ganus Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 Hi all,I've been working on this track for the last 3 months or so. It's the last track for my album, which I'm looking for a label for. The theme of the album is life changes, and this song is sort of the cumulation of that, with me becoming a parent at the end of 2015 and coming out as genderfluid female this year (more on that later..) Hope you like it! Feel free to give constructive criticism. blerp. https://soundcloud.com/kotekan/transition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flacid Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Very chilled and fits nicely with your other work. The 2nd half reminded me a bit of Animal Collective/experimental pop. Great track! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ganus Posted February 4, 2017 Author Share Posted February 4, 2017 Here's a happy track I made for my sister's birthday. inspired by mu-ziq and pilotredsun https://soundcloud.com/kotekan/allswell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lada Laika Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Really pretty tracks. Love the slight chiptune vibe to it. Your melodies are A++. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ganus Posted February 5, 2017 Author Share Posted February 5, 2017 Thanks very much! I use a lot of samples sourced from SNES, N64, Atari ST stuff for my instruments. I think I spend most of my time on melodies, so I really appreciate that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hardwired Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 Both are really good tunes, I mush preferred Allswell, that tunes feels a lot more "together", to say all the parts of the track fit really nicely together even though there big changes there. I don't fell the same about Transition, I kinda get the feeling it on purpose, and if it is, that's awesome. The into,outro and this section 1.37-2.33 are awesome, really really awesome actually. The juxtaposition with the other parts puts me right off though. I actually listened a few times, but skipped to 1.37 after the into. I'd love to know if this was on purpose though? If you don't mind the question! P.S Your other tunes on soundcloud are really cool too, put a few likes on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ganus Posted February 9, 2017 Author Share Posted February 9, 2017 I appreciate the feedback! I definitely struggle with cohesiveness. I like to think I am improving at that, but most of my tracks have some issues with the transitions from one part to another... I want to keep reinventing my tracks the whole time I am writing them, and not everything I try works. I'll experiment with Transition a bit more. I agree that at the very least, 0:26 to 1:37 has some rough bits, and some stuff that is not so catchy. Thanks Here's another track, this one is older https://soundcloud.com/kotekan/02-kotekan-fight-or-flight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tune starts with a piano and ends in break beats. Apart from being a fantastic tune, the changes are fantastical done. I barely noticed the first time until the track ended!

Feel free to give constructive criticism. blerp. https://soundcloud.com/kotekan/transition I wish I saw this track before, the subtle changes in melodic and structural content make it sound like a journey even without an explanation. Absolutely fantastic work, I can't wait for the album. EDIT: Great work on all the tracks you posted up here as well, they keep a strong atmosphere while also having a catchy but complex and interesting evolving melody, especially Fight or Flight. Your work has some serious potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
