I Agree with Killumineye it does have an Irish celtic feel to it, but also a Senegalise sound, sort of what Babba Maal who has also used a Breton harp in his work. The Music invokes in me a sense of history or what I would call timeless music. Great song I really enjoyed listening to this one!

on Being from a VacUUmeD similar to my being Behnam by deciBel

Beautiful, I don't feel this is a sad song, as much as it is an uplifting soulful experience song. Like wise eyes reflecting on a lifetime of good and bad. Like time slipping away from someone. I definitely feel an ''enigma'' like quality to this as well in the musicianship. But outstanding work my friend., this piece moves me.

on I love you by OtherIdeasProduction

Without a doubt out of all the remixes of this song out there this is the best one I have heard. You do a nice job choosing underlying chords, the mono old record beginning adds an Old European feel to it. And your version is darker and a bit slower than the others I love it. Great Work

OtherIdeasProduction replied 2nd May 2013 - 13 years ago

Thank you very much for that great comment,buddy! :) It´s always nice to see people who really think deeply about music like you do. All hope is not lost,hehe.

To me that old record in the intro is about falling into your memories. But that " old Europe" idea is awesome too,i just never looked it like that but now i totally get that too.

Yeah,this song has definitely that dark yearning feeling to it.
Maybe because the singer is from Russia and i´m Finnish( right next door,lol),maybe that kinda glues the song together too.

When i heard her lovely vocals,it just had to be this style and this arrangement. I had no choice ,if you know what i mean.

Thank again for the knowledgeable comment. I guess you are little older generation too? I´m -74 myself. Usually younger people don´t make the comment you made,so i was just wondering.

Thanks again,buddy.Have a great day :)

on Autumnal equinox by deciBel

Very very good. Like you took simple Appalachian melodies, and old European string sounds, and added this ethereal ambient feel in the background. Future meets the past. I feel the ethos of Persia, Greece, the Mediterranean, The Immigrants of the U.S. and Canada all coming together with DaDa.

on The Benefit of a Doubt ft Farisha and Isaiah Page by SeriouslyJoking

Hey Serious:

I have to slightly disagree with my esteemed colleague on about the drums. I actually like them. I think I would add more percussion building throughout the song to make it's mark. Overall what an amazing improvement in loop control and sounds, and you still get to include your signature echo-verb sound on the vocal, which gives the mix a Jamaican dub feel. (check out, Sly & Robbie, and Osbourne "King Tubby" Ruddock, Lee "Scratch" Perry, Errol Thompson ) and you will see that you are emulating some of there style. Great Job , keep looping your getting better by the day! :-)

SeriouslyJoking replied 6th Apr 2013 - 13 years ago

Hi there!
Alright - You like the drums, I do to but I also can see what JoeFunktastic is talking about - actually I think it's that the piano doesn't sync with the drums all the way. It takes away the flow somehow.
Well, that I'm going to try to fix, and also increasing the pianosound should help a bit. And letting the drums build up is a definite Yes!

Oh, I SO want to be emulating Sly & Robbie, even a little tiny bit of emulating them will do!!! I love those Epic artists!
(The rest of them (Lee Perry etc.) not so much - I maybe should cut down on the reeverb and echoes a bit? lol
Or could it just be that I'm not really getting there Music? There are Epic too, no doubt.)

Thank you SO much for taking your time, listening and giving advice!

Have a nice day/ SJ

on nice and hot feat patricia edwards by mzo

This is great, reminds me of underground house in the late nineties in NYC, like Danny Tenaglia, or Junior Vasquez spun sounds. Minimal, high string note held above the mix, some singer with soul, and eclectic sounds beeped in, with a nice deep bass sound.

on bittersweet by gregjones

This is a good start. For a reference, the piano chord structure is the same as Marina and the Diamonds song Lies. There are a few good remixes of this song which could give you some ideas.

on She Sails Beyond The Mists FT Janis71 by brillbilly

Beautiful, haunting ,elegant, sad, hopeful , longing, thoughtful, and reflective are the words I would use to describe this lovely piece of art. It almost sounds as you have created a song that belongs on Roxy Music's Avalon . As I am listening to it I was thinking that maybe where you change chords you could add a reverse cymbal, then a cymbal crash quietly in the background. It might make that transition a bit smoother. Otherwise fantastic work.

Steve

on Let Me Be The One feat Patricia Edwards by newyorkminute

Ok, let me be the first one to comment.!

I only clicked on this because I saw the name Newyorkminute. I am originally from NY and now live in Montreal.

I am so glad I clicked. This mix gave be goosebumps, and a small tear. Not easy to do with me.

My synopsis: The suspended pads were brilliant... Prince like, Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis like...
Simple vocals no effects, works great,
Bass sounded perfect.
Piano was sublime and subtle.
percussion was great, built throughout the song.
The only thing, and I stress ONLY thing I would love to see top make this song over the top. Is to record a Choir singing in the background at the last chorus. That would make this song an unbelievable hit.
Thanks for sharing
It made my evening
peace
Steve (Crucethus)

newyorkminute replied 30th Mar 2013 - 13 years ago

Thanks for your feedback Crucethus. I was worried about the bass. I have some small Roland studio monitors but they don't really catch the low end. I had to rely on frequency analyzers...and the choir idea is brilliant.

on My first Ableton Track by ElectronBlue

Beautiful song, I enjoyed listening to this very much. Hey a stupid short term memory improvement trick. We have better spatial memory than cognitive memory. That's why we remember where we have been and how things should look when we walk outside. Associate a concept with a place. Like a Guitar phrase with the corner store. Or A Chord structure with your neighbours fence. You will find you can recall a bit easier that way.
Cheers
Steve

ElectronBlue replied 30th Mar 2013 - 13 years ago

Thanks crucethus for your kind comment much appreciated. Yea having a stroke really sucks but I am getting over it and improving all the time. My memory is improving a little but the damage is done lol. But hey! I get to play on it at my convenience if something dose not suit me. I might have a short memory span but I am not stupid lol.
