IDM Ambience

Hey all online people.

I released another track this week. It is an ambient piece again. Not DnB like the last few, just straight ambient, but it is still interesting.

It's free to download, and let me know what you think of it, or anything else I have released.

Hope you enjoy

I think this is pretty nice. Especially that guitar-y sounding thing that comes in around the middle.

I do have a few points to add though:

I like the idea you have behind this track but I feel it´s not quite expressing all it could be. Maybe the chords could be more prominent and obvious, at least at some point in the track. Also, it would be nice if a recognisable rythm could come in at some point. That´s just my personal preference though, maybe you were going for the whole unrecognisable rythm aspect, in which case it still works. Also, I feel the opening is a bit long, it feels a bit to me like you´re just playing around with that idea a bit too much. Some cutting and editting wouldn´t necessarily be a bad thing here.

Hope that´s constructive criticism and it doesn´t just seem like I´m being an ass. I really like the track, I do :)

I agree with Herman. I'm not necessarily a big fan of the sound of the guitar - a bit too much wah-wah for my taste (I don't even know if it's a wah-wah effect :)), but I like the idea. If i was you I would probably add some kind of string, pad or something to create some stability in the track. Even though it's ambient it still seems a bit too staccato for it to be really relaxing. But I'm sure if you fade in some kind of soft sounding string-like sound it'll help keep the track afloat.

I like the idea of a sub bass in this track, but even with headphones on it's not very noticeable. This might be because of Soundcloud's crappy compression, but maybe you should add a tiny, tiny bit of distortion or (over)drive, because that would make it pop a lot more.

I'm guessing you were inspired by Cliff Martinez, when you made this track :)
