Nice - I enjoyed the track, there are some really good transitions and some of the sections sound great.
I'd love to hear a remix of that moody piano sound in a breakbeat / lofi hip hop or a liquid DnB track. But it sounds cool leading into the psy trance as well..
Sounds like your heading in a good direction with your productions - keep it up

thanks for the excellent feedback. i purchased a 26 person focus group, to evaluate the song, and the piano interlude was arguably the most favored part of the track and i kinda liked playing it as well, so your idea of a lofi or liquid DnB track has me thinking. i havent done either genre yet, i think i will give both genres a go, and if i can get anything reasonable down, ill go for the trifecta and do a breakbeat, as you suggest. man, i hope i dont crash and burn trying, lol, but it wouldnt be the first time , or the last time i came up with utter nonsense, lol. thanks!

ive been keeping things very low key as ive been studying my ass off, and writing horrible tracks. i learned you gotta write a whole bunch of shit, before you begin to improve. actually finish tracks. a bunch of them. i appreciate that advice now, after suffering thru a pretty steep learning curve. beginning a producing career after the age of 55 isnt something i can in good conscience recommend, unless your a masochist, a beast, or just dumb like me. after a couple years now of schooling from producertech, and another producer, who shall mercifully remain nameless, i may finally be getting the hang of this producing thingy. ill leave it to your discerning ears, to either throw digital cabbage and other foul things at me, or pronounce me finally listenable....your call. either way, i appreciate you, and will offer my (bad) taste and reflections on your digital candy (tracks) thanks for your sacrifice.

Why do you make music?

General Producer Chat

I started producing to deal with the effects of PTSD, (i was a soldier), and it helped so much that ive stuck with it now for going on 4 years. i was fortunate enough to come across producertech, and ive improved alot, ( my tracks dont suck as much as they did when i first started, lol, and i have them to thank)
