Doing stuff with my new pc. It's harder staying consistent since the birth of my son, but I wanted to pop up. Made in Fl Studio 21 with Kontakt, Arcade and a litany of other plugins that may or may not have done anything at all.


I wanted a slow cinematic build constructed with some of my favorite 7s with an underlying sense if urgency. The tape stops symbolize the times I tore myself down and rebuilt with what I had.


I plan on using this as an intro for a bigger project and will be writing some of the most honest and intricate bars I can to it. Stay tuned. 🐙


EDIT: Slapped Ozone 9 on it and tweaked the patterns so it'll be fit to be my NGADM submission for 2023.

I like the smooth atmosphere at the beginning. The piano sounds a bit harsh in the mix, though - I might suggest using an equalizer to knock down some of the treble-range tones down a peg. The pad slides at :19 and :37 are really cool, and I love the relaxed mood and the rhythmic syncopations in the percussion. The production quality is solid, although the piano and other harmonic instruments could’ve had a tad more room to breathe after the bass comes in at :59. The harmonic content here is very repetitive, though, and at some point I would’ve liked to see you vary the main riffs of the piece or otherwise give the piece a stronger sense of progression. Still, the haunting mood and airy sound design are really nice here. Keep at it, Rilo15! ^_^

Thank you! I'll take this and improve. Be on the lookout for me next year!

Excellent atmosphere! I love this

so sick. such atmospheric samples mixed with punchy percussion meshes incredibly well. also love that subtle blip on beats 1 and 4 bcuz it ties the more light samples and heavy drums together really nicely

Good work!

Sounds like something Fat Jon would do, minus the swing he typically puts on his drums.

ggsevv responds:

Thanks frfr. That means alot because I really fw bro's choice in atmospheric samples. Especially on Feel the Void.
