Very cool, man. There are parts in there that sound very "Kedbreak" but just as much that sounds like you exploring and discovering new territory.

Hope you're doing well -- busy work weeks can be okay, but I find that they're dangerous, should anything else arise. So, most importantly: take care of yourself.

The contrabass moment around 1:16 is great, and the cinematic qualities of this are undeniably awesome. I guess your only failure is the title: this flows gorgeously (and no, this is not a real critique). Beautiful ending, also.

Wow, lots of cool stuff going on here.  Love the vocals you added to this, that low one at 2:00 is so bad ass.

I love the cinematic feeling of it, also showing me what I thought of some music here for years now that some tracks sound better to me without the drums

Not a dig at anyone, just my personal opinion, really

The excellent use of varied sounds takes you on an awesome journey. Love how the dark bass leads into the deep vocals. It had a very ominous and cinematic feel. Well done!

What a journey. Everthing sounds exotic and mysterious. I do not miss anything in this composition. the fragments lay open and visible. A very good track, have some rest though this week.

Great cinematic sound.  Love the cellos and orchestral elements.  The guttural growling sounds are unsettling. I like how you break through the growling with that uplifting voice towards the end.

Those busy work weeks can be brutal.  Hope you get a chance to relax a little soon.  Hang in there!  This is a cool, atmospheric departure.  As others have said, very cinematic.  I think going without drums was the right choice for this particular track.

I feel like we're all hitting that down point where life is catching up with us!  great track though, thrilling idea to have no drums.

kedbreak with no drums is just

ked

ha ha ha

just kedding

ked... ha ha ha 
i think the fragments came together in a really intriguing way! 
i know i'm feeling pretty fragmented right now

No kedding (haha!) - what a change from recent weeks, some nice sounds here. I feel the fragments moving. Great idea to remove drums, constraints can be so inspiring. You know I think I've never done a something with no percussion, or very little at least, something to try,

really appreciate how different this is, I think the constraint really paid off!

2:03 holy shit! this comes together so well!

The soundscape you've built here is amazing

I found this a lovely change of pace from your usual busyness. Nice tones too.
It's tricky once work etc gets busy hey.  I find I'm fine with the creating, it's more the listening to others and commenting that gets hard!

Next week: only drums, only breakbeats. Nice work!!

Yes, I was trying to get out of the easy path and see what else lays in the forest.

Thank you for this nice feedback! Yes busy works drain my whole energy, and inspiration with it. I need to keep the balance.

Ah the low one, that'd be Tuvan throat singing. I really love throat singing and was delighted when I realized that the Dune movie had some of it (during the scene at the home planet of the Sardaukars).

Yeah, right. Drums are like an automatic part of how I approach tracks but so much of the music I enjoy (a lot of soundtracks) does not have a drums like what we'd have in rock. I need to spend more time exploring this and getting comfortable there.

Thank you! These cinematic libraries are great to evocate different atmospheres, without beeing too much in the face of the listener.

Thank you very much!

Ah yes the combination of Tuvan throat singing with arabic aetheral singing - it's like yin and yang, earth and air.

I'm seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. This week should be more balanced at last! Yes I agree that no drums helps this particular track breathe more.

Well, actually "ked" is my nickname given by my friends a long time ago. Last week, I did not feel like kedbreak, more like kedbroken, so i guess that made a lot of sense to remove the break part.

I hope you get some rest and get to glue yourself back together.

I know exactly the feeling. Percussion is often the first thing I go to, and making a track without them felt... vulnerable. How am i gonna hide the boring stuff? That was a good experiment for me.

Thank you!

Thank you!

Oh yeah, I can relate with the commenting part. I try hard to listen to a lot of tracks with attention but there are just SO MANY exciting tracks on weekly beats that I never get the time to go through. Maybe i should do that during an off year - each week go back to the week of the WB of the previous year and continue listening to the tracks.

Ah you are tempting me!

I find this unsettling.

I find this unsettling.

Very spooky sounding, reminds me of something but I can't quite put my finger on what. Only really abstract things come to mind, like this one video game I played a while back where the environment is full of impossible three-dimensional spaces, like looking into a cube and seeing an endless world within and then turning the cube over and seeing someplace completely different. But everything in the game was vividly white negative spaces, so it was like wonderous and unsettling. I don't know, this music is just taking me back to those memories for whatever reason, which is cool

That sounds right.

Oh what a vivid image. I really like that. I wanted to capture this weird vibe, dream like internal logic that is alien to our usual day to day reality. I loved the image you shared there. Do you remember what game that was, it sounds pretty cool?

Yup the game was called Antichamber
