I like this. I like the minimalist thing. I think it takes a little more effort to make so little sound so good for such a duration.
Anyone can play tetris with sounds and cram a bunch of things in to fill all of the spaces ever, and call it a good tune. Well, okay, not anyone, but you know what I mean.
Speaking from my own personal experiences, I start out making something minimal and simple, and by the time I'm done, it's full of crash cymbals, double kicks, risers, impacts and all kinds of other things.
So, I totally dig what you've done here. I know it's not easy to apply the whole "less is more" concept in music.
How's it going Valve? Good to hear from you and glad you gave my track a listen. I've always appreciated your feedback.
I'm glad you liked the track. Even without your explanation, I know how much you can cram into a track. But that's a good thing cause you can make it rock or get trippy. I've heard both from you. So for you to appreciate this means a lot.
The heavy work here was done by MrRobot in his loop but like you said, I applied the 'less is more' which I like to do. I dont limit myself to that concept but it's something I'm a fan of and enjoy listening to so it's natural that I'll lean that way. But even minimal takes some work to produce. I put some work into this, damnit!! LOL
Pretty cool effort here! It's style is definitely not my usual listening preference, but I can here the creativity and focus within. I like the sound quality and frequency range very much. I guess, like StaticNomad, I enjoy more variation in songs I listen to... though I would admit to being into a different kind of variation from SN. Towards the end it got more exciting for me, so that's a good thing. I like to hear you trying some different things, and I will definitely keep listening!
Thx for the listen Pat. You already know how much I respect your opinion so I wont repeat it. In this track, I stayed true to my intent which was to make the original loop carry the track. I had a clear idea what I wanted to do and I'm happy with it. Glad you noticed the sound and frequency range. I tried a few different things in the mixdown and mastering and I'm happy with that too. Always room for improvement though :)Cheers!
This track is driven with forward momentum and energy.
Love the phasing type of effects at 1.04.
You bring me back to my early days of collecting synthesizer music, on cassettes of course.
I recognize the voice - that's Harrison Ford if I'm correct.
The 'runner' part of your title kinda gives it away too.
Good job brother Renzy.
Be strong! - B
Hey BD, how are things? Good to hear from you. And thx, I appreciate the comments :) I have to admit, MrRobot deserves credit for his awesome loop. I just tried to bring it to life in my own way. Yes, its Harrison Ford from Blade Runner. And yes again, I gave it away in the title :)
Really sweet minimal Renz. Yeah you pretty much nailed the Moroder sound. Very retro disco. I think StaticNomad is right on the spoken audio. Harrison Ford in "Blade Runner" using some kind of machine to enhance a picture for uncover clues on a suspect. I liked the movie and thought Rutger Howards performance was awesome.
Thx for the kind words Cru! I'm a big Depeche Mode fan and I like some of Vince Clark's work after DM. Mainly Yazoo. But I never heard of this project. Thx so much for the link. Luv that track. Going to have to check out the rest of VCMG's work for sure! :)
hi again again,
ha! my kraftwerk-best-of piece would be definitely 'the model' which is a kind of a 'song' too and the one that somehow defines the style. anyway Im enjoying much that particular kind of a minimal-industrial groove present as well in your recording. Nice work on this one and simply keep it up!
Alex
hi hi again again lol I love The Model! You are right about how The Model sounds like a synthpop song instead of spacy and robotic. On that album The Man-Machine, it's so different from the other tracks but soooo good! :)I like all KW's albums but the Man-Machine was the first I ever heard and it absolutely blew me away so it will always be my favorite.
Thx again for the kind words Alex! :)
I see guys below said most things I think about this track. This is really cool old school disco/dance tune, minimal but it really has some special atmosphere. Keep up the good work!
Hello again. I’m not exactly sure why you’re so surprised I listened to your track or liked it. Maybe you’re reading something into my musical tastes based on some track reviews you’ve read.
However, you’re sort of on the right lines – I don’t like boring, predictable, generic dance music and also often prefer things not to be minimalist but have quite a lot going on (a bit like in most of my tracks).
I’ve listened to loads of dance music over the years and do make a lot of electronic stuff. See my recent tracks Reckful, That Magical Place, 1.21 Gigawatts and P For Pneumatic for lots of use of arps.
“Trust me, there is a ton of music out there that I dont like either.”
I totally agree – most stuff bores me. There’s loads I respect and appreciate that I also find lacking any real spark or character to set it apart from the rest. I think making half-decent music (especially electronic) isn’t really that hard. But making really memorable and moving music can be very hard. Or sometimes it just seems to flow out very easily!
Anyway, your track is a good one and will be greatly enjoyed by people more into minimal dance music as it’s tightly produced and easy to move to.
hi again, just wanted to add something more because this is a great tune. I really like minimal tracks in a way and you did it very well eventhough there's not so many elements in here... But everything sounds balanced and right in place! I mentioned Kraftwerk because this is definitely a bit old-styled 'robotic' music. Never heard about the band from the decription but again the song reminds me of some 80's german electronic. I enjoyed the stylish synth sounds you're using here and very interesting sampled vocals and industrial noises. The reso/cutoff filtering work on the loop makes it sounds very classic and retro indeed. Very nice work on this one! Congratulations. Alex
Thanks again Alex! Maybe you know or maybe not but I am a Kraftwerk fanatic! That's probably why I like Mr.Robot's loops so much. Some of them have that retro, robotic KW sound to them. Like I mentioned, the idea of the track was to keep it tight, minimal. I can tell by your review that you pretty much heard exactly what I was going for. Adding very little elements on top of the track outside of the filtered breaks and the sampled vocal sections was the design. Letting the beat drive the track. I appreciate the comments on the production too. Always room for improvement but I'm trying :)
Really nice to hear from you again. Peace brother.
Greetings. I liked this very early on as it's a classic sort of synth arp with a tight beat and all well produced. Definitely like Moroder.
0:33 synth fill I like.
You are right about it being minimal. However, it's really too minimal for me so I guess I need more variation and action and variety of sounds.
However, loads of people will enjoy this in a club as it has a cool, tight vibe. Easy to move to.
That is Harrison Ford's voice. From the title I guess it must be from Blade Runner. I'm a big Ford fan (well, back when he used to only appear in good films, which he no longer does) though I don't like Blade Runner. I can't say these very minimal vocal snippets help the track much and it's hard to work out what he's saying.
Anyway, good stuff though I need more variety and distinctive parts to set this apart from various other stuff I've heard that sounds quite similar. Additional elements could make it quite memorable but right now it's just solid and decent.
Well, I have to say I'm a little surprised to see you gave it a listen but I'm glad you did.
I appreciate your opinions on the production. Trying to get a wider, more dynamic sound yet still trying to keep it classic sounding, if that makes sense. Always working on the production side. This one is mastered differently from all my other tracks so far and yet I'm experimenting with other methods still and my next track might have a different dynamic from this. Always learning!
As for the music, or genre of music, I'd of been very surprised if you liked it. This isn't really your thing from what I can tell. Minimal is what I'm into and some like it some dont. Trust me, there is a ton of music out there that I dont like either.
hi, really nice production. very stylish and a bit old-fashioned. a groove type reminds me a little of Kraftwerk.
good work on this one - I enjoyed it! Alex
I really liked this track! Minimal and retro. Just the way I like it! :) You introduced little touches of variation just frequently enough to keep up my interest throughout, without detracting from the feel of the track from the repeated synth bass line.
I think the vocal is Harrison Ford in "Clear and Present Danger". He's looking at satellite imagery of a terrorist training camp in North Africa someplace. Am I right? Do I win something if I am? :)
Nice intro, sets the scene for the rest of the track, could see this in a bond type film or car chase theme, sounding great on laptop, which has decent speakers, a good sign that track is mixed and levels are good, no idea what the vocals are but you have used them very well in the mix, track has a very nice drive with the beat and bass lines...very enjoyable listen mate...Fav...Peace n Respect...Mosaic...PS good to drop first review lol...
Description : Feel free to check out the video on YT as well (Alan McLaren Project - Upside Down) of this 6min journey from electronic to rock with some psychedelic moments...
This is my latest, but also one of my earliest tracks.... any feedback is more than welcome, thanks :)
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...
Description : Got some spare time finally...just started on some random ideas basically (lets say kygo meets alan walker). A blend of dubstep,edm,downbeat,tropical etc.
It's still a work in progress, so i would appreciate your honest inputs. Thanks to all those whose loops I have used in here, sorry I don't have time to search them out.
Edit-added some more filthy sounds from my previous tracks and gave it some ending. Advice will be helpful.

The vocals give it this real sic creepy vibe. The synth work is superb. I'd bang this track in my ride any day of the week.
Nice work. FT
