Etude - The Power To Believe - Killick

Name: Etude - The Power to Believe
Duration: 578 s

Description: Decided that I wanted to return to the True Minimal area and explore that ambient space a little more. This time pulling more influence from the rock/electronic side of my influences. Bonus points if you can tell me what band/album I'm quoting without looking it up. Also, just wanted to say a big thank you to all of you. The LM community has been so kind and supportive. You all rock!

The emotion evoked feels like your trapped in a space ship and ground control has been disconnected. You've become isolated. I get Pink Floyd / 2001 A Space Odyssey imagery in my mind.

Killick replied 10th Jun 2022 - 4 years ago

Wow, that a h*ll of an image but I can definitely see where you're coming from. Glad you enjoyed!

Wow that took me on an epic journey!

Killick replied 19th May 2022 - 4 years ago

Me too, this one took me well over a month of wrong turns and dead ends lol.

Thanks so much. Glad you enjoyed!

Wow...still listening as I write. Obviously much thought & talent went into the composition & instrument arrangement...very patient build and your vocal performance is totally on..the big space fits the atmosphere and instrument space..the instruments carry the rhythm nicely without percussion etc. Love the last section switch to the key prog and rich pad layers...superb piece of music Killick...fav....keep on...Ed

Thanks so much Ed!

So much drama and power in this track, it's amazing! You really know how to fit music to your vocals, they really add up! The spacey ambientlike sounds in between keep it interesting and even mysterious at some points. Maybe at some point a bit of drums might even enhance the track even more but I understand that without it is very rich already. Thanks for sharing!

Killick replied 19th May 2022 - 4 years ago

Yeah I thought about adding some drums but programming drums isn't something I'm very good at. But I'm working on it! Thanks so much bro.

i love this lot of depeche mode sounds here of early days

Killick replied 19th May 2022 - 4 years ago

You know, I never thought of that. But now that you mention it... You're definitely right lol.

Obrigado irmão!

Cam this is epic, you've captured the ambient space and then some, this ain't no track, this is a PERFORMANCE, stunning. The aura your voice carries is incredible,angelic baritone,church like, the instrumentation from the synth pads and that guitar it's giving in so many ways the keys are charming and build you up slow stabbs, I hadn't planned on listening to 9.39 mins, but I rolled one, poured a scotch and settled down. I would have paid to watch that performance bro, high five, faved

Killick replied 15th Apr 2022 - 4 years ago

Thanks so much bro. I've got a scotch collection of my own, so I appreciate what a compliment that is. Glad you enjoyed it that much!

Hey Cam.
This is a brilliant track mate.
Great track.
Well done mate.

Killick replied 6th Apr 2022 - 4 years ago

Thanks Maj! Hope you're feeling better now than you were a couple months ago. It's an honour to be making to music in the company of such high calibre people, such as yourself.

kingmt77 5th Apr 2022 09:12 - 4 years ago

Can, so this listen for me personally was simply “MAGNIFICENT”! From the vocal treatment to the guitar and then that majestic piano and synth work. And it’s genius how the lower synth notes maintained the tempo and kept everything moving nicely. Top production Cam.

Thanks so much Mark! I really appreciate your ongoing encouragement, it honestly means a lot.

Very special and great guitar work...beautifull!!

Killick replied 5th Apr 2022 - 4 years ago

So glad you enjoyed Rita.

ClickbaitCabaret 4th Apr 2022 15:57 - 4 years ago

great guitar work on this. Kudos.

Killick replied 5th Apr 2022 - 4 years ago

Thanks man! Much appreciated.

theHumps 4th Apr 2022 12:29 - 4 years ago

First things first. I can tell just by looking at the waveform you added more volume to you mix, that's a good thing!

Great intro, your vocals are strong and the dreaminess of the pad behind it is nice. The guitar adds the opposite of the pad, some gritty sound to oppose the pad. The piano is incredible. Epic song Cam, quite a pleasure to listen to!

I'll take a guess on who wrote the lyrics. Was it Eddie Vedder from Pearl Jam?

Take care!

Wayne

Killick replied 5th Apr 2022 - 4 years ago

Hey Wayne, thanks so much. Generally I do try to make my mixes fairly quiet and then pull the master up about 6-8 db. Oddly, I've started looking for the same thing in waveforms that you noticed.

Also, great guess but no! Now that I think about it, kinda does sound like one of Vedder's lyrics doesn't it?

Jynxz 4th Apr 2022 04:59 - 4 years ago

I think this is the first 9+min track I've listened to on LM.

Your Vocals are perfect (of course). The panning Synth at the beginning was a nice touch, it drew me into the track and wouldn't let me go. I really like your choice of Electric Grand as well as the other Keyboards and Pads.

The entire production is exquisite.

Great track. Faved..

PEACE...

Killick replied 4th Apr 2022 - 4 years ago

Thanks bro! Means a lot coming from you.

Description : Technology is a great thing. But I'm glad to know that if it ever fails ... or simply isn't there ... I can always play my guitar or drums, or just sing. In any case, the power didn't go out during this production ... so it's electric. And eclectic.
