Wow I wish I had a headset to watch that, it looks awesome. Reminded me a little of Floating Point's "Silhouettes" video, although the two are quite different. Love the song too, awesome production - what an AMAZING snare sound!




 
Thanks so much sharke. It's actually makes me really really happy that you mentioned that snare... The whole point of this song when I started it was... "I want to make a track around a big huge snare." Haha. Got me to mess around with parallel processing and all that to get it right (especially in the 2nd half when I bring all the other instruments in and I wanted it to continue to be the lead).
 
And thanks everyone else who checked it out. Glad you guys are digging it :-)

I probably don't have the right headphones. Sounded muddy to me. Nevertheless, that's on my end. The arrangement has a cool kind of tension that fits the very nifty 360 video. Really cool work! I liked it.

Thanks for checking it out Dean! It's definitely a very bass-heavy dark track, so it's possible it came across a little muddy, but I think overall the mix has been sounding good in most of the settings I've tried it in, and now that it's out, it is what it is :-) I'm constantly trying to improve my mixing though

That's what I'm doing at the moment with my 2016 collection-going back and seeing what I can do to improve. Putting a piece together takes some time, and after a while ones ears just had enough of the same thing. So, going back has the advantage of a fresh approach. Also allows one time to absorb the work as a near completed project and perhaps make some additional/better recordings. Personally, I think music has a life of its own and can evolve with no end in sight. Hence, I guess a project is never over until one becomes bored and disinterested in going further.
Stay well!
