Instrumental

Come Leave Behind. Instrumental. Nearly all synthesizer sounds are A4. Also heard is the Mopho Keyboard.

Nervous about posting it here, naturally. The rest of the music on the page there is old, with no real analog contribution and made with no real experience or equipment.

Mix comments are appreciated (not the old stuff).

i like this man, nice one

Nice gritty dark atmosphere. Plenty of movement and variety to keep the listener interested. Although some transitions could be smoother, imo.

Great atypical drum programming. Really keeps my ears guessing.

Really like those gristly pads that come in around 4:08!!!

Not a big fan of the vocal sample over and over. But that’s just my opinion. I rarely like repetitive vocal samples. You’re the boss! :relaxed:

Overall, sounds really cool and your production sounds great to me. Nice work.

Thank you for listening, and for both kind and useful comments!

Mixwise it’s sounding good!

My one suggestion, or bit of advice, is that this piece of music is absolutely stuffed with ideas and sounds. There is so much going on all at once. If you wanted to (and you definitely don’t have to, music is subjective after all), you could split those ideas into different tracks, and develop each one. For example, I really enjoy the blippy synth at the start, and the interplay between that, the clap and the bass drum… but they quickly disappear never to be seen again! If you took that initial germ of an idea and then ran with it, I would be very interested to hear the result.

All the best in your music making endeavours!

I agree. This song is packed with ideas. Which is great! But I also feel it could be split into at least two good songs. Nice “problem” to have. :relaxed:

Cheers again for encouraging feedback - thank you for your time. I feel like splitting it up is def an option - I’ll suggest it actually, to someone who might work on vocals! But then again I now really want to start new, and OT driven, adventures!
