Falling Vase

Ok, right now I'm about one track away of breaking my record of two finished tracks in one year (I'm only half kidding...). Usually when I make music I always end up making loops without intro, progression, ending, etc., or start tunes and never finish them. This challenge is helping me focus on going forward and actually finishing my tracks. Amazing!

So this week I've been mostly working on mixing + mastering, composition (progression, creating different parts that fit and evolve well together), and getting to know Ableton Live better, which I bought less than a month ago.

I always sucked at mastering and never really got into it... (last week my track seemed to be half of the volume of others), so I've read a bit on it and tried to take more time to work on that. Not perfect. I hope to improve and better understand mastering over the weeks.

Any comments are welcome!

Sounds great man, very tight beats and I love the melancholy synth pads - very Golden Axe to my tired ears! I'm in the challenge for the finishing-focus-effect too, hope it's kicking in for you!

wow!

loving the really driving sound you've got going on, esp w/ the percussion

I like the chord progressions, whizzing effects and breakish percussions! And +1 for the retro game feel!

Thanks for the comments. Funnily, I wasn't going for a retro game feel, and still don't really hear it...

Loooved this one!! SciFi landscape! and sounds louder for sure smile

Like the glitchy approach!

Love how the filter closes, reminds of some Pink Floyd track off Wish You Were Here (I believe Welcome To The Machine).

The percussive synths are gorgeous. Downloading.
