I just flat out follow you on soundcloud and yeah I'm really digging the '83 vibe of this song. Its got a tad bit of naked eyes but not really.. just the bassline and a few of those hollow brass sounds. Are those the vermona? Its a great freakin sound. Digging the singing too a lot.


I just did this today.. got this song stuck in my head after watching a six feet under episode where Nate dies.. this is the song playing in his dream as he gets high with David and then goes to the beach to go 'swimming'

I re-uploaded a beat I made last year to Souncloud again and someone commented on it and the comment is invisible and it's driving me insane. Was it any of you guys?

I thought I posted something there. No idea why it isn't showing. I can't remember my exact comment, but I've posted a new one. Nice work as usual :)

its funny to realize that some on soundcloud and some here are the same people. makes sense i guess when you think we all share here, but i didnt realize that 3 of you here were in fact 3 people... there... yes! the musical singularity! :D

Yup. I've stumbled upon some great music on SC and found out since that the responsible parties are on here!



In other news, I've updated/ tweaked Fairy Fort Campfire, as I was getting a fairly mixed response from various sources. It's probably the least accessible thing I've done in a while. I'd love to hear your thoughts guys/ gals.

Lots of great music posted lately! I was listening to a couple of your guys tracks last night, then started a new one and ended up staying up all night finishing it. Well it still needs a little detail work but I'm pretty happy with it -

this is really interesting, I like the experimental sound. It's almost on the verge of eerie but not quite at the same time. Also I like the warmth and textural stuff.

Currently working on a 90 minute collection thing Ima call the tape sounds collection.. lol. Here's a song I finished today and I think it came out pretty well. I might work on it a bit more though.

Thanks for taking the time to have a listen. I really appreciate it :)

I really think this is an ace track. I think the drum pattern is fine, but the drum sound is too crisp, and could do with some sort of dirtying up. Some multiband distortion or something, and maybe drop it down in the mix a bit.

The track is way too good for those drums. That's a compliment by the way. Really liked it. The other sounds are great and it feels so retro.

Thanks man I appreciate it. Yeah I agree the drums are a little bit to trebly and could have a little less volume but unfortunately logic decided to be a piece of shit and crash so I'm stuck with this version.. I might do some more eq work on it though which could help. But thanks, I'm pretty proud with how this came out.

747, I'll give your demo a listen tomorrow as its 1 a.m here and had a heavy night last night, haha.

This is the first song-like thing I've done in literally years and am looking to release once finished, so if ANYONE has ANY suggestions, particularly structure-wise which I am not great with, please please do. I'll happily return the favour :)



Also shout out to TTK for his nice comments. if the favour needs returning please just holler x

This is quite nice and athmospheric. It could use more theme though, like a melody, or something that sets it appart. That bassline needs some sub and the beat some punch, other then that fantastic track :)

I left you a few comments on Soundcloud. Big picture I would suggest some more variation to break it up from being repetitive, whether that means bringing in new elements or using filtering and effects to create changes in the sound narrative. To my ears it could use some additional percussion coming in to add complexity to the beat and change it up to progress the song.
