[Ambient?] Raining in the East (MP3)

[bvanoudtshoorn]

This is the music I write when I'm stressed. Very simple, very basic - thick and numbing. Synths in Kontakt 3.

You never cease to amaze me, Barry. Haven't you got a life or everyday routines?   [EDIT] I mean your productivity
Now I'm off to listening :wink:

[EDIT] psishock, the link to mp3 is under the word "here"

[bvanoudtshoorn]

@psishock: As Nahkranoth said, you can get the MP3 by clicking on the word "here".

@Nahkranoth: Well, for really small tracks like this, I can knock them out in an hour or two. Larger tracks take longer. Perdition, for example, took a couple of weeks.

oh... lol :lol: i've fallen for this "get it here (source)" the second time of my life. I will be lot more cautios third time. =)

Listening to it, i was expecting a LOT more agressive arproach, when you said you was composing it in angry mood.
I suppose you make terribly hard melodies with ear-cutting sharp sounds, when your in the most calmed mood. =)

[bvanoudtshoorn]

Yep, I tend to have fun with gritty, sharp noises when I'm relaxed. And when I'm stressed, I go down the opposite path. Don't ask me why - I think I'm just odd.

Very strong intro! Good job on that!

The drums are also very neat, although the bass might overpower it a little bit. The background melody is also very cool. Even if the song ended right here, it would be a keeper. Luckelly for me it goes on! yay

Some distant strings in the background to add some melody yet keep the feel from earlier there is a good touch.

At the break, you could do a keychange to give it even more depth. Going say... 2 whole notes up.

The song isn't ambient I'd say. More lounge/chillout with ambient.

Overall a very good song. Some minor issues that could be improved, but nothing that wants me to delete it. Yes, this is a keeper! Good work m8!

Nothing to add to the comments already given.
2 hours to make this, I'm impressed.

Very nice Barry - I like the textures you have in this one.

You reaction makes sense - it sounds like you are trying to relax yourself.
