I enjoyed this quite a bit, a good minimalist track is hard to come by these days it seems.

AliceMako responds:

Glad you like.

It's kinda like if Richard D. James and Combichrist had a depressed, obese baby. I like it, but try to see what you can do with it based on bwmusic and limonpower's advice. Or don't.

Reminds me a bit of the stuff I make when I'm experimenting.

AliceMako responds:

Well that's two votes for combichrist then, there's this one track by them "this shit will fuck you up" which i find amusing but i honestly don't care for them otherwise :3

Everyone's entitled to their opinion and i allways appreciate people sharing theirs with me, i don't agree in this case though as i like this exactly the way it is or i wouldn't have posted it.

If you are ever happy with something you did while experimenting there's actually a portal labelled as experimental you can post in, give it a try sometime.

Reminds me a bit more of earlier Combichrist B sides (Like off Everyone Hates You) - minimal dark/atmos techno/aggrotech. Or maybe an early cut from The Joy of Gunz (more powernoise)

Personally I don't know why you killed you bass drum with that LPF (or if thats the sample). By having it so muffled, there's virtually no attack from it, just a bass wash. EQ the low end too with the kick and bass, they are competing for the same space but making it bottom heavy and muddy.

The hi hats to me are way too quiet too, also, not sure why they're panned in stereo width. Its common to have em pushed to one side or the other by about a couple hours (+/- 30-40 in the left or right), but often in techno they're pretty center (but then become over bearing and you really create an I or W mix often)

Agreed with the other poster; a little variety would be nice. Melody or even just pads that wash in. This is a very lower frequency friendly track, but there really isn't anything higher frequency, and it would benefit a lot from it.

AliceMako responds:

A bandpass filter actually, it's a note on a synth, i don't want there to be any attack cus it's not actually a bassdrum nor a sample of a bassdrum.

Why? I like how this sounds in this piece.

There are no hi hats in this track and it isn't techno, you're handing me a technical critique to another artistic/styllistic choice i happen to make, what does you not knowing why have to do with me?

Feel free to add any and all high frequencies you like yourself, thanks for listening and asking questions.

I really like your instruments/samples and the composition; however, there needs to be a little more going on in some areas to keep people's attention.

AliceMako responds:

Thanks for listening.
