Frosty Jack Posted August 11, 2004 Report Share Posted August 11, 2004 I wrote another track this afternoon' date=' with a very dark feel to it, to suit the shitty weather.Enjoy. (2.5mb mp3)[url']http://www.neuscan.com/stripey--neurotoxin.mp3 (right click and save target as...to download)The bass line that comes in at 1min sounds off-key to me. Is it a definite note, or a multi-frequency hum kinda thing? Doesn't quite sit, anyway. This one would sound great with a key change. Stick in a 7th chord somewhere, and modulate. Go on, give it a go... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might have a go at changing it and writing a 2nd half of sorts, see if i can do the key change thing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lime ruined my life Posted August 11, 2004 Report Share Posted August 11, 2004 that opening synths a bit cheesey. with a bit of processing it could be sounding quite nice though.i dont particularly like the 3 bongo hits at the end of the drum pattern, it might be good to vary the velocity of the bongos and maybe double them up with another pitched drum, i quite like the first bit, the snares a bit dull though. the bass drum could be a bit higher in the mix, maybe compressed some more.thats what i think anyway.

Lawy Lawson:Attorney Posted August 11, 2004 Report Share Posted August 11, 2004 Cool, but sounds a little like the X-Files theme . I agree a key change would be nice, but that's still pretty interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kinda agree, the kick coulda had a little more impact...I just woke up and felt like shit and the weather was shit and i just slapped it together over a couple of hours, and thought "fuck it, it's done", it's certainly not a refined piece. Thanks for having a listen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sundaram Posted August 11, 2004 Report Share Posted August 11, 2004 Nice track even with the interesting bass I like the keyboard sound, reminds me of Terry Riley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only difference is the bassline is now in tune. I'm not gonna do anything more to the track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
