This project was completed within the two weeks (plus two day extension) allocated.


No samples other than precussive were used.


The "V10" car sound is not a sample but a drum sample that has been sped up and arranged to emulate the sound of the engine's firing order so essentially unrecognizable in comparison to the original sample, and being it's entirely created from scratch rather than sampled also explains why it sounds like utter shite.


The only VST used was for the "reverberated to the max" Electric Piano.


And that is all I have to say; this will also probably be my last (Or second to third last song depending if I move up in the comp but VERY likely not) as I am giving up on the music to focus 100% on my art (It's a one or the other situation...)
But I may dabble in it occasionally in the future.


And to add; this will be the final song to be a part of Element (my album), I can'r do too much else for the project and will have to leave it at that. Thank you.

Fun idea with the homegrown car sound effects. I’m not sure it was quite worth a 30-second solo in the texture, but I like the atmosphere at :26 and the dissonance in the chords. The tambourine on the off beats is a tad too prominent in the mix, and the mix as a whole is very quiet. It sounds like there’s some more melodic content in the texture at a higher register, but it gets very lost beneath the minimal pads and drums. I think the mixing here needs a lot of polishing to bring out the different elements of the sound design. It would be cool if the presence of each instrument in the mix was oscillating a bit more, because otherwise there’s not much structural variety to keep me engaged. Overall, the instrumentation, atmosphere, mood, and rhythmic content are really good, but I think you need to flesh out the arrangement more and solidify the compositional details. At the end of the day, the piece doesn’t feel complete, unfortunately. Still, I’d encourage you to keep working on this one. It has a smooth, mellow vibe that seems perfect for a hot summer day. :) Keep at it, G4CEsz-Official!

It sounds unique and original, I really like it. :0 I listen to this track and I just think that there are so many people and we are all different ... These thoughts break my understanding of the world, try, I really like it. :3
