January 1, 20197 yr Happy new year everyone! This is one of "Hammock" styled songs I made. You know, it's not cool to copy other bands, but it's really cool to get inspired by their style and music. So, I did it! I just plugged my guitar, I started recording a very unusual but effective progression (I-vi-I-III) and then, I added a layer of reverb and a layer of cello on top. Cellos are not that loud, but still enough to give the piece a soul! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BRngYTxKBPg
January 1, 20197 yr Ambient music is a genre by itself.. It can sometimes just be 'audio wallpaper', soothing, not really going anywhere. I'd be tempted to add some subtle tidbits to it. I 'think' a hear a cello line there somewhere in the mist. It might be nice if it rose up just a tiny bit, stated something and then backed into the mist again.. Perhaps some slight 'tinkles'. I am not familiar with Hammock. And if it was your intention to work in that vein, well that's another thing. I think it's OK to copy other bands, as an exercise in discovery or your own music. or learn some new techniques, absolutely nothing wrong with that. I appreciate that you tackle different approaches in your uploads. GOOD
