Hip hop isn't a genre i'm particularly good with so i'm probably not the best to comment on this.
However, i like what i'm hearing. The music is great, especially the piano. The vocal could do with being a tad louder in places as it's obscured a little by the bass.
That said, this is a good track and i like the way you used both male and female vocalists. It changes the flavour of the track.
It's an imaginitive track and i enjoyed listening to it.

Savino as U know I'm not a fan of hiphop buT this was a considered instrumentation , plus a beautifull orchestration -by far most serious arrangemenT I've listened for a hiphop track = what a hard & serious pianO line U've patientlY written !- & catchy execution of vocals which totally had make a pleasurable package,what convinces me to mark a hiphop track as fav.many thnx for sharing .Savino i hope all is well beyond that monitor for U ..take care .___B

Hey my friend! The instrumentation is stellar on this track. I'd scrap the male spoken word altogether (except that bit that comes in at the very end), and stick with the girl. It's just enough. The music is so tight and beautiful it doesn't need anything. This is definitely among your BEST work, IMHO!

Love & Light,

Mykael

hey Mykael, thanks for the big compliments!
happy to hear you felt it my friend.
yes Joanna's part is also my favourite moment in this.
i thought about what you said too and almost went through with it.
but then i thought it can seem disrespectful to some vocalists and rather not get too surgical yet without knowing the artist well enough or being able to ask if they're ok with that and not gonna take it personal.
never happened here yet though - how could it with all us down to earth people! xD

in fact now i remember i did already remove a few sung parts, but that was inevitable because of interval mismatching in this harmonic context and re-tuning auto-tuned just doesn't feel right hehe.
again thanks for your visit and the motiavting words!

Awesome track doudei! The tracks very upbeat as a whole. That's a dope beat and great use of Kamoflage's and Joanna's vocals. The mix sounds good too. Nice work.

hey Shatner, many thanks for your kind words man.
it feels wonderful and is motivating to read these kind of things, even more so if they are coming from an actual hip hop expert. much obliged!

I'm generally not a fan of the hip-hops, but this is good. I think it could probably fall comfortably under a couple of different genres. Which is good. It's versatility makes it a more unique tune, and as far as I know, this is pretty unique for what it is. (Like I said, I don't usually listen to hip hop so I'm not too familiar with the genre).
At any rate, good work. I look forward to listening to more of your work.

Take care.

thanks a lot for this great comment! always nice when people can enjoy music that's outside of their favourite genres or even out of their comfort zone. i like that you said this can be labeled with different styles. trying to fuse unrelated properties of different musical ideals and concepts can lead to interesting combinations. makes you feel a little bit like Mendel, but instead of genetic material there are timbres, intervals, ratios, more ratios and of course cowbells.
but i digress, my apologies and thanks for stopping by! :)

proof that hip hop has come a long way from its origins...I like the rich music mix doudei..the piano is great and those little higher tinkles that come in once in a while really set the mix off nicely...I was surprised to read that you did this on headphones...its a good sounding mix...well done (again).....Ed

doudei replied 24th Mar 2014 - 10 years ago
thanks for your much appreciated comment Ed. happy to hear the mix is agreeable!

recently i've been using headphones more and more to mix tracks. the most trouble is definitely with the low end energy in most of the mixes.
i would say if you keep using the same headphones all the time and practice a lot, then anyone can properly mix on headphones, granted that they are of a certain quality.

thanks again Ed and have a good start into the new week!

Yo dude.

I didn't think this would be as good as your last upload but that was fairly epic stuff.

This is so different but also good.

I can see why you've put the spoken word vocals in the first 20 secs but I feel they interfere a bit with the strings and other elements going on.

0:22 this main section may have slightly too much percussion. Maybe strip one particular shaker/hat element to make it groove a bit better and give it all a bit more space.

1:02 some weird effects that are fun.

Piano really takes over after that. Cool low notes and it's all bouncing along nicely.

There are some fun little high, cute sounds in this that work well.

2:22 seems to be a bit of a conflict between her vocals and the ethereal string thing. Maybe it's playing a slightly 'wrong' note. I'm not sure. Maybe it's a bit too loud.

This has got some definite character and I don't really think of it as hip hop.

Good summer vibe and fadeout ending works well though perhaps let it fade for 10 seconds longer.

People are going to like this, as you will soon find out...

hey there!
i made this on headphones only and i know i tend to overload things even more than usual because it's a more detailed listening method.
going to listen on different system this week and see if i can improve it and make it a little less crowded like you suggested.
glad you enjoyed and many thanks for sharing your thoughts!

Description : Something i did when i was about 15, and when i still made beats. This particular track is actually the reason i decided to get into composing at all. I had a good run with the beats and hip-hop scene, but i always had a leaning more towards composing and this, i think, is the catalyst for that revelation. This beat is 9 years old, and gives you a sense of what it was like to be a young, passionate, musically driven teen. Thank you.
