Style Under Construction

Added a new track of mine… an electronic downtempo/chillout piece…

Atomic Boy

I would appreciate feedback on this since it’s a style of composing I’m
currently trying to develop… need opinions from fellow renoise’rs :D

No mixing/mastering has been done… only some fx applied in Renoise…

VSTi’s used is a SynthEdit Fm_Bass, Plugsound Free and Pro-53 Strings,
domestic samples (hitting pots’n’pans, glasses, my phone etc.) for the rythm parts…

comments?

Like the use of elec piano + bass here. Personally think that the song could be made more interesting if broken into more distinct sections with maybe a change in chords/ harmony at differing points.

The percussion sounds are interesting but sound slightly sporadic i.e. they don`t tie together as well as maybe they could with the feel of the song (which is generally more relaxed). Having said this, this may have been the effect you were going for but I would personally try maybe the usage of more hihats etc to tie it up more and tweak the individual percussion hit rhythms.

Like the sound effect @ around 1:30 and definitely think this style can benefit from using these effects (help in building + relaxing tension). A good band to listen to for this and other points I have mentioned may be Air, if you don`t already Know their tracks.

Hope that some of this is of use to you + good luck wiv the rest of the track, its a nice start for 1st attempt at this style :)

P.S. out of interest what time sig did you use for this? (was a bit thrown by it at first)

thanks for your comments… much appreciated…

point taken… have to mull it over though since it’s sort of meant to be that
way… but maybe I’ll try that… hmmm…

again, meant that way… but then again… you’ve got a point

very much so… scrutinization from others is good…

6/4 with some backbeats here and there, I guess…

Cheers, will have a more educated listen now :)
