Uncle Age:
Thank you very much for listening and commenting.
“1st and foremost, I like it. I’ve given it about 10 replays. So first off I’ll say, Nice Job man!”
Thank you!
“@ 2:50 I think the silence and reset is anti-climatic”
I hear you. I’ve fretted over that area more than you can imagine. Originally I kept a bass drum with a light multi-tap delay going through there (with no space) but it didn’t feel right either. I think the problem now might be that the space is maybe a second too long. I dunno.
“The very nature of the tune (to me) means that some elements will be repetitive. And you break it up nicely. But after the break/bridge @ 2:36 I was looking for more.”
Another good point. This started out as a trance pastiche, but people weren’t getting the satire aspect of it so after a certain point I just sort of let it find itself. The structure is very simple — ABA (with a few variations). Harmonically it’s very simple, too. I needed an uptempo song in the worst way because most of my stuff is dark and down. I need to add an intro piece (which was done in Podium) and one more song that is part-way done, then I’ll re-release the EP as a full-length next year.
“I’m going to give the rest a listen tonight. And I hope you don’t mind me sharing my thoughts.”
I always enjoy and value criticism. Please bear in mind that everything on the site (except tracks labeled “In Progress”) are complete and mastered, meaning I won’t be making any further changes to them. Just mentioning so that you don’t feel like you’re wasting your time. I value input, however, and want to keep striving to get better and push myself more. So comments are always valuable to me.
I’ll post the intro and a render 3 version of “Stars Around My Head” later this week.
I can’t tell you enough how much I appreciate your time. I’m very grateful.
