[The Bodhrán Duel]

That was dope as hell gurl! How long did it take to compose and/or record this? You have quite the passion in this piece. I'mma download this for future use. :p

5/5 10/10

Troisnyx responds:

Composing didn't take a while. Recording did, in that there was a long break between Frootza's take (which was in November) and mine (which was in January). I needed to listen to this a few times so as to get into the groove, and Frootza had already told me he was doing a 90 BPM groove, so I thought I'd follow suit.

My playing was done in one single take. Although admittedly, I sometimes feel embarrassed about the slips -- but many have told me these make the piece human.

Thanks -- glad you enjoyed it!

[Greensong]

This almost sounds like a minimal house loop. I like it.

7/10

Kokkobello responds:

Thanks!

[AxEL - Elastic [clip]]

Man, that bass is sooooo good. Why is it only a clip? Is the full track on your Soundcloud? I'mma look soon. This reminds me of Rusko in a way.

4 stars for the shortness. :p

AxELdub responds:

This song is actually still being worked on, full track will be available soon on the soundcloud.

[The Desert]

Man, I love your sample usage. The guitar that shows up halfway through is awesome. Is that a flute underneath the drums at around 0:45? I'm not really feeling the beat until the dialogue sample shows up, but your synths are on point. I really dig the last minute and a half though. The glockenspiel (Am I correct in this presumption?) at the end is cool. I would have used it throughout the track instead of only at the end, but to each their own.

I would love it if I could download this. :p

EdKempeper responds:

Hi ! (sorry for my poor english and this late answer ). Thanks for your comment ! Most of the samples is from a video called "Indian prophecy" or something like that. You're right, there's a native flute taken from Universal Soundbank. And for the glockenspiel i think it's from "Harmless" synthesizer, a preset called "Music box". Hope this coud help you.

[Strange Tomato]

Your vocal style reminds me of Ween. I could totally hear this being recorded on a 4-track and put o one of their first albums.

................

I don't know what else to say so I'll just leave. :p

ChessPiece19 responds:

I love Ween so much mang. If I could ever be half as talented as those dudes are I'd be extremely pleased with myself.

[The Awakening]

I sure as hell don't.

This track is very sorrowful, but uplifting at the same time.

What's the dialogue sample at 1:15 saying? 'Billy.....' is all I can catch.

The pad at 1:20 sounds like something out of Silent Hill.

I like the heart monitor FX throughout.

That sampled rain adds to the melancholia vibes I get from this as well.

Awesome Ambient piece Zoo!

5/5 10/10

Waidmann responds:

"The Moscow Time is now 8AM"

[Concept Kindled]

As Kwing said, I get a very Nujabes feel from this, albeit without the Low Pass Filter Jun usually used.

That sample sounds like it's a low quality MP3.

Is that due to the filter that's being applied?

With the drums, it fits, but it would have been better if you'd have continued with the b section in the second half.

Perhaps some scratches on some vocals for a hook, then go back with a bit of differentiation in the beat during the second verse.

As it stands, this isn't horrible; It just needs to be fleshed out some more. :)

4/5 8/10

DJDureagon responds:

There are several filters being applied but the sample is definitely muddy and lacking in detail. as much as i would love to mess with something higher quality I am not apposed to this sounding one dimensional as long as i can add enough to it to make it sound.. fun? i guess.

All good and true points. I really enjoy this kind of feedback. It's the reason i post up my tunes in this site really.

[-GM- Spring]

Loving the breaks G! The upright bass, piano and sax are uber dope as well. This'd be a good track to freestyle over.

Keep it up mate!
