Cheers M. Glad you liked it. Appreciate your kind words. yeh weve got some amazing electronica artists on the Project 5 forum. The standard is so high and we keep each other on our toes.

Yeh the avatar is new. I thought i should go with a close-up shot. Looks pretty mean huh?

Your song creates a wonderful mood. I'm a guitarist who develops severe synth envy when I hear well done electronica pieces such as this. Ever do any soundtrack work? Good job!

Very appealing.
Nice structure. Some electronic music is so repetitive, you've heard the whole piece in 30 seconds, but you've done a nice job of keeping it interesting, by introducing different layers, and textures.
This would make good soundtrack.
Regards,

Thanks Stephen and Jeff. Glad you enjoyed it.

Cheers for listening Paul. I have actually got more compliments about this mix than any other of my songs. They've been asking me how i got such a clean and clear mix. So, i don't know.

I liked this one. Seems this reminds folks of other pieces. This reminds me of Philip Glass' music from Naqoyqatsi. It's interesting and moves a long nicely.

I'm a failed/frustrated guitarist, but i found out i was better with electronica.

i hear you john,

great tune i liked smooth rolling emotions you create through your tracks, reminded me of some of luke slater ep's i have.

ALthough its not much off i think paul might have a point about the highs maybe bringing the forward a little would help to add a little extra
sparkle.

also i wondered if the mids where a little (just a little loud),and perhaps the sounds alittle bit like a metal clash at 5.15 could maybe be alittle further back in the mix perhaps.

but over all i really liked it, I would say your personal sound is developing really quickly, and i can see a vast improvement in overall mix and structure off your pieces over the last year or so john, which give me hope as well

cheers for sharing.

all the best kieran.

comments guys. Thanks.

@ Kieran, Yep i'll probably give this one a bit of a remix in a couple of areas some time in the future, but this was the hardest track i've ever had to mix so far due to a lot of the sounds clashing so it might be a while yet.
I'm getting a lot of people saying i've now got a recognisable and personal sound which is pleasing.

Aphex meets something more friendly.

Sounds a little bit like it was inspired by Aki Tsuyuko's Ongaku****su.

Thanks Schlieren. I'll have to check out Aki Tsuyuko's Ongaku****su as i've not heard it before.

Thanks low_z, glad you enjoyed it.

P5 is wonderful. I spent years not making music on the pc because i could'nt find any software i could get on with. I'd previously been using an Atari STFM with Master Tracks Pro sequencer and varioue bits of hardware. I finished with that about 12 years ago and did'nt make any more music until i discovered project 5 exactly a year ago. It's a great comunity on the p5 board and we've got some great producers of electronica.

Cheers for listening and the nice comments Glen.

What is that sound that comes in just about every measure that sounds something like a low muted horn?

Yeh, quite a few people have said that it sounds like a wind instrument of some kind, but it's a patch from "Dimension" which is a native synth of Project 5 2.00. The patch is called "Amorphous"
