Above and Beyond the Water

[Guest Hermann]

Just finished this piece today, give it a listen if you feel like it :-)

 

 

Constructive criticisms are always welcome, but bare in mind it´s finished and won´t change.

Really nice one. I like how it's progressive and how the differents parts come one after the other. I'll listen to it again on better speakers.

 

 

(oh and by the way I just finished to work on Bilif, check you soundcoud pm later ;)

Loving the melody in second part and pads (are they synthesized?). First three minutes sounds a bit long due to absence of melodic content IMO but sounds very nice, especially metallic percussion sounds, which reminded I Care Because You Do ones.

[Guest Hermann]

Thanks guys :)

 

Those pads, well... No they´re not synthesized per say. Maybe I just shouldn´t tell you and it would keep the mystery of them ;) No but seriously, they were created through a long process of editting and fucking things up as much as possible!

 

I guess I was just having too much fun with those percussions in the first half yeah. But I made the second half significantly long enough I think to balance it out.

i think the intro takes too long. the drums alone don't really catch my attention. but once the pad kicks in that all changes.

really cool song.

Lots of nice details and lots of variation. Goodie!

The cymbal during the first part gets a bit too much but apart from that I don't really have anything to complain about :)

Reminds me of Future Sound Of London, take this as a compliment! I like your snare/clap, somehow it manages to be nicely separated yet belogs into mix with all it's variations. I liked 1:50 the best and 2:50 the weakest until it's combined with 3:30 melody. (though in this song even the weak is rather good ;]) 3:30 lead sound is awesome but the melody itself might be better if simplified just slightly. Steady kick drives song forward nicely and I was not bored. Maybe some hard distortions in percussion might have fitted on some areas of the song to add even more variation.

 

Good track!

I really liked it by the end. Nice percussion & good progression. I echo the ADD complaints that it takes too long to get there. Solid work though!

[Guest Hermann]

Thanks a lot people, I appreciate the feedback! :)
