mellow, downtempo work in progress

haven't posted in a long time (had a baby boy), but now i'm getting back into writing tracks. wondering if all the keen minds on here have any thoughts about this track i'm working on:

thanks for listening...

Hello. I´ll start with saying congratulations on your baby boy!

Very nice and atmospheric track. I like the irregular beat, although I do have a bit of a craving for a change in beat somewhere in there, would be nice to add a second more regular beat, but maybe that wouldn´t quite fit with the irregularity of the rythms in the melodies.

Other than that i really love what you´re doing with the synths, they´re sounding great :)

Good luck with the rest of the track!

thanks much for the congrats and the feedback. i definitely agree about the repetitiveness of the drums... i wrote the bars and then looped them, thinking i'd go back and muck with them later on.

i appreciate you taking the time to listen and respond.

cheers,

eric

Really nice synth sounds, and really nice chords! I agree that the percussion is very repetitive but I like the beat you are working off of and it will be nice to hear it develop (along with the rest of the track).

This is nice! Congrats on the baby boy! When the pad starts playing around 0:39 it would maybe be nice to add a more uptempo rhythm like a harsher hat for the contrast which could be 4/4, and add a snare on the 3rd? Just thinking. Really nice synths.

thanks a lot for listening and writing feedback, much appreciated. definitely going to work on the drum track a bit, the possibilities are endless there. sometimes i spent a lot of time on the drums up front and end up putting just plain too many drum hits in. this one, once i nailed the initial loop, i started writing the synths and layering to get the idea out. now i can go back and shake it up a bit and hopefully not overdo it.

cheers, and thanks again,

eric

pretty chords bruh.
