handshake, Danke
It's definitely a melancholy track.But I didn't want it to be a depressing dirge. More of a pensive, romanticised reflection on mortality. Wait... I just realised how douchey that sounds.
Thanks for listening

You, of course, have a style which is all your own. At the same time, I can't help but dream up parallels with Matt Johnson/The The, even if such parallels are only in my head. It feels right to me, and is meant as a very high compliment. I might not be alive if it weren't for The The.
To create something like this in such a short moment in time is very impressive. It does not feel hurried to me in the performance either, so you should be proud.
Potent, thoughtful and engaging... loved it all the way through! Fave!

I discover you last track and i found it extremely profesionnal (far away from what i can do myself lol). The instrumental part is awesome and your voice... your voice... so perfect! you're very talented
With all my respect!
Bleep
I'm always nervous about singing, yet I always end up doing just that. It's a good way to challenge myself. I'm glad that you liked the vocals here, I spent a lot of time mixing them. I didn't want to shoehorn them in and ruin the atmosphere.
Thanks again.

This is superb: everything at the right place.
Your voice, "telling a story". Sits perfectly in the mix and "dictates" the mood of the music. Again... let me repeat myself: superb.
I think this track is more than cinematic: it's just a great track.
Who cares if it's 3/4 ... I would like to hear something like this on the radio.
You sir, have a lot of talent.
And you seem to make good use of it.
Take care, Domenico
Thank you for your kind words and possitivity. I really like making songs in 3/4, especially ballads. It gives songs a slow waltz feel.

Definitely has a great audio impression throughout, and is recorded and composed well. This reminds me a bit of something Kate Bush could have done, if she had a man's voice (heh). It's meant as a compliment, as she is one of my favorites of her era.
Very creative and cunning! I dig it!
It's funny that you mention a music video, I often do lighting in music videos for friends and the odd commission. Never really thought about making a video for my own music. Might be worth having a think about.
Thanks for your thoughts.

For my part I see a touch of gorillaz / radiohead in your voice (around the resonance) but you have your own signature: a grain and a tone voice which are really nice! At any rate it's a beautiful ballad which you propose us here!
One more time, i was expected for a longer track. The duration is too short, i'm quite sure you can make an extended version.
really good work

You've been given a massive head start by being able to compose by ear. And you will be able to make vastly more complex compositions if you understand the theory as well.
Good luck in your future studies. I look forward to hearing what you create.

"Your input, however hurried, is highly valued"
Cool but don't forget to answer your older track comments. You have loads that remain unanswered.
Great title.
Anyway: intro has changed and is unspectacular but effective. Still not sure about kick drum choice. Too much treble, not quite the right tone with that piano.
0:52 subtle guitar is quite cool. Before then it's all about your vocal.
1:12 start of a pleasant little refrain section. Sounds a bit like mandolin but I guess it's guitar.
2:34 and now drums take off properly.
2:59 vocal sounds quite different. Different reverb? Lots of good panning on it.
Overall: good, effective slightly melancholy music that sounds very acoustic.
All responses have been answered. I try to keep up with things as best I can, my phone doesn't always show things in order.
Glad you like the title. I "appropriated" it from a 60's underground art film I saw at uni. I can't remember anything about the film itself, but its title really stuck with me.
Thanks for your review. I'm still working on the drum sound. Was sort of going for David Bowie's Cat People for the intro. Will keep messing around with it.
Thanks
