..Bro. That intro can be transitioned into something pretty dark and epic I think. It kind of fits the idea for my EP Mecha EXE Legion, I've been pretty immersed in dnb lately. Maybe we can transform this into a dnb production? Let me know what you think. Either way I just wanted to share ideas or maybe contribute some of mine if you want. I like what it transitioned to, it has a 8 bit nature to it. Kind of sci fi/cinematic too. I just see more potential within...so yea. If you wanna collab, let me know! peace
Nice. Like the choppage in this one. (The gated like synth) The drums need some work though. The arrangement was well done though, digging that intro. The sound is great as well, just would of like more done with the drums. Some bass or a deep sub is really essential within dnb too. Don't get me wrong, I still like this production. The main synth or whatever is amazing though. Just needs more, keep it going! peace
I think it sounds pretty damn amazing with just the piano. I didn't have much of a problem with the vocals. They fit the vibe of the song nicely. It could use a dubstep remix....but I love the piano as instrument so much that I think that might ruin it.
For me at least. Didn't see much wrong with it as a piece alone, it could fit for a transition into the dubstep remix next instead. As if it was a mix or part of a collection. An intro track.
But I really dig this though man, has a real somber chilled out mood. Great job, peace
Sup. Nice sounds on this one, good snare rolls. Definitely fits the Halloween theme, tried to make it to fright fest in six flags but maybe next year. Oh well, pretty nice beat. Would of liked a bit more done with the arrangement and the mixdown is a tad too loud. Who am I kidding though, TURN UP. Till the next one, peace
Hey man good to hear from you, as always thx for the comments. I did try to do more to the sound but when I did some of the sound was too low and I wasn't getting the feel I wanted, there are so MANY sample on this track that it was a pain mastering ever single one I think I missed some after my mind went blink, so I like fk its good enough. Well thx for stopping by mate and I will stay tuned for your next work as well.
Great instrumentation, really nice drum rolls and breakdowns. Outdoes the vocals though for sure. I agree with DJshemzee too, they could also be a bit louder. Excellent guitar playing and the mix is pretty nice. No real critiques except the vocals, overall arrangement was pretty dope. Very nice job, peace
Chilled dnb. Nice remix here Promenade! I like how you still kept in that snare. (It may be a different sound though, not sure) The drums are a bit iffy at times but they still blend together well. Love the synths and atmospheres. Relaxes me. I've had a stressful hectic year so this definitely helped. Great work, peace!
hi Gramo, sorry for slow reply.
that snare is on the dnb drum loop I used - maybe it sounds like this because of unusual mixing, I do not know. This is one of my first songs in the genre - I do not listen to much to dnb at the moment so let's say it's still an experimental track of mine. Anyway the 'iffy' drums you mentioned are from sampled crucethus's song - I couldn't separate pads from drums.
Really nice to hear this music could have that kind of relaxing impact.
Thanks a lot for your comment - it is appreciated! Alex
Your best yet. The piano sounds superb except for a small bit after 1:06. Sounds a lil out of tune. Loving the break down with the drums, the snare that hits every other bar or so is nice. I like that wave like pad after 5:15. Spaced out vibes. Would of also liked to hear a bit more done with the drums. Otherwise, really like this track, excellent job. peace
1:08 I am jammin all the keys with intense emotive expression, and yes................. I hit a wrong note...good ear. I am not a trained Pianist so this was new territory for me back in 2003. But I like that there is this fault in the composition. I may revisit this in a modern way so who knows what will come of the modern mix in the future. As Always thanks for your insight and appreciate the props.

Plus for it ending at 4:20. lol Nice to see you with another track, really digging the piano. Synths are nice, could of done a bit more with the beat though. Maybe add a snare. It's only a suggestion but still manages to work well without a snare because the other instruments. Nice tune SJ! peace
Sup man, so digging the sounds used. What is the bpm of this one? The drums kind of have a roll to them but it seems slower paced compared to what dnb usually is. More house I guess but I've never been big on genres. It's all just music to me. Really like the arrangement to this, synth combinations are really nice. Great work Geophase! peace
Groovy production. Chilled out vibes are really nice. Synths are aquatic like in the background. Nice airy feeling, no real critiques on this one. Magnificent vibe. peace
Very melodic, could fit in a new megaman x game. Or a fanmade video. Most of the series soundtracks has many melodies. I digged it man, Excellent work. peace
This Vicissitude track sure has attitude. An underrated track on here for sure. Definitely more drum step than drum & bass. But very nice production, well done on this. peace
Nice chilled out dnb track. (Basically liquid dnb) Good work for a first attempt. Colorful synths and nice melodies. Ended abruptly however but still was a nice first attempt. Digs it! Keep working, peace
Thanks man. It was a preview to the main track so I posted it on here so people could see how good it was and if I could make adjustments or something.
Sick work man, agree with everyone else. Really stellar work, I'ma be sure to bring my A++ game when I finish my latest track. Sick work with the drums and sound in general. I'll be listening to your track and then this later on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_WwiOoTQiPo True dnb right here, can only imagine what a 320 would sound like. Excellent production, peace
So are you really 11 years old? Pretty nice stuff I've heard uploaded from you. Keep it up, you already have great talent. I like the steady beat and vocals to this, really relaxing. peace
Vapor like synths in this track. Sounds perfect for a wipeout sort of soundtrack or any of the many racing games I like. I have a deep house track started that I think might turn out pretty well. Is deep house usually around 6 minutes? Sick production man, peace
hey bro, unfortunately I am pretty poorly versed on the conventions of deep house and chillout. I just went with a pretty standard 2-break track structure and at 123 bpm it turned out around 6 minutes long. Thanks for the listen, good luck with your track. I'll keep my eye out for it.
Sort of a dark ambient dnb track. I've tried to make a ambient dnb track a while back but it seems you beat me to it. This sounds like it's at a low bitrate or the mix could just use a bit more punch. Instruments are still well distinguished however. Those echoing synths and that electrifying reece synth is nice. Mystical sounding production. The vox is a nice touch. Funny at times. Keep em coming, peace
Thank you for your comments. Sadly all the original recordings got destroyed so I can't go back and remaster them. Glad you enjoyed it and I look forward to your ambient dub track. Give me a nudge when you've created one. I've had a listen to some of your material and liked it. I'll definitely be revisiting your page. Rock on :)
This is..almost a lil too much irony. I watched a video last night that informed me of what the last episode of "Tom & Jerry" was. Not sure if 100 percent true because I haven't watched the last episode. It showed clips though. I dunno if you've ever watched it but I don't think you necessarily have to like cartoons to have seen this show before. Anyways, I didn't know the last episode was about both of them eventually killing themselves over cheating girlfriends. Their suicide was waiting for the train on the train tracks...eerie. This track almost fits that episode in a way. Creative use of fx. Synths are nicely done. Can hear this in Banjo Kazooie even too. Great collab between Spiv and Phatkatz. Definitely a cinematic production. peace
I remember Tom & Jerry but that is a bizarre thing to do for a last episode in a cartoon. I don't know Banjo Kazooie. thanks for the positive comments on the track. really appreciate it.
It would be hard to explain my ideas to you. But idk you say this is an aggressive track. I would emphasize that more, think of something that makes you really angry. The breakdown that starts at 1:55 is the most aggressive part of the song.
Adding some distortion (if there isn't already) to the lead synth could add more to it. I had a couple aggressive tracks I could of used as an example but I feel they aren't good enough at the moment. That's why I cleared my catalog, least on here.
The ambience at 4:42 could build into maybe a change of synth and maybe a darker tone. Some industrial type of fx might fit well in this. But yea, let me know what you think of my suggestions. A buddy of mine told me a while ago "sometimes you gotta let a song rock out." I think the track is nice for what it is now. Not too repetitive and gets the job done.
It depends how far you wanna go with it, tweaking the lead synth. Maybe play it differently every minute or so, adding elaborate fills, panning effects, various automation, maybe even automate the tempo and change the beat up etc etc. I've changed the tempo to a track before. The key is to making it work with the overall track. Instead of just adding too much and it all becomes redundant.
I've noticed I've been doing that with some of my latest productions. Hmm maybe less is more but put "extreme" focus on a couple of main instruments you think stand out the most and go all out with it. Alright, that was longer than I thought. Hope that helps! peace
For some reason this reminds me of Gex: Enter the Gecko. lol Don't ask why. Definitely insane sounding, I'm no stranger to insane type of tracks though. Aphex Twin is probably the most insane artist I've heard at least in the electronic department. Listen and watch the "come to daddy" video. It's flippin crazy. Over the top is good sometimes I think. It can grow into something more but all depends on what your going for. Interesting arrangement and great effects/buildups. Nice, peace
Thanks for your review Gramo. Yes, some downbeat-style samples used for the drums here, not really a tech kits. This is my first attempt to the genre - really glad you liked it! Best, Alex
Nice soft subtle feel to this. Smooth like texture to it, relaxing. Reminds me a hint of some songs on the .Hack game soundtracks. Great collabo. Very nice piano. Digz it, peace
How many other people do what? Typing while listening? Well, what I mean is this. I'll listen to a track and review as I go basically. So if I say something like "I really dug the part at the 1:00 min mark" I was most likely listening to that part as I typed it. Most others tend to finish a track and then review or comment.
