Maybe you could soften out your sounds? Make them a little more touchy when it's slow and really spark it up when it drops. Other than that, it's good.
Thanks for naming the genre 3 months after i uploaded it, was really wondering that one. Was sitting here just really thinking about the genre it was killing me but now you have relieved me of those thoughts, i now know. Its minimal chill out. Thank you sir, for your 17 character comment that clears everything up for me. I can now go on with my life without the crushing burden of what genre this is. Thank you good man, forever in your debt.

Well done technically and definitely has the out in space vibe. In case you don't know, my website is all about pairing music and art and I would be honored if you would take on something. Also - if you have a high resolution version of the art you made we can try to sell prints of it through the site. have a look and let me know what you think.

Haha yeah im on the site remember? XD
and about the art, when i say 'artwork' its not great haha, im somewhat ok in photoshop so i create little scenes and stuff nothing i would feel good about selling.
Thanks for checking out my stuff Dan :)
Nice to hear from you buddy
Reminds me to one of my favourite rock/electro/ambient group, Stabbing Westward...amazing work, one of your best...frezing and dangerous but beautiful and deep...
Very smooth track here with really interesting instrumentations. I'd def consider it Electronic. The vocals are very mysterious and on point. Billy, assuming it's who I think it is, has never failed with his vocal style on anything he's on. You two together made a very good track. I would bring out the vocals a bit more, however that's just my preference. Cheers!
Can you send me the vocal with the music? Two stems: 1 vocal track without effects, and 1 instrumental track. I could try explaining to you the basics but every song is unique. I can try my hand at mixing the vocal and making it at the forefront and then explain what I did to make it so, should you like the sound I achieve. :)
Like the intro X....Kudos to Billy..really dig the vocal. It is a minimal mix...I usually like that approach as it lets each instrument and part sit clearly in place....yet it is really quite hard-hitting. The brick wall limiting which I avoid seems to fit well in getting the big driving sound on the drums...I thought maybe a more prominent bass line (that moves around a bit)would kick it up a notch...enjoyed it...big well done to you & billy....Ed
BIG kudos, this track was DOA until i sent it to him. He sent this awesome vocal and i just ran with it haha
"It is a minimal mix"
Yup, i spent more time adding detail to a few synths and some weird sound design than going for loads of varied synths and sounds. Dont know if that was the right choice but seems to compliment the vocals well when it hits... i think.. haha
"The brick wall limiting"
To be honest i think thats more down to me not being particularly good at mastering, limiting, compression and stuff i can never get a good sounding mix without a somewhat brick wall going on.
"more prominent bass line"
Again.. more down to me not being very good at bass lol i tend to shy away from any big bassy sounds because they end up just sounding really bad
This production is almost perfect. The only thing I'd suggest is adding an electric guitar to play some type of melody to rid the beat of that empty feeling it has right now. If possible, maybe bring the vocals out a little cause they fit well with the beat. You should really get some more vocals on here cause this could be a hit. Also, for genre you should put under psychedelic cause it fits that way better than electronic.

If you don't mind leave some feedback on my tracks. It would be greatly appreciated.
hello :), yeah your right about the guitar i had the same idea but i just have no way of getting a guitar into my track so had to shelve that idea.
More vocals? we'll see.. maybe.
What do you mean by "bring the vocals out a little?" volume wise? or do you mean flesh it out and add more vocals?
Hmm yeah psychedelic seems to fit ill do that now! :)
"The sounds, that background + that kick pattern omg dude"
Some crazy synths in there, usually i'll make my own synths but for this i went out and messed around with some presents think thats why it ended up with a different feel than most of my other stuff.
I really wanna do another track like this soon but we will see :)
This is the kind of track that will put someone into a trance. I love the delayed/anticipated drum patterns. The synths and leads are very hypnotic, and have the power to really get shivers. Really smooth transition around 1:54, which changed the style, and set up the build up nicely. I would definitely submit this to a promo channel on YouTube or Soundcloud. I love this track!
"I love the delayed/anticipated drum patterns"
yeah its a strange drum pattern it was even stranger before i fixed it. The song is about madness so i guess an erratic kind of drum pattern (especially the hihats) was to represent just that.
"I would definitely submit this to a promo channel on YouTube or Soundcloud. I love this track!"
Yeah? never done that before ive always assumed if the track is good then people will find it but maybe ill give it a shot :)
Greeting Nova Noma! I am really loving the story this track tells. Without reading the description, I could envision some form of space travel. It was definitely an adventure. As always, great transitions, and smooth usages of leads, bass, and the subtle drum patterns. Cheers!
Once again, great job bub! Hillbilly Weatherman here. Just cruising through looking for some material for some videos again. Hope all is well. Always a pleasure to hear your sound.
Your music always puts me in the mood to smoke and chill. Very Nice man. Love the bass and the uh arp? I think it's an arp. I dunno. Great stuff, keep em coming
I really like how you balanced that lead at :45 against everything. It's subtle and yet doesn't get consumed by the 8-bit-style synth rhythm accompanying it. You'd be an awesome composer for video games in my opinion. Your music is different and yet very appealing. Great job.
hey brando, yeah would love to compose for games but just dont really know where to go or who to contact to make that happen. So ill just keep making music and hope they come to me haha
Btw just updated this with some minor improvements if you want to check it out :)
Really nice beat and instrumentals, and excellent vocals. Liked the style very much, and I honestly wouldn't bat an eyelid if I heard this on the radio.
Aye I saw your email bro. I play it few times, and I like the vocals. At 1:14 should of been the intro, that was a sick build up. I'm afraid, from 1:14 to 2:24 only stood out to me. I didn't liked the rest.
i dunno man i like the intro as is, it needs alittle more low end synths but ill run with it as is for now.
For the chorus, yyeeaahh that prob needs work and im still working on it so well see how it turns out.
As for 1:14 to 2:24 glad you liked :D the buildup is cool but i guess i prefer to have a cooler mid section than a cool intro.
Having a cool intro hooks people in,
But having a cool mid section is for the people who decided to listen past the intro. Does that make sense? haha i have no idea.
cool beat def...the idea that there isn't bass under the vocs is brilliant...no opinions...this is a full, magical track...hats off and handshake, Danke
This is really tight! Not your usual track. This features a mysterious, yet gentle style. The intro is very subtle with the bells sounding voice. The vocals is pretty balanced throughout the track as well. I love that lead section from 1:23 - 2:00. The vocals right after that section is spot on, as is the rest of the track. Very nice fade-out usage towards the end. I would really like to maybe possibly make a remix of this. :o Cheers to both Billy and you!
he GO, gentle.. yeah! thats a good way to describe it haha
"I love that lead section from 1:23 - 2:00"
right? its prob my fav part of the production, the way the bass and that synth comes in is pretty cool.
"would really like to maybe possibly make a remix"
awesome!, i might put together a remix pack if there's interest. Ill send you a message if i put it together :)
