lyst Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 New project, new moniker. I have a physical EP on a label in the works of being released but in the wait time I started something completely different. https://soundcloud.com/zeign/mylamine-compost-early-version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Friendly Foil Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 This is very pretty. Especially that main synth and pad in the background. Lots of reverb too! (which is always good) Needs more toot-toot though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qatarsis Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 i like the use of that percussive sample from the beginning, the humming is also a cool idea in this context. i'd like the melodie to develop a little bit more, but thats just my humble opinionreally enjoyed your track, thanks for sharing man :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZoeB Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 This is a very interesting combination of sounds, and nice music too... I think it could do with being a bit more quantised, or a tighter performance, without getting into rigidly sequenced territory. You also seem to pull out all the stops upfront rather than letting them slowly build up, or replacing any parts with others later on. It's a beautiful snapshot, but there's no motion, it doesn't take you anywhere. I'd try either coming up with an alternative section and switching back and forth between them, verse/chorus style, or at least holding back on what you introduce at the beginning, so it progresses as you add layers, something like that.

lyst Posted February 10, 2013 Author Share Posted February 10, 2013 Thanks for the insights. Yea much has to be done with this track, and most of what was said is right. Just a beginning :). As far as the quantizing goes though, I'll do a little bit, especially if it's just straight up wrong and needs it, but too much takes away from what i'm going for. I prefer imperfection oddly enough. Was drunk last night and this song would have never been uploaded if not. DAMNIT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZoeB Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Oh, I totally agree it shouldn't be completely mechanical, that's obviously not the vibe you're going for. There's a middle balance somewhere that's worth exploring though, I think. When I try to add a human element to some of my tracks (say, playing violin samples), I play them by hand and then manually drag the particularly out notes closer to where they should be, a manual semi-quantisation. Maybe something like that might work well? Unless you're playing acoustic instruments, in which case it's harder to cheat like I do... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lyst Posted February 10, 2013 Author Share Posted February 10, 2013 Agreed. Very unfurnished taste of this project. And that was it's purpose, just a taste Btw, no samples were used in the making of this track.
