I got a little kalimba once and soon gave up - sampled it and use it all the time now! Your playing is nice and even, something I struggled with. My main problem is like with guitar, I really needed to build up some callouses to play more than a few minutes at a time! I have a producer friend with ...

Yes I think the kalimba has a pretty nice sound.

Harry Potter-ish Tetris theme. Love it!

Glad you like it

I like the bird like noises in the background. It really adds to the bright and uplifting feeling of the track.

Nice groove!

Nice and rumbly

Some of you may have seen it in another thread I posted. I've bought myself some new instruments. One of them is a kalimba. I've just felt a sudden urge to play some physical acoustic instruments. And specifically instruments that I've never played before. I've tried to practise a bit here and there...

Nice track Popey. I like the atmosphere/mood of the track. I do think it has a slightly melancolic feel to it. The only thing I didn't care for was the vocals, but that's just personal preference. I don't mind the notes themselves, I just can't seem to into the overly pitched vocal production style...

I like it. Nice energy. I think the mix/production style fits the music. Not everything needs to be super polished.

Yeah I certainly had no plans to buy a new instrument at that price originally. An instrument I have no prior experience with. Not sure I can justify it completely. But I have the money. And I want it. So I figured, fuck it let's just buy it. You only live once. :puf_smile: I reckon you should enti...

Well, you can DIY one for far less money if you're willing to invest the time instead. e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PVedQwbduQ0 Unless you already have the proper tools needed I suspect it won’t be much cheaper. Especially after all the inevitable trial and error. But I can certainly see th...

BTW, I almost fell off my chair at the price of those Rav Vast Drums. I could tell from the pics that they weren't going to be cheap but even allowing for that I was more than surprised at the prices. I make it about $120 per note :lol: Yeah I certainly had no plans to buy a new instrument at that ...

Awesome! Can’t wait to hear it all! Those look a lot like hand pan drums, the Afro house and organic house crowds are crazy about those. What’s the difference? They have similarities but aren't the same. Hand pan drums doesn't have any cut out tongues. But all these seem to belong to the same family.

During my Christmas holiday I suddenly felt a strong urge to check out new acoustic instruments. I suspect it's some sort of reaction to constantly hearing about all the AI and technology advancements. Going back to play acoustic instruments and learning to draw with simple pen and paper seems like ...

Nice track Popey. I like the atmosphere/mood of the track. I do think it has a slightly melancolic feel to it. The only thing I didn't care for was the vocals, but that's just personal preference.

I like the mood of the track.
Looking forward to hear you sing on it. I don't think I've heard your vocals on any other track.

This is an old song from about six years ago, so I can’t remember the details. But I do remember using FM4 combined with Scream4 for the guitar lead sound. Not even an amp sim in other words. I don’t think it was that important to me to have the lead sound exactly like a guitar, but I for sure went ...

I dig it, particularly Monsters and Shrine.

Thanks, appreciate it.
Yes Monsters and Shrine are probably my favorites from this project as well. Those two and Serenity for me. I feel like these songs best encapsulated what I wanted to achieve with this project.

Each piece is unique yet the project as a whole is cohesive. Lots of ear candy. Moonstone sets the mood. The is one has avery Depeche sound in that track. Love. Sentimental is smooth. The main theme is thoughtful. Then Monsters hits. The punch of the percussion on monsters is perfect. I found mysel...

https://tritoneaddiction.bandcamp.com/album/luna My new project ”Luna”. Some of you might have already heard some work-in-progress material. But here it all is finally finished. 5 tracks, each with its own personality and character. ”Chords, textures and ambience” has been the 3 words I’ve based thi...

Cool. I like it. Nice atmosphere.
The ending felt a little abrupt. Was that by choice or was the ending neglected?
I would leave add a tiny space of silence in the beginning too. Sometimes SC cuts a few milliseconds off when you start a song.
