Hey Dan! i gotta say straight away im not a classical guy im more synths and 808's than strings and brass haha but with that said i really enjoyed this it was really soothing and calm which i enjoy no matter the genre.

Awesome work man!

The song itself was wonderfully composed. I can only imagine what you could do if you had the high-end VSTs. You told a story with the simplicity of two instruments and that in and of itself is an accomplishment. Great work!

Brado

Very nicely done! I love the simplicity of it, just two instruments blending together perfectly. I especially enjoyed the strings.

Hey Dan

Mate this hits right from the very start, love the feelings you have gotten into this piece, little bit of sad, hope, love...Excellent clarity of the mix mate, would go out on a limb and say this one is my all time fav track of yours, amazing piece, very impressed...FAV'D big time...Peace n respect matey...mosaic...Rarely download tracks mate but this one crying out to be downloaded, thank you for sharing this one...Mos...

Cool song

The Victorian era is such a fascinating time. The music fits the story and makes me think of that one I did a few years ago Moonlight dance. Maybe this is the same ballroom for both tunes, just different times, in mine they're all ghosts ;) There was a really cool series on you tube about household killers in the victorian and Edwardian eras, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_x0JgAo2v8 It's a wonder anyone survived! What's the competition? Not sure I'll have time to do much of anything, just have soooo much going on :/ I do know cigar box guitars were around in the civil war era though B-D

Wow.....the moment I heard your piece I could feel my spirit wonder off This the type of music where u find yourself zoned out in an attempt
to explore the galaxy yet in your body
Thank you, sir
Keep doing what you do

As a man who romanticises the Victorian era this is very pleasing to my ears.. I would enjoy a whole album in this style, it would make for great reading music.. You've captured your description well, although I did find my mind drifting back to my childhood, playing The Ocarina Of Time.. Great memories inspired by great music.. Thank you my friend :)

Hearing great music like this, and others here, I feel inspired to make some actual compositions.

This is nice Dan, peaceful, sullen, and a bit haunting. The chord changes are what is the best part, that along with a simple composition, 2 instruments. You captured the feel of the Victorian age with this track.

I also think the ending was cool, leaving it hanging is a great idea. People are not expecting it to end in the middle of the run. That's good songwriting!

Think I will check out that Victorian contest, I write in 3/4 from time to time so that might be fun. Thanks Dan!

Cheers!

I read the description ,then clicked on play.....Perfect fit for the scenario.Nice work

Def matches the type of scene described D. I like your recent creations, getting more involved and expressive creations man. Solid capture of old sounds and presentation is vividly entertaining. Hope all is well, keep going man! The picture on your site does convey the vibe closely, ancient mysterious I see you still working on. Awesome, thank you for sharing with us D. Peace.

Cool one :)
In a way it sounds like you made some -8 bit clasical postpunk in a dreamy cinematic way of electro pop- if that make any sense.
Very wild and very fresh. Also powerfull and uplifting one.
And sure it is wired hypnotic

I enjoyed it all the way from start to the end

great stuff Dan!

stay tuned

Lets all stand up and applaude for the annoying buggers that keep us awake in the summernights :p! Creative track you produced here. The synths are well chosen for the theme. The change of synths makes it almost like telling a story. Very refreshing production!

I absolutely love soundscapes, so this won my heart instantly, especially alongside the write up you offered in the description.

And I honestly could have listened to it for a lot lot longer, and in fact was quite disappointed when it finished.

I've only listened to a couple of your tracks so far, and really looking forward to to the rest!

Thanks for sharing :)

ahah "the little buggers deserve it" xd
nice track man

I certainly don't miss the mayflies, it's too hot here for those pesky insects. hmmm... bugpop. Isn't that the noise they make when hitting those bug lights?

Creative as usual. Now a days we have bugs in out electronic devices. Hearing the electronic music and how you shaped it made me think of those types of bugs out for a joyride, creating some havoc for unsuspecting targets. Is this the joy they would express? ha!

Take care Dan!

Love this sound structure. I was just thinking how it would sound paired with blast beat drums from the heavy metal scene. Or some kind of massive syncopated percussion. But then i am always thinking about percussive elements .
Good work

What's terrifying is the fact ants outnumber us us something like a million to one and they're super strong for their size! I think they found some food they're dismembering. If you've seen some metal concerts where the crowd in front (the mosh pit) is going in a big circle, that's the reference there. Definitetly something animated/cartoon of bugs dancing. Maybe the ants are having a ball after a hard summers work :p https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NWAIOuWoa6g I love these silly symphonies.

How about an ant mosh pit? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=asfDBdob1tA Makes me think of that animated Disney movie Ants or A Bugs life. Can't wait to see the pic it gets paired with.

Funk?? I'm afraid this is the wrong classification for this track altogether my friend. But with that being said I got more of a "Experimental" feel from this piece. Love the intricate, cartoonish-like banter of the tune, and the poly "synth" undercurrent percussion works well as an anchor to
all the complex melodies being played. I really like what you did at 2:42 of the tune with the switch up of synth sounds. Not for sure but kinda has that classic "Arp" sound.

I really enjoyed this track for it's originality and creativeness, very well done.

All The Best

Quite unique and inventive. This would make a good soundtrack for something... Good job!

Ciao,

This seems to have changed a lot since I heard it last... or possibly it is I who have changed? Either way, this is sounding powerful. It does not sound like clipping to me, but more specifically something which is mainly in the left speaker, which is probably a sample which is clicking when it is triggered or cut off. That is definitely the only distraction from an otherwise very cool creation. I like it much!

The Ugly Bug Ball moves into the 21st century! Burl Ives it isn't!This needs to be attached to some mad professor documentary about the soil and it's inhabitants.I'm thinking termites not May flies.

No comments yet? Well, I'll start it off. Nice track here Midi! Its very creative and gives off a happy vibe. The sounds makes this track different from other tracks out there which is always a great thing. I really like the percussion sound that comes in around 2:01. Its a nice add on. My only criticism would probably be the clipping, but that is something that can be easily adjusted with a few level changes. Any ways nice work here, look forward to hearing the rest. :)

Take care!

Whatever you are doing to get this at the desired level, it is working. I like the sound of this! In all honesty, when you are working "in the box" with virtual synths and effects only, then there is usually very little wrong with simply boosting the gain (normalizing or whatever). I say this, because most plugins don't have any noise floor. As long as it's not boosted until it clips, it will probably sound fine. I like the artistry in this one, it's atmospheric and unusual! Keep at it!
