I can’t believe it, but I actually finished a song. Well actually it isn’t completely finished but in a state it can be listened. Soundcloud
Yes, it is boring
Yes, it is repeative
I tried to imitate Boards Of Canada’s style, tape mangling effects, noise, analogue stuff etc. Still done completely in Renoise. Overall I’m quite happy with it.
I’ll probably improve it a bit more, so constructive criticism and comments are appreciated.
whilst listening to the first dozen of seconds i thought “nah, this is gonna be way too wacky for me”, but after finishing listening to the end, i gotta say that i totally liked the way the tune evolved.
the “drop” at around 3:13 is really fresh thanks to the longbreathed break beforehand.
good stuff, emitting a pleasant atmosphere of apathy.
nice track very boards of canada but quality stuff
Thanks both of you <3. The progression is really slow yes and the beginning is somewhat tedious, I’m just afraid to tamper with it, usually when I do I just manage to make it even worse. But yeah it’s really mostly built upon the tension and the atmosphere.
Very nice work overall. It could do with some fine-tuning here and there, but you’re definitely on the right track. Keep it up 
good chill times!
This was a great way to spend 6 minutes!
Loved the first sounds, liked the direction it went.
Perhaps a lead synth line after the 3:13 drop would work nicely. Something sparse, at least that’s what my mind tries to layer on top of this already good tune.
Yes very nice sounds in here, athmostphere in this song is something you don’t hear a lot, very nice work 
Ok for those of you who are interested, I think this is pretty much done now: Download
So what is changed? I added a little vangelis-like synth lead because it really desperately needed one to give it a bit more variance, and thus also decided to extend the middle part a bit. Also added some other details too especially to the drums. Mixing is SLIGHTLY improved too, mainly just smoothed the volume levels between instruments. There was a small clipping problem too which (I think) is fixed now. Maybe something else too but they were so small changes I don’t even remember them and probably won’t be even easily noticed.
Btw I hope the “mastering” is ok because this was done on basic desktop pc speakers (well all my songs so far have been), can’t afford monitors yet…
ps. thanks for all the nice comments <3
I really dig this! Well done on the adjustments - the synth lead really filled this out nicely.
Just wanted to say again that I really like this! The new synth sound is lovely, and overall the track has a great vibe. Keep up the good work!
I have started to hate soundcloud, because it lets people disable the download, and many many people do that too…
Anyways, great track, nice atmospheres. Maybe a bit too Boards of Canadaish.
Great stuff! Really hits home with the mood.
Btw, I skipped buying expensive monitors and bought some expensive headphones (well, 350 USD so not too bad) instead. Seemed to me like the better choice as I wouldn’t have to think about placement, room space etc etc. At least for my skill level it was the better choice I think.
Hope to hear more music from you.
great track !!
If you’re happy with 128kbs, which is all Soundcloud streams at, it’s a piece of pie to download

This my favourite track on here that I have heard so far. Nice sounds,great stuff.
Peace

Nice track!
Some tricks to achieve the tape mangling effect? Im testing plugins for tape saturation.
I was also wondering how you achieved those effects/sounds. very tasty.
I love the tune very much, specialy the cripple tuning
