    Hello,



    This is my latest track, which I've done scratching time here and there, and using plugs from around.
    Im conscious of some of its deficiencies but I guess there are more to be spotted.

    If you feel that the thing is worth the comment, please, I would be very happy to learn from your opinion.


    Thanks in advance.

    Hi, maybe I've no conception of this genre but I'm missing an intro, clearly separated parts, build ups and a 'low down' aka break part.
    It's difficult to get which sounds are lead, which background and I think the bass sound doesn't fit too well.
    But I like the synth sounds and the fx and appreciate the work you put in this track.

    What No Avenger said and, I don't like the noise snare sound, and it's too busy too often, but that's just my personal taste.
    You should continue refining this track, I can imagine it as a soundtrack for a movie like Hitman for example, it's got that modern spy feel happening, I like it :)

    No Avenger, thanks for taking the time to really deconstruct and shred the track. After reading your opinion, I have the impression that the only thing to be rescued is the plugs themselves and their presets. Fair enough since those are industry compliant.



    When you mention the genre, it’s fair to say that I don’t tend to think of genres because I don’t have special knowledge of any nor I studied their structural definition or timbre demands. I consider myself a purely bedroom hobbyist who enjoys music, software and production. My results are experiments which don’t have a clear relation with standards, because the entire thing it’s a free creative ride, one not precisely striving to become gold. If I were asked what motivates my work, I would answer that my music is a reaction to the heavy load of entertainment one has been exposed, most of times unwillingly. For me the real motivation to make music is the discharge of all the impulses one has been accumulated for years. That happens like the last reflex of a dead body when life no longer benefits or organizes the movement. I see my music as zombie music, computer loop music that engages my attention for hours while recreates fragments of stuff in a timeline. This is sound by artefactual memory not by intentional execution. Even all the above, I think I’m better than if I were doing automatic writing.



    Regarding your point of the lack of intro, well I admit that I skipped the intro because I didn’t see any benefit to acquaint the potential listener with the kick &bass and bring together the “the shy” members of the family to the place I was making. I understand that when you mention the lack of structure, you refer that the track fails to drive your attention to its different stages. I think the track presents differentiated parts, perhaps not fully developed regarding the build-up tension logic, further all of this is definitely not articulated following the universal recipe for attention driving in modern popular music.

    On the other hand, I think that the request for more differentiation btw timbers is a really constructive point.



    Although since I’m easy to impress by opinions, I surely will take all your opinions and I’ll try to introduce these suggestions to the track. I only can advance that this only will force things to directions that will make the piece even more unpalatable. I know myself, for me amending is synonym of deformation, things just get a suffocated mess.



    Thanks for you time and feedback.

    It's a real pity that computer music making is not becoming a day for:
    Music making = no shower days = no amazon wandering = no news consumption = no downloads = no plants watering.

    I didn't want to drag you down or say the track is crap. :no:

    You played some wicked stuff, the track just lacks structure.

    And I don't think amending equals deformation. During the composition, arranging and mixing process amending is completely normal.

    And this
    sounds familiar to me.

    Nice track! :like: I enjoyed it... My 2pence about the mix - it needs the kick to be more defined for its genre... and maybe cut down that resonant synth lead a little bit...

    Great job!

    Thanks all for pointing out the stuff I should tackle in the next stage of this project. Certainly I ll try to come out with something modified, and hopefully decent.

    Well I glad to see that we can understand each other regarding creative needs!


    Thanks a lot for your positive remarks, this will encourage me to keep listening to the sound :)

    cool, i love it! identifying the sounds is not always easy, perhaps kick & bass more united, snare is very rebel :)...but i love....
    perhaps re-work armature, great synths sounds, love it.
    Thank you for share.
