"it's about time you submitted a new track"

by: Suspended-3rd-Chord

damn, you've already got 21 reviews

anyway, glad to see you submitted another track, its been some time.

well, this track is pretty good as expected, well thought out and continuously variated. Lots of chopped up bits and interesting drum parts. sounds like these type of tracks would take a great deal of time to work with. My only qualm with this one, the drums are *too* variated, I think the breaks IMO were overdone, and the volume fades and drum absence were too much- to me its like one long intro, I would've definetly liked to here a more continually moving beat with more stability. but really its all in taste, IMO its much, much, much better than 4/4 kick trance beats. styles like this are always appreciated.

anyway, I enjoyed the piano chords, a nice progression that works with the beat. sound is very genuine and dark too. it's minimalistic but changes up quite some bit, and then you fill in the silence with some nice connecting licks. although it might ruin the feel of this track, I would suggest adding just one or two more instruments in here, maybe some light synths or strings to play extended notes in the background, while there's a more upfront lead melody. I do love how it ends so empty though.

and back to the drums, I still enjoy them very much for what they're worth. I love the bouncing snare rhythms, sounds like you threw one in a room with rubber walls and the sounds bouncing all over the place. the reverse bits are good too, some Dnb patterns in parts are a nice fit, in parts it kinda sounds like you got two drumkits playing at once, or maybe just two snares, but its cool how neither one takes away too much from the other.

so all in all, very diverse interesting track. Not my personal favorite from you, but it was a pleasure to listen to anyway. Great quality sound, submit more man! (i also probably went overboard with criticism in this track :/)

"snaresnaresnare"

by: Erkie

date: March 7, 2008

Straightforward, clear, well developed, thought out and executed.

Honestly, I'm more for structurally sound and morphed beats, but that's only through personal preference and constant experimentation. The whole "map a snare and change its pitch and properties" a la Venetian Snares/Hvartski/what have you seems rather... easy? Although I can condone it to accentuate frustration in any song, and the extent and sweat one uses to butcher a beat, then reanimate it into something else is admirable.

But beat making in this particular situation is quite pleasant against the piano, I can also tell you crumbled some filtered beats in for a nice boom.

The piano itself tries to elaborate on itself, or the atmosphere, but it seems rather independent to what's going on at times.

nice work
