This song was born one night while listening to the living room clock singing the last strokes of the day...

hello @moraamarolaloba

Striking pulsating synth bass and wonderfully clear vocals.  Lovely, sparse production where your voice is allowed to breathe amongst elements of the soundscape.  Good use of instrumentation which is both inviting and challenging.  There is much to like here.  Well done

Paul

You seem to be on an incredibly productive streak at the moment @moraamarolaloba Yeah, the pulsing synth rhythm is incredible hypnotic and I love the "chatter" in the background and the freaky clock. Every one of your songs takes us on an incredible musical journey Mora  :)

@moraamarolaloba
Such a hypnotising pulse! There’s a lot of suspension. Love it. I think your unique voice works very well here.

Some highlights for me:
• The start of the song with the low BPM pulse and the eerie FM (frequency modulation) sounds
• The mysterious lead synth/guitar at 1:15 (and the solo at the end of the song)
• The echo break and drop in brightness at 1:45

Cheers, Dorian

Hey Mora

Hombre! Me alegra verte por aquí!!

I like this song, I don't know what it has at the end of some syllables that I love!! I'm my first fan, of course!!!
I wanted to ask you, yesterday I recovered some old headphones that had been damaged and that I had repaired, very good for mixing, but when listening to this song with them it gave me the feeling that my voice was a little to the left on the stereo...? In the current helmets I don't have that feeling but... I had doubts... Do you hear the voice in the center well? or not... @Elvis Nash

Hola @Dorian
Gracias!!! for your so detailed comment. thank you so much. Yes, it's Marcus guitar, I put on a FX, mix delay and vibrato, it sounds like melting... aquatic???
I am trying lately to use arrangement with less instruments... it's not easy for me, I am very rococo hahaha
I enjoy too using delay like another instrument, very interesting results.

Simple is better I reckon , Over produced songs are bit annoying . coffee is kicking in.. "Ships In The Harbor"... Tommy Prine , real simple but effective song.
Good job on this

Menos mal chico!!! Gracias, I was thinking all my songs since using the actual headphone
s sounded with my voice not centered!!!
The fish... I remember that time ago I accompanied Marcus fishing, it was exciting to feel the pull of the fishing rod in your hand... but now I'm having problems when it comes to eating, lately I'm very sensitive to the lives of the animals that are killed for us to eat... I'm going to look like an egg or a yogurt or a salad or or or, look, a new song o o o

Catch and release Mora , We could eat them but at 20lbs , soaked in butter milk . might be tuff
Well I'm a bit sensitive , But God made them a fish , Keeps me out of trouble really , fish all day , work on songs .
its much easier going to Safeway , I'm to lazy to clean a fish .
Its the evolution DNA in us , Hunters and gathers . Back to your song , its a great mix . If you can do FX mix , you might to try mixing Dolby Atmos.

Well its better then being chickens cows or pigs in a a slaughterhouse. Even vegetables and fruits we kill everyday. So its not a pleasant experience for them either . So basically something has to die everyday for us to survive . In the case of the fish I catch , Just a slight annoyance. Hunting and fishing resolves the primal urgencies from evolution in man or women .
