Yea, so i saw your reply to Mosaic on your made to be broken track. I linked him up to you, can never forget music man. How you been? Yes, I've undergo a name change, for the best. And the absolute last time, I've made a thread about it too if you want a more thorough explanation of why i changed my name. Nothing too deep/complicated or anything. But this track right here is pretty deep, rather phenomenal actually. I also gave you a follow on soundcloud too. Not too keen with that site often though, the loop is always best. Simply for talent like you that push the boundaries, I listened to this whole thing. Log back on often man, this has been a pretty good year for the loop music wise. Alot of originals re-surfacing to bring back the music. But haunting, amazing, beautiful piece here Marius. Absolutely love the violin, and i still think your made to be broken track is the best piano work I've heard on here. Even today. Very skillful. See you around bro, peace
Mate checking this one out because Gramo left link in a review he did for me, so glad he did, this is one very emotional piece, always love tracks with piano and strings, which I try to use in most of my trance piece's, this has so much feelings coming out of it, which isn't always easy to achieve, but have to say you have done so excellently, stunning listen...MASSIVE fav and respect on this piece...Mosaic...
Holy crap, I got an email saying someone reviewed a track of mine on this site and was so shocked I had to respond before going to bed! It's been years since I've been on here, talk about a blast from the past.
Thanks for the kind words and respect, brother! Love to Neo (Gramo now?) for plugging my track after all this time. It's really awesome to know that something I created has stayed with someone and moved them in some way. I feel like I should have some achievement unlocked on my musical journey (Emotionally impacted someone through music- 200G)
Seriously though, it's more touching than I have words for. Thank you so much for reviewing and letting me know it's moved you too!
If you (or anyone else reading this) is interested to know what I've been up to musically the past couple years, I've moved my stuff from here to soundcloud in order to get around the mb limit per upload. My new stuff is really long...
As is, it sounds pretty good to me (would make it a lil longer though).
As for suggestions...
First if this is about ESP and/or divinity I'd personally try to move some elements of this in a Progresse/Goa-Psy Trance direction. To include some screechy synth FX or acidic sounding synth (disregard those suggestions if you are trying to go with more of a Italo/Dream Trance vibe).
Second, with the cosmos/universe aspect of the description I would consider adding more Reverb with a slight decayed Echo (like ya got going on with that one synth sequence) on top of the different parts of the mix, so you can interchange between applying the effect in different spots (from, say, all at the beginning/end to only having them on just the bass here and just the choir synths there, and so on). Though, if you were trying to go with a more dynamic style sound, what I'd do is only add the reverb-echo slightly to all of the instrumentation (say at 15-30 percent). Then I'd bump them up on the vocals (ie, around 50-60 percent) since the song is supposed to be a man with these powers (in effect, turning your vocalist into that man, if it's a guy singin that is). Also consider playing around with going between the raw sounding vocals with stuff that has vocoded effects on 'em (creating a contrast between the man's inner-self and his two persona's, ie, one that's cosmic & powerful and another that's normal and introspective). Just some ideas to play with there. Sounds like you're def heading in the right direction with this. Keep bangin on mate. Lates!
I find working with acapellas especially difficult and rewarding. For many reasons. As in the case with your work, it gives a humanistic feel to some really cool analog rhythms. I like your choice of pads, I personnly like the vocal/choir pads and think they do wonders for the "Ah" factor. You have enough variety to keep this moving a long nicely, great track.
lost for words,considering i also did this piece with my own style.this is awesome dude i can't begin to imagine how you came about to mix/produce such cool instruments for this voxes,totally exquisite.you have outdone yourself on this one.good job pal,flipping good job man.keep it up.
hahaha,come on mathew you know how many people out there who cant sing a note,but went on to make millions?so dont beat urself up man,this is fantastic,all you gotta do is rework on it with a diferent aproach and unleash a killer.technolgy is might,you can do anything.courage
Best piano piece on here man, of course i've said how much i like this before by writing that story, but this is so drawing. it just really pulls me in. beautiful with no limits
This is great! Synth work was very skilled.
I also enjoyed the way you fit the vocals in there, they sound great! Keep up the good work!! I'll be sure to check out more of your stuff.
didn't thought that this track could actually sound somewhat cynically happy o.o but I like it that way for some odd reason oO really nice track and synths Oo does have something trancy in my opinion.
dosn't really sound like Industrial thought - but I have a rather classical view at that so.. yah XD
The vocals on this track were awesome, haha, great job if you did them!! Liked the tempo, very upbeat. I think this would work for a zombie movie these days, absolutely! Great job man!
Great job.personally I feel that electronic music is perfectly fitting for a zombie flick.all of the old school zombie classics from Romero or italian zombie king Lucio Fulci,use electronic music and they work perfect.i also went electronic with my remix of this track.I love the hard driving beat and synth work on this track,and you did a great job of lining up the vocals to the beat,(which is something that I struggled with).Sweet track.Kudos....
This is so awesome! Did you do those vocals, because they rock!? I love the momentum of this track, it's got so much energy! The bass line is especially cool! This reminds me a bit of KMFDM, which is a good thing. Really nicely done my friend!
You play the piano beautifully. Have you ever thought of adding drums as you build on the song? Let's say after the strings you go into a kind of a rythmic version of the same song and then go back to the classical feel at the end.
