on Akira by LoyaSauce
Great movie, had it on videotape years ago. The music here is a nice representation of the feel of the soundtrack at certain times in the movie. Nicely constructed piece!

on Brain Fog by crucethus
O = omicron? Hope you are ok if so.

It feels like I've been in a brain fog since all this covid crap has been around. My internet ordering skills have improved and I've been mixing more but my social skills are in a fog, for sure. lol

The first part is a bit tribal, a bit funk and hip hop. Just not enough funk here, I miss Joe Funkmaster. The bass is cool, did you get Flea to come over? Punchy drums in the second half, listened on headphones. Good track to go for a walk and set the pace in the old headphones.

Hey Wayne, yeah it's now been 8 days of the Omnincron Covid for me now. Like a Bad cold, I can't shake. The good news is that I am double vaxxed with a booster so I should not end up in a hospital. Just kinda in a no-mans-land right now with a slight cough, slight stuffy nose, slight fatigue, and no sense of smell. I wanted to capture the feeling of fogginess in the song and come out of it with clarity at the end. I asked Flea, but he was too busy telling me to Fook off, so now, I had to settle on loops. At 100BPM it's the perfect walking Cadence. I wish I had more Food choices for delivery round my parts. Thanks for stopping on by.

Good title, seems fitting. Music for the mind, food for thought. Good for the senses. Nice lows. Two thumbs up!

on lo que hicieron de mi by Ashesndreams
Love the crunchy sound of the guitar and vocals and the simplicity of the track. Very raw.

Most people are so attached to their own beliefs that they just cannot accept the fact that others can have different or opposing views. And that applies to all aspects of life, politics, abortion, human rights at all levels... We are going backwards it seems in my country, sad. Who's next to get persecuted, the guy that doesn't smoke the same cigarettes as "they" do?

With music you can express a lot, keep it up!

on 4All we know by Jynxz
Reminds me a bit of the Brand New Heavies as far as the flow and sound of the production. Cool changes and nice choices on all the instrumentation, there's some tasty synth sounds and playing, very well done Mr Jynxz!

Hey Wayne,

You've just given me some homework. I have to check out
the Brand New Heavies.

I'm glad you liked my arrangement and the Synth sound I'm
still working on hopefully one day I'll get the exact sound I hear in my head.

Thank you for giving my track a listen and for the informative and encouraging comments.

PEACE...

Has a Motown feel to me, nice job with the production. A walk in the park, good title/line in a song. Nice tempo, like a walk in the park man, he!

Wayne, thanks for stopping by. Hate to break it to you but I'm not the master mind behind the instrumental/beat. That's a producer that goes by the name of Kozy, you could find him on soundcloud. A walk In the park indeed. I was trying to do something that lived up to Sandra's Rose by Drake, firee song if you haven't heard it yet I reccomend it.

on The Dance by CitizenMofo2
Check this out, the Thunderbolt Project, these guys propose the universe's cosmology is electric, people are electric, planets and stars are electromagnetic in nature, they have magnetic fields, right? That's why some stars are brighter and some dimmer, they are reacting to their electric potential surroundings. Black holes are easily explained, that's where energy is accepted into the galaxy. Explains the jets seen streaming out of the middle of galaxies. Certainly more logical than the crazy math and physics used to explain black holes. Sorry, Steven Hawkins was wrong. Gravity can be explained in the electric universe. And it's all backed up with science, science that universities won't teach because of funding issues. Governments and donors will not fund new thinking, even if it proves the existing science wrong. It's always been that way and always will. Wal Thornhill is a genius.

You'll like this, makes you stop and rethink the universe when it's more easily explained by science that nasa refuses to accept and skirts around all the evidence they keep finding that supports the electric universe.

Cheers!

I will check this stuff out, and thank you. And I would in turn draw your attention to macrophages. Watch them chasing bacteria and eating them and realize there's some form of consciousness and intelligence going on there at the cellular level. This is in our own body, uncontrolled by our brain, multiplied times a billion. Then watch videos on mycorrhizae, underground networks of fungal roots and plant roots that are intelligent networks spanning entire forests and connecting thousands of plants. Begin to understand that the forest is a single organism, with its intelligence undergound and consisting of networks of roots. You can watch videos of fluids moving through the mycorrhizae, then instantly changing direction. An intelligent decision being made where there is no brain. Then look into the cosmic web of dark matter that existed shortly after the Big Bang, which consolidated hydrogen into the first super massive black holes which now seem to be the central pillar of every galaxy (and there are trillions). Do you see where this is going. Networked matter is the source of intelligence in our universe, whether under the ground or in our own brains or in the structure of the universe. And then I suggest studying waves. Everything moves in waves, including electromagnetism which you mention. Anyway, fascinating stuff!

on Siren by MPOProduction
I like this, has an island feel, great beat! I especially like that Cm Fm Gm chord progression. The music and the pella work great together. I used to listen to a great reggae radio show out of Boston driving home from work and it played all aspects of reggae, this song would easily fit in the playlist, well done!

on The Dance by CitizenMofo2
I write many of my songs without using that "verse, chorus, bridge" formula. To me it allows the lyrics to be more flowing and less structured, creating variety in the melody. Wish you included the lyrics because this is pretty cool! Neat effects on the vocals, unless that's your actual voice, he. The music is very tribal, percussive and a bit aggressive, fitting for the track, well done!

I watch a lot of university lectures on anthropology, early civilizations, physics....on youtube. It is interesting to wonder how people lived in the past, how smart they were to live and exist without electricity, heated homes, grocery stores....

Good one man!

Thank you, Wayne. I, too, watch tons of YouTube videos on everything from ancient footprints to black holes. It is crazy interesting to learn about everything, because everything's connected. The ##### we learned is school was all wrong -- all of it -- and the only way to really understand anything at all is to keep learning your whole life, because your brain is a muscle, and the more you use it, the stronger it gets. Learning, thus, for me, is a spiritual journey. So yeah, I love to learn about the ancients and how they lived. Lately, I'm really interested in Gobekli Tepe and the ancient Egyptians. I think the past is wide open and being completely rewritten. There may have been waves of civilization that were lost. I'm open-minded about everything -- just fascinated with it all, as it sounds like you are. Thank you!

on Berserk by ripzore9191
Not bad man! There's lots of a capellas that might work well with this track if you ever decided to add some vocals. Maybe some aggressive hip hop or rap styled vocals or even some of that screamo style would work right after the intro after the 30 second transition.

That's my 2 cents.

on Etude - The Power to Believe by Killick
First things first. I can tell just by looking at the waveform you added more volume to you mix, that's a good thing!

Great intro, your vocals are strong and the dreaminess of the pad behind it is nice. The guitar adds the opposite of the pad, some gritty sound to oppose the pad. The piano is incredible. Epic song Cam, quite a pleasure to listen to!

I'll take a guess on who wrote the lyrics. Was it Eddie Vedder from Pearl Jam?

Take care!

Wayne
Killick
Killick replied 5th Apr 2022 - 4 years ago
Hey Wayne, thanks so much. Generally I do try to make my mixes fairly quiet and then pull the master up about 6-8 db. Oddly, I've started looking for the same thing in waveforms that you noticed.

Also, great guess but no! Now that I think about it, kinda does sound like one of Vedder's lyrics doesn't it?

on Fragment no4 - Backyard Birdsong and Sax by pseudoble
Cool, relaxing atmosphere, a bit, jazzy, a bit psychedelic, a bit middle eastern. The bird chirped out of key at 1:38 though, lol. Where is Ravi Shankar when you need him, a little sitar here and there would be a cool touch.

Nice one man!

on Night Rain - Ambient Lofi in C by pseudoble
This, to me, has a space theme to it. It's sounds are spacious, lots of movement and wondrous sounding. Some ambient music sounds like water or a forrest or a walk thru a jungle but this one has that space feel to it.

Well done, worth a few listens!

Yup, you crushed the vocal track, lol! Slow tempo adds to the drudgery of the song, like you are walking through a quagmire of filth and destruction. A dark and menacing theme for sure.

on Quiet and cold by sirefox
The pads and synths are very well done and they compliment the vocal which sits in a sea of reverb. Nice changes with some neat dynamics to help make the song much more interesting. The drums do the job and don't need to do more than carry the beat, there is enough going on rhythmically that they can take it easy on this track.

Very cool!!

on Anywhere Out Of The World by ClickbaitCabaret
DCD has put out some interesting and unique music. Only have 1 disc of theirs but impressed with their arrangements and production. I can see why you would be drawn to them and try to move towards that.

This is along their feel for music, very cinematic, as I think their music is. It's a bit dark and distant at times, helps with the mood.

Well done!

From the first note I was hooked! Very cool, the funky music with the cool, modern vocals. There is a crossover feel to the track, this should appeal to a wide variety of music lovers. The woman's vocals were a nice touch too.

Well done to both of you!
