I really like this track! I absolutely love the baseline! Very solid and steady. Nice job.

thanks, man. that is a killer bass loop, this is one that has years of trial in it.

Nice work mate - I think we are on a similar learning curve - except you are ahead of me! - I hear many of the things I like and some of the same questions I have ...I mean questions around how to introduce a little more variety and structure but how in doing so not loose the edge or sense of novelty in the track

ian, you are too kind to give these tracks a listen and comment, mate! this one especially is calling me back to it … whether to sharpen or blur remains to be seen! i would kill to get the space and definition of your sounds!

Welcome back brother, it's so good to hear your music again. Bravo xstokes, I love the tripiness of this track. I hear a lot of cool elements that blend well together, especially the synths selection. I think the vox sounded splendid and it is a wise choice to compliment the music. Oustanding production, keep it up :)

This reminds me in part of some of the music used on the soundtrack of the movie Drive. I like it.

This is a great piece of music which could well be double the length with things happening - it wouldn't get bored. You have a good way with synths ...

Loving the sound of your bass guitar here! I'm also digging your intro/build up too. For my ears though I wonder if you were able to change up the velocity of hi hat stokes? To me they all sound too similar and it feels a little too machine like, unless that was an intentional choice. I also feel like the vocals maybe don't quite fit with your track, they feel almost like an afterthought. That's just my opinion of course. :) I really like your track though and think maybe a few tweaks here and there would make it even better. Thanks for sharing!

hey todd! thank you so much for the great feedback, man. i’m pretty primitive, you know, and sometimes that’s a favorable attribute and then sometimes it just ain’t. with the hats i was aiming for an eno-type ‘rhythm bed’ to underpin what i wanted to be overtones. my reach far exceeds my grasp. ah, but i am in love with the pellas, it’s my setting that does the disservice.

Excuse me so much, I entered a comment by mistake intended for another song. The right comment for your song is the following: The use you make of the dissonant chords with respect to the voice is interesting and creates a situation of suspension and mystery. The percussion sounds good even if at times I feel distortions caused by the high level of recording. A cordial greeting

i truly am happy you gave a listen, thank you for the perceptive comments. it’s hard to get distortion right, i appreciate you pointing me in the right direction

I really like these sounds, the right amount of aggression for a singular and interesting song. The distorted glissato sound that punctuates the whole piece is beautiful. I also appreciate the minimalist arrangement structure. A cordial greeting

That dissonant sound that creeps in on the delay is cool. The vocals add to the feel of the song, pain, hurting but a sense of hope is there. Gave it a few listens, a bit cinematic as well, would work in a psychological thriller.

Cool!

HEAR me OUT,
I'm totally against this but I wanted everybody to hear just how good it is. it's frightening, shocking and, sickening wrapped up in one!

PS: The track is not AI, you'll know because of my mistakes. lol
