Hello,

I would really like to get some thoughts about my new song. Right now I feel it's the best track I've ever made.. and it's probably the last track I make before I'm in the army.

It's chillout.. 5 mins long.

And enjoy a gin & tonic to this. Set volume to level 11.

Oh, the track is called Volumen Seis

Beautifull stuff proximus, drums kick in- hell yeah. excellent, nice keys... I'd love to give productive critism but can't. This really is begging for a click on the checkmark V ;)

-M-

(Now you have this out of your system you should well be ready for the army, they can't use this type of mood there, you know   Good luck.)

thanks fellas  

I'm gonna do it live at the graduation party next wednsday. Really looking forward to it, I'm gonna tweak the cutoff of that synth line and play those chords. I don't dare playing that other melody.

That's as live as it gets  

Stupid thing is that I have to bring my comp, but I don't care.

Beautiful track dude. Only saying that so you won't shoot me. :P This is nice. Send it out to recording companies!

Drag to hear you won't be making tracks for a while. Army huh? Volunteer or mandatory?

Great groove. One of the best things I've heard here. Chillout is nice. Neat way of ending it too. I liked the feeling I got from the track.

Thanks mate, it means a lot  

The military service is mandatory, but I've applied for military school which is not mandatatory because I thought I'd try to do the best out of it. So, I'm stuck for 2 years.. if I manage to complete the education. Hehe, as far as I know I might be back after 1 week :D

But if I manage to complete they education they will probably give me my own room the second year, which is cool because then I can bring my studio.  

Cheers!

2 years? Oh well. It'll probably seem long while you're in it but when it's over it'll seem like it flew by. When will the day come that we don't need people spending time in the military?

thanks xoxos. It probably could need some more notes and I did try, but everything I tried didn't work

Oh yeah, I like this a lot. Works a bit better as a sonic ensemble than some of the earlier tracks - very similar orchestration, say, to Past Times, and it's got that same chord sequence, but it works far better.

I really like this kind of thing - small doses, obviously - but it's really good. A week and I'm back at home in my studio, doing the same hopefully.

And I'm really craving a Nova having heard some of your synth parts...

thanks for the feedback  

I think the nova is excellent, it's my work horse. I have to admit it took a long time before I really started to like it, I guess I was a bit disappointed with the presets when I first got it. You know what they say: easy come easy go

For me it's really really hands-on, some of my patches are made in 20 secs. Just take 3 saw osc. , run them through filter a envelope and add some reverb and delay.. easy  

That is how I made the synth arpeggio in Volumen Seis.

The pad is a edited preset from the Microwave XT.

Some of the windchime sounds are from the nova too.
