Hi Califken, I agree! The intro is wonderful, I like the rest of the track also. Your production is very impressive, and you are doing some nice splicing work (I don't use this myself).

Nice!!!

Cheers Slap...

THANK U SLAP! // UPDATED - NOW this starts with just Mike's and my vocal part - then it plays all the vocals together, then it plays just the synthetic vocals with the instrumental - dance part is off the track until I tidy it up a bit -- :D

on Quiet Aftertrance by CalifKen
You bloody perfectionist! This is a really lovely piece of work. I especially like how you've shaken up and fused several genres here - and the result is really splendid. I love the bouncy Trance quality here, and that it is SOOOO Chilled Out, too. Really lovely arrangement in terms of placement and amplitude(s). The latest of yours I've faved!

This was actually the result of reformatting the track for my mom to have to play in her car!! I should make more music for mom. :D Thank you for the lovely review!! You've chilled the track for me even further. It's icy. ;)

on Get Out of Here FEAT Woof ALT v by CalifKen
Another CalifKen track added to my personal favorites. Man, not only do you have talent, you seem to be on some sort of parabolic or hyperbolic curve in terms of production. Keep it up - but don't flame out!
CalifKen
CalifKen replied Unknown
So it's kinda happened - I've started flaming out. And it was while trying to reach for the holy grail - trying to sound like Danny Elfman. It's no wonder I got burned. But I'm getting there!! Thank you for your thoughtful review S, I appreciate it.

A lot of different parts to this one. This must have taken some time to put together. Great beat and the synth was very strong.

on By the Fire Tonight ORIG by CalifKen
Wow. This is very cool work, and one I had to listen to twice before knowing what to say. Garage band? Huh. There are some things happening on those strings that really remind me of kalimba (finger piano) sounds - a little twang distortion that's really sweet. This entire track is beautiful, and your vocals work so well with the overall vibe. Faved.

CalifKen replied Unknown
I love your citing of the sweet twangy distortion in the guitar sounds. You've got such an awesome mind. Thank you so much -

I saw that your status said "By The Fire", and after hearing this I can tell it's true. This track has that warmth and sizzle to it. Very cool original work!
CalifKen
CalifKen replied Unknown
Thank you so much for consistently coming into my tracks and the compliments. You might be the coolest most positive guy on this site. We have similar review styles sometimes too - you really get how to foster artistic creation, motivation and encouragement - and you are still honest, and have good advice to give when appropriate. Big cheers S.

on I GAVE feat HOLLY by CalifKen
Naw vocal levels are fine and appropriate. I like this piece. A little funk, a little something else. The bass is somewhat subdued but seems fine in relation to the vocal. The end is a tad abrupt. I couldn't guess the genre on this one either cept I know I like it. Btw, you kept to one theme in this one. I like that. Makes your pieces more unified. This is a good one Ken.

I like how the levels come in and how there are a lot of different Instruments, it makes it sound more professional w/o sounding bad; Very Nice - But everyone in a while it would sound a little funny. Bedsides that it's very good!

CalifKen replied Unknown
Thank you veilx! Yeh I did some weird stuff with the beat that I don't think I should have - but too late now! I will probably fix and update after this month. Thank you for the review!! - K

passing through to check out some cali soundz man, i dig the pads too, but the drums need something cause they seem underpowered in the mix against the nice keyboards, anyway hope i didn't cross any boundaries dude...thanks for sharing your work!

Cool track! The first part reminded me of DePeche Mode a bit. Nothing wrong with that.
