Thanks for your comment! Always appreciate your time. I don't intend to release longer tracks here right now, since a lot of time goes into the production of those compositions and we are only doing that for our licenced projects until there's more time.
Maybe the description was a little misleading, the challenge was this track, since this style (a fast paced action cue) is not something I've attempted properly in the past, this track is a first attempt at doing so.
I appreciate that, though the visuals will help some listeners to set the scene. Not an advertisement, simply something for the listeners to enjoy!
this is very fine, kind of old styled chillout synth sound. it's really sweet and midi layering is not that annoying (which is often the case).
never heard anyone playing any classical piece on here btw. maybe I will upload some soon.
Thanks a lot, appreciate the feedback.
I tried to emulate my old hero Tomita, but still, even now, he's difficult to match.
Let me know when you've uploaded.
this is some very nice one! probably my favourite from you so far.
I can listen only on laptop speakers now but I really appreciate the higher frequency spectrum of this short experimental sound-scape. It sounds glassy and it's very funky.
For me it is still a bit too short for a proper ambient. Ambient tracks are usually much longer and they evolve slowly. This is always the case in Steve Roach's works, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2-SiiwEciFs
but your track is of course a kind of a short illustrative piece and as this it works perfectly fine.
I am listening to the steven roach track right now. it is good to touch base with this master. you are right - this evolution of an true ambient track cannot be rushed. i am glad you had a chance to hear this little underwater track of mine though - it could certainly be refined more but it seems to work on some level. best regards - Dan
hey midiman!
drums and synths are indeed very 80's-styled but the guitar entry around 1:37 was so fine! Very groovy jamming!
Have you played all synths as well?
Hi promenade2239, Thank you for your kind comments on this track. The keyboard, Drums, etc was my Fellow College My03 also know as My05. I only did the guitar, part but judging from your comments at least my part was as good as the rest of it. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
hey. firstly I am here because you played my track.
This is very fine but strange ambient. I just listened to your other works and found them really interesting.
Overall I can hear Robert Rich combined with Steve Roach. Breathing reminded me of a scene from A Space Odyssey.
hey. nice production! maybe a bit too commercially-oriented for my taste but anyway I liked it. Very fine vocals. I'll definitely check out your acapellas.
very special style, kind of hard-synth-pop. Somehow there's no proper intro, maybe just start with drums only? Some of vocal manipulations were too sweet!
nice. this sound at the beginning reminded the violin sound a bit but it is of course computerized (I guess). I can hear harmonica as well and many other undefined sounds. Short but interesting.
piano ok. it gets some depth even (the very moment when drums comes in).
Overall the piano is played too low (overall). From 2:40 I enjoyed it because you seem take off all these elements for a moment. Nice start! and very great ourto (outro)
this is some very cool electronic track with fine old-styled elements (especially played on synths) - it makes this one so classic-sounding! Sadly it feels like a teaser so far - looking forward to hear longer version sometime.
nice! really great work with only one loop again. Also the vocal seems to be much better recorded now as far as I remember your earlier acoustic ones. Are you still using the same recording equipment?
I do not understand why this voice sayng 'C-Dub productions' is there. Where's the rest of the vocal part? It all sounds very unfinished but anyway nice effort.
The "C-Dub Productions" is my Tag/Watermark I put on all my tracks/beat(s). I've had some of my work stolen in the past and I don't want to go through the process of suing people again.
I saw your forum post and also I was listening to the first version.
This is some really interesting collab, very unusual. Do you mind if I make my version of this song?
Exploring new Roland synth I came across heavier sounds as well. Some of them are really cool, very classic and old styled. I think it may fit your electro visions as well, who knows haha. I'll send you a private message.
and... no, you do not need anything here! It feels complete. No 'cut' or 'drop' needed (whatever that means haha).
It's darker from my usual listening prefferences but I enjoyed it. Will try do it more dark and heavy (eventually) haha.
ok. so basically you want me to check out your new loops?
haha I remember using your synth loop once (which was great! - I played it in a different speed though)
Other than all I can say is that there are very few (if any) people here interested to really improve their work. Of course improvement can't happen instantly (it may take years, even decades lol)
All I can see now is countinous uncounscious porcess of bumping up the current productions on this site (I do that a lot as well).

P.S. I can send you these links if you're interested anyway
just listened again to your track. I can see that you have 3 piano tracks here - that one playing low chords is actually generating all that strangeness as there's no real bass line here.
Just wanted to point this out but I do not know how to really fix it (only You can do this). Maybe try working only on that single part alone and find a real bass line for the entire track. Bassline is always a foundation eventhough there's no actual instrument playing it.
There's so many people going for an 'effect' here (including myself) often disregarding the very basics.
I didn't mean really transposing your piano an octave higher (which would be probably very ridiculous-sounding), it's all about the piano chord voicings. If you play some of chord structures (voicings) too low on the piano it will sound very strange and harmonically unclear.
Hope some of this is useful.
Best, A.
P. S. tried to add many YT links but comment was refused
Yeah there isnt really any bass in this one, was pretty much just using the chords for it.
Well in my working version i did bump up the chords but i left a few notes down in the low chords, and it seemed to work, but had them at a lower velocity
If you check my loops the most latest one is the updated piano from the song...
Also about the bassline, yeah i agree think i need to find
one and implement it, because its not really got one haha
thanks again A for the advice,
this is why looperman is awesome for getting feedback on your songs :D
indeed the toms from 0:36 reminded pretty much 'Let there be drums' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zC9okWm8A6o (I did a little YT search:) It's an old styled special kind of rock - very bluesy, not something I am listening very often...
Thanks allot for your comment and the links. I checked them out and have heard 'Let there be drum' many times. His drumming was simple enough, that as a kid, I could play his beats, so it was a good learning exercise. I'm surprised there wasn't more of his stuff on YT. He did many albums.
I hadn't heard that particular Weather Report track, but am quite familiar with them. If memory serves, you do some styles similar to them.

Fell free to "enhance" it. I would love to hear what you could add to this track, or what you will do with it.

Nice flute action and Rhodes coming in at 3:34.
My favourite part is 3:25 - 4:00. It definitely reminds early 70's improvised funky jazz in the manner of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5bIk1Wl21Yk
