YO yo !
well, I took you on a journey through the OMNIVERSE ...
you take me on a trip through the desert on a camel..
I thank you that there are no gunshots or bombings.
It sounds peacefull...
good job !

Mind opening and very creative. Listening again for more perspective. Sort of chimes in the beginning give you a sense of hiding in a hut. from the enemy. With your sinister melodic lines and percussion. Cool Clarinet sound. Which is mimicked by the guitars later. Good work overall.

Really nice cinematic effort Dan. Great use of percussion to move the track along from one stage to another. There isn't anything to really critique here....the mix is spot on, the composition is solid, and the execution is outstanding.

You really do have a gift for composing great music. Keep it up man, we need more music like yours in this world. Well done. I hope all is well.

Greetings. This has the kind of vibe I like. I do love all sorts of eastern sounds.

1:28 and the guitar riff reminds me a little of Tool. If you don't know that legendary, very special band, I suggest you check them out. Try a track called 46&2.

Main riff in this is a compelling one and you work it well throughout on different instruments. Clanging percussion is good and then that's joined by other metallic grooves.

Good music to soundtrack a Mongolian landscape.

Special link in case you've never heard my favourite Tuvan throat singing group, who have something in common with this track. Just listen to the first piece of music in this performance and I expect you'll be blown away.

I also checked out Promenade's track and I think it's great. Can't help but say I prefer it to yours as he's done more with that main riff. And I love the groove he used.

Still good work from you so well done.

ok, so I wrote something using fragments from your song:

a very enjoyable music so far... quite simple motifs that could be developed into something more, the simplicity opens a doorway to different possibilities... but still nice music as it is now...

I am enjoying the sense of urgency that this track creates especially from 0.45

Just a thought, maybe add in thunderous orchestral drums from 1.30 to create a sense of war/battlefield environment, should go well with the distorted guitars.

Keep up the good work brother Midi. - Billy

Hi:)

I really like all the melodic stuff going round in circles.
It reminds me of the american minimal-music composers.
Also the sounds you used have some kind of a tribal quality.
Nice work!

So, I could of swore I reviewed this one. Anyways, quality ambient track here midis. Love the synth at the end. I feel like I'm a moon man or something. Very good production, peace

Gramo/Neo

Very atmospheric piece, solemn but lonely. Very nice choice of sounds and the track developed nicely. Only criticism is that the track ended rather abruptly, but other than that, this is a quality piece of ambient. Good work.

Kind regards,

Steve

trippy and laid back
the starting, as everyone said, is so awesome....

I like this much, and I can definitely feel the vibe of the picture you linked to! The different instruments has some cool dynamics to them. I did notice around 2:25 or so, there was some distortion somewhere in there... don't think it was my system any way. Doesn't seem like it's in the last step, but somewhere earlier in the signal chain. Correct me if I'm wrong... :) I enjoyed listening thoroughly though! Fave!

Wow very unique and well done . It is great to hear something you have never heard before and i really appreciate the brilliant sounds you put together.

Awesome track midisparks! All the elements you used blended together perfectly. The mix sounds pretty good too. Nice work as usual.

I hear so many layers in this, such a complex crafted work ;)

I really love though how everything is mixed panned etc
gives it a real dynamic feel which is important

See you are still working on this?
Hope it will get finished soon then so I can hear it in it's full glory ;)

Wow! This has really come along. I honestly can say I can't recognize it from the 1 minute or so piece you originally posted. The one thing I do recall is the reverb you had on that you mention was removed. That part I would of noticed, it has so much more punch now. It showcases the lines so much better.

The piece is very complex. The solo, not sure what it is, sounds great. The drum pads that start after the break at 1:43 sound excellent on my headphones.

I did notice the long tag at the end. Not sure if that was on purpose or not :/

You combined some great sounds. Amazing to see this piece come alive. Great work!
RW

As others have pointed out this is like the intro to something bigger. I could see you adding so much on top of this to make it incredibly complex (my musician brain) But what a nice idea you have spawned. keep at it my friend.

I like the beginning instrument you selected. It has a very exotic sound, which reminds me of a rain forest. I like the overall concept, but I feel that some sounds get in the way of other. I like them all, it's just if the synth was turned down a bit and perhaps pan it to one side of the speakers? It just feels like they're all competing with one another instead of working together (this is how my mind works)

The ending was interesting, reminds me of China somehow. I think of the rice fields on an early dewy morning while Samurai get ready for a fresh strart... I dunno how this relates but I like it.

Keep 'em coming!

very dope sounds

Nice mellow piece, It has kind of an oriental feel to it and i see you've found the FL plucked machine. I like the tribal feel to it and the mix quality is on point. I like the panning effects as well. You are definitely getting better at this Dan.
Well done!

Well, it sounds great. but it definitely sounds like the start of or section of a bigger piece. Which is probably pointing out the obvious since you've named it in progress.

My suggestions, Danke had a good idea with slowing the tempo down. If you did that, I can imagine a Chillwave type of track taking shape. You can build the whole track around the main riff you have going. Drop in pieces here and there along the way.

About the main synth line. I would try taking the echo or reverb off it and see how it sounds. Maybe you already tried it, idk. But I'd be curious to hear how it sounded dry. It might leave more space open for other sounds. Does that make sense?

Just a couple ideas to consider as you try and flesh this out. You have the basis of a really cool track. Good luck with it!

RW

Yeah, good, progressive one...after those intro jam I would slow it down to the half bpm tempo and get some guitar riff (could be acoustic one) than get back to your theme from 0.52 (could be the chorus)...
I know that you aren't a composer who works with structures but this is my only 'chartish' attitude...:-)

Much respect, Danke

Good start to something interesting, I like those almost Japan flavoured
scales....
Nice One

Peace...TG.

A groovy track, you got here, MS. Sort of a new age or world vibe. The ending even has a Weather Report vibe to it. A good one to build on. Good Job!

Cheers,
Scott

Cool track very laid back, with lots of interesting things going on....
What I was missing was something to, join it all together....Maybe
I missed it, if it was there...

Very nice otherwise....

Peace...TG
