Sly Deal

By orangedrink on March 27, 2016 6:33 pm

Been working on this track for about 5 years?!?!?!  Going to put it on an album, and finally finished it, thanks to the WB mentality!


I have an infinite delay loop thing going, and each octave hit of the synth multiplies the delay, creating a different tone each time.  That's probably only exciting to me and other music nerds.  But that's my target audience!  I'm available for constructive criticism, as always.


I really hope to shoot a music video for this one day.


The opening sound is you being distracted by a disturbing image far in the distance, while operating a motor vehicle.  And then you crash.  They're all conspiring against you.  You had no idea.  It's a sly deal.


{The opening sound is also from the last sound of my previous album.  This will be the first song of the next album, continuing the storyline on a different thread.}

Love the bass line! smile. I love the beat change ups too.

Those drum variations are sick! Awesome track, groovin' along the whole time! big_smile

Ouu yeah, that bassline!

Yo yo guys, put your hands up up up up come on come on come on! heart

I really like the bass line the first time the beat drops out (not to mention when it returns later), but the whole track is super dope.

the dopest!

Yeah! Head bobbing here. Nice sounds. Like the story.

Thank you all!!!  Feeling relieved to get some kind words on this - I've been overly obsessing for years!  WE DID IT!

Absolutely massive kick.  That long delay sound is a great, disorienting sonic hook. Very cool--looking forward to hearing more.

beats sound great! i think if you could do an envelope on the main effect and make it ebb and flow more, even cutting out for a bit it would sound even more rad!

Damn.

I love all of the textures you have here. Subtle and ominous.

Glad you liked the disorientation and the kick!
