Given Tides

Still find it difficult to switch gears into writing music. I hope next week will be a bit easier, I guess this is what Weeklybeats is for. Made with M8 and some chords from my beloved OB-6

Good stuff, love this. Sounds lush.

super rich sounds and melodies, love it!

For a second I forgot that the title of the track was "Given Tides" and I was sitting here thinking "I feel like I'm laying in a pool of water, gently rocking as the waves swell beneath me". I am especially super into the little sweeping break at 1:55. I'll have to steal that concept sometime and slide it into my music somewhere wink

Agreed the break at 1:55 is a great idea, composes well with the rest of the piece while being a distinct momentary interlude.

Love the piece, meditative, pensive. Embers.

Dreamy!! heart

Oof, this is fantastic

Damn, this texture is lush as heck! I dream of creating such a complex and effective synthscape. Well done, gorgeous arrangement

wow that break was wonderful

mate, if this is you out of gear, your clean shift is going to be bonkers.

sounds lovely smile great vide & cool aesthetics

absolutely gorgeous!

oof when that first chord comes in veeryyyyy niiiicceeee

0:19 oh my god. What a fantastic soundscape.. I am so envious of that distortion, so well placed!

Excellent

Yes, same here. I don't have the same motivation as I had at the start of 2020, but I think it worth it to try to record some stuff. Had close to pretty much a total music break last year. Did jam a little bit with friends, didn't record much, didn't compose at all.

Very nice cinematic ambiance there.

I'm floored

Viiiiiiiiibez

Nice work man! Love the atmosphere here.

wow, the reversed melodies are so awesome.  the beat came in on a surprise to me, loved that.  You have interesting melodic and rhythmic things happening in low/mid/high ranges.  well done.

+1

ethereal for sure - got some Beacon vibes from this. and +1 all the talk about lushness and fulltextured soundscape - wow

Really nice - you build a great sonic landscape in this one. The bell like sound from the intro, which kinda sounds like a processed string instrument is very nice, it brings this exotic element and I like how you revert it here and there. Dreamy, cinematic. Loved it.

Great!!

Still pretty good though, but I guess that's what happens when you make musical instruments, rather than music.
