March Of The Machines - Orlando51

That's a great sound at about 2:37. And again at 3:45, with the delay... nice work.

Also, let me know if you want to make something, some complex chord changes to solo over or the like, if so just message me. TTYL.

Oh, Leon...what have you done?

This comment is probably going to take at a minimum, 4 listen-throughs.

I've listened to many of your songs. All of which I absolutely love. They all have so much depth and feeling. They always capture the beauty of life. Even in the more melancholic ones. But this one, my friend, in this one you go to a place that I haven't heard from you, but I always knew was there. However, you do it with absolute authority.

The piano in the opening is by far the most important moment of this song. They tell the entire story, in just those 7 chords. Everything before, and after that is just an explanation.

This is a very introspective piece, but it's also a perfect social commentary on the world today. Especially from the perspective of those of us who were here before the massive influx of technology. The beginning being a distorted memory of a peaceful, natural world. Those pivotal piano chords being the moment when you realize that all of that is gone. Overshadowed by what's to come. It could be health, age, or what I'm guessing it to be, the technological machine that has brought a darkness over us all.
But you know, even in the midst of the darkness, and the aggression of the lower guitars, and the chugs, (which I absolutely love!) There's still a level of determination and refusal to be consumed.

Dystopian.

That's how I would describe this track. I know you said that you used "Industrial" more out of necessity than reality, but I would certainly go with Dystopian.

Up until the drums come in, it's like standing in one point just taking in the surroundings. Looking at everything and how it's become a charred shadow of it's former self. Whether that's literal, or symbolic. But when the drums start, it brings a new level of determination and an acceptance of the fact that you need to just carry on regardless. The clean guitars, and the piano that's sprinkled in throughout this part accompanied by the guitars harmonics deliver a feeling of peacefulness that says you will still find the beauty even in an ugly world, and you will not be broken.

Leon, this one is by far my favorite of yours, and not just because it's a darker theme. I mean, that helps, but this one seems to tell a much more poignant story. It has a level of vulnerability that your other work doesn't have. I would even go as far to bet that you felt you were in a moment of weakness when you wrote this one. But let me assure you, this is your strongest piece yet, and it reflects your own personal strength and drive.
As an artist and a person, I have tremendous respect for you, so hopefully, I didn't cross any lines in my assumptions on a personal level.

Oh, it was a grand total of 8 listen-throughs.
Leon, as always, take care my friend.

This could be so good for a movie soundtrack

What a cool trip I went on as I listened. I loved all the effects/sounds you created and the atmosphere becomes dark and menacing. Seems like you have stepped slightly away from your expansive, beautiful creations you usually post. It's an interesting track, progresses nicely, cool dynamics. It starts off rather peaceful though, a little mother nature then some nice piano chords then it goes slightly awry. ;)

Take care Leon!

love the guitar chugs!!!!

I went by many names you know. Spd2, iNTERGALACTIC cHAOS, but you’ll know better as Pete Jon Tebar. Always a pleasure mate :)

Oh Leon, it's so good to hear from you. You are missed my friend. Incredible piece , I would love to hear it with vocals, I bet it would sound incredible. As always, stellar production. glad to see you back my friend, can't waut to hear more of your music. Until next time my friend.

Regards,

Cara de Sol

Nice track - somehow I missed this - some of those transitions as not quite as smooth as others but at least (unlike some of my own efforts) there are transitions and I think you have a really nice production/ sound

Greetings Orlando, If this genre is industrial i would say no. Still it has some elements in it though. But this sounds a bit rocky and more metal like than idustrial. Still it was a interesting piece to listen to. It sure has a lot of different elements and nuances in it. But it seems all to fit in this song. So it was definately something different than your other works i heard before. But still a job well done. Have a good one, Verdi

Rather suspense filled track this is. Very cool.

Like an awesome film score. Awesome transitions and a fantastic mix. 1:34 we change it up in tone and key.
The build-up is fantastic. It reminds me a little bit of Suduaya. great job Leaon.

This is so amazing, the amount of work put into this is just stunning for me, you are very talented, keep it up my bro

incredible work Leon ... prog/rock, if I could define it ... kinda movie soundtrack ... transformers or so :-)
in any case it doesn't sound like an ordinary sound of yours ... after a lot of chill it's a big refreshment ... :-)
more please ...
ValveDriver will love it, if he pays your respects here more often and catch this masterpiece ...
in the meantime, let's listen a lot ...

fistbump my friend, Danke

This has great sounds and the structure is cool. Forbidding, and a cool tension, always on the verge of something going down... Kept me on edge.

Wow. LM females watch out the golden man is here!!
Mate what to say about this track is Orrie's usual superb work.
Brilliant as usual and more.
really well done my mate.

Me gusta como suena. El principio es impresionante con ese piano poderoso y presencial. Los cambios son sublimes con esas guitarras y esas cuerdas saltando de un lado a otro. La mezcla muy trabajada. Bien hecho amigo Orlando51.
