Koukotsu

Lol i love how you didnt say Hell in the title lol.
Its pretty good! Id say make one part in the middle is hit HARD and then so back soft. IMO:)

i really like this track..nice flow to it ,.nice to listen to..ill have to try some..peace Dvibe

Yeah, this is pretty tough, digging the hats and cymbal splashes, timings are spot on, noticed this also in your track 'Fluff'...love the modulation on the snare sound, some more higher synth or string sounds might work a treat to balance out the deepness but I dunno sounds real nice to me.

W for wicked!

Enjoyed the listen and looking out for updates.

cheers.

When I first saw the title, I automatically thought about my belly button lol

Love the soft textures here and the padded beat, has a mellow trance feel to it also, cant find any criticism except make it longer but I see you already pointed that out, yeah could have easily listened to an extended version, again the melodies you create are just awesome, hope in time you plan on putting up some loops.

Beautiful!! defo fav :)

Cheers.

Very nice ambiance you've created with this chilled out track. It gives me that nice airy feeling, like floating on those big white fluffy clouds in the sky. Great job!

Repetitive or not, this song has some nice quality synths and keyboard playing. Lovely arpeggios. It does have a certain Asian flair to it in those arpeggios. Good job!

Loving The Music,

Fluff is am EXCELLENT name for this track! Ahahaha
I was floating in tha clouds while listening! Or perhaps

Love tha drum pattern here, and tha time signature!

WHOO HOO

Much Respect from LA

any word word outside ( BEAUTY FULL ) is no compatible to this trak'' loved it my friend.

Signature sound time? Salook's right, within 15 seconds of pressing play, if I'd heard it elsewhere I would have asked, "is this Koukotsu?"

You've got such a great sense of rhythm and melody!

Hey Koukotsu, so great to see the Queen of melodies back on the loop, listening to this track it feels like you have never been away...if someone else posted this track, I would have immediately thought of you, seriously its your sound as I remember it...pure MIDI!!....Looking forward to more of your work. peace.

This is really a very pleasant track. Has a happy feel to it which is more than a little welcomed.

Great work

John

I enoyed this, this song flows well.If I were you I would not make any changes, you'll lose the essence of the track.

Best track of yours so far! Would like to hear the final version.
cheers

Track takes you there... Work the brake down abt,1/3 in make it raw no fx, build up slow, add fx, and high,low tweeks,let that groove stay with you. for the DJ to mix in or out... very good.

koukotsu this is the first track i ever made. what do you think? https://www.looperman.com/tracks/detail/83241 maybe we could collab sometime : D

I agree with jfw in that you have matured a bit(musically speaking)since you were here last. I like the darker tone to this one and the pace of it, not rushed. That adds tension, I feel, and with the darker feel to it that adds up to a good listen, a bit cinematic too. Thanks for sharing!

Great chillout track, perfect for reading the Sunday paper or while painting a picture. Nothing to be critical of, just a nice, easy listening track!

I remember this little gem!! Hey, great to see you back and posting again. I think this could be made a bit brighter on the eq side of things but it still holds it own as far as a track idea goes. Great to hear your music again!!

some ideas:
1.) keep the dark undertone.
2.) i know its a trance song but i think the pace is too slow, not so much slow... the variety that is there is fantastic so it needs to jump faster through each section of the song. i think.
- This might sounds stupid at first but think about the really amazing trance songs, there is such genius and variety while keeping the same undertones. If you arent a genius yet at it or have enough changeups in the track and then cycle back older parts, then why not go for a faster paced but still trance-y sounding song. The darkness to it might not be a bad thing to incorporate more into your style. it too, adds depth and variety to whatever you do. why not go for the best you can make it. the most interesting. exciting. thts my idea anyway.
what do you think?
3.) im not good enough yet to recommend anything else xD

Sheep skipping on the Astral Plane?

I wish I hadn't read the name of the piece, because I'm dying to know if it's fluffy because you've planted that idea, or if as I suspect you've truly found "fluff" in sonic form.

We've been watching "Dreamkeeper" the last few nights (a bit at a time), and there are scenes of Coyote and Spider, the Tricksters, in their own plane of existence (the fuzzy boundary). Even on the third listen to this, I keep seeing sheep and what the archetype of soft-wool would be like in that Spirit Realm. I'm positive it would look just as this track sounds.

That is very, very cool indeed!

Doing this kind of music, I'm going to suggest when you have the time to pull up The Ambient Logbook thread here and spend some time browsing it. I think you'll find some really good ideas to draw from as you continue to explore "Floaty, spacey, weird" music! You do it so well.

I pulled this up, and ShojoBeast ran to the top of the stairs and shouted, "You're listening to 'Lizard Breath!'" I said, "How do you know that?" and she replied, "Because I have it on my iPod!"

How it is in 2011.

I'll bet you anything this is more "dated" in your ears than anyone else's. The last time I listened to anything I recorded 2 years ago, I nearly cringed - lol. Really it's not so bad, but I think like in writing, you can't help but think "I'd do that so differently if I was doing it now." Good sign really as it means continual growth.

So great to have you back on the site!

Sweet piece Miss! Reminds me of a anime girl running from something, a nameless creature, a shadow. Love it. Love it love it love it! Puts me in a creative mood.
faving and dl.
Miss Shojo

Hey! You're back! I really loved this track. Very fluffy. It reminded me of sheep and a neon dance party. (P.S. This is a perfect song for doing your homework!)
Good to see you again.
Miss Shojo

I had to do a double take.....my peripheral vision caught your name....Interesting that,and I'm glad it's turned out to be more than an ephemeral vision....very cool to see you back!...Everyone's music is a small reflection of themselves in some way I guess..this is full of energy,optimism and a fair degree of electronic melancholia......fantastic!! :)
