Sunrise on the shore

By Kedbreak136 on November 13, 2022 11:11 am

A quiet track featuring birds! Seagulls & a lonely hawk. As I was playing with sounds for this track, I found that Massive X preset called "Ramming sounds" that sounded like waves. This tracks sounds to me like sitting on the shore of a sand beach during fall, when the wind blows and the sand flies, and watching the sun rise slowly and life waking up around oneself. But that's just me.

Incidentally, that's what my song is, except it's a recording and it's sunset, but otherwise same idea
Yours is definitely better tho

That must be a really lonely hawk, wracked with alternating pangs (waves, actually) of nostalgia, tenderness, and regret.   tongue

Great work & fantastic arrangement―it gets really intense!

Expressed with such a commanding cinematic presence! heart

I feel transfered to a baroque epoche, when I listen to it... there are so fine classical elements in your song. really beautifully composed.

That is an epic sunrise.  Really cool to hear all the different elements at play here and they interact with each other so well.  And the birds really sell that being at the beach feeling.

The opening chords gave me some scary Rich.D.James vibes but then that signature Kedbreak sound was introduced along with the classical feels.  Love the sound of those orchestra swells.  That is one epic sunrise smile

1 min and I am bracing myself for the blast beats, the sound of people screaming, the chainsaw-yielding, fire-breathing dragon....

it didn't happen!

smile

the harpsichord was beautiful, very tender, wouldn't mind more of that.  Love the birds!

A nice trip to a beach, back in the past times where we wheeled ye old harpsichord down for some proper music performing. Very cool

Great description setting the mood and scene for the music, it makes such a difference reading it while listening.  I initially thought this was going to be a quiet ambient track but it builds up and has great energy, nice find with the preset definitely sounds like waves crashing.

Quite a captivating journey as all those melodies really carry it through nicely. Very well executed.  Bravo!

This has a fugue-like quality in the composition with that repeating theme set up by those lovely cellos. I like how the theme takes on different tempos sometimes seeming more urgent and then rolling into more majestic cresting waves of strings.  That hawk gets around.  I believe he passed through one of my tracks earlier this year smile

It's fun to get some synchronicity. Maybe it's the time of the year for reflection and some nostalgia. Or it's just pure randomness. But anyway this is still fun. Thank you for your nice comment!

Seen from below, life at the top of the clouds seems exciting, but it's pretty lonely up there. smile

Thank you! I think i have been more influenced by baroque music than what i'd have thought. I keep getting into baroque patterns and hapsichords. The universe is trying to tell me something. Time to make a baroque punk band.

Thank you! I did get a tad overhanded on the romatinc vibe, but that was all for the bird. heart

Thank you very much! I had been working on my orchestra sounds. I'd never realized until recently how important volume sculpting is for orchestra swells (i mean actually having waves of volumes going down and up) - that's what really sells the organic aspect and the dynamic aspect of an orchestra. I am glad we have weekly beats to experiment and iterate!

Haha i was just in a contemplative mood, so i did not go for my usual "5 tracks of hardcore dreams on top of each other". The birds always welcome to my tracks.

With weekly beats, we have to create so much and yet do not feel the need to really be attached to any track, so it makes the playful aspect of music creation (random samples, exploring synths) much easier. I love just writing a line on a synth and changing presets to land on something weird that takes it to a different place. That wave crashing was a bit like that.

Yes, that is indeed the same hawk that we got in the "The Last Convoy" track. It's a very helpful hawk. Thank you for the nice comment!

1: I would like to join that band.
2: Any baroque music recommendations?

Nice composition! Synths and ambience and the lush strings sound super dope, but cello and piano sound a bit uncanny to me because of the perfect quantization. Still, with all the elements together, it works out and it is an enjoyable listen!

Just wanna say that if it was me I would be stuck trying to figure out how to make the cello and the piano  sound less robotic/uncanny and I would never get to the point of making the full track. I got stuck numerous times in this way. So it's awesome that you managed to get it done! I'm taking notes smile

wow this feel so epic!!! good day sunshine!

Pretty w/ a hint of bitcrush on the soul heart

Maaannnn, that cello melody is gorgeous, sounds so lonely and sorrowful. It's a very cool change of pace to hear a subdued, chillax Kedbreak track.
