Love the sound design on this one ! I see you went for a repetitive pattern that keeps buildup up indefinitely during the track without ever getting to a point of climax. It does fit the theme nicely ! GGs
Thanks for having a listen & commenting. :)
Currently listening to your piece (yet) again. :D I definitely dig it… :) Definitely off the scale in terms of atmosphere!
Starting to think the jam needs an additional category where the 1-5 stars represents the number of times in a row I listened to the piece on repeat. :D
Thank you so much for participating in the jam - I thought the pulsating synths were really atmospheric and trance like, almost creating a sense of inevitability about something approaching.. Enjoyed listening! Thanks again.
Thanks!
Trance-like, you say? Seems my love of 90s anthemic trance might be showing a little. :)
And, it turns out that the “something” approaching was the Brackey Jam’s “Calm before the storm” theme. :D
Really interesting track. I am loving the "something is being built" feeling all around, and the mechanic while also organic nature of the rhythms and attacks. An ominous feeling is present during all the piece, even though you also manage to keep it upbeat, and I really dig the constant "tension-repose" you got with the buildups in the 1:00, 2:00 and 2:50 marks. Now I get the name of the track: definitely something is coming our way, but it is not here (yet). Cool job!
Thanks for taking the time to listen & leave your comment. :)
Glad the title’s connection with the piece came across and elements of the composition “connected” with you too.
Also, I just wanted to acknowledge the time and effort you’ve put into making really specific & tailored comments for people’s entries, it’s really cool.
The latter is cool both in general because your effort demonstrates a level of genuine care/respect towards the pieces people have created but also because the specificity of your comment is really helpful in terms of having feedback on how successfully my piece communicates what I was aiming for, e.g. “ominous” but “upbeat”.
Thanks a lot for the encouragement! I am finding a super positive community in all the tune jams I join, and this time is not the exception. I always get very valuous feedback or at least encouraging comments, and to share mine is the least I could do, even when it is just a feeling for I might lack the technical or musical proficiency to provide something more insightful. But you know you can always feel the "weight of silence" when there's no direct communication with the creator ("maybe I got it all wrong?", one thinks) so I am very very happy to receive your answer and hear you indeed found it helpful! Let's keep it up!
