MichaelListon Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 I've been an avid lurker on wattm for a few years now and I've never posted anything of much worth, so here's a track I made at the beginning of the summer. Haven't really gotten much feedback on it so I wouldn't mind some constructive criticism from y'all, thanks!https://soundcloud.com/nowonos/solipcynicist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brisbot Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 Cool textures and sounds! Though, your section from :20-:40 is prehaps a little too out of tune. I personally think detuning like that works well when it's used sparingly, and perhaps when there's a reason for it. The section after that is very nice though. You can tell there's some dissonance sprinkled in, but it's kept very nicely under wraps. Perhaps there's not enough variation in this part for my taste though, or it lasts a little too long. Consider giving more character to the sound through pitch shifting an octave with the flute or something, or changing up the character of the melody, instead of just finding new variations within the melody that's repeated. I hope that makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MichaelListon Posted November 2, 2013 Author Share Posted November 2, 2013 sounds like a mangled boards of canada Yeah, I knew BOC would turn up in a comment. I feel in love with the pads I programmed, then realised the chords are quite similar to EYDIAB. It was unintentional but the urge to put warbled voices in the background was hard to suppress Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gritbox Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 this is great, i especially like the drums. I heard this the other day then woke up with the flutey part stuck in my head Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boog strello Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Yeah man liking this, excellent choice of sounds they blend together nicely and the outro works well. I actually think it would work as a pretty dry track. Maybe try and bounce the mix against the reverb return with some compression see what it sounds like?
