Waves

By Kedbreak136 on July 24, 2022 3:47 am

A track that started with the very simple guitar, playing major chords but bending the 3rd to give this strange pulsating feel and imbalance in the riff. Then some synth strings, some bass, melodies, a little simple piano line here and there, and seagulls and waves. I tried some little whale samples but that was a tad too much, so took it back. I need some summer vacations.

Small segments of that piano melody, along with the title of the song itself, reminds me a lot of that Dire Dire Docks melody from Super Mario 64 smile I also like the choice to do some bending on one of the strings in the guitar chords, it adds a nice warbly effect without the use of effects pedals.

Random comment first: slowed down seagulls sound exceptionally weird.

This reminds me of Campfire Headphase era BOC which is to say I love it. Yes, need that summer vacation over here also. heart

Sounds great! I concur with the mario connection, I haven’t played many of the games tho I love them, but the theme sounds reminiscent of the music. Also the calm atmosphere smile really soothing!

Great work with the guitars! I adore the rhythm guitar; it has such a lazy vibe to it that feels perfect with the waves.

a nice and dreamy place you show us here. really like your guitartunes. I want more of this stuff.

Takes me right to the beach.  The synth line that becomes really prominent around 1:30 is sufficiently whale-like that I agree the extra whale samples probably weren't necessary. 

Beautiful ocean sounds, and your guitar does remind me to calm summer mornings. I want to stay and relax here smile

you created such a beautifully magical space with a fun yet epic feel to it with this track heart

A peaceful jam to soothe anyone's nerves

Relaxed ambiance, I fell like I am walking on a beach.

love when the synth string rise into the solo melody heart heart

Lovely, soaring on the synth waves. Ah, the beach, glad to go there today with this song!

well this lovely piece gave us a nice mini vacation

Almost a psychedelic vibe when the synth enters.  Very chill feel all round.  Enjoyable indeed.  Summer vibes are good vibes.  smile

I'm getting Vangelis meets NIN vibes between the synth melody and that deep wavey synth that gets introduced halfway.  The seagulls and waves are a nice touch to the overall atmosphere.  I drifted away to this smile

The guitar really has a surfy vibe to it. And not just because of the seagulls. Great mix of pads and chord pattern really elevate at the midpoint.  The synth lead in the middle is somehow very chill and epic at the same time!
