Hasheeshian Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Hello people of the internet I'm getting into music production, and after a period of fooling around I've managed to put something together. I personally feel happy with the music, but there's certainly room for improvement (as always..) . Not sure that it sounds very professional, as mixing is my weakest point. Still feel I managed to capture some vibe, so would be fun to hear what you think Feedback is always appreciated. This is the latter of the two tracks I've uploaded https://soundcloud.com/hasheeshian1/rays-of-light-demo-148 This one is older. the writing process was chaotic but I did enjoy it for the most part https://soundcloud.com/hasheeshian1/trolldeg-demo-144 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antic604 Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Wow, that sounded really good! I'm not a real connoisseur of Forest Psy, but "Rays of Light" definitely has all the hallmarks of the genre, with that "mushy" bassline, incidental FX, etc. What I really liked though - and people on this particular forum will appreciate - were the melodic touches: chords, the flute (!!!), the acid line and final synth lead. The only thing I'd work on further is the snare, because it seems to be a plain TB909 sample, so it could use some tweaking - it sticks out too much. Maybe filter out some of the "click", add a reverb or chorus? The 2nd track "Trolldeg" actually sounds even better, wider and clearer somehow and I like the more funkier vibe + all the percussive stuff, but it's more experimental and less melodic. Very fine track, still. Please keep up, you're onto something. I really would consider buying your music if it ever gets released 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hasheeshian Posted January 31, 2017 Author Share Posted January 31, 2017 Thanks for your response! Firstly, I'll look into the snare. I'm glad you enjoyed the tracks, as I play around with sounds I find myself working between two vibes: "funky/playful" and "profound/deep" - a balance between these seem to be a dangerous combination for a dance track So right now I'm trying to make even funkier and weirder stuff, but while keeping the melodic touch! By the way I saw your post about your music, before registering my account. Nice stuff, I loved the goa/psy-playlist but "Hypnotrance" is awesome too! I actually work with trackers too, though in LSDJ on a gameboy Thanks for the kind words! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For my money, that's the right direction - keep it up! Also, thanks for your kind words. I'm now (very) slowly working on doing some new music again, but after all those years I first need to learn (on a basic level) all those "new" things: DAWs, VST, sound synthesis, automation / modulation, mastering, etc. It's great fun & hopefully something interesting comes out of it eventually...
