I'm only saying that because I don't know, lately I threw a lot of studio time to the garbage can, do you gyus do this too? Nights of aimless riffing down the drain? Please say you do :p But this one sounds like a keeper. Let's says its sadeness level is slightly above my last year average one, so it's all good, considering. I warned everybody that this next album would be pretty dark. -- Yassin "xaccrocheur" Philip http://manyrecords.com / http://yassinphilip.bitbucket.org

Starts very good, the feeling is put in place quickly after a short intro, the voice is very good. The bass carries the warmth and makes a very good tandem with the drums. Keyboard gives this airy atmosphere for dreams. I still feel that there should be something happening at one point. Perhaps only a slight modulation, a slight orchestral change, even if the piece is short. To come back to the main section with something added. The 'lead' sound that starts at approx. 2:10 might not be exactly what the piece needs IMHO to make the contrast between dreams and 'real'. It kind of cringe along. 'real' is not necessarily that bad :) Cheers.

BTW, because of how Soundcloud works (not very nicely I find) I cannot put a 'like' on the song simply because if I do, then it will be added to my Soundcloud and it does, then after one of my piece has played, it will go to your song. What I want is people to stay with *my* songs and I do not think this is selfish. It's just that I want people to hear my music. If they want to hear something else, they simply go elsewhere, there are not automatically directed elsewhere. Otherwise I would have put a 'like' on your song. Cheers.

At that time at least SC behaved in such a way that when one of my piece has ended, the next to be played os taken from the favorites. Since them I 'liked' some of my music to add them to the favorites. Octave, from Iceland, seems to be quite good as an alternative but unfortunately it's $20 a month. octave.is Nothing's wrong with dancing in the kitchen. So much the better the food will be. Coffee grinder can also be pulsed to the beat. Speaking of: http://www.sengpielaudio.com/calculator-bpmtempotime.htm It is common to have the release time of the compressor relative to the BPM. For instance, to have the compressor in 1/8 notes for a BPM of 130, it would be 231ms. Compression should be there and subtle. There is no need, I think, for a dreamy song, to have heavy compressor. Actually this dreamy feeling would be good for a vintage compressor, whose emulation of tubes and transformers would bring added warmth. But there's only one in Linux, the Fairchild from OvertoneDSP, and is not Open Source. Cheers.
