Always an honor when you give a listen. Thank you! I am rarely on the loop any more. Mostly reverb. It seems with the new vid ads on here it isn't as compatible with firefox and causes crashes and freezes. I still like to stop by with an upload on occasion. Safe travels and may your muse inspire you :)
Thank you. Really glad to know your still here. I'm off and on. Spend more time on Reverb nowadays. Still love this site so I upload now and again. Life gets in the way a lot but I guess I could have worse problems. I see you've got a ton of new stuff I gotta get over to listen to. This piece is done but I'll be back very soon.
Some really cool synth sounds and rhythms here. Nice work! From listening a couple times over I'd dip the bass EQ in the frequencies that your lead/synth instruments are producing and vice-versa. Basically, this allows a space in the frequency spectrum for each sound you to be heard.. I think that'll give some more clarity in the low-end of the mix. Cool track dude.
Hey man sorry for the late response. I only get a once a week visit online. Thanks for the tip and will definitely try that. I really appreciate and input on any of my stuff. Thanks again for taking the time.
Great ride man. Put on my headphones, pressed play and let the music slip me away. I could hear all kinds of David Gilmour style guitar throughout with some vocals. Good track. Fav'd. Mark.
email me if interested in me adding some riffs and/or vox.
Thanks Mark! Sorry for the delay in responding. Don't get online that much now. Once I get internet again I'll definitely hit you up on some collabs stuff. I love your playing and thing I have some stuff you could make shine. Including this one. Hoping sooner then later but we'll see.
Well this is pretty laid back. I like the swirling pads and atmospheres. It's kind of 80's retro sounding but we like a bit of nostalgia. Good arrangement. FR
My apologizes FR for missing this comment. I appreciate you taking the time to give input. Yep retro is what I do I guess. I keep thinking I just sound different and so its lumped in with retro but ... nope,in the end I am a lover of those new age days combined with the progressive rock days and I can't escape it lol. Thanks man!!
Really good... really cinematc/theatrical. The title describes it all, really. The drums around the 1:30 mark are nice- they remind me of dubstep! (But that's just probably me.)
I must apologize to you also RPS for missing this comment. Thank you for giving this a listen AND commenting. Hummm dubstep...interesting. Not real familiar with the beats used in dub. I'll have to give a listen to that genre. Thanks Shivam!!
Danke my friend thank you and thank you again. You made my day! So you know I have lengthened it a tad and changed the piano note structure a tad. Didn't notice the missing notes until yesterday. So its definitely done now. Thanks again for such awesome words! :)
my friend it's thoughtfull & gentle . Taciturn ( haha what a explanation but really) & respectful & tender & deep,as U are yourself too ..I found it sou audible & still I'm a fan of next version with your spoken word ,too. all the best wishes for 2014 my friend.____Behnam
Sorry Behnam not on the internet much anymore. I upload using my phone with wifi and have to wait to get to a computer with access to respond. Thank you for the kind words. I really like this one too. Will let you know when I add anything to this. I hope to be back soon.
Thank you Danke!! HNY to you too. Hope your Christmas was good also. Not much access to the internet as of late hence my late reply. I use my phone to upload songs when I find wireless but very hard to negotiate the site with my little phone lol.
I'm not so keen on phased strings but keep them if you are.
I like the lead part that comes in 0:48. Might be a VST guitar.
Good bass stuff. Sounds like double bass, maybe some cello in there too.
There are some quite effective triplets in this piece eg from that lead guitar type of instrument.
Slow introduction of the drums works quite well.
Maybe it's slightly too samey but it does sit nicely and there's good movement going on so it's certainly not boring. Probably just the right amount of activity for soundtrack music that you don't want to interfere with dialogue.
Overall, I think this could be improved with some higher quality instruments but I appreciate that you're using what you've got. However, I have updated pieces of music by replacing older parts with better synth/sample-based instruments that I have bought/acquired since starting the piece.
I hope you didn't miss the recent Black Friday weekend crazy sales. I bought some great stuff online at 70% off. Got some lovely new sample instruments, including harps, sitar, guitar, koto and many more. Now I can update older sitar parts with the much better samples I now have.
I definitely agree with the quality. I missed those good sales since my one job lays me off this time of year and Christmas coming I couldn't really buy anything. I am still working on trying to add enough of a mix in these pieces to make it interesting enough. Its harder with these slower moving cinematic pieces without disrupting its intention and not making them too long. Good ear on the double bass and cello. The lead is a guitar vst and yes I can't wait to be able to update these pieces. I have a lot of work that needs updating. As I learn I have to go back over them all and I think that needs fixing that needs fixing. Its never ending lol. Thanks for the ear and the comment Static!
Thank you very much e. It is still coming into focus. I have removed the violins and am calming that section for a more redemptive feeling as the soul returns. I really appreciate the comment and the fav!
The Strings sound phased, reminds me a bit of ultravox. With just a sprinkling of Tangerine Dream thrown in (Legend, movie soundrack) I like when the drums come in, really focuses the melody in this, Nicely done. Steve
Thanks for the comment Steve!! I'll have to give that soundtrack a listen again. I am glad I'm not the only one on here that has listened to tangerine dream. Some of the best early 80's soundtracks ever lol. I'll have to look up ultavox. I've heard of them but not familiar with their music. I am from the early 80's new age movement and one of my favs was night noise. I do love a phased string sound. Thanks again
Very good intro .... then with a feeling of helplessness, of disarray .... and sadness. You seem to bring it here, maybe an experience. This is at least what I feel listening .... Hopefully this is just my imagination.
You kind of nailed it. My emotions came through in this piece and for that I am happy. I hope it didnt bring you into it too much lol. Thank you very much for sharing what this emotions this brought oit.
Thanks danke. I appreciate your continued comments. Iv updated this to include an outo of sorts. I am currently without internet and have limited ability to listen but soon I will be back to return the love. Thank you
