Description : So I really wanted to have a song ready for Halloween. But I've been so busy watching Stranger Things that I almost ran out of time. I managed to pull this track together. It still needs some work. But I think it's acceptable to show you guys. I think it's dark 80's electronic pop, but there's no genre tag for that. So electronic will do.

I think you have done a great job of capturing a particular pop feel from the 80s. Where did you get the vocal for this one?

Regards,

Dan

Very interesting and thoroughly entertaining song you're working here!

The vocals are quite cool, and not the usual for this looperman arena. I enjoyed the performance. The instrumental is also good in that early electronic fashion, most especially the composition as opposed to the sound design, which seems a bit more modern.

I'm not sure what "Stranger" is, but it obviously helped inspire some cool creativity in you, and that can't be bad. It was a fun listen, all the way through! Looking forward to hearing the finished product!

Loving this track mate, so electronic 80s! Your voice is so suited to this type of electronica! If I had one suggestion purely from my selfish taste, I would love to hear it with double time bass with a phaser or something on it, otherwise its classic 80s! Very well done my friend!!

Greetings, Mr. Avalanche.

A droning, windy intro with pulsing bass and a beat. I dig it. Vocals are engaging. But man, this is slick as shit around 1:00 on. Rather impressed with the quality improvement in your stuff since I've been gone.

I'd like to say more, but yeah, I dig it. Very upbeat, and its also done in your unique way of singing possibly dark lyrics to manically jubilant music. Always a joy to listen to yours.

Take care.

Hi Evisma.

It's good to hear from you again. I've always enjoyed listening to your music as well. So your comment really mean a lot.
You also have a point about mixing the maniacal and the jubilant. As long as there's an upbeat, catchy jingle, you can sing whatever dark shit you want. It's amusical loophole that I'm gonna keep using.

Thanks man,
TA

Wow TA!
I thought the same thing during listening to your track: it's an electro pop song
is it your own voice? it's unbelievable as the voice tone is fascinating! the instrumentation is awesome since the first second until the end!
The only regret i would like to say is that you didn't allowed us for a free download lol

i'm really impressed by your work! congrats!

Hey BEEP,
Indeed they are my vocals. I'm glad you like them. Usually I struggle to get a decent take. But this was pretty straight forward for once. As for the download, I'm sorry but I haven't quite finished the mix yet. But since you like it so much, feel free to email me at: toastedavalache@gmail.com
I can send you a copy when it's done :)

Thanks for your kind words.

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.
