I am digging the dark nature of the drum/bass combo here, very thought provoking! I'm fond of the arpeggios you've used too! Sometimes it takes some savvy programming to make sure your arpeggios are in key, I know how that goes... and it all depends on how you're doing the arps as to how you adjust them. You've secceeded in making a very laid back vibe in a dubstep setting, and that's always a good thing! Very cool stuff! Fave!
I still regret making this track though hahaha it is bad in a way. But thanks anyway for the comment ;)
I saw this a bit later so sorry for the late reply
Ah man, you are only 17 and you have such mad skills. This really is impressive work, and shows a great deal of knowledge on your part, specifically on the compositional side of things. You have a bright future ahead of you. Just keep doing what you are doing - brilliant work. I hope all is well.
I like the contrast of piano to stuttering sound at 1:45, that’s a real nice play on sounds. Good tune overall. Very Midi instrument oriented. You have used Midi to it's extreme indeed.
Steve
Just for the record, I didn't use Midi to record this, I would have gone mad then with the amount of editing I constantly would have to do with this slow pc not keeping up hahaha
Your description has truth within it. A contrast between two sides with equal balance in a gran sense. I do like the keys here, is what pulled me in. When the keys and strings played together sounded vivid sense it allows to pass. Cool melodic arpage. Gives the story more of that contrasting element to glue multiple images together. I think you just created a video out of sound. Good job, thanks for sharing and keep creating those moments in time. Peace,Dave
Hey dave,
Thanks for the comment, I am glad that you could find the contrast in this like I did. It feels like a huge compliment to hear I created a video out of sound, might just be too much but thanks a lot ;)
I will try to keep things like this up but mostly they come to me whenever I feel like it so I can't promise to release a lot of these haha
....Johnny are U sure U're 17years old ?!!
U're making me disapointed about myself ...this considered pianO & thoughtfull arrangemenT seems to be written by someone even more throughbred than me & it shows your high inteligence quotient...just my friend I think U may better to categorize this as cinematic or classical ...it's imagery but maybe cinematic more than ambienT(no electronic elemenT U have in it ) to me ...althought this is my idea ...anyway beyond the genre , U're a rare tallenT Jean...
(ps:oOoOps sorry i went to mission and forgot to listen those 2 sent piece of yours !now I'll do & write my idea in email...wacky me..!)take care.___B
Haha don't worry about it behnam, you shouldn't be disappointed of yourself. Everyone produces differently and we need that diversity to keep music interesting, you add in to that diversity because you compose differently then others which makes your music interesting to listen too ;) Same for many people out here which is why I like to post stuff here and listen to these tracks. Without this music would eventually stop to impress and stop being interesting...
I don't think this should be classical due to the synths added, cinematic maybe, though I don't picture this behind a movie. But I might change it if I keep receiving comments about that haha
This was one of the tracks included in the mail haha, I will see your email coming I guess. Hope you are doing fine further my friend ;)
Hey steve, I suppose you are talking about "the foreshadowing" as a band? It reminded me a bit of "dark tranquility" but then without the harsh vocals and only with clear ones.
if not then explain me what you meant else haha
Thanks for the kind words further,
great appreciation for the kind feedback I am getting ;)
Ohh Johnny this is a beautiful peace.Five seconds in and i knew this was something special.That piano work is so dope man.Good piece homie,keep them coming.
A big thank you benjizo ;)
I am glad to see you enjoyed it, I don't know when I will release something like this again but it will surely happen some day
Thanks for the kind words and take care
This is really cool, and a bit disorienting, which I like in music! I could see this being very useful in a mashup sort of setting cross mixed with some tempo matched track which contains some of the frequencies that are milder in this song. Would be fun for late night lstening or the dancefloor I would think! I like the sounds you've used very much, they have kind of a creamy drive to them! Definitely very interesting and inspiring to hear! Fave!
This was meant to be disorienting and weird haha, Glad you enjoyed that
I have some more tracks laying around like this one, I can message you one that is a bit weird if you want.
In this track I was just experimenting a bit with these sounds and see what I could get out of it, of course there is a lot more to get out of it but I haven't got to that yet.
Thanks a lot spivkurl for the comment, I will just message you with the song I guess, you would be the first from here to listen to it then haha
I'm really appreciating your composition on this piece! I do like piano, especially now that I own one, so listening to how others use piano sounds is inspiring to me. The build that starts half way through is quite impressive and emotional. I can definitely see why you put this under ambient, as it seems like the sounds are digital... to me that should be one of the differences between ambient and orchestral. I enjoyed listening my friend!
Hey spivkurl, thanks for leaving a comment. So I will see some piano coming up from you soon I guess? That's cool to hear.
Yeah I don't own a piano (do own a keyboard) and I don't really have a plugin that allows me to simulate a realistic piano as of yet, plan on getting my hands on one of those soon.
Thanks for the review and glad you enjoyed it ;)
Amazing - loved the transitions - piano at 1:48 is perfect - strings at 2:20 as a lovely contretemps to a great transition at 2:55. This is truly masterful - beautiful yet clean and understated. Great work!
-clindsay
Hey clindsay,
Thanks for the enthusiasm I see ;D
And the kind words, It is great to see such appreciation and to see that others indeed enjoy it.
It is one of those things that keeps me going
Ahh yeah it could indeed be more orchestral then ambient, I usually put my piano stuff under ambient though but this features a lot of strings too so I guess it could fit in both
Further thank you for the kind comment, I am glad you enjoyed this and found this interesting
Couldn't resist stopping by as you last track was so good. This is prettty f***3d up stuff. Your tunes are really intricate which aint a bad thing.
I'd say it's leaning more towards dubstep than electronic, but whatever you want to call it it sounds like you've taken your time with it. Personally i can't be arsed making a tune that detailed, but thats probably why i think your stuff is better than mine.
Needs a bit of length added to it as it's not often i'm stll typing when the tracks finished.
Hey ho! Good work all the same.
FR
Haha sorry to disappoint you, this track is another caliber then last one. Though if it makes you happy I got some stuff coming up that is more like last tune, so you will see it appear in a while.
Mm yeah it has some dubstep in it to the end part, but it is more of a mixture of things.
I think I will try to create something dubstep like with violin sounds in it soon since I liked how this drop turned out for a bit. But then I will add in longer sequences of violin playing through so it will become more melodic.
if you want I can upload a piano tune that I have done
so tell me haha
Hey my friend, great track. As you are possibly aware Looperman & Loop Radio are trying to arrange a day of Looperman celebrations on the 31st May. I am hoping to do a 2 hour show featuring Dance music from Looperman artists & would also like to feature Looperman tracks in my regular show. As this is available for download (thanx for sharing)I hope you will be OK with me airing it on the day or on another show?
Thanx.
Peace, Love, Justice & Respect.
Vis . . . . .
I can't recall that I heard about it before, but I might have. Could you update me a bit on what it means and what this day consists of?
it sounds interesting , and sure you can air it ;)
Nice job on the synths on this one man..Esp one that plays in the first 50s or so. It has the dance kinda feel too..though towards the end for me as a rapper feels it changes a lil too much..but then it's art so it still works. great beat all in all. good job again.
Hey thanks for leaving a comment YungWIllCPR,
I am glad that you liked the synth but I agree with you that this track isn't really ideal for rapping since it indeed changes too much for that. Just wanted to create something that wasn't the standard tune.
Wow - As far as heavy dub step goes -this really nails that sound. I really loved the build up to the drop, an I wouldnt usually like those trancey kind of sounds. but then, jeez it kicks off. Savage sound.
Didn't notice the comment from you, silly me ;p
Nah love has faded sadly but maybe it will count in the future again depending on who I meet of course ^^
If you want I can put this open for a remix for you, I can send you the song then. Just leave me another comment or message if you want that ;)
I'm one of the few people on this planet that loves techno so i had to home in on this one.
I have to say it sounds more like trance to me but hey ho, i like that as well.
The melody is good, every sound has it's own place in the mix and it's all been levelled out beautifully.
Like it when the main riff kicks in. It's got good drops and transitions and i could probably bollock on all day about how great it is but i'm bored with typing now, so i'm just gonna download it.
FR
Hahaha well a friend of mine once said this came close to paragonx9 with the sounds and all the stuff, which was very nice to hear but I thought this was rather techno since trance features more of the repetitive beats and slow builds.
Nevertheless thanks for your comment ;)
it was one of my earliest works so I really am glad that you enjoy it
Nice piano intro with the swirly synths. Nice swooshing noises and synths to boot.
It's a nice melody and everything jels together niceley. It's a bit too happy for my taste but it's well mixed and has some cool sounds going on.
Nice one.
FR
Now this. THIS. Everything a dubstep track should have, this is fantastic! That bass noise is what I aspire to create someday, but alas, I use GarageBand at the moment XD. Again, fantastic track, wouldn't be surprised if I saw this on UKF or VitalFM.
Thought i'd drop by to see what all the fuss was about. 50 downloads usually means something pretty special and i'm liking what i'm hearing so far.
Nice trancey intro that progresses into easily the fattest bassline i've heard today.
I've never tried making this stuff but it sounds like it must take bloody ages to get everything right and you've got some seriously good ideas.
I think i'm going to have to make it 51 downloads now.
F**KING EXCELLENT TRACK!!!

Hey FreeRadical,
