If you have time take a listen and give AtticElla some feedback.
That Intro is killer. The vibe is amazing. I just enjoyed listening to this as a well-composed song. The analogue elements worked well.
¨'m having a sort of musical identity crisis at the moment and I don't know which direction to turn so I'm trying a number of things to see what works. Like throwing paint randomly at a canvas."
My advice to you this (not that you want it or need it), is to avoid trying to genre bounce, to appeal to the audience. but make music that you like to listen to. If it's good, an audience will come along for the ride. But at the end of the day, can you play your tune to and for yourself and enjoy it? I like doing different genres mainly because I become bored. And musically I like to listen to a lot of different things. This was a good tune.
Doing a lot of thinking about this lately. I find comfort on knowing what it is I'm working on genre wise, like a sense of order, a structure. I don't do it to please anyone. No one seems to like genres around here. If I were seeking approval, would I continue trying to categorize music?
I also become bored and genre bounce. But again it's just because of that, boredom. Ironically, if I had a wish to start pleasing people first, I'd switch to a more mainstream genre like regular Hip Hop, RnB, Rap or Trap. Doing house seems to be a niche experience lately and that is the genre that's closest to my heart other than techno. Maybe I'll do some techno next =P
Also, if I were trying to appeal the audience, I'd be putting vocals on all my tracks, it seems. I like to use vocals, don't get me wrong. I have plenty of music with vocals. I just like my instrumentals as well.
So sorry for the long rant. Just had it in my head and wanted it out lol. I truly appreciate your kind comment crucethus. Your feedback is invaluable. Thanks for the listen. =D
the 'swing' kinda threw me off at first, as the snare/clap sounded off-beat to me in the first few seconds lol.
Nonetheless, very well done. Your choice of Instrumentation/Arrangement creates a mellow Soundscape that has an analog-type warmth to it :)
It reminded me of 'hello meteor - obsidian game'. You should check it out, i'm pretty sure that you will like the track & the artist behind it.
Hey zonkymob. That 'swing' is supposed to be a hip hop groove according to ableton live. The off-beat bits are done on purpose. I've heard that technique used in a number of tunes. I guess not everyone finds it interesting.

I checked out hello meteor and they are fantastic! Thank you so much for pointing me to them. I don't know if I'm so good at the hip hop thing, maybe I try this style next.
Yes, isn't that amazing? It's the same as the appeal to produce with analog gear. The digital world can only barely approximate that beautiful warmth. But, for some of us, that's the best we can do.
Thank you so much for taking the time to listen and for the nice comments. It made me very happy to see that you liked my tune. :D
Attic this is a lovely lo-fi piece, beautiful sound, you've not been with us long, yet slotted in to the community seamlessly, like your tracks. I think you bring a female edge to the music if you get were I'm coming from. It's the calming relaxation of your style I like. Again I would like you to bring vox to your work, I don't know if you sing, but if you do, don't be afraid Ella, you can certainly mix so I don't think vox will be difficult for you even if it's somebody else's
dimestop, what a warm and charming comment. Thank you so much, it means a lot to me.
On these tunes I have avoided vocals on purpose because they are typically not used in this particular genre style I'm exploring but I might just try your suggestion on one and see what happens. ;D
Que gran melodía lofi, amigo AtticElla, es esplendido. Has hecho un gran trabajo. Me encanta como suena. Que tengas una buena tarde compañero. Paz y salud.
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.
everything you used is in his place and the the little part on 1:55 is cool.
Great work madam!!

Again all I can say about this track is Brilliant.
Well done

Nice warm timbre choices also. I like all the keyboard interplay, nice breakdown also.
Great work, keep it up.
