5 Centimeters - Siensystem
4th Feb 2010 04:52 - 16 years ago
Description : 06/Feb/2010 Update: Updated the track with changes as suggested by several reviewers. Lowered the reverse piano that was overpowering - Jahknow's suggestion. Also added a bit of distortion as suggested by Michael (still experimenting so it was added on a single area @3m43s). I added 4 additional SFX in certain areas(@1m44s, @2m, @3m12s, 3m58s). Corrected some levels a bit. Added an ending kick that was missing from the last version and some minor panning changes. The changes are minor but they do add quite a nice fullness. Slowly but surely, as they say.

Hey everyone, I've been working on this track since January literally every day. It is the only track I have been working on non-stop and it has somewhat become a headache to work with. lol. I finally have something I can consider complete. I had allot of ideas in mind and several certainly managed to make their way into the track while others, unfortunately, i was not able to include, primarily due to poor planning on my behalf. Basically, some things I thought were "final" and were done in such as way that is now very difficult to go back to and adjust. Lesson learned. :)
I wasn't sure of the genre but it's somewhere between ambient, glitch/idm, and progressive electronica. I wanted to have as much variation as possible in the way things flowed and hopefully I accomplished that. I also applied a few things I've learned with regards to clarity and levels and hopefully the track sounds nice, rich and punchy as well. Please let me know how your speakers react.
This is also my very first glitch-styled track. Might do another to learn more and apply some ideas not able to be added to this project.
And I guess that is all. I really hope you enjoy and please any ideas or suggestions are really welcomed. I struggled a bit with developing the track so please share your ideas.
Thanks.

Description : lmk if you wanna use it. btw its a short version






Ultimately it was worth it.
I have to be honest.. the simple motif (psh) .. the drums.. alone had to be a jigsaw.. I always admired that .. I always like.. Trying to accept that you were baddass, and that I shouldn't stir the pot unless it was getting cold.. and I took the LinnDrums to the extreme with some 808.
I played some real violin too..
I was gonna e-mail you, but it's been a long while.. April since you where on, and my e-mails are a current mess.
Anyway.. this song, despite your general apathy has a lot of emotion.. I often wondered what 5 centimeters really meant you know... In a lot of ways.. I think I do..
But..
I will never forget you man.. If nothing else... I have all yer e-mails printed out and I always look fondly on your work... The universe and some of the bass excursions you did back in the day lol...
Cheers man, no worries if you don't like it!
It's basically rapping your idea.. ... It's the only way I could make it work for me lol

Some hailstorm wine cheers your way!
I hope to someday see you behind blinking lazer lights and fog machines!
keep it up.
abe
PS, this is just a straight up observation, dupe up the strings, and then reverse some, add some delay and then on a few and some cavernous reverb...
after you have an ensemble of string samples, start to intermingle them along the tracks progression?
just a thought.
You know how I feel about this track lol
PEACE LOVE AND TECHNOFORVER
Outstanding track! dled! Thank you!
outstanding composition.
uber kudos!
Absolutely brilliant man. Truely 1 of a kind.
There's a multitude of sounds in this production that on paper would shout out conflict and frequency saturation,but I found ever phrase,passage and audio semaphore articulate and well defined with an overall sheen that delivers up a superb sound experience.
The great enemy of creativity is complacency and on the other hand the opiate of self indulgence resides....There's a great deal of seamless continuity apparent here with enough changes to make for an exciting musical progression....great work on all fronts..cheers planet
well laced one here. the minor melodies are very catchy. yet still glitchy. well done sir!!
