Voices of the Mind

 
An electronic techno kind-of piece. I am not really well versed with the exact genres, so the purists can decide which one it is  
 
The whole arrangement was initially built using the matrix, then produced and mixed as usual in the track and console views.
This is my first production using the matrix by the way, and I sure am happy with how it builds arrangements.
 
All comments are welcome and will be considered valuable.

Hey, this is well recorded and mixed.  Really like the slight swing in the groove and the sound of the bass.  Around 2m my songwriter brain was kickin' in as that's a really catchy background for a vocal on top.  Good job !!

This is really slick.  Only nit:   The intro is a little too long I feel.  Millenials have the attention span of a gnat.

Thanks David. I agree but it was kind-a deliberate as I wanted the track to grow and evolve to the full paced beats. I had started with a much shorter intro but it sounded like an abrupt build to full pace.

Never really understood the need to put music into little box's of genre's, if the music makes my furry ears smile I do not need to know its box.

This made me ears smile, well recorded and constructed, cool claw tapping groove, pleasant furry ear candy.

Thanks for sharing worth a

Thanks John. Very much the way I think. Never really start a music piece ever in terms of fitting into any genre. It just builds its way to whatever one may want to slot it into or not.
 
Glad you liked it 

Well, that was a pleasant surprise.  I love your arrangement, as it changed directions and kept me off balance.  That's the way to make the most of what you have.

I agree, fantastic. You've made a lot with just a little!  
 
I don't know if you'd consider an add: a very high pitched string (violin or such, or synth string) playing an "E flat" way up top, holding it, sustained. Mixed in medium to low volume. Total background. It's hinted at in the intro (:19) but I don't think I heard it proper in the piece itself? Just an idea, which are like elbows, everyone having at least two, barring mishap.
 
Loved the chill ear candy throughout!

Thanks Tom ! And I do appreciate your suggestion. Yeah the high pitched synth string you hear in the intro is possibly harmonics of the synth pads that I mixed in. But the fundamental freqs of the pads are themselves much lower pitched aimed at providing a subtle bed of pads, hence not much of that cuts through in the main part of the piece. Maybe a much higher pitched fundamental of the pads would do what you suggest

I really liked that...    I don't know the exact genre either but I don't much care.  Just a solid piece with a nice groove, a variety of tones and a clean open mix.    Great use of the Matrix too...

Thanks a lot Steve. Glad you liked the track.
 
All the positive & constructive comments from everyone sure do wonders for confidence.
