E:mortal - Fallen Angel



Here's the first mix of a experimental track I'm working on. It's a "dark" trance track with psy and orchestra influences.

Here's the link: http://www.emortal.se/music/Emortal..._Angel_new2.mp3

Let me know what you think of it so far

Really nice to hear something a bit different.

Bass freqs could do with being a little deeper in my opinion.
I love the composition, not sure if we are talking a dancefloor smash but definately something that would rock in a Matrix movie or similar.

Love it.
Cheers

Sounds sweet Fred, intro would be nice for Halo 3 Trailer, very old school Goa .

Kopi =o.

Wow! what a super base! intro and outro is amazing!! melody is like a clasical track into a modern trance base yes.. a different sound but very nice track! congratulations Fred!


Posted by Spliph on Jun-14-2007 14:54:

wow, love intro! low-end needs EQ though! but man, this intro sounds similar to mine (the vocal "AHH" and FX bleeps)... crazy how energy flows run through people, i suppose..?


maybe you can add some reverb to it overall, really like how you have your noise sidechained.... and the acid bassline, EQ it more!

cheers

Incredible work... very fresh and Juno Reactor-ish at times.

The classical/orchestral sections are amazing. The voices and such are simply outstanding.

The bass frequencies could indeed stand out a little more in certain segments of the track, but the orchestral segments and such are the focus of the track. They are what it is all about, and what an achievement in experimental ideology this turned out to be.


Posted by kitphillips on Jun-15-2007 07:34:

Yeah, I agree, it is a bit Juno Reactoresque, but would still rock a dancefloor I think!
I'd love to know what you used for the vocal and orchestral bits tho! They're pretty amazing! The outro also works very well too.

The strings at the beginning are prominent but not overdone, its not like its really melodramatic, which these things can be. Its just right. And that big grungy supersaw works nicely to couterbalance the whole section too. The way you run those subtle little hihats over the breakdown at around 3:00 works wonderfully. I would change the melody a little in that section to give more drive and less Juno Reactor but its maybe just me. Overall, smooth work!


Posted by BOOsTER on Jun-15-2007 10:45:

cool sounds going from the very start and the choir gives it a lot of a dramatic feel

nice little stutters you got there hehe

gets much more moving after the intro...although the low end doesnt seem to pump at all you need to EQ/compress there...because you have all the power in the low mids and the subwoofer here on my setup almost doesnt move

otherwise everything sounds clean and its a very nice composition which would rock on the dancefloor I am sure...

Just can imagine myself dancing to that ! yeah!


Posted by theholyalex on Jun-15-2007 10:56:

yeah, this is great, completely original!

love the atmopshere, and bassline, im thinking the bassline stands out a tad too much over the atmosphere during the breakdown, just my opinion, really well eq'd. I reckon it would go down well on a dance floor, but only one way to find out

hmm, think the piano has a few too much mids and could do with a bit more high end?

But anyway, i love it!

Cheers,
Alex

Thanks so much everyone! You really made my day
Also, this really encourages me to finish my idea for a experimental album.

I listened to the track and heard the lack of bass as pointed out, funny how blind you get after working too much with a track
Also, I made the piano a bit clearer by loosing some mid-end and beefing the highend eq:ing.

Here's the new track: http://www.emortal.se/music/Emortal..._Angel_new2.mp3
Think it sounds better now?


Posted by 3F05Q on Jun-15-2007 19:40:

Great Stuff:

Plinky synth, such as in the intro and throughout.

1:49, synth that comes in here is great, especially like the delay/reverb tails that trail off.

4:47, I like the melody switchup here to lead into the next section.

I like the fact that even if you strip out the piano and strings, you'd have a great track. It doesn't rely on these, but it's reinforced by them

'Other' Stuff:

I have very little experience with the psy genre, but I've noticed a theme of lots of deep bass and a higher punchy kick. I'd like to hear some other opinions on this. I think some minor changes on bringing out some deeper bass and a punchier kick would round out this song perfectly!

I've always liked your stuff, and this is no exception.


Posted by 3F05Q on Jun-15-2007 19:43:

Looks like you posted a new version while I was writing my response!

But... the link you posted above my post.. forgot the /music/ folder.

And, yes, it sounds MUCH better.

The choire samples are from Spectrasonics "Symphony of Voices" collection, and the strings are from Eastwest Symphonic Orchestra Platinum library.


Posted by kitphillips on Jun-17-2007 03:55:

Platinum library....ouch... Will be checking them both out 4 sure, you've got great sounds here!


Posted by B_man on Jun-17-2007 21:53:

Excellent rework. THe kick and bass are far more punchy than last time. This revamped track really rocks!


Posted by cybernetica on Jun-18-2007 10:37:

I am listening to the newest version now. I gave you some comments on it in the Psyunite Mix 2 thread already

Beautiful choirs in teh intro.
The new kick and bass are awesome! The lower area is very powerful without getting muddy at all.
Now were getting some distorted acid and the track picks up drive. Lots of detail everywhere.
The first break is very dark and dramatic. Just well done in terms of building up the tune.
Now at 4:00, awesome work, really great!
The build down at 5:20 is very trippy and also very much my taste

Well, like I said, sorta reminds me of The Misted Muppet. Which is a big compliment I guess. I am glad we have such a gem in the Psyunite mix


Posted by Drik on Jun-19-2007 08:06:

Thanks mate!

Will have to check Misty Muppet out then


Posted by azndragon0613 on Jul-01-2007 17:44:

So I was searching the forum for something and I came across this topic and I thought the name was pretty cool so why not check it out?

AWESOME song! I love the fast paced rhythm, the driving piano, the choirs. Clean production too. The shift in melody at the end is fantastic. I wish it went past 6:23 though. I would have listened the extra length.


Posted by Drik on Jul-02-2007 15:06:

Thanks man, glad you liked it


Posted by iloop on Jul-11-2007 01:41:

nice bassline and arrangements, I like the melodic progressions and use of 303sounding instrumentation. great work on this one.


Posted by phantom limb on Jul-23-2007 19:22:

I truly enjoyed your song. The transitions and melodies just pwn beyond belief. I wasn't a big fan of goa-psy beats, but this truly inspires my work and piques my interest. Excellent work!! I look forward to hearing more of your stuff in the future.

BTW, I would truly love if you gave Dead Can Dance- Host of Seraphim a shot and try remixing it. I bet it could be an explosive and amazing track!!


Posted by gr8ape on Jul-24-2007 18:07:

wow wtf please release an album I will buy it.

This is exactly what I like : uplifting-psy.


Posted by seventyseven on Aug-02-2007 15:51:

Hi Emortal!
Nice Pic! Tracks Sound really professional and innovative...
Dynamic perc,great effects and synths used..
Everything is logic in this track... You though on it!

Nice to listening.. for me it's 8/10
