This is really nice work. The vocals fit in the mix perfectly. Production is spot on. It's perfectly tuned for the radio. Not to experimental but has just the right bit of edge. great job
Cru
Awesome work. Sounds very Trap-like and the production is amazing. Weird to hear those old analogue drum kits being twisted like that, but that’s creativity at it's best.
all the best

Hey Poppe, my 2 cents. It's ok to put not fully released material on this site, because you are looking for feedback, so don't worry about that (Prom). I'm ok with the synth at :14 being not in key because it creates a sinister dissonance. I write sometimes with dissonance in mind and even a-tonally, so if it fits in your creative vision please keep it. (Epic). You probably won't get most of us to come over to the soundcloud site for 2 reasons. 1. were lazy, and 2 were incredibly loyal to what Shan has created on this site. So if you do have the whole version (unless your like static and have a 22minute version that won't fit here), please post it all here as well.
Cru
Joe, this is so sinister that I love it. Great great work. Minimalist. Kraftwerk like precision with your Teutonic vox makes this just so so good. I love how it builds with a cool stereo pan mix and then that bass. I like yourself am not a fatalist and believe in all that apocalyptic BS, but if there were an end, I would believe that this tune would capture the zeitgeist with the utmost accuracy my friend.
Cru
what a friendly comment. Nice to know that you believe it captures the Zeitgeist of a going down world :)
Cool that you think the vocals work with the music and the idea of the song. Sure it is dark cause it must be dark at the end of the world :)
The talent on this site just gets better and better each passing day. This is a perfect metal song. My only and I say only Critique is that at the end I would love to hear your voice go up an octave and maybe scream at us in an old school progressive metal operatic way for just a few bars. But that is my only complaint, the solo is spot on , the mix is sublime. great job overall. Even though I don't make metal music on this site, it is a Huge influence in my musical catalogue of songs and I appreciate when it's done right.
Cru
Ahh I enjoyed this one for the fun it brought. I agree with Spiv in that it's more trip-hop or garage than chill, but still doesn't take away from my enjoyment.
Steve
Yes, now I see it's much more trippy and quirky than actual mainstream 'chillout'. Just tried to 'harmonize' the acapella but it was probably too short so I started loading more loops and usied much of sound filtering and like.
Overall it came out quite experimental but I am really happy you enjoyed listening to this unusual piece. Thanks! Alex
Thank you Steve! I am sorry for such delay in replying on this one, I do not know if I will be able to manage all my unanswered posts ever. I am really happy you liked this final remix. I am aware that my dnb sound is quite different from the usual lm dnb. That's why people say it is a chilled dnb. They simply need to have lots of compressions and limitings to be able to hear. The way I hear is determined by my former musical education, here you can find my earlier organ recording and get the idea: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=92jrrSfwWNM
At the moment I do not have time for practising the real instruments at all but looperman helped me so much in keeping the creative process going. I am thankful for your openness and simply allowing your stuff being remixed and developed in any unexpected way.
I love the glass bowed effect, I have worked with ambient sounds like this before and it makes the best dissonant effects. This is a great effort my friend and i tthoroughly enjoyed it.
Cru
thanks cru. it was devilish making that glass bow settle down. i think i used 5 EQ plug-ins! nevertheless - yea - i came to like that sound in this. thanks very much for the thumbs up. appreciate. regards. Dan
Very nice composition Doug. Opening Piano Remined me slightly of Judas Priest "eulogy" off of the angel of retribution album. but this morphs into cinematic splendor. I love the strings chord progressions.
good work, fav'd
cru
Ok here is my take on this. There is a little bit of clipping I hear, lower your headroom before compressing. Your musical taste is much more eclectic than I gave you credit for my dear. I really like this though. My thoughts on effects are this....when you first get a hold of a new toy you want to try everything and you want to hear the effect slapping you across the face. But as you go on you learn when to hold back and when to use it effectively, and that just takes time and practice. So keep doing these segues as they will help you grow. I have about 26(90 min) old cassette tapes of material (from back in the day) that will never see the light of day because most of them were practice songs. For me listening to Bryan Ferry and Roxy Music, and Also Brian Eno was a master class in how to arrange sounds subtly and effectively. Some musicians used to complain that no one can hear themselves on a Bryan Ferry track which could have up to 30 musicians on it, but the whole sound together is what made it lush and vibrant...tasteful. so keep on keeping on.
Cru
Hi Steve!
Well, I still didn't lower the volume which I really should have and am going too because if I turn the limiter off, the master volume thing turns all red...the good thing is that I now actually understand why and so forth. So going to fix that later.
About the very cool new effects in Ableton - I turned some of them off now and tweaked some others. I'm hearing you there but Im still a little too found of them to hold back all the way. But maybe at the next tweaking.
About your old stash of practice songs - this Looperman account with a maximum of 50 songs (I'm on my 49th now, some of them are hidden) is my stash of practice songs I guess. Too bad people have to hear them!! =D
But I actually don't post ALL of them, I have an other stash in my daw that never will see the light off day.
Well, anyway thanks for the feedback and for sharing your thoughts Steve and I hope all is well with you.
Yeah...Not really looking for any words, know body want to hear
the things I was saying, this was way more then Adult Content
and I won't even want to go there now...
Glad you liked the Guitars...
you actually made it a-tonal. this might be the most avant garde work I have ever heard. You just invented scream-funk. I actually love this Antonious...it's bizarre and freaking original...Joe.. This kid should win this contest.....Joe..I think I may have to revive him...
