Hello again,
Hmmm. Akin to illogic, you make a track with the intent to convey a statement and illicit a thoughtful response. Time to get to it, then...
PROS:
- The general feel of the track is quite neat. The absolute disparity in quality and sampling between the sounds and quotes make for an interesting mish-mash that is pleasant and seamlessly transitioned from/to.
- The sudden conclusion at 3:50 onwards is splendid. It is slightly louder than the sample at the moment, but I believe it is expertly executed. Quite unexpected and refreshing. You told a story in this song and the ending was marvellous.
CONS:
- It's really a series of smaller niggles and quirks that bothered me. There is nothing tremendously detrimental in this track.
- The subdued violin feels like it is not counterbalanced by another element in the track. it feels like it is meant to be an accent but it does not seem to be the case.This makes for a slightly awkward experience for the listener, only up until 3:50 or so.
- There is an exceedingly echoed presence with some of the sounds and instruments. I feel that I get what sort of atmosphere you were going for but I am not quite convinced that this sort of seemingly 'ethereal' sound ill suits a track with very little variation. Aside for two sections where there are quotes and the bit at 3:50, it feels like the track is an oddly haunting loop because of this.
Keep at it,
-CO
