Opened one of my oldest flp tracks (2005/6ish) in FL Studio 10 and gave it a good @#$%ing.

I like that last snare hit - this deserves a 33-1/3 endless scratch loop release - fluid no kitsch but weirdly vinyl-sounding synths/keys - cool vox presence

My kind of stuff. Blending orchestra and electronic. Awesome synths. Like the fun light hearted ending to an overall dramatic track.

this is a track which i like for its mix of genres it sort of had a orchestral feel at the start then sort of merged with this dance beat quite well it is very well thought out and sound quite complex.

There's a cinematic vibe going on here as well, and your opening sequence reminds me of a lot of Peter Greenaway's musical choices. Then of course it mutates several times into distinct movements. Very interesting moving from contemplative trancy bits into head bobbing rhythms. Nicely done on several levels.

Greenaway's Last Supper - that was a trip! The opera woman goes Wild. And at a few points did I hear why you might say that! Last Supper thing was interesting, I think it's sort of reminiscent of what we do with music and the remixing and all on this site - it's like he was remixing art.

Contemplative is the word. I wish there were a contemplative genre on this site.

Thank you so much for the review, I will continue to contemplate that comparison into the night!

Great track! I would definitely add it to my iPod. The harp-ish instrument at 3:11 is a bit louder when it comes in which kind of pulls me out of the trance the rest of the track creates. Excellent use of overlapping textures.//Review of Update: The sound at 3:11 now flows - great job! From 3:33 on, did you change something? Maybe I'm just hearing it differently because the flow wasn't interrupted. Also, the track seems to end rather abruptly. Oh, as for genre, I'd vote chillout.

Your string work is great in this. Good chouice on bass too and your synths are real dreamy. The bass towards the end gets really good. Nice work Califken.

Good use of snyth's, good intro, work on the transition around 1:20 sounds like a whole new track was put on! Add a little more compression to help give the track more of a solid feel. I could see this track taking shape, and good use of the bass riff, gave the song a melody.

Keep Rocking

Would a good way to make that transition around 1:20 be to foreshadow a bit with that new instrument that comes in by bring it in progressively before that point? That's the only that comes to mind to make that happen. I really appreciate your input! Thanks.

I like how the synths sound like they're warping together on this track. The beat has a bit of a hip hop flavour to it, but that doesn't take away from the enjoyment. Really nice mixing! Great work!

EDIT: This sounds quite a bit different from the first time I heard it. Sounds very good. A little techno-ish.

Description : "Tears of the Moon" is just a melody practice of mine, so that's why it sounds a little sloppy, as always Don't forget to share your thoughts and ideas with me. They help me a lot with improving myself. Special thanks for KayOs2.

Description : Shorten My Days is a deeply personal prayer about examining the true intentions behind our relationship with God. It wrestles with the uncomfortable question of whether we seek Him because we genuinely love Him, or because of what we want from Him and the world around us. It is a plea for God to strip away selfish motives, sustain us through life's battles, and teach us to live in a way that brings glory to His name.
Guitar: Nameless.

Description : 'Main Barbaad Ho Gaya' means 'I got destroyed in loving you'. I had created this track last year. The vocals are AI. However the music and the tune is mine. Hope you enjoy this tragic love track. I was inspired by the Bollywood movie 'Saiyaara' when creating this track.

This started as a bandlab beat called Gridlock. Just mentioning in case someone wants to go get a clean version of the main backing track.
