Ceqn Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Hello! Here is a new track I've been working on for a couple of days. I have to admit that the second half of the piece is a little... lazy. It could use way more detail in terms of parameter changes, but I kind of like the way it's going. Any suggestions and criticisms are loved. http://soundcloud.com/ceqn/pol-yqs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke viia Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 i liked it. the song sounds clean - like, clinically clean...it might sound nice with a bit of dirt in the cracks (just a personal preference thing really). i like the part that comes in @ 1:50, nice and dreamy... the beat seems unsure of itself from about 1:50 to 2:20 though, as if it should be doing something else, or like a live drummer that hasn't quite spotted where the groove is... you're right about the 2nd half of the track, the focus kinda goes away... could make for an interesting prolonged-fall-apart ending though if you roll with it! what's the song actually about?

Ceqn Posted July 25, 2011 Author Share Posted July 25, 2011 Thank you for the critique! I took heed to what you said and have been adding more depth and (not TOO dirty) details to the track. I should have a second version up sometime soon with a better second half. I started this piece without a story in mind. Mostly I was just sound designing to practice and it dawned on me that the synths were my first sounds I was proud of. It was a new beginning for me, kind of like a fresh polyp in the sea. Keep the critiques coming! Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest yanG Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 Not fond of the drum sounds, especially the "snare" which i find too noisy and not percussive enough. I agree with the comments above, the focus gets lost in the end although the kalimbaish sounds are beautiful. So are the background glitches.

Ceqn Posted July 26, 2011 Author Share Posted July 26, 2011 http://soundcloud.com/ceqn/pol-yqsii New version! Enjoy. Critiques are always welcome! * In retrospect, I don't like how the sub bass ducks the tracks. x_x Looks like a fix for the next version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
