I like it! I do feel though that it could maybe use a little more evolution, a bit more development as it proceeds, because it has some length. Like maybe another instrument introduced in the latter part (I was sort of hearing an electric guitar in my mind) or some other treatment. You could have some more fun with it, but I like what you've done so far.
We need more genre names! Like "Amsterdam Pop" for something like this, bc you're probably not gonna hear it on a pop radio station but you might very well hear it in an Amsterdam coffee house. It's a great groove and I like it a lot. Didn't hear any need for vocals except maybe just repeated phrases woven into the sonic tapestry, but it didn't make me desire song lyrics on top of this great music which is quite interesting and delectable enough. Great work.
Lovely to get such a positive comment Mofo.
I was very wary of putting this one up.
The main sounds are very subdued and distorted and I thought people are just not going to get this.
Amsterdam pop!
I like it.
Great work so far, I really like where this is going. The electric guitar sounds rad but yeah, does need variations, maybe a wicked breakout solo. Looking forward to the final!
I've done that myself before, with the piano loops, because there are so many masterful, amazing, incredible piano loops here that you can't help it. I really love this piece, kind of a chill-out vibe, but with a lot of evolution throughout that keeps it interesting for me. My favorite little tiny bit was that brief screamy thing toward the end - it only happens once, I believe, and only lasts a moment, but I loved that. Great stuff.
Definetly true! I mostly try to make the sounds myself but sometimes you just have to take a grab in the big looperman library and honor the posted loops by using them for a track. In an earlier version I had that scream several times in teh last part but was afraid i was overdoing it too much. Thatswhy i only left one in.
Nice piece, great atmosphere, but my favorite part is the middle section - I really love that amplified shaker (or whatever it is) playing with the piano. Sounds real cool and interesting.
I like this piece, there's some great sound layering to draw my ear in, and I like the changes from lighter to heavy bass, and also the piano outro. One suggestion - I think it could use a break somewhere in it, maybe the piano in the middle, and then drop back in to the heavy stuff. My mind wanted a bit more evolution. For what it's worth!
I don't like the static at the very beginning or the fact that the piece cuts off right in the middle (what up with that?), but other than that this is a really strong start of something great. I like the obsessiveness of the music, the menacing tone. I wanna hear the whole damn thing though!
I like the basic music loop you have, but it's just a building block that needs more than just repetition, it needs development and evolution. Once you've heard the first 15 seconds of this piece, you've heard the whole thing pretty much, unless it evolves and changes, like life itself. My 2 cents, for what it's worth!
I'm not sure how I feel about this one. Not sure if I like it but I do appreciate it. Not all music is meant to be liked, or to be beguiling, or to be pretty. This is a lament and, while I don't know if there are any formal "rules" to that form, I'm sure some heaviness and density of feeling is in order, and some disharmony. This dances on the blade of disharmony here and there, which makes it hard to listen to in spots, but the density of the sound layers draws in your ear and mind and keeps you going on the dark journey. That's what I appreciate about this piece and find effective. Thanks!
Thanks Citizen i appreciate the input normally a lament is done by a bagpipe player where i come from in Scotland but i have now changed this track completely and removed much of the drone. Thanks and best regards.
So I was listening to a piece and trying to get through it but couldn't because it just didn't change - 4 minutes of a 12-second melody loop isn't really a song. So I abandoned it and went looking for something I could sink my teeth into and when I saw the honored names of these collaborators I clicked play. And was not, never am disappointed. You guys know how to do it. The piece moves. It changes. It evolves. It rolls like a river through changing terrain. It has layers of sound, of mood, of feeling that engage your ears and mind and heart and hold them, breathless, while the music carries you on its journey. This is music you can listen to over and over again and continually hear new things, because there's a cinematic complexity to the harmony. Great work, as always!
Hi mate...when I read the first sentence I wasn't sure what
I 'm reading about..haha...but everything became clear very quickly. It's a rare privilege to get such a positive
and lovely response as this one is ! Thank you so much for your great words and kindness !:)
I like this but like the 2nd half much better. For me, that's when the tune really comes alive and engages my ears and mind. Something to think about, for what it's worth, is more of a verse/chorus/verse/chorus structure, where you get some of that 2nd half goodness early on and then return to it later. That's kind of the hook of the song so that way you'd hook people faster. Anyway, I really like the 2nd half a lot.
I get what you mean, its like cutting the drop part up into two parts, the first part into the first drop/chorus and the second part (the one where the electronic guitar thing-y starts) will be on the second drop/chorus.
I could do that, if I can find someone to sing the song for me with them also having to write the lyrics for me too lol
Killer groove - really does put you into kind of a mystical state. Had to turn up my headphones volume so overall it's on the low-volume side, not mastered yet I guess, but I love the layers you've built here, and the broad aural field, gives me lots to listen to at different depths and peripheral distances. Great work!
Pretty amazing production for one night. I love the absolute crap out of this, with one big exception. The music is banging. It's really great, with a lot of evolution, changes, breaks, drops, and a terrific groove to carry you through. That part's amazingly good. I think the vocals are a tad underwater in the first part, a bit deep in the mix, cuz when you hear them more clearly in the next section with quieter music, you hear the beauty of the voice, but not so in the first part. But the big issue for me is the lyrics. Forgettable, a string of cliches, feels like placeholder lyrics to me at this point. Forgive my bluntness, but this fantastic music deserves fantastic lyrics, with more punch, sparkle, freshness, interest. Take the lyrics to the next level and this is a hit. Hope that helps!
I like the vibe of this drum and voice track a lot. I like the simple melody and the reverbed vocals - what you have so far sounds great. But I don't think the journey is complete. It feels like the start of something really great but which needs more development.
Pure brilliance coming out of my headphones. This is fantastic. It's a cheeky piece, with a sly look in its eye. All the little weird sounds creating their little melodic streams, intersecting, doing a separate dance, swinging back around to meet and party, and the whole river flowing along effortlessly sparkling and effervescent with wit. Really enjoyable.
You comment was extremely entertaining to read! This one, and the other that showed up at the same time, got lost in the booze shuffle last week. I'm sorry about that!
"Cheeky" and "sly" are definitely appropriate words for this song, from my point of view. The monotribe and the modular make a great team, in a pro wrestling sort of fashion.
I've been working hard to bring an RnB/psychedelic edge to some works using guitars and basses, and man is it a challenge. Been having to change the way I think about music. Can that really be a bad thing though?
Your idea of "the whole river flowing" makes me think of the walks I've been taking along the creeks and rivers here. It's sort of a neighborhood watch item for the year, since in recent years the parks department has been assaulting the people and nature with glyphosate and 2-4d. I've been watching and waiting to see if they begin again... but it is already past when they began last year, and nothing. I worked hard to let them know it was not okay, and I'm hoping I was even a small part of the change. So the year has been a bit "sparkling and effervescent."
Welcome back! Yeah, family can eat you up. I did it for 30 years, but now, both alas and yay, I get to focus on music. I think there's a lot of good stuff in this track, I like the concept, but I like it best when the beat is hitting. There are long stretches of the whispers without much beat going on, and I'd reconsider the length of those, because the real action is when the hammer's pounding and the bass is heavy. Thanks.
There's a lot of crazy strange beauty going on here. The depth and texture of the music intrigues me tremendously. Should it be longer? Could it be longer? Hell yeah, but great track!
thanks! yeah I was considering making it longer but it was super dense and I wanted to make sure it was interesting the whole way through instead of just being a wall of sound for a few minutes.
I'm working on more developed compositions these days (this is actually a couple years old now :P). But regardless, I am appreciative of your listen and I'm glad you enjoyed. Cheers
thanks for listening and sharing your feedback ! i'm not sure to well understand the meaning of your comment , i translate it in french but it's not pretty good lol
This is a really cool sounding song. I like the vibe a lot, the groove. I got no problems with it except I think there's an opportunity at the end for a bigger and longer build to more of a climax/crescendo, to really put an exclamation point on it. But I'm into that sort of thing. I think your effort has been worth it - great sound.
Thanks man, yeah i think that would be cool but not sure how i would accomplish that and still maintain the same flow and tone of the song. Its possible though, ill play with the idea and see what happens.
