Subject: Flood, I have a new song! Care to critique?

Hey Flood! Yesterday, I was getting ice cream with my 80 year old grandpa. He was having surgery the next morning, ie this morning, and I felt sort of rattled at the idea, and when I left him I got the melody for a song in my head.

Here it is, hope you enjoy it. It's sort of rough, I'm going to add a few elements to it, and it could do with some mixing, but this is what I have right now.

Discuss times people you've cared about have gone into the operating room, and post any songs that you've made, or that sum up that feel.

Not my kind of music, but I can think of some others that would be really into this

in·dif·fer·ence
the fact or state of being indifferent; lack of care or concern and empathy demonstrated by an absence of emotional reactions.

Can't really comment on people I care about going into surgery .
Nice song though.I left a comment and a like.

I don't mean to beg for shares, but if you'd show this to them, it would mean the world. If not, then I totally understand, since by this point I'm asking you to blatantly plug my stuff, but if you would, it'd be super cool.

Thanks for listening either way! :D

Thanks! I appreciate it, dude. And, it's not too bad, but just the thought of someone going under with the anesthesia, it makes you wonder like, "what if they don't come out," even if that fear is completely unfounded.

Damn, two days in a row? Nice! Listening now.

Added a preview of my song to soundcloud, BTW.

I personally didn't like the whatever came in at around 1:14

  • 12.03.2012 8:02 PM PDT

Dude, I'm not going to lie, I'm impressed with your stuff.

I just tweeted your YouTube to my network of buddies. We run a small website dedicated to productions of all kinds.

If you're interested in having a website to call home, PM me. Love to chat about getting you your own page and everything.

Bwah! That means a ton, but for now I'm not going to charge for my stuff. Maybe in a few months, I get some stuff, maybe send it in to a label or pay for my own bandcamp, but for now, I make it for free so more people can enjoy it.

Oh, and like a dollar for a song, at the most. Unless it like got deleted and I had to remake it, which happened once.

Dude, i'm gonna go ahead and say you're possibly my favorite electronic music artist (to be fair, i don't listen to very much but still)!

I liked the first two you posted, but this one and the last one were fantastic. I love the mellow feel of them, but you keep the energy going with the beats. Please inform me, on here or soundcloud, when you release your EP. I'd pay for it.

  • 12.03.2012 8:05 PM PDT

In the interest of higher learning, I present my thoughts as I have them in response to your song:

So far sounds light and airy and presents a good beat with some nice melody. I like the sudden pick up thus far, and the change in percussion is quite welcome. Since this has played for a little while like this, I'd actually recommend a slight variation before the added distortion. Maybe a couple of single use sounds for a tiny melody?

The repetitive sound added is slightly too loud in my opinion, and should be lowered, but other than that, it fits its purpose as an extra layer. The drop down to more peace with echoing percussion, while handled well at the beginning, feels slightly awkward with the echo on the percussion being as prominent as it is. Not sure how to fix this, though.

The distortion effect added with the instruments coming in and out was rather interesting. Not sure how I feel about it, but it did sound intriguing. The quiet part added in next is a rather nice end to the song.

Overall fairly catchy and a nice, soothing song. I enjoyed it, and would only recommend a few changes here and there for improvement. Other than those suggestions, it's a solid piece. I might even add it to my regular playlist of songs to listen to.

Thanks for the input, I'd agree with it 100%, I admittedly, and not that this excuses any sloppiness, but rather explains it, rushed through it, I wrote it last night and "polished" it tonight. But thanks a ton, seriously! :D

Thank you so much, it really means a lot to me that you like it so much! Also. Three words: Free Christmas EP.

I doubt you've calmed down with that kind of a rushed sentence, but I'll take your word for it.

Either way, checking out your other work, I've taken a slight liking to "Still Drifting" as a nice song to listen to while driving. Still listening to your other work in the meantime, though. Thus far, Silence VIP is sounding rather interesting, but we'll see how it develops. I have high hopes, though, thus far.

Okay, yes, you got me there. And thanks a ton, I'm glad you like my stuff! Hopefully you'll enjoy what's in the future, then! :D

I like it! My kind of music. Thanks for sharing, good sir!

Can't find it on iTunes.

Yeah, like Door said, and going along with what i said about Still Drifting, this sort of stuff would be great for driving around to. I could see myself blasting this on my ipod when im fourwheeling in the summer.
