[spam] Nighttime doodle

I was initially trying to make some autechre sounding
beats, but ended up with this. It's mixed so you can listen
to it at a low level, and there are no annoying high pitch
sounds. Just some sweeping pads of lushness, and a beat :)

Hope you enjoy, it's been a long time since i spammed my
stuff here. It's also been a long time since i made some
strictly instrumental stuff. More vocal stuff will be coming
soon, i promise.

Enjoy with a glass of red wine.

Red wine

I don't have any wine but I listened to it with a lack of
lights and a pair of cold feet and hands instead, and it
worked perfectly
Lovely nighttime doodleing :)

I like it. could have used some more high pitched sounds
maybe, the filtered drums are a bit too fuzzy. One of the
chord changes reminds me of the end of Sigur Ros- Heysatan,
which is a good thing

Cool!!! I love Sigur Ros. Maybe the chord change crept into
my subconcious or something. I was aiming for the fuzzy
sound, but maybe it could be executed better. I had just
been listening to it for so long, i wanted to make it easy
on my own ears, you know. Again, thank you very much for
listening.

I dislike red wine but I really enjoyed this track.
Exquisite synth, very nice melody/harmony. However, ditch
the snappy snare, it almost ruins it all! I like your
rolling filtered beat, it sounded very nice.

You might have a point. I considered the very same thing,
but just went with it. Cheers!

Awesome! I felt pretty good about it myself (well, enough to
post it i guess) but it's really great to get some positive
feedback! Really encouraging!

Can you make it longer and ditch those snares? I'd love to
hear a longer version of it.

Also, what is the synth, precisely. I must know so I can
make similar.

to quote CeriJC,

TIA

The sort of "rich" one in the background, is a sample i made
myself. Just played a note and messed with it, and added a
lot of reverb, and then sampled it! (added a little flanger
afterwards)

The "sawy" one, is a "flute" sound from an old computer
system of sorts, that i again sampled. And like, in FLoops,
you can make it take the last snippet of it, and repeat it,
so it acts like a synth (i'm an idiot at explaining this).
But i did that to this actually pretty nasty sounding flute
sound, and just changed the envelopes, added some filter i
think.

I really like using samples that way, as you might have
noticed. If a sound has a little "glitch" in it, it can put
some variation in the sound, rather than played straight
from a softsynth.

Oh, and yeah, i posted it to hear if it was worth working
further on, and it appears so. It could easily be longer in
my world. Maybe make it more intricate, and with some more
melody or something. Yay.

its kinda weird. The beginning could be metroid ish if more
minimal. Other than that its changes were blocky and the
beats could use more linear positioning actually. Overall
sound quality was slightly cheesy, based on my terrible
laptop speakers anyway. Try not listening to it for a couple
days then listening again and see how it sounds to fresh
prince of belair ears.

Valid critique there bro. About the sound quality, i've been
listening to a lot of Ariel pink lately, and i'm just really
beginning to love the fuzzy warm sound he has, so i'm trying
to achieve something similar.
