Description : This is a fun electronic track that is dedicated to my wife! I used a couple pieces of MIDI gear as well as some samples and VSTi's to create this. Has a fun "pan flute" solo. Would love to hear what you think! From the Spivkurl album "Strong Like Squirrel."

i dig, and yea, the flute solo's pretty cool. I guess my one critique is that you use the same swell too many times; that reverse crash-cymbal thing. Eh, maybe you only used it... nope, it's your outro too. Yea, I don't know, I'm a big fan of buildups and I never like to use the same sound to build up a beat more than once in a track. Cool beat though, I don't really dig elecontronic-sounding business, but this was easy on the ears. Good work

Yeah I'm always guilty of overusing my swells and builds, I guess you could say it's part of my signature sound! I'm glad you liked the flute solo and the beat though! Thanks for the review!

Hey dad, glad you found this one! Just so you know it's not a real pan flute, but a synthetic version. It sounds pretty good anyway! Thanks for the review!

This is a strong piece to my ears, raw and energetic, subtle glitch in the hats really works for me as does the euphoric strings, panflute is a really nice touch and changes up the track nicely, crisp quality production, awesome stuff man, fav and download. thanks

Play 2 now...

Don't ask me why, but the name of this song remind me of those Memes that start off with,
"In Soviet Russia..."
And I must ask, with such a name, and with the mechanical vibe of this tune, have you been watching marathons of Dexter's Laboratory again? Haha, I kid, but both sort of lend themselves to that animation style (with a touch of Tim & Eric Awesome Show, Great Job on the side). Question, did ya ever see the episode where they went to the center of the earth and were around the lava people? It was wicked cool!
And now for a comment about the song,
"Needs moar syncopation?"
I dunno man, just being random. Nicely done. Later on!
Spivkurl
Spivkurl replied Unknown
To be honest, I've never seen the shows that you spoke of! I agree it could use a little syncopation, but I was going for a mechanical vibe like you said. Thanks much for your review!

I have to agree with Wayne. The longer the one went, the more fun it became...almost like some great auditory roller coaster ride. Terrific work, but that is no surprise.

This is a wonderful listen. And for the record, I think squirrels are cool :)

In the musical chat-room of late, I've been encountered several artists with full on phobia's of squirrels. Actually dated a girl briefly in the `80's who suffered from that, and now I'm tempted to direct them all to this track the next time it comes up. Perhaps it's the sonic cure to what ails them?

I love how experimental this sounds. Like Nuada, I'm definitely hearing the tendril like connection to Industrial with non-musical sounds making a glorious harmonic racket. Combined with Glitch, and "Ethnic" - well...what a ride! Nice one!
Spivkurl
Spivkurl replied Unknown
I can imagine having a fear of squirrels I guess, would be nice if this was a cure... ha ha!

Thanks for your interesting and helpful review! I always like hearing from you!

More fun the longer it went, especially liked the pan flute, it fit perfectly and lifted the song up, too cool! I was waiting for it to end there with the synths but the cymbal was not expected but much appreciated! Excellent track you put together!

Description : A demo of one of my current projects. The chorus vocal sounds like "Aaaaraashe" to me. The song is in C# minor with a nod to C# pythagorean on the chorus. The beat on the verse was inspired by the Peter Gabriel song Intruder.

Description : This is one of my earliest productions that I did at the start of my recording career. I did not have a keyboard at the time I made this song, so I improvised and used my sister's iPad and a 5 dollar GarageBand application instead, and plugged the headset jack into into my PT6 rig and did my best to turn each individual track (which were mono and there were about 25 tracks or so) into a stereo image. Then recorded vocals over it. My computer was so old and slow that I had to mix my music and then BOUNCE it to a new session - four times. My computer (which had 512 MB RAM and an 80 GB hard drive) couldn't handle more than 8 tracks at a time or it'd stop working because the processor couldn't handle it. Took me FOREVER to do. But I got it done. Had a lot of fun doing it too, even if it isn't my "best" work. I'm still happy with it, considering I didn't have many tools to choose from at the time.

Description : Long time lurker first time poster, pretty new to production n stuff, this is my first track in Ableton Live.
was going for a darkwave/synthwave sound, reminiscent of Justice, Carpenter Brut, Perturbator, ect.
Looking for some feed back, constructive criticisms or even just your thoughts if you liked it or not. This is just a rough cut on this current WIP, just the bones of it if you will.. If you have some cool title suggestions, would love to hear those too.
Thanks for listening.

Description : Far out mid-tempo fat beat deep chillout grooves with Eastern/Arabic and slightly menacing vibes, huge delayed synth bass and a great palette of psychedelic layered and intricate sounds (mostly synths) and a stirring, epic feel. Even has guitar solo section reminiscent of some 80s power rock which is then followed by a brief synth harp solo. I began making it straight after staying round the flat of the flute player from the legendary Ozric Tentacles - easily the greatest ever space rock band. I made this in about 2001 and still think it might be my best track (and it's nice and short, for a change). My production skills were much weaker in those days (no EQ, compression or mastering used here) but, somehow, this one turned out pretty much just right. Feel free to disagree. Now sit back and get ready to trip extremely far out. If you manage to return, let me know how that trip was...
