hey i believe i owe you a review...or two...or something
great ideas here man, innovative percussion elements in here for sure. This piece has a very sweet minimalist build, but under the assumption that this is still a WIP, you may or may not build upon this track more in the future yes? I think this song is deserving of your REESE BASS MADNESS after the filtered out ending. and include more IDM manipulation, didnt here a whole lot of glitch FX as I was personally hoping for later on.
+Creepy shit here man. Again, the minimalism and emptiness works to this songs favor in letting the sounds sift into the ominous reverbery background.
+Interesting selection of samples. Especially love the 1:16 sound. What planet did you record that fella from. Shakers were a cool instrument to throw in here, wasnt expecting that at all in light of the other experimental samples.
+Very good piano melodies, also love the sound. Is this a reason piano?
+Great work with the rhythms, Quarl. It's always nice to hear how you deviate from the traditional dnb patterns and create experimental, oddly refreshingly beats
+Kick and snare sound really crisp and punchy, good layering 'n shit. Also like how they contrast well with the reverbed ambient sounds that you start with.
-the white noise/feedback sound that plays consistently throughout the became distracting. I'd personally use it less or mess with automating its properties to vary up the sound a little more you know?
later dude!

Author's Response:
The noise from 1:16 was actually a really common cell phone ring tone under heavy reverb/pitch bend. The shakers were actually a bottle of advil. The piano is in fact from reason and so are the drums. Just one thing I'm curious about, please send a pm letting me know, but what's the white noise? Is that the cell phone ring tone?
