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.

Yo Scythe, Sick track, but actually my first reaction was the same as woundedbuffalo... I feel like the drums... Lack something? I feel like they're almost too muted or not quite as full as they could be. I guess I Like the beat, I even like the drums for an intro, but I feel like they really need to "kick in" at some point to really make this beat groove. Otherwise, those strings in thumbjam? damn son, what settings were you using if you don't mind me asking? I'm still having trouble with exporting sounds and the copy/paste function, but I'd love to how you use thumbjam so well...
Regardless of whether you change the drums, it's a keeper. Way to push the Itech

*Edit as far as the drums go, I think just adding over the top some bass with some "boom" and maybe a really tight clap over the snares would do wonders. Just a thought though

Yup, Im actually hearing it too now that Ive read your's n Wounded's perspective. Im going to go ahead and try and get more punch from them. As for Thumbjam, I commonly use minor scales because they sound much more sorrowful, which is a tone I really dig. I also do a lot of comboing between melodies and chords to really give the strings some depth.
Other than that, Id say just let the sound take you man. Most of the stuff I make, when it comes to melody, it's always just been me rolling with what feels right. I swear, sometimes I think Im getting possessed by my own mind and it's doing things I just can't explain haha.
Try just improving, having fun you know? and then build on it. Also, use both of those thumbs man, trust, it adds a lot of flavor to the sound coming from TJ.
As for the issues, take a vid yeah? send it to broken.scythe@yahoo.com and ill take a look and see if I can help.
Thanks for listening Thanx! Im going to go check a track of yours right now man.

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.

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.

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 : the other end of the scale from me, yep people, this is a ballad. its for all the people who have lost somebody long before their time was due,
i used my experience of tragic loss and how i hid my mental health issues that stemmed from it while writing it, its repetitive but has fresh verses
its to Matthias music Du Bist Nicht Mehr Hier almost the same title, He has suffered too that's why he wrote the music and dedicated it to his brother. i hope i have done it justice

Description : I intentionally made this song minimalistic. The drums I spliced together from some drum loops I had, there's one other loop in the mix, the rest of the instruments are played by me (bass and synths). I used the excellent (and free) Cakewalk z3ta+ vst and the BBC Symphony vst. My intention was to create a very simple and dream like ambient track. Feel free to download or comment. Feedback is always welcome. Thanks.

What do they listen to when they are creating the fabrics of Space and Time?

Questions that can maybe never be answered but only imagined. More tones and drones from the outskirts of the universe and Neomorpheus.
