Zimr Music Posted October 18, 2018 Posted October 18, 2018 I making a track after I woke up to a foggy morning. I am planning to create a short movie out off it where a guy was drawn into this mysterious town. I created this atmospheric layer to blend in with the fog. I then added this bell and the rusty echoing drums. Ideas and suggestions appreciated. MP3 Play / pause JavaScript is required. 0:00 0:00 volume > next menu A_Foggy_Desolate_Town > next Quote
Monarcheon Posted October 18, 2018 Posted October 18, 2018 I feel like the drums aren't totally consistent in their groove. This seems to be a theme with your work and I can never tell if it's intentional. Focusing on D is fine as a drone tone, and the whole step deviations are quite nice, but I feel like it's not quite atmospheric or unsettling without change. Music is not so much about repetition as it is deviation from that repetition; most comp teachers tend to leave that second part out. Quote
Jan-Peter de Jager Posted October 23, 2018 Posted October 23, 2018 I quite like the piece as a beginning of something larger. One of the possibilities is to 1. Add more layers 2. To turn layers on and off. I felt the drums were to much on the foreground, I know tho it can be a thing in a lot of styles. I quite like the twisted way you use the drumgroove. I don't have the problem Monarcheon has as long its a consistent element throughout the whole piece. Find ways to play with this element and you create your own soundworld. I think your in the right track! Quote
