Very cool... laid back *AND* funky. I like the spoken word too. Not that I do such things, but I feel like I just got done smoking some weed after listening to this track.
Heee Glenn ya made my day and brought as smile to my craggy ol face. I would like to have that feeling for sure. Good to hear from you. Its like siberia out there i think the weather affects the music seriously chilled. Best regards Robbie.
As is often the case with your songs, the guitar part is definitely my favorite element. The tone and performance are both very pleasing and entertaining, while the composition of it does indeed give a chill feeling.
For some reason, the other elements remind me in a somewhat disturbing way of the stuff that came out around 1990. A lot of seasoned musicians were embracing the more new age, world music, ambient movement. At the time, I pretty much had enough of it, though it is not as annoying as it was then. Back then I was in rebellion, partly due to my age and the era, so it is not meant as a personal attack just some background.
The pads/strings or whatever were cool, though I guess I would prefer them slightly quieter in the mix. At times they seem to overtake everything with a lot of high frequency content. Maybe it would suffice just to remove some of the low-mid content to let the other elements shine through.
The drum sounds were cool enough, and would especially shine with some more variation. I fall prey to repetitive drums as well, so I understand completely!
Again, the guitar was the star here, and it is enough to make me want to hear it again!
yeah man, it's like a drug, I start breathing slower, it feels like I'm breathing in cold air, I like the first synth, and those guitar sounds, awesome guitar, vibrating guitar, superb, also nice beat
Sorry, I didn't mean use a guitar with guitar rig. I meant take the rhodes and put it through Guitar Rig to give it some FX/distortion etc. But you might be better off just using a synth or some other vst instrument.
That's a great idea I did not think to do that plus it means I can keep the midi n change the instrument I also can distort the Rhodes as you suggest I'll get on that today excellent suggestion thanks Robbie.
Love it. It has a strong cinematic Sci Fi Feel, with a nice groove. I didn't like the Wurlitzer/Rhodes sound that came in at 1:22 and toward the end. The notes were ok, but I would use a different texture. It might be as easy as putting it through something like guitar rig or other effects vst and adding some distortion etc.
hey Glenn good to hear from you are right about the rhodes sound i wanted something to contrast the pipes i did not think that a guitar would have worked i'll give that a try at a later date thanks for the input. On a separate note i'm finding vocs a real pain to deal with that blue misty track could hit the circular file. May the force be with you best regards Robbie.
Listening to this makes me realize that I need updated synths. I love what you are doing with the Dune. Are you playing the parts on the keyboard? Regards - Dan
Hi Dan,
I just had another look at that this track there was more work in it than i remember i used 2 tracks which were dune 1 the first synth they made and one dune 2.5 . I also used massive and Papens Blade synth. I used the keybopard for the pipes which was from massive but i created the pipes sound from inside the synth using some wind instrument i think it was. It is not a preset. Synapse did a deal on the two dune synths they included dune1 cheaper if bought as a pair. I think dune 2.5 is on of the best sounding synth vst out there. best regards Robbie.
Bleep hows it going man good to hear from you. I had to spend some time finding something i could make to sound like a bagpipe but i thought it was near enough to work. As far as the rhodes synth thing at 2.29 i agree im not a fan of it myself but i wanted a variation to the bagpipe sound probably needs more work but im on to another track as usual gotta keep working or my brain stagnates that and having the attention span of a flea does not help my focus heeee :).
I like it. Heavy and psychedelic. The intro and the constant chug, coupled with the laid back lead make you feel like you're out on the road. Mean and free. Cool stuff.
Het Toasted avalanche thanks for the comment you jogged my memory to lookup the soundtrack from the movie easy rider i loved the steppenwolf track on it born to be wild there was some really great stuff on that soundtrack, i think i had that in mind when i came up with this. Best regards Robbie.
hey this is so dry and this means cool...those rhythm guitars though very underrated in volume and for me the drums are too harsh...but if you don't calculate this, I welcome this 'live' music here...

Awesome track here! i love the celtic approach! i'm less fan with the synth which start at 02:29. (i know it's not one but it sounds like a rhodes)
So, the electronic background create a specific atmosphere with the celtic touch, i really like this kind of melt! congrats Rob!
