machinemask Posted June 7, 2016 Author Share Posted June 7, 2016 I love the second half of this so much I put it on a mixtape for a SO. oh damn, that's great to hear.

cruising for burgers Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 yes i really love these melodies! you're gonna put some more work on those beats right? i don't mean composition wise, i mean, eq and mixing and beefing it up and whatnot... it's the only weakness i can point at...

Claudius t Ansuulim Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Yeah that second part is luscious! Loved the hanging synths and the background ambiance especially! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machinemask Posted June 8, 2016 Author Share Posted June 8, 2016 Lovely thanks :) yes i really love these melodies! you're gonna put some more work on those beats right? i don't mean composition wise, i mean, eq and mixing and beefing it up and whatnot... it's the only weakness i can point at... yeah the beats are a lil weak mix wise, in fact yeah i think most of the tune is a bit low and stuff. i will get around to revamping it some, plus the 3rd section of the tune haha. thanks for nice words :) Yeah that second part is luscious! Loved the hanging synths and the background ambiance especially! cool, i'm really glad you enjoyed it :3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machinemask Posted June 8, 2016 Author Share Posted June 8, 2016 thinking about it: the mix on a lot of my stuff lately has been a lil off, but i believe the android earbuds are the culprit. haven't had decent headphones in about 7 months til i found some in the attic recently LOL someone is storing an asinine amount of records and some dj equipment in my place, had a pair of sony mdr-v700s so i grabbed em hehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZoeB Posted June 9, 2016 Share Posted June 9, 2016 Very nice! The pads are a little quiet, I can barely hear them... And the clunky detuned piano thing's a bit discordant, but I'm guessing that's the point... Very Tuss/Monolith/etc. Is that an 808 cowbell rush at 2:59 like in Antique Toy? :D I think my only real criticism is that whatever tiny genre The Tuss and Dave Monolith are in, there's far too many fans here making music that sounds pretty much the same. Put more of your own unique spin on it! "Do something new. Put a glowing thing around your neck or use... rubberized... Be new." You're good at your craft. Have the confidence to push yourself further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have the confidence to push yourself further. yeah it is a shame though, all of the tuss/monolith sound-alikes...to be fair i have not listened to either in a long time as i tend to stray from those particular clumps of artists due to the obsessive copycatting i have heard which sadly turned me off from following some of their latest efforts (i never saw the point as a musician in emulating like 3 artists etc. it seems redundant - i could rant, hehe). i guess it is difficult to break from my roots, though! can't deny them, for sure. but will keep trying to push whatever i have to get out :) anywho glad you enjoyed it :) and thanks for the feedback! i needed something like that :3 PS / / / it is a kind of cowbell rush there haha, forget which sample though, i think a an old korg machine perhaps....

mushroom Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 I really enjoyed this. the only criticism I can offer really is maybe lose the vocal parts... I just feel like it detracts more than it adds, but that's all I really have negative to say about it, it's a very pleasant tune overall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

th555 Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 Chill track, some really nice acid lines in there. Also the split in two halves so to say works very well IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also the split in two halves so to say works very well IMO. thanks :) yeah there is actually a middle section between the split halves that was really weird after i listened back. it changed to major key // happy feel, then right back into the moody end part, so idk if i will keep it in the end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cooliofranco Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 second half is excellent but YO! the first half is great too. i love that squigly bass guy and wish he played a bigger role in the second half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nobody Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 i like the two-part structure. i disagree with zoeb that you lack confidence or whatever the fuck she was talking about. this song is sick. also, i like the lofi version. i am very interested in hearing the polished version, too, but i am a sucker for lofi shit. also, i really liked the vocals. nice work.
