Cool track, GO. I use to listen to more of the techno genres, but have since kind of put them aside. This one brings me back to those days.

Cheers,

I like it! Nicely done mix. I love the guitar and strings added to this piece. Ace job bro! =B-)

Yes, you are indeed trying out a good few styles. Modern production tools, eh? They're pretty versatile, aren't they?

I think this is probably the best I've heard from you and it has a good foundation.

Lead part coming on 0:57 is cool and there's good space in the track with the way that bass moves.

1:26 and a good new synth joins in - an even better part.

This already sounds quite sophisticated, actually, but with an easy sort of simplicity.

Effective removal of drums on 2:29, this is moving along nicely. Of course they have to come back in (and do).

On 2:50 I'm not keen on that lead synth sound - just a bit too cheesy (though nothing terrible) and could do with a bit more reverb.

Try switching that sound for a better one.

The penultimate section (3:10-3:40)is probably a little too short so try lengthening it, bringing back a synth sound or two, maybe adding another.

But it's overall it's good work, as my above words should clearly indicate!

hey man, job well done for your second orchestral piece, repsect!
i like both the arrangement and mix aspect.
to give you one tiny constructive criticism if i may: there is some sort of glissando/portamento going on in some of the legato string/pad sections, that stood out in a non-positive way.
i prefer to have a well-defined attack phase for the strings, but of course that is also a matter of personal taste. i just feel like it can make the strings or woodwinds sound a little more realistic.
other than that i enjoyed it greatly.
nicely done! :)

very nice, im glad to see someone using panning effectively. i would work on making bass section a bit deeper and more 'there' and some cymbals.

nice piece ! Well produced and the strings are amazing
Keep going bro

by 1:05 in you have found your way nicely (IMHO) i think you might look for a different sound in the opening (and for subsequent usage). i like the active quality - the counterpoint of different lines. a lot to work with here. all the best! Dan

i like your mix a lot. the notes when piano first comes in under sax are really neat. kind of non-tonal sound which I like (as you may know!) beautiful sax playing. i assume that is acoustic (if not - I am seriously amazed).

Most def, keep it up 4-real!!!

Dude let me tell you, you blow me away. I would love to spit to it.

Very Nice - good flow and well composed

Man, you got soul for the thing! Just let it flow!!!

Nice instrumental work!

hard bass wobble just sounds sick.good beat.

Nice Sound build up fam, Relaxing but still has some edge to it.

Hello ....

Me, I believe that it's well, because your concept is original, with enough variations to give interest ....
Thank you for sharing this moment and these harmonies.
I encourage you to persevere in this way ....

Ah... the Massive, if it wasn't a VST I would hug it everyday. Interesting pitched kicks. It sounds really great man! Nice composition, great sounds.

Nice Track man

sounds nice! good work

This is dope. Haha, you were right when you said it was a chill beat. I like this man. Keep it up.

I think you did a good job. For that special her, she will like. The instrumental is talking some experience shared. Them holding on moments within the piano. The flute of journeys. Pads that bring spacial orbit round a thoughtful image of her face in light. Vivid music. Thank you for sharing this with us. Enjoyed the peace here.

Thanks for the offer, Ookami, but I have so much music and so many tracks and albums to finish off and master. I do very much want to work more with others on new stuff but I prefer to do it by getting together with them in the same room (unless I already knew them and then it could be done over the internet). But good luck with this and I'm sure you can make it even more interesting and perhaps two versions eventually. Maybe work on it more and then contact me again to see if I'm interested...

Great start to what could be a really good piece. I would suggest adding some other instruments though I am aware that people do make pieces like this (and of this length) with just one. I'd also suggest doing one drumless version (as above) and one very much with drums. The one with drums doesn't just have to all be, say, progressive house. Perhaps make the drums move through hip hop, house, d'n'b and so on. That could be a really interesting approach. So, make the changes in drums the progression rather than anything else. Just a few ideas if I was working on it...

not simple! that is an amazing and enveloping and developing solo that ... oh man Terry Riley hasn't done this for years but that makes this better - deep deep listening gem!

Get some quality acoustic drums to make it more metal or rock. Loops would work but much better would be some hypersampled drum software in which you prgram all the intricate fills and cymbal crashes etc. Lots of this sort of software (maybe all) comes with excellent MIDI files from professional drummers so I would suggest that as one of the best ways to achieve what I think you want. Obviously some guitar would make it more rock/metal. Good luck.

Very interesting and refreshing approach on this tune. I hear 8 bit elements that old games use to sound like, takes me back many moons ago. Keep up the good work!
