Really cool track bro. I like it!
I would like to hear extended version too.

Might have to do two! But I think I've decided to stick with my original intent and keep it short and minimal without drums. Possibly partly out of laziness lol. Cheers Chris.

The best thing I can say about this track is that it sounds organic to my ear - as though I just plucked it from a tree, ripened and ready to consume. No adulterants. Just good, wholesome ear-food.

Thanks for sharing.

Organic is the best possible descriptor to me. And I agree. When I came up with the little sequence thing that runs all the way thru, that's exactly how it made feel. Thanks a lot.

nice ambient track Chris, got a bit of zen about, love the clicks and pops all the percs work great, lovely melody too, i like the drums but i love a track when the drums don't play right thro too, the synth work alone will easily carry the vibe, so for me, extended it but drop the drums for 4 bars or 8, but bring them back and drop em again, and finish with them quieter or just the melody, these are just thoughts mate, but tbf its all there so however you decide your gonna get a great result because the sound is all there, hope thats a help,nice work nontheless

Zootman replied 2nd Feb 2026 - 1 month ago
Thanks for the input mate. Some of those clicks and pops aren't supposed to be there, though some are. I'll have to track them down when I take another look at it. I did the tracking for this in about 2 hours at the kitchen table, trying to ignore my domestic duties lol. Anyway I've kind of decided to leave it pretty minimal. Cheers mate.

Once again you prove that humans make the best music. I absolutely love an electric piano, and this lovely track gave me plenty to enjoy. Really smooth vibe with all of the pieces in the right place. Well done human!!! I hope all is well.

Yeah, Rhodes just have that beautiful sweet dreamy sound. I'm always looking for an opportunity to use one. Back when I was at school 40 years ago there was a real one in the music room. I've never forgot it. There was also a korg synth with all the patch cables.... We never could work out how it worked, but had fun trying. Cheers Zoot.

Nice track, guitars well played (I specifically liked those harmonic notes) in a rather dark scenery which very well supported.
It is an interesting theme, gave to my rather cinematic vibes, there is a mystery somehow.
Best regards, Anthony

Thanks Anthony. I love harmonics on the guitar. So pure. Cheers Zoot.

Hi Chris.
It's not my kind of music but I think it's an art how you bring everything together in the right way and make the music yourself.
Its realy sad that we need to say that it was made by human and not AI.I fear that human artists of music and videos will soon be a thing of the past when I see how many people now prefer to make and listen to AI music and make AI video clips.
Zootman
Zootman replied 15th Jan 2026 - 2 months ago
Thanks Rita. I think humans will always want, and need, to satisfy the creative urge. AI should just be a tool. But yeah, I'm not really interested in listening to stuff that is all AI. Cheers Chris

nice guitar work Chris, has a dark mysterious vibe, but a little bit of a zen moment at times, bass is grimy and the drums are cool, nice piece mate

I get the whole guitar thing, man. I have a B.C. Rich Warlock that was a pawn shop special. Like, maybe 99 bucks. It has bad wiring and loose tuning pegs. Honestly, I rarely use it. When I do, it's just to knock out some riff ideas. It's never recorded.
I have a couple of amp sims that I use. For the more industrial type that I do I use Nolly X. It's intended for more high gain metal. For the sludgier metal, and clean sound, I use Amplitube 5.
Honestly, I don't think the price of the guitar, or even the brand really matters. It's all in what you do with it. And what you're doing with it,...it works, man. Keep on keepin' on!
Zootman
Zootman replied 6th Jan 2026 - 2 months ago
Yeah, I'm pretty happy with guitar rig. I just scored a free universal audio sim that is good for clean and edge of break up. I think Neural dsp are pretty good too but haven't tried them.

Nice job on this one Chris - love it!
It all works super nicely together - vocal samples are bang on for the tempo and general vibe of the track. Second drop is pure magic!
Dreamy. Zoot time :)

Damn this is a lively track for sure! You really have a nice voice in the psychedelic community. Reminds me of the floyd as usual but you brought your beatbox drum in this and it goes so hard on this. Really digging it man.

Hey Chris, here's a oxymoron for you, the drums and bass gives tremendous weight but the guitar floats. Really nice spacing between all the instruments. The lower hz. range is FLAME! The bell cymbal is strategically placed and that adds to the already ominous tone of the track. This expression of your creativity is way up there.
Peace,
Mark

Zootman replied 29th Dec 2025 - 3 months ago
Thanks Mark, I often try to pay attention to frequencies at the recording stage cause I know that if I have to try to fix things when mixing I won't be able to, due to my very basic and non technical mixing skills. Thanks again for listening, I appreciate your feedback and insights. Cheers Chris

I wouldn't fret too much about the percieved value of your $150 guitar. I have an expensive Dean Dime from 2008 and I have a blue Washburn i bought at a thrift store last year. Wanna take a guess on which one I have used for 97.3 % of my songs that feature a real guitar? Hint: It is the one whose sound I like alot more than the other. It rhymes with Poshfern.
