on Fragment no4 - Backyard Birdsong and Sax by pseudoble
ah, ian, mate. this is photographic, documentary, hypnogogic. not to mention poetic as hell. nice world-building!

Hey Michael - I like the percussive elements that I ended up with in this one - what sounds kind of like cymbals is a free vst clouddrum and an Indian one stringed instrument the Ektara which someone has sampled (free from descent sampler) both playing the same few notes together and then run through the (free) OTT compressor. There is also a vst french horn and a vital synth preset adding texture. Got the modular synths clicking and popping too before finding the sax samples and recording the bird. And then I blended 28% of everything back into the mix at half speed which is an interesting alternative to delay. Not that you asked but thought you might be interested : )

on Signals by StarTravels
hot dog! you guys are better than dune. utterly fab!
StarTravels
StarTravels replied 18th Mar 2022 - 3 years ago
Wow, better than Dune is amazing. Although the genre assignment was once again more than a bad compromise, but they've got no "space dance" in the selection...
Thank you for listening and the nice comment.

on SaveMe by PhillyBe
you made me wait for it but you brought it — the first of the brushed snare, and i was launched after picking up speed from the first section, then landed back on my feets!

Thank you so much xstokes. I love hearing what you say. Keep talking! It is always great when a person shakes off the dust and gets ready for the next challenge. Hope I’m ready! Thanks again for the words.

on The great trip by ThierryVend
very inviting sounds and cool looping selection/arrangement. might be my speakers, but the violin sits really high in the mix. i enjoyed the extended and thoughtful vibes!

Hello Xstokes,
I’m sorry I didn’t get back to you. I’ve had a busy schedule these past few weeks.
Thank you very much for your feedback. I appreciate your constructive feedback.
I also followed your recommendations by reducing the volume of the violin. I hope that ceal will be better for you. I dialed for a headphone.
