Thanks for submitting this Craig, I enjoyed listening. Thoughts are: a) the vocal performance sounds good, although there's a bit of a 'strain' to them in some of the more dramatic parts - almost like you're trying to compete with the guitar a bit. I'd be intrigued to hear how it sounds with...

Hi Ari Really love the intro. The vocal effect sounds lovely. Agree that the mouth noises jump out a little. Muffled beat and guitar layers are great. The song kind of shifts into alt rock territory when the first chorus drops - it's nice, but the first verse is still the standout part to me...

Hey Skyline. Thanks for sharing this. Just listened to the latest version. Mix sounds pretty good to me. The panning effect on the opening synth is a little quick and off-putting to me - okay once everything kicks in though. There is almost too much clarity in the mix, if that makes sense...

Thank you Vomit Hat (what a name) - sounds like the bottom end might need a re-think. Pleased to hear the song soothed you!

Hi Mickster, thank you for the feedback - it's much appreciated. I think I get where you're coming from - to be honest, this song was a bit more of a conscious effort at something less 'showy', and more restrained. So I can see how it might come across almost as just a long intro! This is...

Hey Johnny, thank you for the kind words. I'll take a look at the bass - it used to be a lot more bassy, definitely been struggling to tame the low end!

I've not come across the Quay Brothers but after some initial digging their work looks very interesting. Thanks for the heads up - will be digging into them further!

Hey, thanks Jimmy - I appreciate the kind words :) Apologies for the late reply! ---------- Update ---------- Hey, thanks Jimmy - I appreciate the kind words Apologies for the late reply!

Hello folks. A new song here, the approach being similar to my other recent pieces. I've tried to veer away from some familiar patters I was falling into, so have mostly avoided any kind of percussion layers here. What I'd like to know is: - overall, how does the mix sound? It was pretty muddy...

Hey, thanks for sharing! Lots of energy in this song, nice! Very confident vocals (almost old school Chris Cornell-like in places), and I think the synth part is great actually - really swirls along nicely throughout the track. In places the bass sounds just a tad muddy or not quite defined...

Hey Bubba, thanks for sharing this, and the back story to the song - really nice that you got your son on the kit, sounds great! The opening few words instantly reminded me of the "The Killing Moon"! Really like the sound and flow of the bass, really drives the song. I like how high it is in...

Thanks for sharing. Gotta admit this is not my usual kind of genre, but the riff is cool and clearly well thought out. Agree that the snare (and kit in general) sounds a little "flat" to me. For the snare, I'd actually try something with a bit more "thickness" to it. Agree that it could do...

My apologies for the late reply! Really love this piano piece, can certainly hear how it could be fleshed out but also quite like it as a standalone piece. Kinda like stripped down Ludovico Einaudi, if you know his stuff? Yup, kinda gave up on getting into scoring fulltime and now just...

I studied just outside of Brighton, UK, at a little place called Northbrook College. Pursued the media composer route for a little bit but fell out of love with making music - just wasn't getting the opportunity to be fully creative/expressive. It probably helped contribute to my writer's block...

thank you famous beagle :) It's really nice to hear that the music managed to conjure an image in your mind, that's quite satisfying to know actually. Funnily enough, I have a degree in music for film and media - so film scores are definitely an influence!

Hello Luke. Thanks for listening. Yes, your approach is close to what I'm doing at the moment. I'm trying not to make it feel like the most important thing in the world, and so taking the pressure off as you say. I'm also being a little more deliberate about what I'm listening to and how it...

Thanks for listening TripleM. I get where you're coming from with the kick, I think the muffled element was somewhat on purpose - I'm trying to avoid replicating 'standard' drum sounds where possible, so wanted this kick to sit somewhere underneath. To me, its presence is still there and felt -...

yes, everything that comes out of his mouth is bewildering and awe-inspiring. Have you seen/heard this? nihilist penguin clip?

Hey - thank you for the response. The low/no expectations is a good approach. I've gotten better at being less harsh on myself and the sounds I'm making. I came across a piece of advice recently (cannot remember the origin) that said something along the lines of 'you have to treat the art you're...

So nice!
