thanks for the reply. I already managed to make a trrack (trackqq) out of ferryterry's guitars to your 'lovely bones' (them?): https://www.looperman.com/tracks/detail/167571
I am still awaiting the vocals you promised.
this is some really enjoyable tune, not really a proper 'song' that much for me but just a nice combination of different short instrumental solo sections and that is perfectly fine!
I find the bass line and the keys really inspiring. to me funk styles will always sound modern - they are a true source for a great amount of contemporary music.
I will check out the bands you mentioned, thanks for some nice inspiration.
hi again and thanks a lot for the reply! really good to hear the updates. I love what you did!
also I checked the vocaloid and this is some cool software. I was using a lot of Ivona 'text to speech' synth but never ever expected that vocaloid singing thing sounded that good. you have used it very well, I really like the little counter-melody work at places.
there are still some elements in the background (for instance: synth at 1:05) that in my opinion will require a little bit of work, maybe simply by adding straight chord progressions. to me all tracks of your song are actually playing very similar rhythm pattern... so it is a 'minimal approach' in a way and that's fine - I like your vision.
as for a 'proper song' thought: I need to hear much more powerful instrumental section that might balance somehow the long repetitive vocal passages here. your tune sounds to me like it is not that enough 'structured' so far but of course it is just the way of how I picture the eventual further development of it... will you be reworking this again by chance? if so I can always try to help you by adding something to this project...
Hey good to hear from you again!
First of all of course thanks that u like it!
I never really heard of ivona text to speach, but Maybe I will check it out later, sounds a bit interesting, since I love that kinda stuff to work with.
this track was the first timime I actually used Vocaloid and a Vocoder Over the vocaloid, its a pretty awesome tool I noticed.
I'm not sure what sound you mean at 1:05, I am guessing you mean 1:12 maybe?
Anyhoo my Tracks are usually inspired by daft punk, and usually make repetitive tracks, this was not meant as a 'proper song' actually, but I can understand why you say that because of the small instrumental breaks I put it, I purely did that to fill up the song a bit with only instruments and no vocals.
I wasn't planning on changing this song again, but if you want you can try to add stuff, I am kinda curious what kinda stuff you would do with it.
the song is free to download as you know, the BPM is 160 and I use the measure 3/4 :D hope to hear from you again!
hi. I really like your vision but somehow I find the vocals not present and articulated enough. maybe it's only because I am listening on headphones now... I can't understand the words, can you post the lyrics sometime? I noticed many people on here do not even bother to do that. I think you might even consider introducing other layers on the second section of the track, it can help breaking the 'repetitivity'. repetitive music is powerful as well but I say that because your production sounds more like a proper 'song' to me.
You have a good ear.
To be honest, I listened back to the song and was deeply dissapointed with the vocals, it doesnt sound how I want them to sound, I am well aware of that and fixing what I can in a frew minutes after writing this.
Usually I write lyrics on this site on my tracks, but had the feeling that most people didnt even notice I did, so I just skipped it this time, but I can write them no problem (though they usually dont make any sence, that is how I work :p)
Also the reason you cant make out the words is, because I usually use VOCALOID to do the singing, which is a japanese instrument that produces japanese words, though this version usual english words, regardless the words are barely recognisable
I hope to be able to fix the vocals to be more present indeed, thanks for the input.
hi. I was aware of your looperman music before but for some reason never really had a chance to play it. happy I finally managed to do that because it is really some great vocal take here! congrats to you both, simply keep up the production!
all the best, alex
hello. I just had a chance to listen to some of your works on here and really enjoyed the orchestral pieces.
this one has very fine relaxing kind of vibe too. simply keep producing.
hi. agreed with the comment below. it's far too sketchy. I think your vocal is powerful. you might consider only working a little bit more on technical side of the voice recording. so keep recording!
Thanx . Your comment is much appreciated :) please free to help me in any way if you think so coz im not a proffessional singer yet . i will rectify myself according to you guys honest useful comments thats y im here so that i can improve myself . Thanx a bunch . Just wanna rock the world with my voice one day :(
hi mr Doctor. this is a kind of a happy tune. when the hihats come in at 1:32 it sounds almost like a techno track, at least to me. it is a bit too straightforward for a very proper house but still a good try. keep up the production!
I am really enjoying the quality of the recording and the arrangement on this one. Everything sounds wonderfully clean and transparent, little piano additions were cool.
fine chillout (christian chillout?).
Congratulations and simply keep up the production!
Glad you liked it. I was doing my best to get the song crispy and balanced without making the sibilances painful or noticeable and it seems to have paid off. I tried doing a mixing technique of PULLING DOWN unimportant track volumes instead of PUSHING UP the ones I wanted to be heard. I think Spivkurl was the one who mentioned this and he is definitely correct - it makes for a much more malleable end-product that can be mastered/compressed with great ease. All I did was boost the high end with a slight curve (max of about 3.4 dB) and since the bass was too overwhelming on the first version of this song, I pulled down the bass track a bit and then cut away about 1.2 dB of low end. Overall, I'm pretty happy with this one.
I never heard of Ultravox before but this one definitely contains some elements of older soft electronic mixed also with other, typical for relaxation background music.
There was an online radio station playing only soft ambient older electronic like this I was listening a lot at a time, your tune will fit perfectly there. To me it is still more an ambient territory. Old styled, but the syntesizers you're using do sound rather modern and complex. Is this just a multi-layered kind of pad playing the main melody line? ok... as always I am interested more in technology of the process of making a track than politics.
Well....to hell with politics then:)So....in terms of making things this one is a bit of a mixed bag, There is some multi-layering but only in certain sections, yet I have to apologize that I really don't have a knack (and time)for explaining all the technical details unless when the whole thing really sums up for something very " extra-special" to me, or maybe when the actual work is extra-special to someone I'm discussing with!
Otherwise, I have to say big thank you for taking a time to listen and posting this comment!:)
hi. so I can only say that finding someone to sing over your track is a very rare event on here. I posted many tracks so far but there was only one vocalist who spontaneously created vocal part to my track (which was cool).
but anyway good luck!
to me there's too much of strange frequencies coming from the background synth throughout your track. but piano and other synths are ok.
this is simply a cool track. Reading the comments below was so enjoyable experience, I never expected to hear such funky sounds from you listening so much to your actual trance works. I am happy to discover some connections to ferryterry's works - he is my favourite performer on here!
Mate thank you...Sometimes I surprise doing other genre's sometimes not great but is something different from trance to challenge myself...Plus enjoy trying something new and put my stamp either good or bad on another genre lol...Peace n Respect Alex...Mosaic...
I really like that weird sound on first 8 bars haha.
This one seem to be constructed by alternating melodic and bass groove sections. Nice concept and it works very fine in here. Also the tempo change after the fast/loud section is very effective.
My favourite is 2:00 - 2:20. Interesting, powerful textures and good hi hat work!
great start with evocative guitar riffs. It is impressive how many elements you have accomodated here supporting the spiritual message (which is the main focus). Very intense and powerful track!
Thank you brother Alex.
Yes i have always enjoyed making music with meaning and substance. They seem to resonate for eternity and provide a solution or an encouragement for the listener.
this is some extremely peaceful and relaxing type of chillout. I like this one a lot.
I do not listen to mainstream chillout these days that much but anyway some of your synths (especially from 1:11) remind me of tycho https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z6ih1aKeETk
This one is in 6/8 (at least to me:) so from 1:46 when you play straight eights it is an interesting change.
Yes, from 2:22 it is definitely a Tycho terrytory haha. I really like the type of synths you're using.
I do not know that delay effect on the lead from 0:35... maybe it is too much of delay there haha but this is only my opinion. Distant vocals are very cool.
Overall a very fine production. I am looking forward to hear more tracks like this one from you.
I clicked that link about 3 hours ago now and for those 3 hours ive been listening to Tycho! haha hes awesome! you've introduced me to a new artist to listen to haha :D
but yeah back to this track haha..
Im glad you like it, and about the synths i do see thee connection to tycho! :D

LOW bass guitar, then dropped an octave on one line. Mean as can be.
I played with the hi-hats quite a bit, considering it's one thing that Mr. Nomad says helps break the monotony.
