CRATES - WIP

By frank angotti is dead on January 19, 2016 8:47 am

song I started on last-night, still has A LOT of work I needa do to it still. would love all of you to gimme some CC on it, thanks in advance! heart

definitely digging the sounds - glitchy and dark but also upbeat - in terms of CC, I might work a little on the melodies ~75% of the way into the song, but all the leads before and after that section are spot on wink heart

thanks nikola! Yea I found it to be some "jumbled" at times during writing, going to slow it down or change it up totally

Nice and chunky, though I agree with nikola in terms of CC, I think you should just abandon the melody and go 110% noise + distortion, nothing like a curb stomp finnisher.

Killer! Love the driving beat and crunch!

The percussion here is excellent: assaultive impact on the kick and toms, nice crunch on snare and hats. I was a bit surprised at the lead voice, I think because I was expecting something darker/more minor in character, from the menacing bass/percussion. (That doesn't mean you should change it, though--just that was my listening experience.)  I did notice that you didn't bring it back in after you'd used it...then again, this isn't a long piece.  But you might want to think of tying it up by reiterating some of the earlier themes. 

In any case, good piece! You could do a lot of different things starting with a strong percussion track like this.

Filthy drum work. Love it. Distinctly you.
