Oh Shit

This may, quite possibly, be the best song I've ever written.

 

It started as a remix of "Breathing" from one of my Project 168's.

 

Part 4 plz.

Fairly nice. The harmonies reminds me a fair bit of Aphex as do the beats. I keep mixing you up with 'Noise' on YLC for some reason. Anyways if you are who I think you are then this sounds like other stuff I've heard of yours. Goes on a little but yeah its quality enough. Sounds like Orbital mixed with Aphex. I like the way you beefed it up towards the end with those saturated beats. A little on the repetative side and could do with a breater (excuse the pun) here and there but pretty nice.

Love the beginning of the track with the bassy hits and the clack sounding thing. I thought from the intro this would go in a different direction but I did enjoy it quite a bit. I like it a lot towards the end when a more defined beat kicks in.

great drum sounds

maybe a bit long... not super into the chiptune sounding synth

DUDE THIS TRACK DOES ABSOLUTELY NOTHING FOR 55 SECONDS! NOTHING@#%@

 

ok i know circa 47-48 seconds in there's some very low little melody, but it's nothing important and barely audible. i mean, why did you have us sit there and listen to fuzzy nothing for 55 seconds? that's way too pretensiously pseudoartistic for my liking.

 

by 1:40 in i can tell that this wants to be a thoughtful "oldschool" electronic music type cut, as there's very little progression in any of the low range of sounds and it's trying to tweak me out on about 2-3 layers of melodic co-lead synths interplaying with each other. it's serene and i think it's indicative of skill there, but it's not really my cup of tea, i am disappointed to say. but i do recognize some talent in there!

 

2:40 in.. nothing changes, but AH WAIT THERE'S THE BREAKDOWN WOO!! now it's a little twinkly leadsynth going all light and airy with natural piano sinking in there, trying to tug at my emotive stringsd... WHOA WHAT WAS THAT AT 3:12?

 

it sounds like something bumped a microphone, then the track kicks back in. well i'll give you that that was unforeseen (i live for those moments in life when you can actually use one word twice in a row in a fit of repetition) by 3:43 the track adds in the final layer of synthing, on top of a little CUTESY drill-lite beat, with the shuffle of hi-hats going on and little zzzts and zips off on the side in the background, because you can't get all that rough when there's the amalgamation of happy post-plaid synths on the top.

 

all in all, i spose the track does go through the motions of general song structure, it tries to have moments, like at 4:43 when you have another abrupt noise come out of nowhere and signify another jump up to another level. this time, it seems to be the grand finale as the emotional energy is ratcheted up another notch, the beat seems to studder more in the background, with a soft airy phlange-type-filter on it. there's even more of those post-new-age oooh ahhh sounds going on with the tweaking co-lead synthline amalgamations, but by 5:47 it seems to be simply repeating itself. altho i spose you could do a lot worse than going a bit long with this segment of the song, as it is the fully realized finale of the whole experience. 6:23 and it's still the same... a little accentuated wailing co-lead-synth about 6:40, then it shoots its wad (read: drops the beat and goes into outro mode) at 6:46, and since track says 7:37 that means i can expect approximately 50 seconds of self-congratulatory fadeout, kind of like being all epic and grandiose and cuddling with theee lady after a proper session of good fucking. oh wait, foiled again, the ooh all post-ejaculation section ends at 7:22, leaving me with 15 seconds of dead air to contemplate what this track means to me in the whole of my life.

 

all in all, i'd say that you've got a pretty solid idea of the structure of a song, and you seem to know how to juxtapose sounds and work on layering them in certain progressions/de-evolutions to work with a buldup/breakdown/reprise format.

 

i'd say that your rockstar moments, aka that one second where you actually pull the lever to kick in another layer of track or to change it outright to the "B" part of the track, you know where someone like aphex drops a vocal sample akin to "COMEON YOU CUNT, LET'S HAVE SOME APHEX ACID"?? well those flamboyantly ostentacious moments of alphadog-wrought change are where you need to noticeably improve, as you tended to just have an odd sound, such as the one where i said it sounded like someone walked into the microphone, or maybe just a volume-increased mash of sounds step all over the normal parts for a second.... those moments are the places where you needed something like a kickass vocal sample, or since this track doesn't seem to facilitate such an institution, maybe have some one-time out of nowhere all encompassing whoosh or synth flare or some sort of trippy-sounding-flush-of-pads that would go with the overall feel of the track?

 

i dunno... it seemed like you're ambitious enough to work towards having a track with actual momentum in it, so just keep doing it and you'll probably figure out how to better accentuate the moments where you ratchet up the intensity, then exactly how long to lay out the product... its kind of like when people say "man, if you had a bitch that fine you wouldn't know what to do with her"

 

so when the proverbial bitch that is your track gets to be that fine, then you'll get the needed experience in figuring out what to do with'er
