I was looking through the sytrus machine on Fl studio, searching through the presets for a good idea for tones, and I stumbled upon two, one which made me think of a techno styled bopping noise, and the other which made me think of making a chorus styled "ah" for the main melodies. I used a set form of AABA styling, leaving breaks in the main melody for random interlude loops. Most of the loops were created using the "Riff Machine" in Fl studio, creating little riff lines for the piece.While I was in sytrus I used the Volume and cutoff key mappings so that certain notes can be heard more clearly and so they cut themselves off faster into the actual piece itself. One of my main influences on this piece is that of a band by the name Planet X, which can be heard through the weird space bubbly noises throughout the song

I quite like this, Jared. Im listening to VNV Nation right now and this i could mistake as something by them. I dont really like the intro or outro synths, but once the song gets going the synth sounds much nicer and smoother. I like the random interludes and the very recognizable (A?) pattern. I dont like how at the end its one ending with one synth, then the other synth comes in and starts another ending. Possibly the more bass like synth should be faint but present during the "first ending" and then as the higher pitched synth finishes you go from there. But the way you did it was fine and I enjoyed it. Good work.
ReplyDeleteGreat job, i like your project alot. The beginning has a cool chord progression and i realy like the bounce back and bubbly synth sounds, how did you get that effect? i think that this project needs just one thing though, it needs maybe a rock drum beat or something like that to make this completely epic.
ReplyDeleteI think if there was a kick drum on all four beats this piece would be a lot more solid as a composition.
ReplyDeleteAlso, since the riff itself is somewhat busy, a long sustaining sound (maybe a heavy distorted guitar holding out a big chord) for a few measures at a time in unison with a bass would help.
