Project-X (Very early cut) DariusX and Anakratis

Hi all TA's,

After my long Summer vacation (from music lol), we decided to put our heads together (with Anakratis) one more time and produce something new fresh and happy with summery fell all around, please give it a run and let us know if, from your perspective, we achieve this sweet and positive vibe in this short piece - have a great run guys !!!

Cheers from Seattle,

Darek

Cool old school sounding drum kit. That white noise is a little distracting imho. The pattern is suitable, but the sound a little distracting. Just fits kind of odd, especially once it becomes more highpassed and resonant. Chordal synth coming in has a nice timbre. White noise still being a bit distracting.

Chordal synth could be brought out a bit more, or layered with something else. It is a nice instrument though. The bottom end is a little saturated, sounds like a lot is trying to get through but muds up a little. Nice mellow prog idea though

Definitely got a good start. Hope to hear the whole thing when it's done.

I don't think the white noise is distracting, it enhances the track to me, but I agree that it would be better if the melody was brought more

I really liked it. Likewise - I do not think the noise was distracting - it added a nice atmosphere to the track. Loved the synth patches and the progression as well. I am really looking forward to hearing this finished.

I like the feel and vibe but can you make the drums more funky as to me they are a bit basic and straight as they are. Just more movement and subbtlety in the drums, not so robotic - hope that's ok!

Great info and comments guys, really appreciate your time and opinions - as I said on SC, still very early stage of production so don't be surprise if this will change quite a bit lol - it was just an idea layout for us and you guys to show you how our production development process works lol and Richard, yes, I'm working on this extra groove or riff on these drums, didn't quite connect with them and after hearing that track like 20 times, I'm more convince that some changes/rework need to happen lol lol lol - Greatly appreciate your comments guys.

Cheers from Seattle,
