corticalstim - a minor problem

Oh man, that was so 1975 Italian horror-comedy theme music!

Nice track, same kind of style as the other two tracks on zebox.
I like the way it builds up, the harpsichord sounds work nicely with the violin sounds, and they do give it a soundtrack/theme to a game/film quality though I must admit. The harp? plucking is a nice touch for the end of the track. Is there anywhere else I can hear your music apart from zebox?

Not bad but those strings which come in at 1.19 are way too harsh and abrupt sounding. You need a slightly softer sound. Not sure whether I'd say it needs anything more. The combo of the keys and strings is pretty sweet all the same. I'm enjoying it but I wish the strings weren't so harsh. At the moment I'm feeling this.

Have been listening to your other tracks Corticalstim.
'el diablos' is very nice. Love its vibe. I'm gutted only 1.40 of it :-(. Damn can you complete it? This track has a real awesome feel to it. Yeah I was listening to it and thinking yeah this is groovy. It started off with some slowmo hip hop beats but built into a 2 step vibe. Great build up and great vibe to this track. Hope you can complete it 'cause I'd love to hear a finalised version. Great notes.

what he said.
the strings are just a bit too in-your-face. other than that, very nice.
i've loved pizzi cellos ever since girl/boy song. :)

thanks for listening
maybe ill work on a "breakbeat" version with some changes to the instruments - ill try and smoothen out the strings
and 'el diablos' is done for now, i dont plan on extending it anytime too soon, but if i do i will let you know.

This track does sound kinda like a 60s/70s film score (certainly the early part).
The strings sound too synthetic and just a bit harsh as result. They need softening. You need strings with less brightness. They're slightly better now but could be even better I reckon.

Well come on Man, you did ask us to tell you whether we thought your edit would sound better. Thats the point of putting tracks up on the board isn't it? :-(

I love the drums!
sounded very midi-ish, but that just adds to the FFII-feel...

Strings are just a tad overpowering, drop the gain and it'll sound much more in line with everything else
Very simple sounding song, but complicated stuff going on. that's really hard to do well, nice job
A little drawn out for me... just a simple chord change, even just kicking everything up a third or something in the middle. I think as is it could be an awesome piece if you shortened it up, tightened the transitions. Just a tiny change in the ride cymbol as it plays would be nice too, that makes it feel more repetitive than it really is since the frequency is isolated
The pizzi chelli are nifty. Nice track
