Description : So about a week or so ago I was on here when I happened to notice this one advert for a competition being held by Free-loops.com & PrimeLoops.com. I decided that I'd check it out and after scoping out the loop pack this is what I came up with.
This song also uses a few loops from our buddy Drofon and a couple of samples from the site FreeSounds.org (thanks to digifishmusic & FreqMan). Massive kudos goin to those people. Yall rawk super hard!
As for the name, well, it came from the desire to use one of those in-flight messages to fill the silent gap towards the end. I also feel that certain elements of this track just remind me of being high up. Anyways, I hope yall dig this little House-ish piece I've come up with. Later on yall!

This is one of the subtlest house pieces I have ever heard. A very nice listen with creative use of silence.

Well DOne

All The Best for the New Year, My Friend

Thanks John. I did this during a time when I was trying a different approach to mixing (the constant drum fades). Glad ya dug it. Later on!

weird track mate i have to say, if i didnt know it was intentional i admit i probly wouldnt get it either. but i quite like this track the drums rolling in and out give it a real laid back cruisy almost ambient feel, i think youve captured the spirit of the track well with the title, it also kinda makes me think of rolling scenery (dunno if u get that or not). tho parts of the track dont seem to me that they would intuitively fit together they actually make for quite easy listening, thats big props on your part mate. and cheers 2 for bringing this comp to everyones attention, i know i had fun with it :)

Yeah, I think I do. Would it be anything like flying at a low altitude over some hills or maybe the dunes of a beach?
And I think you nailed it, this is geared to be a mellow house track. Not in the traditional 'go-out-n-dance' kinda groove, but the 'kick-back-with-the-big-headphones' way. So it's sorta like dance music for doing homework to or something.
As for the comp, it was an ad on here, but I figured it needed to be highlighted so that more people would discover it. Glad ya dug it. Later on!

yeah i know a few of theese samps, why does the drums fade in and out? and the volumes up and down, i just dont understand this track at all sorry, its just sample after sample gone wrong sorry

It's cool mate,
My original desc didn't really do a good job of explaining the song. I just edited it once to explain the drum treatment, but I suppose I could re-edit it to talk about the other stuff.
As for whatcha said, yer pretty right. I just took the samples and worked on makin 'em sound like they were being played out of a Radio that had just been run over or was about to have its batteries run outta juice.
Sonic experimentation, savy?
Try thinking of it not as a DJ/Producer who wants to keep people dancing, but as a composer trying to make music for a movie or animated short.
Or think of it instead as something that'd be played in a big club's secondary 'green room'. Not meant to be primary or mainstream. Thanks for the feedback though. Later on!

The drum beat is great in here , i agree with damann, a bit more consistency in the beat would really do this tune some justice.

Thanks for the feedback mate. You & others inspired me to modify my track description to explain that. Later on!

Hey mate,
Thanks, that was totally the effect I was going for. Almost meditative, ya know? (if you've never tried to before, do it, man, you'll love it). Anyways, glad ya dug it. Later on!

felt like I was at the Factory listening to a great dj set with the dance floor jammed, girl with their neon necklaces yeah that's the 80's. Great Chicago house feel, Frankie Knuckles would be proud to know that the music he help popularise is taken go care of, good job.

Thanks BPete,
That was the time that held the most influence on me getting into music stuff. Sure, there was the 90's boom, but that just served to reintroduce me to it.
As for Frankie, this is gonna sound so bad, but I don't own any of his stuff yet. Thanks for remindin me of him again. Now I gotta see if I can find somethin of his.
And House will always be my port of harbor. A place of refuge that I'll always readily return to. Glad it took ya back. Later on!

Haven't listened to anything of yours in a while.

I like those chords a lot.

I am not liking all the fading in and out of drums and when those chords fade in and out.

I like the drum beat though

Great track!

Hey lil bro,
Congrats on making red, eh. As for the track, well, you entered the comp so I don't needta say anything about the loop pack they gave out.
As for the rest, lately I've been trying to make my tracks more 'cinematic' (in scope, not sound/style). Messing with video related stuff at school has given me a new perspective on music. Kinda like, something might play cool, but what else? Where does it take the mind's eye when someone listens to it?? Stuff like that!
So I've been experimenting with the way I arrange my compositions in the attempts to trigger something in the listener's mind. So with this I went with a 'flying' theme and tried to capture everything that a person might experience while being in a plane (turbulence, pitching, Jet/cabin ambience, etc). That's kinda why I faded the stuff in and out like that. Glad ya dug it. Later on!

First of all, well done on getting mod status, you really deserve it. On to the track, I understand where you're coming from about feeling lifted up by this song, it's very laid back, but funky all the same, the pads fill up the song nicely and the mix is seamless.
Great stuff Donnie the Moddie.
Peace,
Helix

Thanks mate, who knew I'd end up being one, haha. As for the mix, they didn't offer that many loops in the pack so I hadta do a good bit of messing around to make this track seem fuller and in order to give it a decent length. Honestly, after the first half-hour I was worried that I'd even be able to make a full song. Anyways, glad ya dug it. Later on!
