New ambient(ish) demos from Φ

[chassis]

Two tracks of what is probably going to be my next release. At least under that Φ thing that I do.

Cool chill stuff. What do you use?

Samples and ableton.

 

Glad you enjoyed it. More on the way. I think I prefer nice pads with beats than just bare pads. Doesnt mean there wont be beatless tracks.

Any other feedback would be nice. Positive or otherwise.

I like it. The first track gives me a carefree, underwater vibe while the second has a futuristic/things going by very fast feel to it. Or standing in a pillar of light.

 

Maybe you should cut every drum out but the kick for a little bit during the middle of the second one? Beautiful sound.

Yeah this is nice stuff. I prefer the 2nd tune the way it kinda bubbles away. Not quite radio dome Steve Hillage but I guess is the nearest thing I can think of by comparison. I can't really make ambient music but I must try some day.

I'm a fan of your style.

 

First Track: Soothing, but not in a yanni-way, which isn't soothing at all. I'm complimenting you here if you weren't clear. I like the intro of the organish-pad in the middle. Nice patient build with a cinematic feel. For some reason I wanted a Big drop rather than a smooth fade-in of the drums, but your idea works very well.

Second Track: Dig it. Wanted some other layer. While I realize that ambient music is supposed to be simple, I just was left wanting something more from the second track--but I enjoyed what you had.

Cheers lads.

 

Im always torn between putting beats in ambient tracks or not. And even if I decide to put in beats, should they be minimal tech-y or sort of acoustic flowing drums. I don't know how well I can do the latter one, but sure I might try.
