Can`t really fault that, it`s lovely and produced nicely. Just good shit, essentially.

Very organic sounding. The pad is maybe just a touch too subtle, could be just a bit more present and up-front, I think. You do the subtle atmospheric thing really well but I think you could take it a bit further and fit some kind of melodic line in there, maybe an arp or something.

Damn good track Alume, i cant really add much about this, lovely atmosphere

Maybe, but just maybe i think some nice field recordings buried in the mix with some ppl talking could work, is something that i can almost hear in this one
WTF?!

That pretty much sums it up right there.

Thanks a bunch guys, nice to hear some feedback again:)

@Amon Derrich, think i use a bongo/congo/timbale/ pack and wrote the patterns in push2. Drums are all about velocity really, placing in the grid yes, but more so velocity imo. You never hit a drum quite the same. I've recently been sampling ghost hits at lower volumes as well, think that might come in handy in the future.

Really sweet intricate rhythms intertwining throughout this track, you really need to pay attention to catch every little sound...

One thing I thought of you could do with the pads, is to use some tremolo and/or vibrato to create some movement/swells in line with the rhythm changes.

Great little tune though.
how far do you want to go

this kind of reminds me of that Hans Teeuwen sketch where he says something along the lines of :
"hey, it's pretty clear there actually are differences,
let's not deny that shit !
some races are just good at all kinds of rhythms and running,
and others are simply good at being the leader of the rest !"

:lol:

I know what you mean man,
but yeah, couldn't help myself when reading this ;)

Quality. I love clarity and sense of space in the production. Also musically it's quite interesting-and goes places I wasn't expecting.
