Nice, and laid back. Left me wanting more. Could really open up into something. I'd get some pads coming in. :)

Lovely synths as always. Nice minimalist type track.

This is really cool, reminds me of the opening track on one of flying lotus's works.

And thanks GH and 747, I appreciate it.

Originally I was going to make it a more full song but I decided it works as a sorta interlude thing so Ima keep it short and sweet.

Real original sound there, ... is that you singing?

also I like the shuffling percussion, and how the track kinda has this real uneasy rhythm, never really settles.

That sound that sounds almost like a glockenspiel or a xylophone that comes in in the second half is real cool.

super awesome mix of sounds and ideas, it's like weird almost childish in its approach to electronica, with a dash of indie rock drumming and singing. I'm very interested to see where this project goes.

Wow, thanks for your comments! The vocal is me singing with some processing in Absynth, and the sound you're referring to is a kalimba (thumb piano).

Hadn't really thought past this track yet but you're inspiring me to take it further :)

Very chill. I like when the beat comes in halfway through to give it a steady current yet it's still a bit floaty on top.

Something in a very different style from most people on this board this time.
Oh and thats my vocals on this one too :shock: .
Also you can hear the sounds of the Vermona Mono Lancet everywhere.

Heavy Royksopp influences on this one:

oh jesus christ your music makes me melt, song of the year.

please release an album. please. i need an album from you.

I love the mix of like Hot Chip and Royksopp sounds, the whole dance music with heart and brain instead of dick and feet is something I'm absolutely loving right now so this came at the best possible moment. There's also a sound which makes it distinctly Skywave. Everything is perfect from the vocals (Are they yours?), the beat, the subtle hand claps and open hi hat, how the melodies gradually build and fall through out the track, the slightly off keyboard synths, the spacey sound effects, the warping bubbly bass, those odd chord jabs, and the part where the beat drops out and then it comes back with that beautiful solo to close out the track is just wonderful.

This track is flawless.

"Pantomime"
Going to segue into the last song at my show.
First time I've been as melodic as this.
First time I've been as stripped, production-wise as this.
Listens, so far, welcome.

Agreed... I love your recent serie of tunes with vocals! Beautiful work again.
