it's really not bad at all for a first attempt! :D there are
bits in it that didn't appeal to me, like the steady bass,
but it's really interesting, especially the start, i liked
that. don't give up! well done :)

i really liked it!
it's very atmospheric and as for the first song, i really
have to say: thumbs up! :)

I definately like the speed of it :).
It's transfers from one to another part very smooth. The
volume of some things is a little loud maybe, and those
sounds are very dry. But I like those large reverb-clouds
you used in it.
My 1st track was not as good as this one :).
I like this tribal rhythm :)

Not bad at all for your first tune. Keep at it. I like the
bass harmonics melody.

Points: 47414 Status: Moderator



its okay.

I agree - some sounds are too loud. especially the percusive
sounds that come in when the melody comes in for the first
time.

the melody is okay, nothing special.

I like the "reverbclouds" too although they're imo not
interesting enough do warrant a 90 sec. intro with them..

it seems the problem is a typical beginners problem - its
way too long.

also because it seems you're doing the same track twice.
when the melody returns nothing really changes.

overall good for a first timer, yeah.

well done neetta =oD

I can't hear it yet cause I'm in work, but I'll definatley
d/l it when I get home

I'm going to try and play around with floops (I've been
saying that for aaaaaages !!!) but I'm still a bit clueless
on how to use the bloody thing =os

yeah me too, the softwares are wayyy too confusing to me so
i went for hardware :D do you play an instrument?

floops looked wayy too scary, i only used softs to effect
and then to compile wavs...

I'm gonna see if I can save and get a keyboard. I was
thinking of a cello but I can prolly have more fun with a
keyboard ;o,

"the melody is okay, nothing special"

Every song or track in its own right is special

Just like we as humans are unique and special, we all got
our little quirks and personalities that makes us a little
different and special

I thought this was a really interesting dark ambient style
piece, some nice atmosphere and dynamics. I really liked
those pulseing springy reverb sounds in the beggining the
best. The song was maybe a little to long, but all in all a
good first track. Good job

Yay!

a cello would RULE :)) but true, the keyboard is more
verssatile. we have alot of cool intruments here in my
house, but i 'd still want a korg-ms20, a moog voyager or at
least a better drum machine :)

Not bad, interesting effects, nice melody. However the
percussion was way too simple.... it is begging some decent
beats. For a first effort, all is excused :D

Yeah FruityLoops may be a little daunting at first, but once
you get into it, it can be very rewarding. Especially if you
do it the hard way and teach yourself everything over the
course of three months.

yeah but i found software that are much much more rewarding
to me. and since i do the actual music making on hardware
soundforge and n-track do the trick for me

Points: 3476 Status: Regular



wow, considering its your first track i think its very well
done!

you said you use hardware for most of it... what equipment?

like other people have said, it has a well developed
ambience/feel to it (partly because the sounds are very well
done and all fit together with each other very nicely imo),
especially good for a first track

i really like the melody.. having to wait so long before it
comes in only makes it better i think

...the one thing i'd suggest is to do more with the rhythm
sounds... to make them more organic/fuzzy(?) sounding to fit
in with the rest of the track

nice neetta, i played it in windows mediaplayer with
visualisation:"Trilogy I - wings" and enjoyed it, sounded
and looked cool :)

i'm gonna put it in my music folder, suppose one day you'll
get famous and don't release this, then i'll have it ..
haha

no serious, i like it, it doesn't remind me of any artist
and that's good i think.. having your own style..
put up some more stuff in the future

keep it up eendje :D

well, the sad trhuth is i used one piece of hardware, a zoom
rhytmtrak 123 drum machine :) for the next track i will also
use more organ sounds i think, to get more diversity.

i really like the intro, sort of rhythmic harsh noise, just
not so harsh.

the drums are ok, melody is alright, but i like how
everything sounds a little distorted

congratulations on your first track, overall a great job for
the first time!

Agenta's Skellington track is oddly reminiscent of

Celluloïd_Mata_-_Mix_Oscillations_-_08_-_Cinematic_Haunts_
of_the_intense_claustrophobic_Goosander_(By_DJ_Speedranch_&
_Janski_Noise),

almost as if I wouldn't be so wrong to say that she could be
the real brains behind Janskie Noise. Am I alone when I say
this?
