You are def coming into your own realm of musical existence. Your music lately has risen and is reaching new levels, keep it up. Did you go straight in with the bass, did you use any vst amp? I'm always trying to learn how people get their "sound" when it comes to guitars and basses.

Sure, I could hear this in a cinematic setting, to show a passage of time while someone does something like builds or creates something or tries to solve a mystery or crime. Nicely put together, the less is more approach is something I live by and works here.

Keep up the good work, always fun to hear your creations!

i recorded it directly into Live, but used 2 waves plugins: Znoise and MaxxBass on the fx chains as well as a free compressor plug called Thrillseeker which i find excellent...the upper octaves of course have a bunch of reverb and delays added as well, all native Live fx...thanks for the listen wayne and your fine words, much appreciated as always!....

Very compelling. Exotic and deep. I can feel the bass kick in my earphone pads, and the vocal at the end lifted the crown of my head. Astonishing sound.

Very nice,the guitar is so smooth and the notes played are important,I've always said it's not the amount of guitar but the delicate use of fine notes that may only be a few but are the addition that makes all the difference to the song...and me.

Fantastic!
Allen.

Ohh now this is fabulous! Talk about bass! Addictive rhythm!

The touch of vocals is just amazing and the groove inflicted by those drums is emphasized by the bass and the subtle nuances of ethnic spice going on!

This is going in my favs! This should really get some TV/Add plays!

I heard a rumour going round that you'd made a great piece of tunage. It was true!
For some reason this piece has got me thinking vampires in the dessert like in that film "near dark"
Again i'm thinking to myself "spend more time on ableton" i see it's paying off dividends for your music.
Easily the best cinematic piece i've heard for quite some time.
Now you can kick back and reward yourself with a cold one!

This is hauntingly brilliant my friend! I could imagine it as background music for something like CSI.

Superbly put together! I really do like this piece my friend!

A song is only as good as its foundation, and this song has a great foundation!!! Bass line is absolutely stellar. Great vox and instrumentation, subtle and sublime, all following that wonderful bass line.

Well done.

Very cool track, you've raised the bar a bit with this one. Love those keys.

Did you do this on that wikiloops site? I checked it out the other day, need to go back and look around a little more, seems cool.

Take care man and this is very much da bomb!

OH HELL YES!
has a madlib vibe, with a little bit of king caesar thrown in
on the bassline. had to listen to it 5 or 6 times, stoppin the head dip too soon can have bad side effects. quality man.

Well first of all i'm diggin the new avatar. I've been getting into the dub sound just off late so i'm feeling this. Excellent placement of sounds, The atmosphere has that kind of 8 track feel to it & in some ways i wish i hadn't played it, because i now know i've got a long journey ahead to get good at this genre.
Great work.

simmerdown replied 29th Mar 2012 - 13 years ago

Great track! credit where it's due...what I like most apart from the cool mix and the overall excellent live ambience,is those spacey scratches or wobbles,takes it to another level..if those were items I could pinch (I would!)...and yes,it did improve my day.

thanks planet!..those are some classic dubsirens, which now have been made into vsts...one is called just DubSiren (from interrruptor.ch) and the other is Rasta Box..which i think was KVRaudio, but google and you'll have em in 5 mins. dont hurt yourself! lol, cheers for the review...smmr
