keyboard, MPD and various percussion then vocals and movie samples added in cuebase (all samples taken from public domain movies from the 1940s-1960s.

It should now be in a half decent stereo mix - however, I am deaf in one ear and it makes it difficult to get the cross over right so feedback / comments more than welcome.

Thanks

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.

Only 1 sample used: Explosion-sfx by cbbk (2024).

Put on your dancing shoes and enjoy!

Description : 'On My Own' is a song about a man who is living the SIGMA Male mindset/grind set! A man always alone, so alone that only God is his his companion. This is deep house music, with Arabic sounds and a sweet Western vibe. Hope you enjoy it!

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.
