Very nice, minimalist arpeggios sort of a hybrid of techno and trance but like you I enjoy Phillip Glass and a very minimalist structure so I think it's just fine the way it is nice work Alex
Steve
Thanks a lot Steve. It's really nice to hear you enjoyed this track. I am happy you had a chance to hear developed version - the song was initially quite simple. After reading the MWRatridge comment I thought of reworking it again but didn't know how to make a progress - DanceDemagogue sent me today his remix - my new version is based on his work.
I really like minimal-music. Probably the 'Variations for winds, Strings and Keyboards' by Steve Reich http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xb6vtl_variations-for-winds-strings-and-ke_music will be my favourite ever - I can't remember how many times I was listening to this.
There's a lot of things happening along the track now so I do not know if it's 'minimal' anymore, but of course it still can be, if needed...
Thanks for your time and nice comments on this track - it's always appreciated. Alex
I would call this Aceed-Step. As it has elements of old school dub-step and even older school aceed (acid-house) with a sprinkling of Electro. Super Creative and spivtastic (A new word to secribe great electronic music)
Steve
Hey Steve, thank you very much for your comment on this track! I really can't claim to know much about old school dubstep, I just took a ride on the wave (2012-2013) for a little while and then nearly lost myself in the undertow. Acid though I've been enjoying for quite a long time. I like the acid from the early 90's and the early zero's especially, but I can't help but listen to new stuff when it comes up. Coming from someone who knows their classic electronic music well, your comment pleases me! Appreciate it!
So Sorry for your loss. This is an Amazing tribute piece. You do an interesting mix of minor chords and the chords from "T.A.P.S."
Peace be with you my friend.
Steve
Thanks Crucethus. I had to look up T.A.P.S and it sounds similar to the last post solo that I sampled, I noticed a subtle difference. Stay strong brother. - B
Glad u Liked the remix, I created three distinct styles to give you a choice of what direction you might want to go in. The consensus so far seems to be the third movement in breakbeat style.
"though the strings you added in oddly faded in on the last notes of the piano"
Yeah I wanted to feature the strings on there own for a bit. As Eric also put it would be interesting to hear. I just did it before even reading that but I think he is right. The strings have value on there own as well.
In the future I will be working on a full length remix in the third style.
peace
Cru
I really Like the last part, though the strings you added in oddly faded in on the last notes of the piano, I think expanding on the last part and trying to get it into that style would be really cool to hear, but maybe even more of the top with electric sounds all over the place.
But I must say these ##### drums really add in a lot of energy, only thing I would change is the mixing there.
I am not sure if you were planning on changing this further or keeping it like this, but you surely surprised me with the blending of these styles and I like it :)
If this doesn't win the contest it's fixed...lol, just kidding. great mix, dynamics are awesome. Listening on old Bose 2.2 speakers with a Kenwood 40watt receiver and the bass just cuts through and sounds amazing.
You can take a bow my friend
Steve
Hey cruce, thanks friend! I'm happy to be amongst the two winners with this one, as I put a bunch of time into it. Helped me show myself that my right ear wasn't permanently damage by holding a cell phone set to speaker to my ear... man that hurt. Sounds like a cool little listening setup you've got there! I do love Bose. Thank you again for your very kind comment!
Not Jazz as it's a melange of Celtic folk scale and modern minimalism (Philip Glass). But that's just the musical disection. as a listening piece it's just damn fun.
Cru
Thanks Cru. Actually I decided to go on with Fusion, since I've gotten different genre preferences. This was really abnormal for me to make in a sense that working with my partner in this track give a new sense of style. If you check out my other tracks, this one, at least to me, sounds the most different.
Love the name Aura first off. Secondly nice intro as the Pads build into the sequenced synth. Then the Bass Synths glissando back and forth. Not Till 55 seconds in do we hear the ##### elements hit you. Interesting work. stabs are nice before 1:50. kind of a calm before the storm from 1:50 to 2:15, then the stabs come in to build to a climax @ 3:10 I would have liked to see a bigger build up though. The synth pan flutes are a nice bridge at 3:10 and then we get back to the stabs and synth wobbles. Overall has great potential. I think IMHO you need to extreme the diffences between the breaks and the build ups.
Keep at this one it has such great potential I loved the structure of it.
Cru
I'm glad you like the name, I had finished the song and couldn't think of a fitting name for about two weeks
Bigger build ups definitely would have been great, that's something I need to work on
I feel the sentimet your family had through the piano. A playful fun song and i could see the little ones enjoying this tune.
good work. I think you acomplished what you felt!
Cru
Thanks crucethus! I'm pretty happy with this one and agree that I accomplished what I felt at that particular moment. Thanks for stopping by, take care :)!
Thanks mate, sorry for taking so long to get back to you. I've not been on the site much lately.
Thanks for dropping in and giving it a listen and a thumbs up!

Ok So I have started to sort out some ideas. (140 or 70 bpm) here is a sample of a dark remix I recently have done for Prelude. https://www.looperman.com/tracks/detail/152903
It was my melange of cinematic strings and vocals and I added all the rest. Love to know if this is a direction you would want to go in.
Cru
Thx for the kind words Cru! I'm a big Depeche Mode fan and I like some of Vince Clark's work after DM. Mainly Yazoo. But I never heard of this project. Thx so much for the link. Luv that track. Going to have to check out the rest of VCMG's work for sure! :)
Very Cool. Nice use of Re-verb, Love the solo work. But the subtle bass line and the glissando effects of that synth about 2 3rds in do it for me.
Good job Alex
Steve
Nice Intro, good percussion and pan spacing. Classic House sounds. Very Retro but well received over in this part of the world. The mixing is spot on and it builds really well. then a stiff piano and stiff strings. Bass line is good. The organ parts are phenomenal though. You just need a singer for this one. enjoyed on my end!
Cru
Love that bass line. it's restrained and yet effective. Al the nice synths are great ecoutrements. but the bass line grounds this tune. Sort of ethereal oboe like synth sounds nice and gives this such a otherworldly feel. Great work Steve!
Steve
So I am back to listen again to this exceptional piece of work. So Have you been able to convince her to continue. I understand breaks in composing as I have done so over the years as well. I wish you well my friend and peace and love in your life and hope that Corina still continues to grace us with her voice. Romanian is a branch of the Romance language that traces back to Latin and Corina is from Cornu or horn or a musical instrument that produces sound. She needs to Produce sound as it is her namesake. ;-) Maybe you can remind her of this.
