Hi juankar, it is intentionally short. I have just uploaded a longer piece now. Thanks for the comment and the listen!

Thanks, glad you like it. You never know what the future holds :)

Ay Juan! Every musician starts out as an enthusiast haha...my brother and I are working on the vocals now, haven't hit falsetto yet, but we'll see what we can do. I really want to explore a /afrodystopia /afrotech kind vibe, the main challenge now is trying to make sure it's very obviously african but letting it still be very palatable. :fingers_crossed: we figure out the formula!

Juan, I also sent you the lyrics. I had forgotten to include them. Well, let me explain everything. First of all, once again, thank you on behalf of all of us.

At 1:20, yesthats the point where the track truly gains identity, emotion, and intensity, not only sonically but emotionally as well. Up until then, I wanted it to feel like a transition from something subtle into a much more emotional listening experience. Like the scene weve been waiting for in a film.

At 2:35, its simply Nadines second vocal line processed through chorus, delay, reverb, dynamic EQ, EQ, and Altiverb 6, giving it space and presence, along with Melodyne to tune the vocals into the proper key.

The fade-out is mainly acousticwe gradually reduce the performance itself and then continue the fade on the console. At the same time, we increased the guitar amp volume, placing the microphone close to the monitor so we could capture the distortion feedback you hear underneath.

So thats how this track came together: with a lot of work and several dozen hours of recording. Saluti Chris.

You actually heard this on SoundCloud? I know I posted this on reddit to get feedback when I finished it.

Thanks again!

Hi Juan
And thank you so much again. I think your my biggest fan lol.

Thank you so much! From Cyberflares and Pnnywze, The Loserz Club

Ay thanks OG! :)

It's really high praise that it fits! I'm having an issue now where I'm not sure what to do for the vocals, like I figure it will be falsetto, I figure some floating over this beat would be sick. I think maybe going light on vocals might be the choice. Idk, when it comes to vocals, what do you hear?

Great thanks

Lovely to read this :)

hi Juan thanks for stopping off, i have been a follower of hip hop for 40 years it all started for me as a dancer, i done the holiday camps and spent 3 years as a younger man having fun, i was a street dancer i carried on until i was 55 until i dislocated a rib doing a windmill lol, my son came in to hospital and laughed maybe now its time to quit the energentic stuff Pops, i was introduced to music production and fell in love with it, especially the LM community it was naturally the path i would choose hip hop, i have done Indie and Ballads but i do love my hip hop its a culture my friend it was quite political and explosive in its early days too and the dancing grafffiti wearing bright colors was all part of it and standing out.
i have had a very intriguing life complicated and painful at times with tragedy sprinkled in also so lots of my lyrics are based on my life or friends close too me and my job is to make the story come to life and feel as real as possible, i love to play a part in helping to build what we have here and moreso comment and give feedback and encouragement to my talented friends and of course my friend the spanish guitar is a huge part in hip hop too a truly wonderful sounding instrument with definition and character, i also don't leave comments to recieve them back, i do it to inspire others after you work on a production and to hopefully encourage you to continue as the community will emrace it make you feel your time spent was worthwhile, it all makes toward a safe place to help you feel comfortable sharing your music, i also have an extremely close group here but i include everyone, as you have to be brave to bring your own music and stand up to be counted and judged. artist are one of a kind, we share a passion

Thank you for your feedback and praise. I am also deeply impressed by your work and am already looking forward to listening to your new project.
In addition, I pay a lot of respect to you in terms of taking care for your animals. I am sure they will enjoy a pleasant twilight of life at your home. Best wishes, Ben.

Thank you! thanks for listening - and I am glad you liked it!

i ll upload more soon :)

Thanks man and yes i am, i am super stoked how the song came out from Manuela and the true sisters.
thanks for your continued support its always appreciated :)

Thank you! I will say that some of my work is trap-adjacent, but not all, esp recent stuff with my group. Experimentation leads to some pretty amazing things

Thanks a lot. Yeah and horizontally inclined is also good!! Cheers Zoot.

Thanks Juan. I tend to get pretty intricate and almost ocd when I do a big edm dance type mix. It's just patience and equalizing mainly to give room to all the layering.

Thank you so much for the listen juankar. Glad you liked it.

Much respect for the comment and for spending your time with the song, Junakar. Sometimes its hard to put certain feelings into words, so music becomes the language instead. Im glad the vibe and message came through clearly to you. Your support honestly adds fuel to the creative fire :)

Haha ;) using the words from Dimestop: "Go ahead, hit the play key"
Glad you like it.

Ofcourse you must miss me!! your my fan lol .
The lyrics....yes if a song comes from my heart it sounds better.
Thanx for your compliment and being my fan.

That is real live sax by Steve Bone (UK). He gets all the credit. I guess I get some credit for editing and arranging it. He is so talented and also plays other woodwinds, flute, clarinet, and even Bluesharp. I think he has some videos on YouTube. Bottom line, he's excellent. I thank you on his behalf. Buen dia, Cosmo
