Title: Starting again
Post by: elv on March 18, 2007, 05:34:53 PM
Hi guys,
Know its been awhile, just havent been making music for all this time.Guess I lost a litle bit interst for awhile.
Here is a small snippet on the song I am working on at the moment.Called Sunday
Seems to be my new directions, chilled ambient ....hehe I´m at so much inner peace  ::)


For those that are interested in my stuff here is a link to another song I did last week called Layers

Love to hear your opinions

Layers : Lovely intro, I like that glazy piano sound. I would have loved that the song gets of a bit earlier after the drum comes in, but it worth waiting , nice bass riff.
Surprising change of rythm around 3, sounds very good and focusses the attention.
Lovely song, you should make more of those :)

Sunday : Good foundation, looking forward to finished version.

Kara

Love the piano-pad transitions, almost like the piano's release morphs into the pad's attack. I think I'm with Kara in that after the drums come in, things need to progress a bit faster, either that or the drum track needs to be presented in parts rather than all together. The drums are a bit loud, don't you think? It would also be tempting for me to take some of the drum sounds now and then and throw some dub-like effect on them to re-enforce the dreamy, trippy quality and to tie them a bit more to the underlying pads.

I know, you said it's a work in progress. Great start!

Thanks for listening and your input.
Yeah the drums are a wee bit loud in Layers, and the dub effect would suit it well

I love the piano chords, not sure if the piano arpeggio down works; the timing is nice but in my view it conflicts a bit with the rhythms. Talking about the rhythms, cool! They have a nice crisp sound and work really well. Nice chord progressions too and the song has nice variation. You have created a nice mix too with a very open sound in which all the elements come through. Very nice!

Hi Elv
many good elements in this track, I like how the instruments comes in, perfect timing... Oh yes it's called intro...
The tension grows and then comes a full force rhythm. Very nice
Keep on

Cheers

Elv,

With regard to the drums coming in earlier-as per Kara's wish,I don't agree with that.
I think the intro is interesting enough with it's length and it set's up the mood of the song beautifully. :)
Ambient & trance songs are generally constructed differently than conventional pop songs anyway-that being said,I think the song is perfect.

Overall,it's a very seductive,relaxing song that put's my mind in the clouds hovering over Iceland. 8)

Thanks Elwood,
Personally I was never happy with this song, hate the organ like sound

I especially like 'Layers' It's going straight into my 'keep' folder!

Incidentally, my player doesn't show any id3 tags for it, and I always like to be able to see at least some composer info - cos I forget easily  ::)

Thanks folderol,
  :-\ I have to fix those tags, I hate that Fl dosent have them, so I always have to edit them in another program....and sometimes I forget

Another great song of yours looking for a movie, possibly a James Bond type movie!

Great piano, pad and bass work.  The drums ain’t to shabby either!

Fantastic ending - MarioD
