Yes, I'm back after a long time no post from me. At the end of this thread you will hear a complete version so please support me with your love.

 

it's déjà vu all over again.

 

I love that catchword when a female says in French accent. BTW, the title tells the whole tale.

 

Can't listen at the moment. Too noisy where I am, but lets hope history has a massive hiccup and shoots out a complete song for a change.

 

A bit more (perhaps only 20% of the whole process) and just a rough mix. This is the revision 2, at 10 it would be completed.
@The Teknomage and also my other friends what do your lovely ears tell about this mix?

 

Your best work to date. Really like the sound of this, and can imagine some lyrics for it. go for a length of about 3:30 to 4 minutes. Don't make it more complex than it is now, just a bit longer and arrange it into a verse, chorus format for lyrics. You're finally getting there, so keep it up.

 

Work on it Foster.Work fast, die young, thats how we roll on audiosex.
Deserves a CS seal of win for your commitment.

 

@The Teknomage your gently making a fuss of me is always beyond measure and out of this world and makes me reach the sky. Thank you!

And about the length, Damn this bloody length (kind of a vicious circle)! It always inexorably leads me into another new project but this time I have sworn solemnly and made a serious promise to myself that I must polish this track off.

Keep it up, foster! It sounds a bit like Wendy Carlos does bell-ringing, except w/ GM piano sound! That's not a bad thing! I think that the drums (snare) need a bit of work (levels / too gated / harsh). Not rly in right critical listening environment atm, so ima prolly totally off =(

 

sounds like you're finally opening some doors to inspiration there

agree the snares could use some polishing or fx, too dry sounding, also like the sort of slap bass sound that comes in later,
way to break things up a bit , keep up the effort, this one has some potential

 

In this version, some new ideas added and some ones removed and will be removed more too for getting rid of confusion. I have not mastered it because I'm in the middle of the process. The only thing I can say is the melodies in it are kind of the finalized ones (of course the sounds probably would be changed). I will add some good-sounding drums to it and also the transition points will be introduced and the balance between the different parts will be improved in a fashion that a logical flow between them would exist. If you have extra opinions about it please let me know. Thank you!

 

Bit I liked the best Foster u took out lol
Personally speaking I really liked the opening Bass riff on 1st track and how it say competing with drums from onset in rhythmical fashion etc. Melodies say in last one cool but without drums etc is bit difficult to say get an overall feel wrt contrast and build up or direction .
Maybe a total break as in a mutating sort of arp pattern that drifts spatially at double up tempo over top or something similar be a cool variation but gotta be you're way of course
Some nice ideas in the tracks for sure

 

are you following a random type of process regarding how you write?

something that could be a lot of help is getting real good with melody and harmony from music theory your second version had some good stuff in there like that

here is amazing inspiration regarding melody and harmony that might be helpful

so listen for the melody and harmony aspect the actual sound of the instruments is not important for the inspiration but the note values , intervals and relationships

 

Liked the first one better. All it needed was to be re-arranged a bit and a bridge. You need to lean the concept " It's good enough already!" and stop changing to many things.

 

Thank you for listening. I'm a big fan of poly-rhythmic bassy sounds too. It really changes the atmosphere of the entire track in an emotionally appealing way more than anything else.

Me too. Saturday we were at each other’s throats about making catchy hooks and there I told people that I don't love pop-sounded melodies. It's a bit difficult to say what kind of melodies I like but if you've noticed they're not popy and also not dark as @The Teknomage uses.

Not fully random but semi-random. In electronic with no specific genre in mind, there's no specific paradigm and process in it too and what sounds good is being selected. BTW for the jazz you posted, unfortunately I'm not a jazz junkie because it is like a barrage balloon that makes you feel like floating in air without any specific aim.

By history I did not mean Bach's era. As you know the first track's melody is for flowing sense of classical taste in the track. I mean it was more instrumental and less electro. Do you have the same attitude about that?

 

I know, that's why I said what I said in my first reply.

As I said I could imagine lyrics for it, so I will make you a deal. If you go back to that version and re-arrange it. So, Intro, verse, Chorus, Breakdown/bridge, Verse, Chorus, Outro. I will write the lyrics for it for you. What do you say?

 

It's f'ing awesome the way you guys help each other out here on AS! HUGE thumbs up to you, @The Teknomage!

 

My friend, you just issue an imperial supreme command and who am I not to follow it. They're like the ten commandments for me. OK deal accepted honorably but what would happen if you'd confront with any insubordination from me when I flout the laws as a sinner (a freeform freak).

 

Just get the track finished as close to that format as you can, I'll write the lyrics to fit the track.
