Description : This song started as a two chord piano hook that reminded me of a "GirlsGone W..." infomercial, and was built fom there. It sat on the "shelf" for a couple of months, until I added the scratch tracks and reworked the sound field placement. It was composed on Reason 4.

if only all hip hop was this intelligent, unsettling and off-kilter

Nice minimalistic sound!...the space between chords sometimes gives rise to the "it factor" I think this tune has it,not too busy,not too overly complicated...it's just perfect as a vocal vehicle....I'm just imagining what some psyched up rapper could do with this and then maybe drop a little super compressed bass note on the start of the bars....another cool sounding composition...cheers Dave :)

...listen closely and it will tell you where to go! I sell my music to production libraries for use in production environments, so they don't follow the same flow or guidelines that mainstream music does. That's why my songs are shorter, and tend to have a rhythym/foundation/pad/lead/fill (all the elements of a REAL, non-minimalistic song) change up throughout, and aren't geared towards the same path that mainstream music takes. It's done...and it's sold! cha ching! Thanks for the review

The simmering piano really defines the track, while the scratchin gives it a nice edge. The scratchin is definately great. Great piece.

This is a very plesant track to listen to, very relaxing. I have no suggestions on how to better this track. It seems quite fine as it is.

I love the scratchin, hella tight. This beat would be so good with vocals. The flute and piano , and the baseline are perfect. What is that windsound at like 1;06? It sounds cool
DJSchmeeJ
DJSchmeeJ replied Unknown - 2028 years ago
Thanks Becca! The sound @ 1:06 is actually the same breathy "cuckoo" sound in the main body of the song with a bit of compression and a bunch of reverb to it to give it an "airy" feel. All from Reason 4 factory sound and refill packs.

Some interesting chord changes here DJ,I agree vocals would pull this together.

Hey Allen, thanks man! I thought I was the only "non-20's" guy on here! I love your profile comment on what your music sounds like! It's hard to break out of that when it's whats in your blood. When did straight up rockin the freak out go out of style? Listen to "Local Hero" and see if you feel a lead in your bones for it (another track screaming for vocals!)Love your work, man!

Hey thanks. I think it needs a vocal track to wrap the music around and give it a little more framework (and direction). Wish I knew a good rapper that had some words for it!

Description : Deep beneath this house stand forges no hand has lit in decades, their iron cold, their bellows collapsed to dust. Yet I return to them still, tracing my fingers along soot that remembers heat long after the fire forgot how to burn.

Every wound I ever shaped, every choice hammered white-hot in some forgotten year, still holds its form within me, cold now, but never truly extinguished. Strike the right anvil, and even ash remembers how to spark.
