Thanks mudhoen :)

haha so true,i used ableton live's Eq Eight....thank you for listening!

Trip hop can vary a lot. It's basically hiphop mixed with other genres, I just like to do stoner and psych a lot xd.

Since psychedelic is a new addition to the genre choices, I'm glad that it is finally catching on! I guess I can't quite say what the "2nd part" is... it was all plateaus of different lengths, specialties and intensities for me. That 8 bit sort of sound you mention, while it may be the grasp of sanity in the beginning, sort of intensifies the time warp aspect later on. The primary vocal clips are actually from the early 90's, so it makes sense that they would give a 90's impression. I've been chewing on that half hour insanity for years now, as it was one of the best moments in television history. I can't help but autograph everything I do, it seems... even a simple conversation with a stranger. I frighten someone from a seated position, with witnesses and a digital recorder in hand. The world is beyond beginning to crack, and that needs to be addressed. Thank you for being the first to leave your comment on this piece... I expect my next one will be a lot different from this, as I don't usually work in the box like this. Thank you!!!

Yo.

"the mixing is spot on"

It really has to be with the kind of music I make otherwise it doesn't work properly. I'm not making catchy songs or dancefloor anthems so everything has to be sound good as it's supposed to be music you listen to over and over again.

"I love the chosen instruments"

Good. There aren't very many of them as I've kept it quite minimal and tried to get the cello to do as much as possible. I've been doing that a lot in the last few months.

"The way you use the cello is pretty unique for my ears"

Yes, probably so. I generally use quite a simple combination of effects (mostly delay, reverb, chorus, sometimes distortion) that means that I my cello never really sounds like a traditional cello, as used in classical music. I'd quite like to get that sort of classical vibe as I think it would inspire a different style of music making. But I also like the sounds I get using these effects.

"The short jazzy break at 2:50ish is awesome"

I was thinking of getting rid of that whole section that follows (the one featuring Fender Rhodes) but then decided that I like the drum loops too much to get rid of the section.

"that are coming in at 5:35 are a bit to sudden for my taste"

That's where there's a big, sudden drum fill as the swing jazz drumming returns. I wanted something exciting and explosive but maybe I've got it wrong. I don't mind hearing that.

"The slowing down to the end is really strong and gives a very dark and mellow touch."

Yes - I like that slow, dark vibe. The reason I did it is because this track was made out of another recent one that you liked:

The Mythical Gates

So, I still had all those slow, shuffle groove drum parts sitting on my timeline so I decided to reuse them (and change them). I think a slow, dark chillout ending is a good way to close things out and makes it seem like a real journey.

Thanks for the thoughts.

thanks for for the feedback man ,i'll do that :)

Thanks Mudhoen. I've already gone and taken some posted suggestions and I'm trying to let things soak in for a bit, The wife and kids are out of town, so it is nice not to feel rushed just to try to start and finish something in an evening. As for talent on here, you're absolutely right. You're part of it. Still go back and listen to Windrunner...it's that no frills, dark but uplifting trance that got me into this stuff years ago. And I'm guessing most, if not all, from scratch.

Thanks Mud I keep hearing some very laid back stuff on here recently and it is inspiring me toward trying to do similar.
Once again thanx.

well. thanks for your comment
yea it took me less than a hour thats a simple track, actually I put myself in challanges to make creativity. ehm.
actually that parts are the dubdrop that vocals should fall away cuz FM basses and leads should lead the music and vocals will change their places with other stuffs like pads and etc which are playing low and just making the track busy, noisy and populated which we need in dubdrops, thanks for your feedback btw.
hats off

Thanks mudhoen. For some reason I was writing a lot of bug sounds and tracks for the past few months. This was sort of a grand finale. Glad you had a chance to check it out and that you enjoyed. Best regards - Dan

thanks alot bro,very motivating to hear coz i was going through a tough time then..music is my drug.

Thanks dear mudhoen, initially the choirs starts with the "space" synth who you could heard at ends. Im happy to make the good choice to use only the choir.

I do not remember to put bells in my music you may confound with harp :P and originally its intended to have a low profile in the track I even thought to remove it but once done I feel about something missing so I reintegrate the harp.In the mixing part making the harps fitting with the rest was harder that I thought maybe I did something wrong.

I managed to coordinate chaos wow ! Seriously, the guitar part contains 3 different choir parts (bass strings, Piano, Brass)all with random velocity and volume. Im happy about you approve the result.

Like I wrote in the description you may have to consider this track for 3 different track that why there are a lot of things happening.

Thanks for your constructive comment I will check out about the harp if I can give him more room.

Peace from master Byleth

p.s im looking forward for your reply of the comment i posted on your latest track.

Thanks mudhoen.
I wouldn't say the mix it's loud but i agree that one of the elements you just mentioned shoud be more in the background and not as loud as it seems to be.
Thank you for your constructive comments.
Very much appreciated.

Nelson

Thanks for the feedback. I'll be a little more natural in upcoming productions.

Thanks! This track was aimed to be one of my most melodic tracks I've constructed. The hats really helped me with the feel of the track! Cheers!

Hi.

"Very soulful sound"

Yes - I try to make deep music that might move people emotionally and perhaps even physically. I don't make pop music though perhaps I could if I had to. But would I want to?

"vocal glitches in it really gives it great atmosphere."

That's just cut-up vocal loops with lots of delay. They really add to the atmosphere and kind of merge with the pad sound (which merges with the synth bass).

0:50 is my favourite vocal. That's an 800% timestretched one from another track of mine. In that track it was heard at the original tempo. It sounds better here.

"guitar coming in at 1:50 give it even more flavour."

Yes - I cannot resist playing lots of blues guitar over this type of laidback shuffle groove. It's really easy and you can do heavy or gentle playing. Or fast. Anything, really.

"Was interesting for the whole track even if it took almost 9 minutes"

That's my aim. It's unacceptable to me if any of my sections are boring so I have to keep doing all sort of things, big and small, to maintain listener interest and justify the length. I assure you I could have made this a lot longer and a couple of people have said they wouldn't have minded if I had.

Thanks.

Thanks for ur feed back bro..its Neely finished it I just have to master it..XD

Thank you!
You have a point... That melody is really a bit louder than optimal, but his balance is not too smooth. With some decreased volume, some notes of the melody is a bit lose into another instruments sometimes, furthermore some background guitar loop's rough cut's clipping (dozens if not hundreds!) will be lot more audible and like that, the track sounds on the whole less enjoyable. So this is a compromised resort after all. :)

Regards, traz

I'm not sure what shots you refer to, but I'll defer to your judgement. I'm surprised to hear the reggae hook up but I've been told it is a 6/8 beat....is that the same thing? Thanks for your listen and critique and what yo liked about the track. vic

Thank you mudhoen.
I really had fun remixing this song.Yes,Spivkurl has his very unique style and a very distinctive one.
Thank you for taking the time.
