I didn't really know where the track was going when I started out. I was aiming for an ambient sound, but the psy-vibe took over completely, haha!. Thanks for listening.
Love it. 0:00-0:26 sounds really clean and natural compared to the rest of the track so I feel like you should have a similar thing to that play again in the middle somewhere. The bass and kick sound great but do my head in after a while, So I think you should bring that first part in again just to give the listener a short break from it.
But yeah, great track. Probs the best i've heard all morning.
i like the way you work these synths. very nice mixing. it isn't easy to have a lot of lows getting along. Seems you are achieving that. I understand better the idea of psytrance from this track. Of course the trick is to add something new as we go along in the repetitions and you get that. nice work. enjoying to the end! peace.
Really chill piece here Steve. Love the vocals. And off topic, I kind of liked your last avatar pic more. How's mine? For some reason I see both of your different avatar pics simultaneously from the featured section and your profile. Must of just taken a effect maybe. Regardless still cool. Real nice chill vibe to this, blissful. peace
Glad you liked this track. Its weird that you see both avatars atm. I got really bored of my old avatar, so I just changed it to an image on my desktop -- probably will change it again soon though.
Your avatar looks pretty cool, but I could only see what was going on in the image by going to your profile page.
A rainy fade-in intro with some delicate synth sounds building up and then we have a vocal slotted into the mix. She has a soothing, kind of sexy voice.
Some bell-like sounds and then we get to a bass drum beat and some bigger choir vocals as the lead.
Pretty dreamy, far out, escapist stuff here and it all sounds pretty clean. Bass is very subte but that works fine.
2:35 it gets a bit bigger and more dramatic.
3:04 nice held, high vocal and then a return to the spoken word and the rain to finish things off.
Hey cool build up here! That vocal sample sounds nice, and you've mixed it well! For some reason this sounds like it would be great in a movie or at least I would like to see a movie with music like this. Not generally a big fan of choir sounds, but I think you've used them well. Nicely done! oh man i'm hungry now...
Man i really like this one. Im a sucker for choir sounds, which go really nicely where you put them. Especailly at 2:36.
My only suggestion is maybe add one more type of melody somewhere in the middle, so its not too repetitive, but even as it is, i really like it.
Damn, I was listening to the first couple of minutes trying to work out why you thought this track was weird as I found it somewhat beautiful. Then I got my answer around 2:20.
It is weird to only think about frogs and helicopters!
So, first couple of mins have nice pads and an uplifting set of piano chords and other gushing, unfolding pad stuff.
0:30 cello stuff is very warm. My main problem there is that the drums are too dry and everything else has reverb on it so I'd give the drums some reverb. Just a light touch to send them as far out as the drums.
1:13 good dramtic transition as reverse cymbal takes us into another piano-led section.
1:45 string hold and fade is good. And then there's more movement, almost arpeggiation, on a lower string part. Drums are a bit too minimal and simple for me.
Then 2:20 weirdness and then some odd glitching and scratching. Can't say I like it too much but it's definitely weird and trippy. Bit too much of a gimmick for me.
Then we're back to the beautiful stuff, which is what I like about this track but then you go and glitch it up again. How about just making the glitching a lot subtler and less extreme?
4:05 is a good opportunity to do more with the drums but they're the same as at the start. Could really build them to make the track bigger and more powerful. Then vocal sample and scratching is pretty much the same as before.
Overall, a unique track with some bits I really like (but which can be improved) and others I didn't really like (which can also be improved).
nice one , should be more tramsitions and melodies, but still good..and i can say that it has a big potential.. well mixed and sounds good but as I said,you should add melodies..good job, keep it up mate :)
Yeah i like it. It's like the old school trance with lots of nice whooping sounds and epic build up's. I would have liked to have heard you pick the pace up with some tops (hats and snares) but otherwise i like the vibe of it. It's got a relentless hands in the air thumping vibe to it. It just needs a few finishing touches.

I have never written a trance track but I have a suggestion for a transition. At :44 when the drums come in, I'd throw a change in 4 bars after that. Drop a key or whatever. The 2 parts going back and forth, maybe with little variations , leading up to your break at 2:15. Another possibility is expand on that break as well. Keep it as is for a few bars, then have it build up a bit more dramatically to the return of the main theme.
Just my input since you said it was a work in progress and you're looking for suggestions.
Sounds good so far, like to hear it when you feel it's complete. Good luck!
Nicely put together and the mix is good, I just personally feel it drags out and the patterns become a little repetitive. My suggestion would be to have more sections and changes—more events, if you will.
I apologise if I come across overly critical. I would by no means call it a bad track, I enjoyed listening :)
Totally agree. I guess I should have specified in the description that this is a work in progress, and I am looking for feedback as to where the changes should happen. This is just the husk of a track atm.
Hello again! I do like the vibe on this, it makes you want to get up and do something, such as defeat a hoard of vampires...sorry..been a busy netflix week for me ha..Love it though.

Sup man. So I was almost about to take another break from this site but then I listened to this. This really calms me down man, been just a little stressed out lately.
Nothing I can't handle though ha but yea digging the sounds and rework. I can't remember exactly how the original sounds but this version is pretty good. I remember the vocals, you chopped em pretty good. I like the chill vibes alot. Sounds great to me, I guess the vocals could be tweaked a bit but I like the gentleness of them.
There could be a bit more variation and the mix isn't that bad. Keep working bro, peace
Agree with the others, I do like that vocal in the mix, excellent vocal chops as well. The synth kind of didn't make sense to me, it almost sounds a bit dubstep like. Ah! but what's this? I'm liking this break down at the 3:12 mark, I'm a sucker for the piano. And is that some glockenspiel added into the mix? Very nice. Now the end synth is what you should expand on, and are the vocals gated/delayed at the end? If it is, you could maybe expand upon that too. Just some suggestions. Great production. peace
Very cool song in every way! Seems more like chill out or something, but I'm glad I clicked on it all the same. The guitar and vocal parts compliment each other well, and the mixing sounds great on my speakers. I want to echo danke's inquiry regarding the waveform, as I've never really seen a song look like that, especially on Looperman. Have to wonder what was done differently. Either way, was a pleasure to listen, great work! Fav'd
