My Gaia (World House) - DonnieVyros

Yeah, I hear ya. Percs and drums are where it's at with music IMO. I think they serve as a great cradle for learning how to make music (good for form and measure).
As for catching onto something, that's why I almost always start a review on the second play. So I can give the entire track the chance to go through once without self-induced distraction (of thoughts and typing). It's very rare for me to write something off and when I do it's usually the message that does it in (the curse of lyrics and all that).
As for effects, sure I could monkey around with this in trying some dif stuff. Since I love to do that sort of thing. Glad ya dug it. Later on!

Yeah mate, I was. When I started this track my goal was to make a House track, but as it progressed I soon realized that just doing simple house stuff on this didn't really work. So I started venturing out into other areas trying to find the right sound for it.
As for experimenting, yep, def did that. I even messed with workin in some tone changes to the kick drums about have way through. Glad ya dug it. Later on!

Prech that mate. The other is something I try to be on all of my tracks & creations. Later on!

Cool deal mate. Yeah, I'm becoming a big fan of note placements and arrangements. It's nice to see how one sounds with another, ya know? Later on!

It's odd that ya mention Jazz musicians, because for a few months now I've been trying to emulate their way of searching for new approaches to making music. It seems to fit perfectly with my 'experimental stance' with what I make.
If fact, I recently watched this program on PBS about Winton Marsalis about how is band works together. On it there were different members of the band discussing how they purposely wrote music to challenge the other members of the band (all in good fun though, nothing of spite). It was so great that I left feeling inspired, like their love for music and eachother made me want to be like them.
Though musically, Jazz hasn't always been my cup of Tea and even today, there's only some forms of it that I fancy (classic swing, for example, just love it).
As for the blend on this track. I guess I've got some Eastern preferences, because here I was basically trying to marry Caribbean and Indo-asian styles/sounds. Which was kinda easy since the two forms of music are really similar to one another (atleast percussive and tempo-wise). Glad ya dug it. Later on!

Yeah, I am too (perc junky) and the I thought the Bells were great, but in a spaced out and vacant sorta way. Like I probably couldn't've gotten away with using them alot, ya know. As for the rest, I'll prolly rework this sometime during the summer. Glad ya dug it. Later on!

Yeah, the groove of this is kinda different coz I made it in stages at different times.
As for blending genres, I think that & experimenting are my favorite things to do with music. Glad ya dug it. Later on!

Yeah, I think yer right lil bro (if I remember right). I'm a bit rusty at the mo' coz I've been drankin, haha.
As for the track, yer gonna make me do it, ay, make me relisten to it? Haha, yeah those percs were what I first started with and I loved 'em so much that I hadta do somethin with 'em.
I'm thinkin the drum/bass part ya mentioned is one of the things that I was wanting to edit on this coz I've always felt that that part of the song was the weakest section. Didn't really know which way to go with 'em- do I drop the extra kicks, do I drown out & fade the bass, do I completely rework the drum section? I dunno, but when I do go to rework this I'm sure I'll have it sorted out. Glad ya dug it. Later on!
