Song #30

Another ambient piece. I don't expect most to like it but comments of any kind are welcome.

Hi, it's well produced and i like the chimes ,very relaxing tune. I just think it needs something but can't think what, i'd be inclined to say vocals or bass to sit under it maybe. good work though.

Re: Song #30

I did like this Smiley The arrangement is really nice.
I too think it is missing something though. Some kind of stronger melody running through it whether it be vocal
or another instrument.

It's very nice and relaxing though. Good work  Grin

Re: Song #30

this has a lovely atmosphere, for me the chimes need to meander in and out a bit more - they are so overpowering that having them all the way through gets a bit distracting. Perhaps they could just move up and down in the mix so they aren't always so prominent. Other than that it's a lovely chilled tune, nice to hear some ambient music on the forum. Alice

Re: Song #30

Has the feel of being an extract from a film soundtrack. I agree with rabbit that you could phase the chimes/synth bells in and out to give it movement and aural variation.

Don't be afraid to dig out more synth sounds to expand and develop a piece like this as it moves along. With the huge flexibility in sequencers, and the multitimbrality of synths you can really go to town with synth instrumentals.

Nice start though to a potentially bigger piece.

Re: Song #30

Oh my God! If you kept doing this and in a second loop added some beats, this would sound amazing! Just as it is now sounds nice and lovely but you can make it big and atmospheric, so think about it, you can make it a big explosion of sounds and emotions and then... wash all that off and take us back to sleep and dream


Now the light is dimming, but we're glowing from within. We are shiny.

Hiya,

I agree with Alice, this a lovely piece of music I think though that the chime theme at the beginning becomes too repetitive, perhaps a different instrument taking over the theme with a variation would be nice?  Having said that it was very enjoyable to listen to!

Best wishes

Re: Song #30

hi ‘nomm,
beautiful, your good at these..
you could maybe write a ‘talking’ lyric for it if your not a singer ...? that bowie film about a prison camp come to mind  ?

i think naming your songs would be a good idea, would give the listener a head start in the imagination dept, its a way in.. numbering them leaves them a bit homeless..
but lovely, 
nooms


i may not believe this tomorrow...
