Love the groove of the drums and percussion throughout.  So many cool bits of ear candy that are quietly doing there part and not overtaking each other.  Suhweet outro with the swirly bits too.  Nice work!

even the beginning melody is noteworthy -- sounds slightly microtonal, i very much appreciate that. also like the sparsity of FX. very cool.

This is really coll especially with the fact this is all Nanoloop.
Crazy to me that you're able to whip up these sick jams in under a week while having so much going on.

i think i've mentioned this before, but yr tracks really jump out of the speakers in a cool way. even these crappy lil guys i'm listening to. cheers!

It really conveys that sense of an empty neighborhood.
I quite like that ending.

Thanks for the kind words heart NL's eco system really encourages exploration when you get into it. It's hard not to try and squeeze all those micro explorations in

Thank you! I wish microtuning was an option in NL. It's just a slow LFO adjusting slightly adjusting pitch so it is slightly out sometimes. NL Mobile doesn't really have effects so I ended up imitating with sequencer tricks. I'd say the effects part is more of a limited function of the software then my own choosing

It's very "medium is the message" with Nanoloop. Basically the eco system really dictates the form of the songs in Nanoloop.

Thanks! The chiptune background really comes in handy for min maxing resources and NL mobile's environment makes it quick work especially with a larger touch interface like the ipad. I feel like you could get into it from what I know of your work. All the chip foundations are there but with a more graphical approach.

That is very meaningful feedback to me, thank you. Mixing and mastering is one of those things I feel like is a constant learning experience that I am a bit self conscious about.

I mostly work in the box or direct line in. What I find impressive is what both you and cursory do. Mic'd recording is a beast that I wish I was more refined in but you 2 seem to have that dialed in. I am impressed every week by that.

Thank you! That imagery sounds accurate to what I was experiencing when writing it. That and melting away in 100˚F weather. It's all felt a bit alien.

very relatable! emily and i sometimes talking about that... like we'll start to feel some confidence and that we're starting to feel like we know what we're doing and then BOOM back down to earth. sometimes i listen back to older recordings and start to think i should take all these old recordings down and rework them.
the most frustrating is when i spend a bunch of time reworking an old mix and think i have it all spiffed up and then... oh crap, the old one actually sounds better - D:
i do feel like this weekly practice has been good for me though. and besides improving skills it's helped me to accept that hey, this is the best i was able to do right now with the time i had and let go. and i also have to remind myself how much i enjoy other peoples recordings that they might think are really rough or speedtrash or whatever. ultimately (for me at least) it's about if the feeling comes through.
anyway! hope you have a great week, and nice work again on this track
