hi, this is very cool. vocals are sweet but I really do not like this autotune effect added to the most of her accapellas. anyway I really enjoyed your work. congrats, Alex
Interesting work here! Very creative. I can't say I've heard anything like this before. I can't really say anything needs to be changed or altered. The vocals from the different songs sounds clean together. This isn't really pop though, but I can't think of any other genre this might be. Nice job!
it seems you have a nice control over this style. your synth choices and the mixing choices are really working well. the mixing of the voice especially is adding a lot. like how you drop the percs out completely at 2:30 and let it be solo synth for a few secs. nice work! all the best. Dan
Like Ed, I don't listen to a lot of EDM, because much of it sounds the same. You, however, have found the secret to keeping my attention...you vary melodies, throw in dissonance, use dynamics intelligently....I guess what I'm saying is your compostional skills are really good and you translate your ideas into great music. Really well done (and I liked the quirky percussion outro - I never saw that coming). Well done, really well done. I hope all is well.
that pella is working really well the way you have it in here clindsay...this is a mover and then some...the higher synth pads make it uplifting kind of bouncy stuff & them stabs are great..the outro drums caught me a bit off guard...if you keep doing this I`m going to have to start listening to a lot more of the genre than I sometimes do...great job....Ed
Ed - thanks so much - you could be a professional reviewer. I tried several outros and this was kind of the default considering that this is supposed to be a dance track and lead into the next track. Thanks for the detailed response! -clindsay
This is sounding great. You've mixed that vocal in really well and i'm digging the synth work. It screams out at you which is what you need in a dance track. You've blended the loops together really well. Ace vibes. FR
i recognize that intro loop from somewhere haha and you used it pretty well i liked it, very well done and where did you get those vocals man? they sound amazing :D
Thanks - the vocals were cut from a pella done by Oceanically called "Dreaming" which is much longer. I really liked the way they fit although I wish I could have used more. Thanks for your kind comments. -clindsay
Ok where do I start. First and foremost good job, the eclectic nature of this tune makes me smile as I love to do the same thing. The intro was eerie, spooky and full of good things even if her voice is just slightly out of tune it adds to the dissonance of it. Your chord structures were gorgeous, again with a diminished chord stuck in the riff just made it for me. The use of a few styles throughout the mix was nice as well. My only complaint (small one) is I would like to hear a more complex percussion added to this one. Otherwise brilliant song Cru
Thanks Cru - I appreciate the listen and the kind comments. I take your point on the percussion but I tried to keep it dancey - I'll try some variances and see if I can add better percussion. -clindsay
No messing around, straight in with the pumping bass and drums. I like the sampling and the grungy synth effects. It's kind of like dubstep meets techno. There's a lot of good ideas going on and i like the way the pace of the tune changes and goes into a more dub type sound. Really good work, I enjoyed it from start to finish. FR
Few genres can be heard here, but transitions are so well done that I almost can't notice all them! Very upbeat and energetic track, I really like this! :)
Yes...lots of energy clindsay...and lots of power in the drums...that section at 1:09 kicks butt...very effective change up from the power in the intro...it takes more than a little musical imagination to put one like this together even if you used all loops...and the production sounds good....a big well done....keep on......Ed
This track was created strictly by loops, yes? Most of the loops well together in perfect sync, however, some of them create a delay with each other. The track ends up correcting itself though. I'm thinking there is some loops at certain bpm, and then other loops maybe be a a second (Or even several miliseconds) off from the initial loop. Nevertheless, the creativity is very powerful and I enjoyed this.
Nice intro. It has a prog house kind of feel to it. That vocal is ace as well as is the melody. It reminds me a little of Orbital. The sampling is really cool and for some reason i'm wishing i was stoned listening to this. Perhaps it's because it's a really nice floaty track. I'm digging that percussion/piano combo going on in the final part. Cool as mate. FR
inside eyes lie realms for walk of peace and that is where journeys my mind along this wonderful groove safari....great sound art indeed ...much peace to ya...chill!!!!
Love the ethnic theme of this. That sitar intro is great, as is the vocal work. It's like ravi shankar on acid, the way it changes to electronic is great and so are the atmospheres and drums. Loving the breakdown with the wind instruments and the tabla drums. Nice change at 2.34, very uplifting and nice transition, You managed to change the vibe without straying to far off the original riff. Really enjoyed listening to this track. FR
Thanks FR for your analysis and kind words. I like the Ravi Shankar on acid comment. I cram a lot of ideas into this one which kind of holds together but very tenuously. Again, thanks for listening and commenting. -clindsay
Yes! wicked sound. Thanks for sharing, I've downloaded and gonna play this forever. Can't quite get my head around 0:30 to 0:45, but who cares, this is brilliant!
Thanks for your kind comments and downloading - I'm in the process of re-integrating 30 to 45 - I agree it is not coherent as currently mixed but hopefully will make more sense in the next cut - maybe not but I'm trying to improve the mix. Again, thanks for listening. -clindsay
