Deja Vu 392

Post by hummingbird » Mon Oct 27, 2008 6:21 pm

I've been trying to think outside my comfort zone, here's a new one. It's sort of Quirky Dance/Electronica... aiming for film/tv.http://vikkiflawith.com/audio/VIKKI_FLA ... Vu_392.m3u

Hi Vikki, What I like about this track is the beat you get going from about 0:19. I'm not so sure about the pitched synth you have with it though, I'd like to hear an edgy bass with it so it would get some tension. As it stands, I felt there was quite a bit missing - some kind of melodic element and bass to ground it (though as I say, the synth you have with single stabbing notes didn't do it for me). I felt the bell chime at the beginning was out of place and the initial rhythm was hard to grasp because the beats are so far apart. But I would say at 0:19 it kicks in really well. I hope that helps. Georgie

Hey H'bird...you should get out (~side your comfort zone) more often!I liked alot of aspects of this, to be honest. It's not standard electronica, which I think is cool. The very opening bass drum hit seems overly distorted (could be my setup).I'm obviously as far from being knowledgeable in this genre as it gets, so my $0.02 is only that...but my vote would be to keep this version pretty close to as-is, and then tweak away on version #2 as well if you wanted a track closer to the center of the genre. I would keep this version around too.I love the breakdown around 1:12 too.I can totally picture this as the "quirky comedic investigative scene" on a show like The Office, or Bart Simpson breaking into the school, etc. It's got comic tension to it.
Earplugs may be required for anyone over the age of cool.

I'm gonna second the need for bass. But then I'm a bassplayer, I think everything needs more bass, to hell with the cowbell, MORE BASS! (at least some bass)-
