It's rough out there, but music has healing qualities and I hope it did you some good to pour your feels into this.  There's a plaintive feeling to it as well as a sense of urgency from Tone Matrix's big beating heart.

lovely strings to guide us through the heartache.  For me personally it has life changing out of body experience feels.  The strings have such a nice tension with the anxious heart monitor.  Awesome use of the sound and really put me back there for a sec.  excellent work!

Thanks for making this and sharing. It definitely captures the chaos we're living through right now. F all this shit. a better world is possible, and we can't let them take it from us. I really appreciate being in this space and participating in this creative project with you and everyone else on here

This is stunningly beautiful and intense. Not all music is meant to be "liked" - gods forbid, honestly - music tells a story and not every story is a pony ride through fields of cotton candy.

This creates a moment, an emotional state to which anyone can relate in some way and feel a part of them - a hurt within - be seen and heard and understood. It connects that hurt and pain to someone else and makes us feel less alone.

Music is real magic. This is real magic.

That was a great 3 minutes and 28 seconds, just listened in the dark with headphones on, going to listen again.

Really nice, this one certainly has caught a moment and hits quite personal, well done.

Instantly emotional. Great sample use.

Hans Zimmer called he said he wants his neoclassical back

I didn't know what it was until I read the caption but that heartbeat sample really glues it together.

I feel you on the skill development. in WB if I wanna do that I make the whole beat for the week about developing one sub skill and it doesn't feel overwhelming.

I feel you, so much, too much sometimes. Overwhelm!
Feeling this track too. Love how this starts with the heart monitor sound. Really like how this develops, the melody is nice, and the instrumentation of strings and everything is beautiful. Nice piece!
I hear what you said about the skill based creating. I have been kind of opposite, I have skills I want to work on, devices to play with and all that, and figure I'll make track to practice, but every week I just sit down and do whatever comes out, what I'm feeling I guess. I suppose a balance of both will be good.

Great sounds here! The cello, violins, and all these layers that ebb and flow - this really well put together. The track feels alive, breathing. It does speak to my mind but takes me by the hand and asks to sit and feel.

... it's rough times... living through historic times is a trip... but I do feel privileged to have means by which to express myself,

(.づ◡﹏◡)づ.

It definitely did help to just immerse myself in the anxiety.  I'm glad the emotions came through.   

Thank you sir, I knew as soon as I heard the sample when you first shared it that I was gonna build a whole track around it... I didn't know it was going to be one where the chaos of the world came flooding out.  But, thank you again for sharing that sound... it really did help me to deal with let go of a bunch of negative feelings.  <(_ _*)>

Thank you, I'm glad it resonated. 

Yeah it's amazing how packaging these kind of feels up in sounds makes it so much easier to let go to them. 

Same... hard same... and I'm glad that this made you feel...

Music is magik... it's the language of emotion, and I really do feel lucky that I have fluency enough to really be able to share my internal experience with others, it a way that words just don't capture.  And I feel even more privileged to be part of a community of others to heard and be heard by. 

Thank you.

I'm glad you could get lost in it, and thank you.

Thank you, it was a rough one to put together, but it's amazing how much sharing it let me let go of it too. 

Thank you, the first time I heard the sample it unlocked a bunch of emotions, I'm glad I found a way to share that, and do it some kind of justice. 

Thank you, you're too kind. 

Well, you know, you gotta let the music be what it want's to be right?  Like we are very much just the conduit through which music finds it's way into the world... and while developing skills for sure allows us to be a better conduit... at the end of the day, the music was already there, and it's gonna be, what it is... and we music makers are the ones lucky enough to be there when it arrives. 

Thank you so much, I'm glad it speaks to you.  It was definitely one of those tracks, I wasn't sure if anyone would relate to. I'm glad that it landed with so many folks.

Apt title and track for current times, unfortunately. Hope you're hanging in there. Thanks for pushing through, and for making and sharing this.

That heart monitor sound gets old by 1:30, but I understand that's exactly the point of the track. It's the nagging, anxiety-inducing, uncontrollable shit attacking us relentlessly.

You built a beautifully cinematic piece around this. Well-crafted instrumentation there behind the endless chirps. Maybe if you dialed down the heart monitor after the intro and only re-introduced it at the end, I feel like the track wouldn't lose its expressive power, but would gain re-listening potential?

Just read your response to my comment. Had to reply, Yes yes love this. I believe this as well. Well, I try to believe it. It's a great concept. Sometimes hard to really accept I guess, but I hope it's true. Sometimes it feels like it is for sure.

Thank you so much. It's rough out there, but making this definitely helped me process some of it. I hope you're hanging in there as well.

First off, thank you for the thoughtful feedback, I really appreciate you giving it a critical listen! I totally see where you're coming from regarding re-listening potential. But yeah, it being piercing and omnipresent was kind of the point of the track. I ran the heart monitor sample through Baby Audio's Transit 2 so I could morph the timbre of it as the track progressed, trying to make the anxiety evolve rather than just looping statically. But I totally get that it makes for a challenging listen!

Thank you so much, I'm really glad the emotion came through on this one.
