Wow such an exciting track! Loved every note. There were (for me, in terms of vibes from various tracks), hints of Beth Gibbons from Portishead and the music had some Skunk Anansie feeling to it. The tension and the rhythymn sucks you in and takes you down so many avenues simultaneously. That rock guitar and the timpani interweave as the emotions play out. As they say in Wayne's World - Excellent! Kayos of VN

Thanks a lot for the nice feedback, glad it reminds you a bit of those artists, hadn't specifically thought about Skunk Anansie up to now, but that's good as I like them :)

I really do like this... It gives me a vibe of The X-Files, Twin Peaks.
Love guitar and the lyrics. Vocals were on point. Well done.

Hello Alan - Great guitar work here - got splashes of echo and the bunnymen and flock of seagull feel wehn I listened. Love that you have written lyrics. My only suggestion would be to deepen and beef up your vocal to get that angst across. Good work. KayOS at VintageNights

Hi Kay, thanks for listening and for the technical suggestion, also interesting to read about these references, never listened to those bands, I'll take a look :) Alan

Alan, what's happnin'?

I dig this. It's kind of dark and groovy. It's got a good vibe to it.

I like to mix synths with traditional instruments in my work as well, so, I really liked the way you incorporated them in yours.

I think, however, the drums could have been a bit louder in the mix. They're kind of buried in the background, and hard to hear in some spots. Other than that, it sounds good.

Good work. Keep it up.
Take care.
V.

Indeed the guitars intro pulls into the song well, thought it was a few stoo long tho. Bass worked great and lyrics told a relatable tale.

Here's Alan to give us a masterclass on how to set an atmosphere in a song. Your mix sounds like it could be part of a movie soundtrack. Very cinematic!

The opening guitar riff pulls us gently into the song with waves of reverb and there is a electro buzz like a cross between a didge and a mouth harp setting up some cross rhythm. And then a very sweet vocal, and such complementary melodic and warm arps, builds with some seriously fine hooks. Electro pop bliss happening here. Very nice structure too - a real hit.

Great track Alan, Really love that vocal, and the track fits it beautifully. Did you build the track around an accapella ? sounds really nice, great mix and a really lovely EQ balance. Great job !
AlanMcLarenProject
AlanMcLarenProject replied 8th Jul 2024 - 1 year ago
Thank you! Yes I have written the music around the acapella vocal I found here, a very nice one from Ashes And Dreams, wanted to create some ambient/progressive vibe - with the rock touch at the end :)

nice work Alan, lovely keys at the intro but they do get a little lost in the busier parts, maybe you could route the piano to another mixing slot also and just add some stereo enhancement to bring it out more, thats what a tend to do when im struggling for a section to cut through. vocal is a great fit and the guitar sims are great too nice track

AlanMcLarenProject replied 4th Jul 2024 - 1 year ago
Thank you mate, I appreciate the feedback and the advise, piano has definitely been the trickiest to mix, will keep that in mind for future improvements :)

Hi Alan, I am not good in analyzing details but the whole song is a flow of Art. Silver Bella do come out quite different behind all the spheres and the message flows directly into my soul. May give her voice 2-3 dB more gain after 58sec or less for the guitar :-) Cheers, Oli

Another moody and immersive track. There's a sense of anticipation all the way that's only resolved at the end when you drop the distorted guitar. Kinda almost a bit p J Harvey. Nice guitar tones, you use a sim or real amp?
AlanMcLarenProject
AlanMcLarenProject replied 2nd Jul 2024 - 1 year ago
Thank you for stopping by again! I am glad to read you caught the sense of the progression with gradual buildup to the distorted guitars.
Guitars are sims, for the clean/reverbered guitar I used Solaris GTR, for the distorted one Ample Guitar LP from Ample Sound

The Guitar is far out, probably my favorite part of your track. The piano seems rather quiet to me. I almost can't hear it at all at some points (I'm using headphones). I think it'll sound better if you bring it out just a tad more.

and that Guitar at the end was pretty dope.

AlanMcLarenProject replied 29th Jun 2024 - 1 year ago
Thanks a lot for the feedback, yes it's being a bit of a headache to mix the piano in the busier parts!

Love that Intro, Smoothly Psychedelic. Well done tune I enjoyed my listen. Tracktion, I remember playing around with that DAW in Linux a few years back, Good work.

Thank you for the nice feedback! Yes Tracktion works quite well for me, relatively "light" on my old computer resources compared to other ones I tried

Ooh, wasn't expecting that vocal, instantly got Tool vibes, nice, real nice.
This is happy Tool, I like it.
Oh the guitar comes in.
If you'd like a less midi-sounding guitar sound let me know, I'd record it for you.

That was a very well put together track. Great freakin' job!

AlanMcLarenProject replied 20th Jun 2024 - 1 year ago
Thanks a lot, glad you liked it....and also that you've mentioned Tool, one of my favourite bands! I'll be ok for now with the guitar but thanks a lot for the offer :)

So successful musical escalation in these eight minutes, once more with the "sovereign" involvement of the electric guitar ! Great job Alan.

Well it's an excellent work. I liked the "power" of the guitar parts and it was a pleasure listening this 6 min. piece of music. I intend to watch the video as well. So, see you there.

that is a great composition the instruments sonic space is on par for me. Keep it up. From watching the video you have I would not add anything to the track. But from listening without the video I feel some parts have plenty of space for some lead guitar. Also maybe a guitar slide or 2 as build ups. But that's just me and I spoil a lot of my work. So carry on producing this music it great

AlanMcLarenProject replied 14th Jun 2024 - 1 year ago
Thank you for the nice comment and for taking the time to watch the video as well, really appreciate it! I think I know the bits where you would add the guitar slides and they would probably work well. All that part before the guitar melody starts was purposedly left with synth only to have the crescendo part first, then the pause of emptiness before the track "wakes up" again, if it makes sense :)
