Match Made In Heaven - Modular V and Renoise Tracker

By Aisjam on February 27, 2022 10:19 am

So my computer ate my weekly beat submission sunday so mad rush to submit a dog chewed homework piece... However i dig this ditch attempt. Its simple (not the drums) and catchy. so made a little animation to show of what is happening in the background.

Check it out here


Simple but effective

It's a nice one. I dig the video, nice idea to show the tracker and synth and I'm mesmerized by the weird processor shelf thingies.

The piece could use some more structure so it kinda arrives somewhere but then again it also works as a loop. The drums make it a little more interesting but I think with a little chord progression it could actually be a really cool and powerful track, as the synth is indeed pretty catchy!

for some reason this track made me think of this one by the great Pat Metheny, called Are you going with me? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l4jIbLYE3gQ

don't take it the wrong way tho, I am aware it's totally different styles and what it's trying to do. but I kinda felt like Metheny's track doesn't really have a clear melody, but rather a strong progression and a lot of space for improvising. and because the progression is driving it mostly, I thought that in your track could be cool if the progression went through some nice changes just to give it some movement. maybe that's what you already had in mind for it, if so, cool, otherwise also cool smile

and what would be super cool on top is some soloing ;D but yea no pressure!

Actually the more I listen to the other track I realize that it does have a pretty strong melody. it's just not very obvious! which is cool, could be a way to approach it by doing a very subtle thing for a melody. so idk. take from this what you can, I'm sorry for the ramblings! thanks again for the track!
