i don't like the first a lot, hard to go through for me, especially the second beat i think your beats projects deserve a bit more effort the second was easier to go through and softer to the ears for a morning, you can hear a more professional approach (more familiar software?), even if it sounds a bit to much computer-ish overall the third is my favourite :) |

1. First half: Starts out nice, I'm enjoying your low fi reggea--whatever funk. Maybe goes on a bit too long without enough variation though. Second half swims a bit too much in the lows, the frequencies eventually become stale. 2. Like the drums. Bass itself is straight up too loud and repetitive. You wanna repeat the same loud bar for this long you *must* spice it up somehow and that's a straight up rule. Break it only if your name is Richard D. James. Noodles at 1:28 QUITE nice. You're funky, buddy. Nice job there. Some nice melody in the 2nd half, but overall goes on a bit too long and has too repetitive of a backbone. 3. Fun chiptune style put a smile on my face. The second bit brings back some of that fun reggae and has a nice melody, but again kinda lacks in variation. I mean I hear you dropping out the high end and turning on the delay but it gets a bit old hat over the course of the track. The variety that I would want from these kinds of melodies is extremely difficult to execute without years of practice wrangling melody. Overall I think you did a good job making something more basic. |

hey thanks for listening. yeah first track samples george benson's "give me the night" exclusively. my aim was to make something like a cd skipping but keeping a groove. it gets more fucked up as it goes and kinda clashes but not. which i really like, something that is about to collapse but doesnt is very satisfying to me, as in football (soccer) dribble. nice to know you listen some reggae in this one as in the intro i remember felling quite dubby deeping the snare snippets in reverb, but then never thought of the track like that ever again as i felt quite footworky splicing the little chords over the middle section. its all beat juggling really. of course the second track is bass heavy mate, its called bonus beats! its quite clashing because of polyrythms but still keeps a beat, me thinks. first track on the second link is meant to be a little cheesy i guess its acid house about riding my bike in the streets at night, the second one its a lot of melodies trying to work together. the chiptune thing from the last link is the one im most proud of harmonically. it modulates to the tritone in quite a smooth way (from a secondary dominant) and the melodies arrive to their chord notes in not obvious ways. the second one is just a dance hall acid beat, I meant to sing over it like scracth lee perry but i dont have a microphone atm (if anyone wants to spit over it you are more than walcome). all the tracks were made in reason, the acid track samples stuff i did in garageband. the variation in the music are subtle, basically you are never listening to the same thing twice, but I get what wolfstice means, the tracks dont change abruptly, but im really happy with the way they do change and how that works for me structurally, yeah. thanks a lot for your feedback and for taking the time to take a listen to my stuff cheers |

A lot of what you say comes through in the tracks. There are good bits, and overly repetitive bits for sure. Keep at it. Natural talent doesn't mean shit, it's all practice and mastery. |

Mo' don't like my melodies much either. Now I have this desire to get good enough at melody to make Mohamed cry. You can either shut down and be like "I guess I suck," or flip it like "I'm gonna show these cunts." ;p happy new year |

oh basically becuase i don't understand a shit of music theory, i barely reached some kind of reggae rhythm (with percussive elements) while going through the tracks, but time will come for that as well |
