Vexed Ground

By jimmac on May 16, 2024 2:28 pm

Started with the bass. Couldn't avoid some arps. I won't ever be a tough DNBer.

Oh man the arps - SUCH a good call! They really expand the space this track exists in outside the more intimate drums & bass. Possibly related: I'm a sucker for arps
I love how everything slowly expands and how you build up, then pause, then build some more & pause....like it's a living, breathing creature.

Great work on the sound design, nice crispy drums. Loved all the variations on the main beat. Also the mix sounds really good - spacious and atmospheric.

this is a killer tune. echoing some of the other sentiments already expressed – great sound design and very living / organic feeling to this track.

love that synth line that comes in around 2:45 – nice work!

Very well done, sounds, production, overall vibe and feel... very much enjoying this track!

Thank you so much. I always feel like I never hit that *fullness*. The best is still to come smile

Haha, yea. The vocal chop ear candy aren't exactly finessed.

I should probably give more thought to the naming, but I mean the autonamer is there for a reason!

Oh yeah this rocks! Are there some voice samples in there??
