Somewhat of a rough mix preview.

Time to do something experimental again.

I hope you guys can enjoy the genre, it is a mix of:
Some Glitch/IDM, Ambient, Jazz and a slight bit of Euphoric Rock.

I sure had a lot of fun making this song.
I might add some góód vocals, by someone who can actually sing
in the middle part with the 2 vocal clips.

The instrumentation is about done, mix is also pretty close to done.
I míght update it, but the changes will be minor, if i don't get a vocalist.

Enjoy!

"Great beat"

by: JKMonkey

date: May 16, 2009

Awesome job here man, really liked it. Though the part that I liked the most would have to be the beat, very strong, yet soft and smooth, which sounded very out-of-the-box and creative, nice work with that. The melody was good as well, very ear pleasing and almost toe-tapping, nice job with that. The percussion was another thing that I liked about this song, it sounded great when played inside the melody, good job with that. Excellent job here man, 5/5 from me, be sure to pm me when you put some new stuff out! :)

"Great!"

Really nice buildup from the beginning right through to about 1:20. The sounds you used were pretty nice as well, those jazz drums have an awesome sound. Sounded quite creepy-ish to start, but then got more laid back when it changed at 1:20. But I have to agree with wyldfyre that the vocals do sort of take away from the effect of the rest of the song. Great otherwise, though. Keep it up.

"Weird but nice"

by: svinepels

Strange but very calming. The jazz percussion was awesome, and good climax at the end with the choir! In my opinion, the melody loses a bit of its power towards the second half of the song, so some more variety would have prevented that. But overall a good song, better than many of the others good songs I've heard from you!

Thanks a lot for such a nice review, i think i might add some lead synths in the 2nd part... It's too empty compared to the fullness of the rest of the song i guess.

"beautiful yet spooky."

by: wyldfyre1

Almost like something you'd hear in a horror survival game. It starts out with a drum beat that you'd hear from a jazz song of some sorts and it continues on into this dark ambience. It truely works. I can't say i like the vocals and i think thats the only thing that bothers me. It kinda takes away from the song as you listen. Not saying they sound BAD they just kinda take away from the tune as you listen. Anyway over all its a pretty decent song and one i'd listen to again! Keep it up!
