One Day This Will All Come Back On You

Featured Replies

An electronic piece that changes style over time.It begins with strings layers in a quasi-ambient style, before the first set of electronics kick in. The second half of the piece also begins in a ambient manner, and builds up to its climax before the whole thing fades into noise.I wanted to throw in a whole load of my influences, and you can head particular composers reflected in particular instruments (the arpeggios are Muse influence, the climax has an element of 65daysofstatic and so on).

One Day This Will All Come Back On You

There's Hiss like in an old recording, is it on purpose .... ?

Very nice the initial ambient, then the sort of beat is very confusing at the beginning, I think because is distorted, then at 2:54 is better but still something happens with it, its more notorious each time the cymbal hits, if you're using a compressor I say you check it.

The arpeggiating synth is ok, and the strings too, I think the drums is the only element to check (and the hiss I mentioned)

Then the next part is really nice, the paddy strings. The next strings are good too, the distortion on drums remain and probably the bass, I'm not sure, the ambient and harmony on this one is excellent.

The very last wind part I say is not necesary, you could end with the previous part which was the best one, this wind is too strong in middle frequencies, probably distorted too.

In short, I say this is very nice fixing the hiss and the distorted drums, (and removing the final wind).

Cheers for the feedback!

I forgot to mention, there is a vinyl crackle sample which is probably the hiss you're referring to. I think the file format doesn't help, I had to convert the original uncompressed track to a compressed format to upload it to the site, and the difference between the two is remarkable...

I'll check what's going on with the drum lines.

The wind part was interesting, I was trying to emulate some of the idea in noise music so I used EQ on a white noise generator, but instead of cutting frequencies I accentuated them. I guess this was more of an aesthetic decision.
