The Wind Of Zanzibar

Hello, people of Renoise.

We eventually made a new song.

Finished it a couple of minutes ago, and put it up on the Renoise Song-page.

It is called The wind of Zanzibar.

We based the song on an african sample we found on the net.

Enjoy :)

Kumbaye, Kumbayo, hehe… :)
Maybe the beat needs a little more presence… I’m not sure. :) Nice chill-out music though. :)

I´m listening to it right now, and WOW…I love it!
You guys are the new Prodigy/Chemical etc brothers…

Can’t really give you any other feedback except that
At 3.57 minutes in there is a sound that is played a bit to soft, but it is only there for a short while, still I would change how it is played a bit.

I give this 100% because its very good for its genre.

To bad you used a sample from the internet, unless it is free for comercial use. Because I think you should send this to some record company…

Thanks for the music guys!

Edit:

The wind of Zansibar is a really really bad name though, sounds way to soft…

Good song…! I like the deliberate mechanical awkwardness of it, and the over all sound is really polished. And you have a smart sense of “where it is” club wise.

Blessings,
Damon

Ps.
The sample sounds like something from Deep Forest.

wow, very interesting production!
I like the combination of those beats and the world music mood.
Just the end is a bit too sudden for my taste. Maybe a softer fadeout with the strings would fit more. But this way you keep it unusual which might not be wrong.
Good job, keep on going.

Wow!!!

Our first 100% ever! :blink:

Damn that’s awesome…

Thanks a million :D

Yeah, i know, it’s a bit strange; on my speakers the synth sounds way too loud, but in headfones (which i connect to the speakers) the synth is hardly audible… I don’t get it!

Anyway, might’ve been a good idea to do a little more “experimenting” with the synth before putting up the finished work.

Thanks for letting us know though :)

Might be… It was a small “taste” from a sample pack on the net. Just sounded cool and all, had to use it :walkman:

Presence? As in Reverb? Yeah, they might… Maybe they’re a bit dry… Dun think we put any reverb of any kind on them actually, except for the bongo-drums, that is :ph34r:

Thanks alot for the feedback, guys :)

Hey, Dufey. By presence I mean definition and power. :)

Oh, alright <_< I get it now :)

I would say that this genre is not generally my favorite, but this is really very well done. Refreshing. Great rhythm. Mechanical with enough going on to not sound manotanous. The ending is a little abrupt, but effective. Very well produced, slick and professional. Fabulous.
