So this one was a cool entry in the contest. I liked the remix, I listened to the soundcloud one as well. I liked the mood it evoked with the reverses on the vocals. I was thinking on the chorus it would be cool to add a (lower in vol) track about a 5thchord away to create a harmony effect. Felt like it was a techno-emo valentine ;-) Anyhoo thanks for entering the contest, you did well in the 21 songs I had to judge.
Steve
Thanks for taking the time out to have a listen and review my track - much appreciated! Yeah I agree and I think it needs a little more somewhere in the verse as well to be honest. I may revisit it sometime and see what I can do with it. Thanks again though.
I very much enjoyed this one. I like the placement of the guitar in the mix in subtle positions. The mixing and arrangement of instruments is sublime. Great job!
Steve
Hey Eric. Yes I would need the stems with no effects as I would add in my own. But I could also use the ones with effects. if you wish to send me all the stems I would love to remix the whole track, that would be fun indeed. In Acid I had to either render the isolated track, or just right click on the track properties to save the stem. Not sure about logic.
Steve
I loved the choir on this one, with that muted bell, and would love to remix this one. let me know. Great job on the contest BTW, and thanks for joining in.
Cru!
Thanks for the oppurtunity!! It was nice to see how positive everyone is and I'm looking forward to future contests. Would love to see a remix done of this!!
So a serious congrats on winning the contest. This is a beautiful composition, my wife and I thoroughly enjoyed listening to it. It builds so sweetly and that voice is ethereal. the melancholy of distance though actually seems hopeful that love will be joined together.I agree with Promenade as he describes Wagner's Parsifal. I hate Wagner for his Anti-semitism, but the man made some of the most serene music ever. this tune is in that stratosphere. I can say enough how much this tune moved me, so again congrats on such a fine work.
Steve
thank you steve, you don't know how much this means to me. that I may have found something I'm good at. As a newby I have alot to learn but thanks to the looperman community I've also learned alot just happy my music can touch people. it is a great honor.
Thanks for the props Eric, but it´s only a minor in music, my true major is in Marketing. ;-). Great tune Eric, you took the Rik Ocaesek comment to heart as I see. SAW isd easy in hindsight, but I give great credit to them for innovating a unique sound that was not heard at the time of there Zeitgeist. This song you did, is so awesome. eighties sound, but I love your vocals. I would love to enhance the stem, so let me know if you want that, and I think it needs to be a little louder in the mix. but seriously great job.
Steve
Thanks, Steve. I really wasn't sure if this did sound 80's at all. I'm actually a bit surprised at the vocals. Three very different vocal styles in the same song. Not quite sure what to make of that.
Anyway, yes I'd be very interested in having you enhance the stem. I'd like to see what you can do with it.
Should I output it entirely without any effects? And, would you want a stem of the instrument tracks all together (i.e., without the vocal) so you can work on the vocals in context?
There are actually about 5 separate vocal tracks I think, including the "echo" vocals at the end of the verses. I should be able to bounce them all down into one vocal stem, but you might want me to keep them separated if you think that you might be applying different effects to different parts of the vocal.
Let me know how you want the stems. In the meantime, I'll research how to produce stems in Logic Pro. (Have never done it before.)
Good tune, Nice sound you have going on.
reminded me a little of Bryan Ferry´s cover of ¨Johnny and Mary¨ with Todd Terje https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Din_eWjJWe0
good work

All Politics aside, what an awesome tune you have created. but I really love the fact you took all that energy and stopped it with a killer breakdown. Evan you are truly growing as a composer and a musician and a producer. I truly enjoyed that 5:31 and it flew bye.

Ah, yes. Murica. Where over half the population helplessly watch the dismantling of everything, while the rest wait in silence, watching the upheaval, gauging whether or not they can publicly support this #####. Misdirection and subterfuge abound!. There is some hideous ##### going on in the background, I'm sure.
What blows my mind is this; How can one defend the removal of all press from the White House? Doesn't that clearly show that the administration is doing ##### that they can't even let their supporters know about? If they were doing the will of the "majority" of voters, the press is the top tool for communicating these achievements to the public.
Anyfuckinway......... man, it all pisses me off. #####!!!!
.....sorry. Let this be the end of our discussing Murica's 4 year parade of shame. Music is supposed to be the distraction and relief from it all.
I agree this one needs vocals. Really uplifting melody and a great use of the plucks. Definitely not deep house but this has some commercial potential. good work.
Cru
I like the melodic arrangement. Have you thought of using some of the free vst synths avail on the site, it would liven up the basic midi instruments on this mix.
Cru
Thank you, crucethus. Yeah, Sunny's tone, talent and skill are pretty amazing to me, forcing me to up my game as a songwriter. She noodles around a bit and then we usually get the keeper on the 2nd take. She goes out for a smoke and me and the engineer just stare at each other, like - "Really? That can be done?" So I feel very lucky these days.
Amazing. That intro just keeps building and the harmonics converging to create that dark sinister sound, and yet with some hope. 2:09 reminds me of a drum effect Ultravox used on there song Vienna. Then 3 mins on just chaos in a great way. Super Creative and supremely executed. More intense then Carl Orff´s Carmina Burina. 4:40 lovely string and choral coda. my only wish is that you ended it on a major chord instead of what I thought you would do with a minor chord, but then you decided to make a dissonant chord with a vocal SFX end. Tricked me ehh? I can´t say enough about this one my friend, outstanding work.
