Hey there, this is my entry for the Dice Synthesizer Song Competition, but I'd like to hear your feedback and critique here as well: every track I do I try to improve a little bit and your help is precious.
Have a nice day!

Dig the vibe feature at 41 seconds. Gary Burton would approve. Reminds me of his feature in Elucidation. That was a great tune. Hard to fail when you are playing with Corea and Metheny.

You are setting the bar very high for the competition. Congrats!
Also I always appreciate non-house/techno tracks.

Thanks for listening, Mimi. In the summer of '99 I was on a road trip in the north of Scotland and the 'eject' function on the car's CD player broke down with a cd stuck in it: that cd was Like Minds by Burton, Corea, Metheny, Holland and Haynes and so it was on repeat for about 15 days. I guess I absorbed some of the phrasing, even unintentionally! When I happen to listen to that record again I see the hills of the highlands and the heather bushes by the roadside.mimidancer wrote: ↑03 May 2023Dig the vibe feature at 41 seconds.

Thank you rare_shadow, the great thing about synths is that you can make them seem to fit any genre!rare_shadow wrote: ↑04 May 2023You are setting the bar very high for the competition. Congrats!

There are some quite creatively talented people getting around in here doing their things and it's great to hear what they're doing.
Nice songwriting Quarmat, Fusion is great and one of my favourite metal guitar players is a Fusion Jazz proponent.
This doesn't sound easy to write, so it's impressive what you've done with it

Thank you, after all, in music everyone is sitting on the shoulders of giants.
Thank you Popey!
Thank you JC1, fusion is fun to write cause you can put anything into it and it remains technically fusion! Who is this one metal guitarist you are referring to?JC1 wrote: ↑08 May 2023There are some quite creatively talented people getting around in here doing their things and it's great to hear what they're doing.

Frederick Thordendal from Meshuggah. He has an awesome technique with his playing with his irregular arpeggio runs and his glides and so bone crushingly heavy too!

Sick track. Really nicely done. If I had some constructive criticism it would be to have more lead line over more of the track and make it more prominent in the mix.

Damn we got some good musicians around here. Just amazing Quarmat. The retro sound design is amazing, it really sparks my imagination, the bell type lead around 40 seconds for instance sounds so familiar, like a lot of the other sounds . I like the stutters, I like how you stutter the whole thing then fade it back in on itself while it's still stuttering
