This is really sweet...but I understand why you might think it's boring (a bit harsh, but most artists are their own worst critics). It's a sparse track, but not quite minimal which creates a kind of tension.
I love how it invokes a kind of melancholy happy vibe. Reminiscent of bitter-sweet memories.
I think your dissatisfaction could be easily rectified through several approaches. Obviously getting some vocals down is one way, but I think it's also possible in some other ways. If you 'dubbified' it a bit, I think it might be to your satisfaction. For example, pushing a bit more of the minimal approach by isolating single instruments right at the end of a cycle and then adding reverb and/or delay.
That suggested, I'd still like to emphasize how sweet the song is in this version. Outstanding work oasisduke!
I love the instrument isolation with effects suggestion. that might just do the trick.
thank you so much for the thoughtful review. it means more to me i could ever verbally express. my goal here is to become a better artists, and its helpful criticism like this that allows me to fulfill that goal.
cheers!
very sweet opening gating weaving back and away sounds. this is just right in it's amounts of newness, conflict and emotion whilst not being overly dramatic. very very nice ##### indeed. and it all backs away ... and that bass ..... mmmm..... that is so nice. it's like it's working it's way into my temples slowly with these headphones.
we really should collab sometime. i feel like you are so solid and like i fk things up just the right way that we'd have a solid piece that blinds em by the end.
lovely tune o girl. never a disappointment!!
:)
this just if anything needs to be fkd up somehow. just like ... rub some dirt on it, throw it at the ceiling fan for 8 seconds, but then catch it without missing.
Just .... you know. I am probably to cerebral about these things.
Your track is the jam. You should submit it to production libraries. you are too smooth to not be crossing the streams with other mediums.
thats EXACTLY what it needs...it needs some dust on it. i jsut dont know how to fk it up!
i would LOVE to collab with you. youre one of my secret sources of inspirado and musical mojo on here. i think we would come up with something luxurious! send me an email sometime and we'll chat it up in more detail :)
cheers for the listen and review. much appreciated.
Haha, great description. Yes this is darker than most laid back Caribbean music, but I could almost see a daring and serious couple taking this to the dace floor. I like how you pair up the bass with the steel drums. Speaking of which, Love those steel drums and the shakers are ill. Nice work oasisduke!
sank eww!! im so glad you enjoyed the steel drums. they were a bi*ch to work with at times, but im really proud of the way they came out.
cheers for the review!
What's really cool about this (imho)is how you've taken inspiration from the location, and then interpreted it into something that's really your own.
This is solidly grounded in Caribbean influences, yet it's no longer Caribbean music. I'm a percussion fiend, and I'm really digging what you've done here. Certainly motivates me to listen to more of your work. That says much.
what a great review. thank you. i am touched that you brought up the percuss on this, cause it is what i am most proud of on this piece. so glad you liked what you heard!
thank you so much. the first ones always the hardest, yeah? but now im excited to play with this genre some more...
cheers for the review and continued support...its much appreciated!
I don't know much about this genre, but I can tell you've created a very cool and interesting piece! I really like the groove created by the shakers, it's awesome! In fact the whole drum track is very cool! Catchy tune my friend, great work!
i see you been in a hip hop state to be honest i left hip hop becasue of the offensive words(and this is coming form a 24yr old)but i can dig an instrumental like this might DL it to hear if my cousin can rap it he's really good.
im actually in a state of no production right now... i have been putting up older pieces for feedback in the hopes i can tweak them a bit more to my [and everyone's] liking. i think my ecclectic library speaks for itself; i dont stick to only one genre. i do, however, like them all and love trying to learn the ins and outs of each of them.
i would suggest listening to other types of hip hop [especially those without lyrics lol] before leaving behind the entire genre, but you seem to be pretty set in your likes and dislikes of more popular forms of music. and thats ok. i just think you might be missing out on some really talented artists.
as always, your opinions and listens are greatly appreciated!
HELLO , I LIKE BOT OF YOUR TRACKS ....U HAVE A NICE STYLE IN YOUR BEATS ...MAY BE WE CAN DO SOMETHING TOGETHER ....LOOK ME UP IN YOU TUBE DJ ADAM MAD JAMS ...AND LET ME KNOW IF YOUR AVAILABLE TO WORK ....
I like the phone ringing hook. that's what I like to hear, artists thinking out of the box. bringing something different to dinner. Find God and keep grinding.
Now OD it's been a while for us to do something but I love this phone pick up joint it's hot you really did a wonderful job. I came up with a pretty cool Pella it. Let me know you want it
im glad you like it!
to be honest, ive really just been trying to find the right piece to fit your pella into...i ll find something eventually ;)
cheers for the review!
I love the sounds in this one... groovy as hell. Made me move a little bit. I like the reversed strings and the melody goes great with it!! Great work... its going on my favorites!!
Composition was smooth, Sounds were clean (a little synthy here and there). Im a fan of using the piano in most my production so I did enjoy the melody. Overall a solid track.
