Couple of things right from the top lol (it is just me); one --> I would look for or add some melodic element (at least one) to nicely glue those sounds together (like give this sound evolution a specific direction); and two --> automate this sound, make it morph a bit more, develop more attractive combination of sounds which will interplay between each other in more natural/harmonic way, this is really important in this particular style/genre which is trying to play with people emotions and feelings. You are on the right path my friend, just my $0.02.

Have a great one man,

Darek

Not sure yet, first time going tonight. but there is always a good show going on, somtimes trinity actually has some good dj's, "house nights", trance sets and what not. Google club trinity! also, Space is an underground venue in sodo. I guess this monkey club is also in the industrial district. That would be cool to bump into you at a show someday! fuck dude you and anakartis should do some kind of a live set together sometime, you guys could really bring some soul and emotion to the dance floor with your own music. I would most defiantly go!

Top of my head -


1:55 can be so much better....try to increase(automate) the reso after adding delay+reverb...but simultaneously decrease the volume over 8 bars to sort of meld into the pads...

3:00 - 3:45 ...did u use glitch?...try using some variations.Giving a glitched FX ,a lead synth's priority ...well ...it doesnt sit well (from personal experience )

Outro could have been better...slowly removing pads and elements from the drum loop.

2:45 - Zeh Reverb zould be moaaar


But really great track man.......awesome work !!!

I think you have some nice elements there, but the pad drone under the whole thing feels a little overpowering. Not that it shouldn't be there, but that it should be more subtle. This will allow it to lay the foundation like I suspect you want it to, but also make room for you to do more interesting bits on top of and inside of it.

Also, the sounds you are using for some of the detailed blips and blops feel very naked to me. Try putting some texture on them with some effects and filters and such to dirty them up a bit.

Then I would also try breaking up your arrangement a bit more into clear drones, builds, and releases. I think all the parts are real close, but just my thoughts. Ultimately its your piece and has to satisfy YOU creatively. If it has done that, chances are it will reach someone else as well.

thanks for sharing.

rich

definatly on the right path here man.. nice chill acidy sound me thinks..i agree with trancelovers post.. was thinking almost the same thing as the track progressed.. good work so far..look forward to hearing the update.

Yeah.. im very surprised my reverb is so almost non existent, I pretty much always have people telling me "dude that reverb is way to big" :P
But this track could def use some. Thanks for your listen and suggestions! playing with the pad. I think I'll leave the glitched out part . It was fun making it, and i love its rhythm

Yeah it was kind of sketchy last night, was nothing what I thought it would be. It was some loft in the industrial district, and it wasnt a show of any sort, it turned out to be a go go girl audition in this multi million dollar loft, w/ all sorts of cool shit but it was pretty lame lol. Year of the monkey was what it was called, i guess its some private club. Wasnt fun. (the girls were hot though). http://www.lastsupperclub.com/
That place sometimes has some good shows, actually Arnej was playing there tonight. Pioneer square.
