| whatever happened by djLorax | 4 months ago |
| Thanks for the info... i will check them out! | |
| vagabond hero by djLorax | 1 year ago |
| thanks oa. usually i start with drums, or they are a very early part of the track. this tune almost didn't get ANY drums. then i decided to add them to the last pat of the sing. so because i worked on them that way, they were tailored to the song and not the other way around. also oa, thanks for the critique. i thought by having the live upright bass sound going, it would smooth out the elctrified edged of the swirling synths... maybe not enough. it could be a matter of the mixdown. maybe a smoother overall mix will do the trick. i am working on a new version. please check it out when it is released. oh yeah!!! and stay tuned for my newest dance track 'whatever happened'. it should be mixed down for next week's release cycle. |

| i heard the distortion too... i did use a little distorted percussive sound, but i think there is some minor clipping. that is bothersome!!! i hate the export function on garaband, it is hard, (sometimes) to get it to output a sound that is very clean. thanks for the critique ian. i was going to maybe out some vocals on this one and will try and clean up the sound a bit. | |
| Aube by jamescollin | 1 year ago |
 i like the drama of this. it is like an elctrified ending to a brat pack film from the eighties... you know the anthem that plays when the guy finally gets the girl and then it starts raining and then they embrace... a car drives by and you can hear the swish of the tires as it passes... the embrace is deeper, the kisses are linked together like morse code... and then it fades to black, creditsroll and boyfriends try to pretend that they had something in their eye so as not to let on that they actually got a little choked up. |

| too bad she won't live, but then again who does? by Stockholm | 1 year ago |
ambient songs can be dull if not balanced... this is definitely balanced like the molecules of a suspension rolling on a hot plate. beautiful and melodic + chaotic... well done. |

| splashes by IanCarey | 1 year ago |
i imagine that the inside of your head is not made of brains but of many gears of various sizes... some wheels, some dainty arms that sway and click like intermittent crickets. there would a cacophony of sounds that would emit such a random tone that there would be a perfect chaotic rhythm not unlike that of the waves and tides of the ocean. |

| Nothing More Than Our Love by jenglishsr | 1 year ago |
i think that what makes this such a nice tune for me is knowing the intensity of the lyrics... i mean really knowing them! thanks for posting this song. so cathartic, dad! |
|
| in my day by djLorax | 1 year ago |
| no iactually didn't mean for that... when i edited down the song on the hd recorder, those last few bars snuck into the end. impatient final edits. i don't mind it though, it is kinda like one of those infinite loops that people would add to their vinyl tracks. | |
| Dharmadumb by 921 | 1 year ago |
some really great ech-housy feel with a very danceable beat and vibe... my boys can't stop dancing around the room while this plays!!! |

| spirit in me by djLorax | 1 year ago |
| i am a huge fan of harold budd... one of eno's biggest collaborators. harold budd had an amazingly light and simple approach to piano that i have a very huge affinity for. which brings me to a curious coincidence... harold budd and i were both born in the mojave desert harold budd. |

| relativity - feeling it mix by djLorax | 1 year ago |
| thanks guys... i was referring to the previously posted version of this song that was terribly distorted and basically... terrible. it took some time to get the levels right. at this point i am satiated with the song and can't tell anymore. how does the mix sound now? |
|
| relativity - relatively small mix by djLorax | 1 year ago |
| got a new coupla toys for xMas... a iControl (which is great when it works) and an m-Audio O2. i like the icontrol, but it is finicky and probably will be returned. when i get playing on a real keyboard (not the keyboard i type with,) i can settle in and have some fun. i am going to have to remix this one though... distortion on the keyboards. a little too lout overall as well. this one is tricky to mix down, any suggestions? happy new year to you adn yours as well iiwii... lol! |

| She's Your Amphetamine,, by itiswotitis | 2 years ago |
that was so nice. |
|
| Mystique by Partyofone | 2 years ago |
really a top rate sound... sounds excellent at very low volumes! it is a textural romp as opposed to a clever tune, it is the journey not the destination for this one. my only concern is the abruptness of the start (so technically 9.99/ 10). a very nice groove. |
|
| Look to the Horizon by itiswotitis | 2 years ago |
going out on a limb with vocals is very inspiring. widening your range! |
|
| Klopfgeist (Ambient, IDM) by Tauchsieder | 2 years ago |
there is something to be said for drone... although eno would layer drones to bring out more colorful differences, the fact remains that there is a repetition there. i like the idea of an underlying, repeating drone. the pad replaces the repetitive beat in this instance... a paradigm shif. tis definitely a good work. i would like to use this on the compilation. |
|
| Six Moons Of Pluto by RobAstor | 2 years ago |
a rare delight to hear truly ambient music in the spirit of eno et al. though it sounds simplistic, this style of music depends heavily on the producer's ability to feel in time frames much slower than those traditionally associated with music. the part's are all there, part a part b bridge repeat with a fancy ending... just played in a time more readily understood by trees than humans. i love this stuff! |

| flood by djLorax | 2 years ago |
| you can download this and many others... for a very small fee at tuneflow.com http://www.tuneflow.com/artist_profile.php?aid=11412 also check out my compilation attempt at http://www.icompositions.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=4007 not trying to get rich... i definitely have a day job (and a raging case of paranoid schizophrenia!) |

| The Wood Between the Worlds by itiswotitis | 2 years ago |
noisecore to the extreme!!! very, nicely executed. i think i have danced in that forest... in between those worlds once. |
|
| grid restored by IanCarey | 2 years ago |
like the utter originality of it... concept is wunderbar. |
|
| flood by djLorax | 2 years ago |
| a flood of thanks!!! | |
| shadow of love - tone deaf mix by djLorax | 2 years ago |
| thanks for the feedback. i guess the track is pretty rhythmically driven. i am working on a vocal version with itisiwotitis, and before that goes up i will play with a better synth lead. i like that you actually gave a critique... that means a lot. and i agree there are few things in musical life better than dNb, glad you liked the line... | |
| shadow of love by djLorax | 2 years ago |
| i remixed this song, added a synth and droned out the bass a bit... let me know which one you think is better: http://www.icompositions.com/music/song.php?sid=47489 be on the look out for a version of this song with vox by itiswotitis!!! it will be out soon. thanks for the comments to -djlorax |

| DOWN THREE FLOORS by Mikee | 2 years ago |
like a pantomimed argument between two holy men of competing faiths atop a dirty hill they both reckon is holy to themselves. then they both die at the end... i loved the journey, thanks. |
|
| THE DARKNESS by doddster73 | 2 years ago |
squibly, bibly synths are a real great joy of mine. great rhythmic changes, too. |
|
| Greenville by Homebrand | 2 years ago |
so much that works, here... it really inspires me to get back to my more ambient roots... as i have digressed to a more dnb flavored mood lately. it is hard to pin down the best aspect here, maybe the banjo, maybe the whirring, maybe the tastefully distorted bass.... **** i don't know, i just like it. |
|
| Messages from Beyond by Homebrand | 2 years ago |
one of my favorite ambient groups is 'towns of five hundred or less', you are every bit as wonderful as they are to me. |

| Machine Echo by DrasticDragonfly | 2 years ago |
durb durb durb, durb durb durb, dirda dirda durb durb... i know c3po could translate. but for me (someone who loves to watch iranian movies without the subtitles,) this is just fine without the interpreatation. glad to know what a machine echo sounds like. |
|
| Ghost Ship Traveller Part Two by DrasticDragonfly | 2 years ago |
soooohooohooo freakin weird. exactly my cup of tea. nice use of loops, you broke them over your knee and glued them back on splintered wood... well done. |
|
| check on list by IanCarey | 2 years ago |
i love this... i want you to be ona compilation i am putting together.. would you submit this? |
|
| Out in Space by Feline | 2 years ago |
| nice use of the loops. creative interplay. get creative with the software synths!!! you can do this all on your own i am sure... then creativity will REALLY flow. | |
| Algorithm by Balok | 2 years ago |
i like it very much. beautifully minimal. i want to retract the earlier statement, i love this track! |
|
| troubled times by djLorax | 2 years ago |
| the syncopy is frenetic yes, and maybe out of sync on the overlaying synths but in a jazzy, improv sorta way. i appreciate that you noticed the IBM like quality... i was going for the early commodore 64 sound (of which i have mine... my first computer ever stil with the original box). i am glad you liked it. i like to make songs from time to time with those nice andd fat d n b bass lines... check out Shadow of Love if you liked this one. Since it was done straight in the mac, it has a more full sound. troubled times was output from a boss hd recording device which has some quality issues with ouput. |

nice bouncy drums, grooving use of percussion. live guitars? strong work. |

| introspace dub by djLorax | 2 years ago |
| said judah ruled the arts ya know!!! cool, thanks for listening and commenting. | |
| Energiser by RoboScott | 2 years ago |
nice build up. bas line is very awesome. melody is captivating. need more ooomph and evenness to the sound and it is perfection. i would definitely play this song in my set. |
|
| A Happy Tune by RoboScott | 2 years ago |
punchy edge with a mushy center. triumphant morning music! |
|
| LoUnGE DAo BrAZiL by archie7777 | 2 years ago |
 nice composition. very nice loungy feel, succes on that front. there is some sort of scratchy distrtion on the saxophone sound... maybe the volume on that track pushed too hard. otherwise fantastic. like the teaser voice clip... not to overdone, so it makes you want more. |
|
| Happy Keys by loopmeister | 2 years ago |
| ok you know music works when kids dance to it... as i listen to thismy boys are going nuts dancing around the room. blessed gb! my son wants me to download it now. | |
| Kid Friendly Rave by loopmeister | 2 years ago |
| very electro.. very new orderish. works for me. i am a sucker for electro. | |
| shadow of love by djLorax | 2 years ago |
| thanks for the comment... i was doing the pan drum transitions as an experiment, and i think it works well. i drum, can help you create some fantastic drum parts, so weaving them around is ultra slick. just download the trial version and read the help guide... it is fairly intuitive. i try to pay close attention to note velocity and length. then when the layers interact i make sure total volume doesn't peak too high. making little adjustments to the different parts to let the important stuff out. not always easy, and i am always struggling with it. i am not so good at final mixdown stuff. the concept was exactly stream of consciousness... written over the last couple a days while dealing with life and love. thanks again for the comments. |

|
| The Schnook by Bondiman | 2 years ago |
| horn sections are hard to keep happy and strung out, keep the synths, just get better synths. are those live drums? if i can't tell, its gotta be nice. funny thing is that we call my two year old bodhi the schnook after the foghorn leghorn cartoon where the chickenhawks son calls him a loud mouth schnook. so now it is my son's themesong; and everyone needs a themsong | |
| Set it off by n2groove | 2 years ago |
| it has been set off. we must and will collab someday. | |
| Let them talk. (Cover) by n2groove | 2 years ago |
ooooh, ooooh! minimalism, a capella style. great range my friend. yeah, i hear sam cooke too... but still very original sound. |

electro goes ambient with hip hop seasonings... nice... mmm timely lyrics. success. |
|
| Random Walk with Drift by grandtheory | 2 years ago |
this track is like a heart beat on a walk or hike. as you see a neat tree or bird, or see a cool bend in the trail, your heart may not rise in rate but becomes more intense in its pumping. nicely done. |
|
| Black And White (instrumental version) by monospark | 2 years ago |
fierce!!! like it alot. definite new order flavor... like the break to bridge transition alot that comes in near the end. |
