this sort of sounds like a chinese curse tbh
@cyclopede: overall liking the ambiance and the textures in this. as i say every week, could just be my headphones, but the lower end sounds conspicuously absent to me. also the kicks sound a bit out of place, or maybe they just need to be layered with something else filling the lower frequencies of the spectrum. idk, i like this and i feel it has the potential to be some epic dark piece a la Vex'd/Roly Porter (not sure if that's what you were consciously aiming for?), but it lacks energy in the lower end for me.
@bud and his buddy: 4-4 liking the choir like sounds in the intro as well the pitched voices. but i sort of agree with nwj's comment, idk, maybe i would completely change the beats altogether, probably personal taste but i feel it doesn't fit at all in the context of the other elements. i would go for something much more subdued. its like you have all those hazy elements drenched in reverb and this overly clinical beat on top of it. (wait isn't it the same track you posted last week? do i have alzheimer? so many questions)
9-1: now thats more like it, feeling this. however i feel the beats could do with some extra stuff, maybe hihats (not necessarily hihats per se, maybe samples of jingling keys or whatever) also you could put some of the drum hits through some reverb? aside from this, great work
@danny fjord: liking the melody and that vocal sample is really lovely. albeit being a tad less ancient than nwj, i concur, the mixdown could be reworked to give each of the elements more space to breathe and not be completely overpowered by the bass. also probably more a personal taste thing but i would like to hear more variations and incidentals in the beat. maybe mute it for a bar at times, this kind of stuff goes a long way to keep a track interesting throughout i find.
@klob gnobin: great work on the sound design, mixdown sounds really on point (at least on my headphones no one should trust). i wish there more of a sense of progression though, maybe i'm not in the right mindset at the moment, but i felt it took too long to build up to that dystopian synth coming in towards the end? maybe you could hint at it earlier in the track, or add another (even if something subtle) element to it? also, yes, would be really interested to hear a collab between you and cyclopian.
@novajsy: Capt. Benjamin Willard: They told me that you had gone totally insane, and that your methods were unsound.
Colonel Kurtz: Are my methods unsound?
Capt. Benjamin Willard: I don't see any method at all, sir.
