Fool

I really have to train myself in restraint. Actually i know it but it happened once again that the mix became quite messy. I just can't trash things smile Hope you can enjoy it nevertheless!

Thanks again for listening and the phenomenal weeks so far!

Messy? Not to my ears -- a lot of breathing room in there :-)

i agree, i don't hear the messiness one bit. It can be a bit busy at times yes, but I think that's what draws you in.  Something that makes you listen to it more to discover something you may not have heard on the first listen. I Love how it starts with the piano and sparkly bits bouncing about.  The glitchy brass is suhweet, especially once that second beat kicks in.  I don't know how you make such cool drums sounds.  I do know how you make the drums sound phatter thanks to your kindly shared drum-bus smile  Which I must say thank you very much for!  I decided to throw it on my drum group and it magically brought 4 different racks together to have such a nice punchiness to them.  Thanks again for that and once again another suhweet sounding track!  Love the outro for this!

I agree completely. It's true that your tracks are always full of details.

If I had to remix one of them, I'll probably drop one bar of pure drums or isolated glitch at the end of every series of 16/32 bars so every element would stand out for a moment, but that's a trick that works in my track (and I never achieve that sense of epicness that you have in yours).

great song. really like the arrangement of the piece and the glitch disturbances. (what, perhaps only in my opinion, comes round a little 'messy' is the alltoo-loud reversed-hihat (glitch?) - but don't bother :-) awesome track!

More dreamy than messy. Airy floating feeling.

Loved it! I think the intro sets up the track very nicely, so that although there is a lot going on later it doesn't feel crowded in any way, not to me at least.

crazy elaborate stuff, experimental but mostly rather accessible, interesting juxtapositions happening.

Well that was a fun trip! 

I can see a little of the messiness. It's not quite overwhelming but it's bordering... "Es entgleist fast, aber eben nur fast." It's nice to see you work, so to speak, from week to week.

really liked it! how the multiple layers appear and disappear, the contrast between the short sounds and the evolving continuous ones created a super result, messy made it good!

loving the piano part again! and you say you can't play it? I don't think it depends on how you play it. at least you get some beautiful sound out of it!

Your style is something really inspiring my friend. Always something new in every second, movement and time.

Thank you so much, Dude. Hearing that from a guy with outstanding creative-exploding-super-skills is a real honor. Keep it up!
