Musings of a Shitposter

Lol nice, that part right in the center is super sick sounding. I also love that slowed down feel at 1:52 with the piano part.

Lots of unexpected surprises in this track, great work!

maybe one my favourite track titles in a while, very avant garde, lol, its great.

the dog.

cool intro with the big strings and bass. sick breakbeat and piano. oh shit! the vocaloidtron part in the middle is D O P E. I feel like the piano would never sound this perfect if played by a human but the arrangement is super cool! wonder if there is a way to humanize it slightly through some weird swing/quantization/randomization trick. anyway great track v nice!

I did in fact randomize the velocities and offset note starts on the piano.. guess it wasn’t quite enough ..  also .. I think I could have ironed out the 3/4 part after the second B section a little more .. anyways .. thanks for the constructive criticism .. this place is usually lacking in that department

Nice! Makes sense if you did it. I am just thinking based on my playing that the faster it is, the less accurate I would be able to hit it. A more technical player would manage it a bit better but still. I mean in my case I would probably apply my own feel to it which makes it way less perfect cause of a combination of lack of technical ability for fast playing as well as my own preference. If you have a piano you can give it a go and see big_smile anyway still great song!

btw if you want more constructive criticism maybe ask for it in the descriptions. I'm sure more people will be happy to write it, it's just that you don't always want to criticize people's shit esp if they maybe are aware of the issues because of time constraints etc. I sometimes might want it but usually I will know what I DON'T like about my song big_smile whereas it's nice to hear what people do like.

I'd be curious to hear you or someone else play it with their feel.. i can give you the midi if you'd like to have a stab at it :>  it's actually pretty simple... mostly just ii V Is and a sortof broken line cliche for the chorus. part..

True, could be doable! I don't really have much time, so no promises, but send it over and let's see what I can do! I might try it when I set up my piano to do the next song. I'm in between travels now, so I'm not fully set up... (continuing this on discord)

hold tight! melodic dnb
