My first post in this forum - let me know what you think, and I hope you'll enjoy :)
Download/stream: Sinister Plan (3:16 / 5.23mb)
Note: This is for headphones only, I have no idea how it sounds on proper speakers. I'm waiting for some monitor speakers as I write these words. |

Hm, it sounds like a wacky circus, but I feel like you should develop the melodies, make them twice as long maybe.
The production is okay, the soundscape is pretty dense and nice.
What I would work on are the melodies as they are a bit short / simple / not giving. |

Agreed. I kept it simple for the sake of the genre to be quite fair, but perhaps I should have taken on the paradigm eih? I will next time now that you mention it - you see, I also make classical and a sort of fusion jazz (besides downright electronica) which is an entirely diff. sport when it comes to melodies. Melodies have never been my weakness actually.
I tried to drain the simplicity of the melodies in this instance with several breaks and sporadic progressions, so I agree the melodies are very simple. I thought that was why it was called Trance tho, because it's so repeative that it induces a state of trance, but trance is of course a tree of many branches these days.

this could be contrary to what you were going for, but I just felt like it needed some groove. the melodies and bass are very stiff. try adding some off beat notes.
other than that, it kept me interested. good work. |

Not exactly contrary, we can never have enough groove, but I do try to keep your ears on other aspects of the soundscape. On arpeggios in particular. They are the "sinister" ones :)
