Another deluge creation, I think my mastering has improved from last week but very open to feedback!

syrupy and introspective, liking the layered washes of chords! reminds me that i should get me a deluge at some point for some computerless jamming
the way that DO DO DO DO comes in over the top of the mix is just sublime
I like what you're doing with the drums, don't be afraid to show it.

Lovely main lead.. really nice sounds, all deluge? Fantastic what you get out of it. Need to get my deluge out for a spin again...
Love it! Made me think about: what if the Ottoman Empire colonised space?
Thanks

Yo, thanks for noticing. I've been working on snare ghost notes. My drums could use more work and are the weakest part of my song making but this inspires me to take it further. Thanks for listening and inspiring

Yes, all Deluge sounds! The community release automation feature really helped this one come alive and give it that spaced out, washed out feel. Thanks for listening and commenting!

that descending end to the sections -- just excellent!
I feel like I struggle staying within the bounds of traditional song structure but nice to know there are definable sections. Thanks for listening to yet another one of my tunes!
i want this playing on repeat the next time i brave the cold to shovel the snow. everything worked together really nicely, well done!
Perfect while I was taking my dog for a stroll under the night sky in my neighborhood
This has a great atmosphere to it with those synths washing around and the bass pumping away.

Thank you so much!
Love the deluge, I have been eyeing this for a long time, but afraid I already have too many choices. Great track.
The sheer amount of groove in this enough to add to the favorites for this week, but there's so much else going on—strong melodics, great instrumentation, fantastic use of stereo, and the right amount of variety to get comfortable but never boring.

Wow thanks so much! So glad it makes your favorite list and really appreciate the compliments. 🙏
Reminds a bit of Life Round Here by James Blake with the spicy chords and fried synth. Absolutely love it!
Love the way the chords kind of wail & bleed in-and-out. Great tonework.
Tight! The bassline lives really nicely under the floating synths. The re-trig / delay on your snare(?) are also a great organic addition to the track.

Thanks! The Deluge recently added more automation controls so I think messing around with that I was able to create that affect. Really happy with how it turned out.

Thanks for noticing the drums! I've been working on my ghost note programming. I'm not a drummer so my progress is slow but I like how much those little things add to programmed beats. Thanks for the listen and comment!
Really good feel to this. The drums have a portishead vibe to them. I love the warble of the synths, the way the 2nd leads plays with it and the overall feel. Great stuff!
Really cool vibe on this one. It oddly reminds me of the kind of confusion that only occurs in a dream, or from drinking too much cough syrup. Don't take that the wrong way though.
