I listened to the 256bitrate vers. All the sounds are well
defined and nicely placed. The lead synth line reminds me of
u-ziq.
I really liked the noises at 2:35 to around 3mins they added
some depth and interest. Overall the song didnt really stir
or interest me too much, however I think your production and
technique is excellent. Anyway just an opinion. I'd like to
hear something you made that is more deranged or looser if
that makes any sense. It kind of reminds me of tracks where
you spend so long getting everything sounding really good
that it loses it's initial spark.

Yeah, it was enjoyable, nothing mindblowing or anything, but
really sweet. I like the warmth of the whole track, the mix
feels pretty nice, not too much going on and the stuff that
is going on has good space.. At least acording to these
half-crappy headphones.

The thing im least keen on in this track is the drums, could
be a bit more variating on the overal in my opinion, but I
allways think that and im not very fond of "drum machine -
drums" so im the wrong person to comment them, but the kick
works nicely =D

But, good job yeah. Enjoyable track, would work well as a
last track on an album i think.

I love it, a WARPish kind of style electronica, like it
overall mylittlesister :) Cheers to you. Nice, kind of calm
electronica, melodic, not too much noise, just the necessary
to make it a nice tune..Congrats my friend..Also I've heard
your jazz demo recordings and let me tell you, for me is a
flawless recording. Hope to hear of your jazz band to the
likes of Coltrane, M Davis and even like Chick Corea
Electric Band ;)

thanks for listening, and for your comments :)

i was kind of stuck in two minds with this track, i wanted
to keep the listener interested but didn't want to grab
their attention too much. the whole piece is in a 9/8 time
signature, which was a bit accidental, but i liked it,
however this brought up it's own problems when it came to
the drums - how to make it flow?

definately learnt a few tricks while making this track.

cie jiks mawp, how do you mean 'deranged or looser'? know
any artists/tracks that could provide a good example of
this?

a very pleasant and warm track, Jack -- inventive and
beautifully spaced. the pacing is very good - not perfect
but very good! :p

overall, a notch above the usual XLT fare!

not really thinking of a particular artist just about flow
in music in general. Programming vs playing sort of thing
and how to acheive a sense of liveliness in programming.
Maybe Bilious Paths or Jega: Geometry. are albums that are
programmed but are able to get to the listener on lots of
different levels.

'looser' makes me think of swing, or moving out of strict
timings. lengthening and shortening note lengths, so that
they are not exact.

yeah exactly...

nudging the snares, turning off "snap to", changing the
velocity etc

Also listening to your songs as you make them and looking
away from the screen! I get so locked in by staring at the
sequencer and making things 'visually correct'.

Whats apps you using. nice use of reverb. I dont like the
snare, but thats about it. too 'snareish' if you know what i
mean. sounds like a little shot of white noise. the
sidestick one that seems to take over at 1:47 is cool.

it's all in fl5. yeah, i wasn't too keen on the generic
snare sound, this track was going to go all acid-like, but
fortunately i ventured away from that. that snare was the
only thing left really.

Great choon! Genre bending, got a bit of a country feel
almost with the rising pitch like steel guitars in the
background. Makes me think of big skies.

dude sounds like u have some technical chops. i dug the
synth lines, but the drums werent doing it for me. they were
farr too simplistic and generic sounding.

This track is brilliant, I really enjoyed it. Fantastic
production, I thought the drums were interesting, it shifts
effortlessly in pace and flows beautifully. I agree with
fleetmouse reminds me of big skies, maybe with a touch of
Tony Hart gallery music. (No bad thing) "And here is a lion
created in pastel by little Rebecca aged 3 in Cheshire"

Great job mylittle sister!

haha, tony hart? he was born in maidstone! :D

thanks for listening all :) and for your feedback.

i'm still not sure about "simplistic drums" comments,
there's quite a lot of small details that i put in - maybe
too small. hmm.
