Melodic acid track in a mildly braindance style

[crx091081gb]

New tune, has some nice pads. Hope you enjoy.

not doing too much for me really. the style isn't something i much go for generally though...it's not bad, just feels a little directionless for the most part. the odd bass melody that comes in 1/3 of the way through is the most interesting part to my ears.

[Guest isaki]

nice pads indeed! dig it

[Guest Hermann]

I´m really liking the odd melodies and harmonies. The bass kick drum really compliments the track but in my opinion the rest of the percussion sounds drag it down a lot, just feels way to basic and monotonous. Spice up the percussion sounds and maybe add one more contradicting melody to make it perfect. Liking where it´s going!

[747Music]

Interesting sounds. Your track just takes off and is quite wonderful right around 3:00 with that dreamy arpegiated synth bell sounding thing. Then it whisps off into that out of tune, but still in tune, synth, which is nice as well. Good work.

[Bitraete]

Oooh! I like it! <3

[crx091081gb]

Cheers for the feedback guys, will probably faff about with it a bit more before squeezing it out.

Listen on Soundcloud.com

Not bad, not bad at all! Reminds me of early Orbital (and that's a good thing as Orbital is one of my favourite electronic bands). There's a part at the 3 minute mark that is similar to a track on Squarpushers Hello Everything album (I think the track was Theme from sprite).

 

Anyway, great job.

Some right Squarepusher vibes. You just need to add a random part where breaks start and then it will be like Tundra.

[hokum]

it's nice as it stands with the rimshot percussions and other 606/909 ishness.... For some reason i feel some unpredictable semiprominent yet prime open and closed hat work will tie it up. that one more layer will help me get into a state of imagination a bit more involuntarily. nice work

[Guest Woosey]

great track, indeed nice pads especially at the 3.00 mark! :)

Love Squarepusher's track Tundra. One of his absolute best tracks tho is Tundra 4. A masterpiece.

[crx091081gb]

yeh if you clocked up the number of hours I've spent listening to Tundra 4. Well you'd have a lot of hours. Tried sticking a break on this, couldn't make it work, just felt glued on top. I don't think I could approach that level of awesomeness any time this century.

 

Will most likely dick about with the hi-hats as that's a really good idea. Plus I'm kind of liking Roland purity in my drum programming atm, I've had the same R8M for 15 years that I have to thump every day before it switches on but we kind of have an understanding.

[AnalogueCreamPie]

Nice acid lines! :)

 

Is that a real 303 or software emulator?

[crx091081gb]

It's a homemade x0xb0x with the x0xi0 front and back panel mods, she's my pride and joy. I've got D16 phoscyon which I use when I'm dicking about away from the studio but I generally end up rewriting the lines on the x0xb0x.

[Goiter Sanchez]

Nice chord progression and synth voices. I'd like to hear the percussion hit harder as has already been said.

[Friendly Foil]

I second the Squarepusher vibe comment(s). Very Hello Everything-ish.

 

Good track

Yeah, I feel like programming your drums is more authentic, but a lot of times I can't get the right sound trying to program break beats. I think I just need to get better at shifting the pitch and velocity or something. It is equally as difficult to me to cut up a break sample and arrange it with the same amount of detail as I you can program drums on a machine though. Definitely shouldn't force it. I usually run the break through some effects and eq it until it sits nicely into the mix.

[crx091081gb]

I used to really enjoy a bit of junglism, just haven't kept it up and crucially never really learnt to layer it effectively with my Roland programming. It'll come in time.

[White Rainbow]

Really nice production. Sometimes bassline sounds odd to me as if it had not well tuned to the rest of the melody...

 

Good job anyway.

[MadameChaos]

Really like this, great track. Some of the timing is slightly out, but nothing too difficult to fix.

[cruising for burgers]

this song really reminds me of a tim exile song, which is a good thing, keep up, lovely dark harmonies!

New tune. This one has one nice pad and a lead sound that reminds me of a cat. I thought I'd post it in the same thread because that seems to be the done thing.

[jlobkob]

you are one acid warrior, dude!

really enjoying these two tracks, first one has kind of an EOD vibe to it, second one reminds a bit of david gilmour playing guitar...
