hi. It's only to say that this is some very cool piece. Quite unlike from your others. Very chilled but evolving and spatial with fine guitar riffs in the middle. Makes me think of Tycho at parts. Nice one! A.
Hello. I was certain you'd like this one as it's big on the chill but also rocking at times, with lots of grooves I like.
It is quite different for me but mostly uses sounds I've used before. The amazing string sound I've used in at least four tracks, all of which you've heard. See my reply to TheRiot504 to see which ones.
I think the drum loops here are quite different for me so they give this a different character. I use new sounds in every track I make but it's cool to reuse excellent sounds. Even better to use them in new ways though no problem using them in the same way if that's what works. I'm sure we all do that. If you find a good sound/technique, why only use it one track? I've used pretty much the same guitar sounds in so, so many tracks!
This track also had dark jazz and metal in it that I came up with while trying to find some changes. But I've removed those parts and am turning them into their own strange dark jazz metal track. Just as well I removed them otherwise the track would be 20 minutes long.
I'm trying hard not to make tracks any longer than about 11 minutes these days. Partly so I can fit them on Looperman (at only 128K, unfortunately) but also because longer and I don't think people want to listen. I think it's maybe better to find a way to turn a long one into two or three separate tracks, each with their own distinctive character.
I'm sure I've heard some Tycho but maybe didn't like it/him. Maybe I will try again. If there's any particular track that you think sounds like this one, let me know and I will listen to it.
So, dark jazz-metal will maybe be my next upload. That is going to be strange and interesting fun to make.
ok, ... but I do not read the newspapers anymore and your crappy mic from the track description was really fine here. really an (close to) acoustic effect! cool.
note that SJ or PJB did't say anything positive here.
I listened to your track many times anyway.
hi Ookami, I like when it really gets funky from about 1:46. Very good chilled and relaxing vibes. I like that.
I think you can get much better results simply applying eq effect to synths in here to find their proper place in the mix. I say that because some parts seem like they do not fit in harmonics to the rest but that also depends on the type of synths you're using.
It can be a nice way to go around a 'cheap electronic' kind of sound.
Overall it works nicely as a chillout. I really enjoyed listening to this lovely track.
Best, Alex
Thank you for your comment man. I'll be sure to add and adjust some Eq's for future purposes. I usually don't meddle with anything that's on a preset. But I'll need to get out of my comfort zone soon enough. Thanks again!
Hi Joe. This one is very cool. Tribal and tropical. Chilled! Keeping the steady groove throughout the entire composition is really something I like.
The sound-image of your track reminded me of SeriousSam PC game soundtrack. Don't ask me what version - I played it over 10 years ago. Truly I was never into an alien-vampire kind of thing ever but this one opens up a space to many possible interpretations for sure!
If you found my comment far too ambivalent do not worry - I really enjoyed this chilled music! Best, Alex
Music is ambivalent itself and needs ambivalent comments.
I think so, maybe i am wrong.
But i love pictures and feelings and emotions to talk and or write over music. That gives me so much more then a "technical ok" or else.
Nice to hear that you like it and that you had "things" in mind while listen :)
hi. Very solid rock style arrangement and chilled for sure. I was listening to your track earlier today but now I realize it is actually a phased el. piano here not a synth from 0:13 haha.
Nice work with the acapella and really solid production - I just finished a track with very similar instrumentation and for sure can appreciate your work in here. Keep at it!
Best to you, Alex
Thanks for the kind words Alex.
I like "tweaking" the e-piano sound ... I consider it a bit like a guitar (and the fender rhodes was not far from it actually).
Take care, Domenico
Hi Scott.
Lovely little piece, very classic and stylish arrangement, some instruments (horns) sound a bit too 'midi' though. Interesting combination with the vocals.
Overall this is really very good stuff to learn from when comes to create a proper instrumentation or simply to play along.
Nice one. I will check it out again if you add the guitars.
Best to you, Alex
Thanks for your ear and comments. I recently got some EastWest Quantam Leap software with some brass VST, so hopefully my brass wont sound as 'midi' as with this track. I also got Kontakt with some nice VSTs, also, so will be checking it out in the future.
yeah put some pre delay on the reverb also long decay that gave it that ethereal sound you were speaking of thank you for taking the time out to give it a spin
Agreed with comment below, such tasteful orchestration on strictly clean sounding yet very uptempo happy ultrafunk. Thanks for sharing this with us Gordon. Alex
hi. that bottlerina/ocarina flute sound from the intro stands out a bit from the following guitar solo (from 0:28). It's probably because of different ambiance/reverb and very different stylistic character.
Tempo change comes very unexpected (0:57). You might try to find some rational formula or use proportion in the tempo changes. For me the second section starts from 1:10. You might even automate the tempo from 98 to 120 on '0:57 - 1:10 interlude'(I think it's possible in StudioOne, I never tried it though, probably it will sound weird) or try to find some even smoother transition to the second section. Reversed cymbal sound definitely helps here.
I think the piece is a bit too short to make a tempo change - it is like a bunch of 2 ideas with some interlude and I will not change anything here too much. It is sounding good, I liked a kind of a happy vibe of the second part - reminded me of some music from danish band Analogik https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EbbgZvSfQy0&index=5&list=PLCA74A53508495981.
Many interesting ideas here, maybe to many but that's a good thing and I enjoyed listening.
"try to find some rational formula or use proportion in the tempo changes"
I don't find the tempo change odd. I see "unexpected", but that is part of what I was going for. Never tried to automate the tempo track. Sounds like something I need to look into.
"I think the piece is a bit too short to make a tempo change"
I may add to this one, or expand parts that I already have.
Thanks for the feedback,... and the automated tempo thought.
hi FR. Very nice. All made around one piano loop - that's impressive for a 8 min track. That female vocal phrase from about 2:05 was too short for me. The composition is kind of minimal for sure but you might try incorporate longer soul/rnb pellas instead of single shouts sometime. Just a thought.
Anyway that was really enjoyable listening. Thanks.
Best, Alex
Hey Alex, Sorry for the late reply. I've not logged on for over a week. I used to use full pellas from this site a lot but i just haven't found one that i like for aaaagggges. I suppose i could always try and change my style to suit the vocals instead of looking for one that fits what i'm doing but i'm just a bit lazy if i'm honest.
Still, glad you could drop by and leave your thoughts.
FR
really nice work on this one, the vocals are almost unrecognizable though. You might really benefit from taking off the effects.
I was listening to your other songs in here and thought they all are very loud mixed with a lack of clarity. Still that's only my personal preference.
Anyway I really enjoyed your track. Niiiice effort.
Best, Alex
i don't feel that link sounds like my tune !
i underestand that i need my father who is a studio man or someone else like him about mix .
this will be great if you too can help me about that .
anyway thank you for dropping these words and that link.
hi. firstly excellent vocals here. there's a some radio station called ChilliZet playing exactly that kind of music here in poland 24/7. overall a great combination of loops - I do not think I will reach that very stage of radio oriented chillout, some of my tracks are really chilled though. Niiice work. Alex
Hi Alex,
thank you for listening and liking, I will try and have a listen to Chillizet too. I am sure your tracks are good, I am going to have a listen now. Thanks again for taking time to listen and for your great comments.
Best wishes,
Mark
hey. that would be probably one the best of your productions I heard so far, if not the best one. These tracks made last time seem to share similar sound-image, very chilled and just relaxing qualities. keep at it! thanks for allowing downloads. Alex
hi Dan. I really liked that futuristic sounding chord progression at the beginning. the tone of this instrument is also interesting. nice fretless bass sound at the end. I downloaded it - I think it is some quite interesting idea which might be developed into somenthing, we will see.
Best to you, Alex
hey alex. yea - it's a nice bass sound. wanted something very dark to stay in a chilled, ambient feel. it is called finger dark. it's on the old Yamaha DGX-200. thanks for stopping by. we'll see where and how this one goes. appreciate it. Dan
