last postman last letter

Since I`d already posted it in another thread in another subforum, I`ll park it now in YLC and leave it here. I also wanted to get that funky looking soundcloud waveform but they are out of my favorite logins so I present you the link to a player: https://www.box.com/...89ed3bfb59f6515

Cheers!

I like the drums and that bassy synth. I was kinda hoping for some lush synths, but that's just my personal taste. I also quite like that bird-like synth around the 11:00 mark.

It's pretty noisy, and not something I could listen to any time, but it's pretty interesting to listen to.

Hey, thanks! I made the song using only one synth for all the sounds except bd/snr/hh and that`s probably why the sounds are somewhat similar.

I like the evolving sound design palette, but the bassline and drums get pretty tired quite early on. I think it could really use more of a melodic edge and a bit of variety with the drums. It's just personal preference, but I always think that sound design should compliment some kind of emotional component to the music. Nice stuff though, keep up the good work!

Oh. That's pretty impressive!

I think a major drum beat change in there would really do a wonder. That and chopping the time down to about 4 mins :) It feels like a sketch at this point, but there are some interesting things in there. Now use some editorial skills to keep the most interesting stuff and condense it down. Cool stuff though.

Thanks guys! I know it could be shorter and all that but this song`s train is gone and I won`t return to editing/improving it. Just think about it as a ugly child. It still has some qualities lol.

Really nice sounds there. I'm currently about half way through. It's too bad you wont keep working on this one, cause as good as it is, it still has potential to be even better. Some nice lush synths would be ace, as mentioned by friendly foil. It's still a cool song though.

Woah, big change after 9:40. Sounding great.

Cool melodic synth work after 11:00.

Good song.

I think most of it's been said, but for my two cents:

I really like the drum work, especially in conjunction with the synth at 4:10.

You've done a good job with keeping a lot of variety in the drum loop itself, but yeah I feel the song could be shorter.

This is quite good overall, and I'm looking forward to hearing more from you!

Strong work sustaining something for 13 mins. Most of the comments above are right on the money, and for me the first half, up to where that crescendo around the 7-minute mark ends, are the best. The second half seems to explore a few different directions without ever settling on a strong hook or thematic element which would make it feel more cohesive.

I totally understand your 'ugly child' comment, trying to intelligently edit down something this long without making a mess requires a lot of patience.

Thanks everyone! This is my first track online and it was somewhat interesting experience as I had no idea if anyone would like what I`m cooking, so yeah, good to know I`m not completely lost in my head :) Although I must admit I really hate this feeling that you kind of hope that someone has listened and then you cannot help yourself but have to check if someone has listened since last check...don`t like it at all...so I probably just gonna go back to cooking on my own for my own pleasure. But quite dope subforum I must admit. Thanks again guys, I listened to some of your tracks, will check some more as I liked what I heard,
