Description : I made this with hip hop in mind, however as usual my tracks don't always go quite as planned haha. It turned out pretty ambient, and slightly dramatic. I used a combo between Thumbjam, Drumtrack8, and tweaking done in Beatmaker.
As usual, headphones are highly recommended.

I think every note in the piece is sweet from note one to note last (although it did seem a tad sudden :-). I even dig the title. This is a great ambient piece. Very well put together.

Haha yeah it does pop a bit, not the best example of transitioning lol
Thanks a lot John, I actually was thinking about people who stress w? somehow that out too much you know? try to plan everything and then trip when it falls apart.
somehow that lead to the creation of this haha.
Thanks for the listen John :)

I like the meshing of orchestral and hip hop, can't go wrong with that in my book. Nice production, I think it sounds just fine as is though would consider extending the break at 2:05 so it's much longer and more dramatic, this would extend the whole song and make it sound a bit more polished/complete. Great tune. - DF

Thanks a lot man, I agree, orchestral hip hop is a beautiful mix. I'm glad I pulled it off well enough for you to enjoy. I'm actually going to extend that break now bro, just because I agree with you on it. It rebuilds too fast.
Thanks for the listen.

I think the percs go well with the strings cos they're quite minimal.It's an unusual track and pretty original...which is hard to do nowadays :)

Thanks =) I see this as a little downtime piece. Also I feel like its really good background for painting n ect., thats how it comes off to me lol.
Original is what I enjoy being :)
Thanks for the listen!!

Really interesting. For me very dry sound, lo-fi experience, no reverb at least a little. This is not so typical for ambient. There are no roomy, spacey sounds. This is electro with a classical groove. Nice work, but it seems to be unfinished - loopy and track needs mastering.

The intro had me.
The drums lost me.
I was totally feeling the classical/almost ambient part of the song, and then....they came in.
Not to say i didn't like the drums, they were programmed very well. i like the depth of the bass drum and the arrangement of the drum track itself.
i just dont think that they meshed well together as an "ambient" type of song.
I think they would be better suited as 2 seperate or individual songs.
hope this helps.

To be honest, I at first tried to make this into a rap track. Thing is, as it progressed, I went back to my roots with the ambient feel. Ive always maintained strong percussion in my tracks, so I couldnt help myself here.
However your comment is heard and I may just make a diff version. Only time will tell =P
thanks for the listen.

Description : Name: You're Not Here (it won't let me use ' in the title)

Atmospheric liquid drum & bass meets deep house and UK garage, blending rolling breakbeats, deep sub-bass, chopped ethereal female vocals and nostalgic late-night ambience.

Description : I wanted to create something dark and romantic with an RnB and retro wave touch. This song has a retro futurism feel to it. I was inspired by The Weeknd when I was writing this song, especially his first mixtape, House Of Balloons, hence the deep roamntic analogies in the songwriting. I have sung this song myself and produced it too. No AI used here. This is an old song.
