Oh crap yeah the second song should not be there. That’s a tune I have been practicing. Thank for the kind words guys. Sorry you had to hear me practice guitar I’ll edit that stuff out from now on🤣

This piece drew me in from the get-go. Absolutely amazing guitar; so melancholic and yet so relaxing at the same time. The chorus with the lovely harmonising is really nice as well. And that solo; oh yes, please! Only thing I'd nit-pick about is the ending. Top-notch job! I really enjoyed listening to this.
This is really good improvisation. I can imagine you were surrounded by all these nice synths and just soaring through clear skies, each synth taking taking you do a different place. Which one was distorted guitar? Nice dialog it had with the piano. I really enjoyed it much. Thanks for sharing.
Welcome to the SOTM! Great to have you here. Your track sent me off wandering in my mind to different places. I think that's what you set out to achieve as well. Very nice. What is your process? What did you use on this track? Thank you for sharing!
Abstract ambient music! This is likely first time I'm listening to something like this outside of arthouse type film. Not sure what I was supposed to expect so I really don't have a reference to comment on. I'd be interested to learn how these abstractions are creation.
Really fun, quirky track that felt like it could very well be leading to something more. Is it a parade or fare down the road? A train going by as well? Took me places! Thank you for sharing.
Nice! Classic synth sounds are just so amazing. I love the sounds on this one. Very inspiring melodies as well. Some really good arp sequences, too. Thanks for sharing.
Fantastic guitar work. Really impressive. The arrangement made it all very interesting. It was a joy to listen. Followed on SC.
A little late submission. I didn't have new music as I have had a busy month of isolating with covid and was not feeling all that inspired.
This one is an older piece from about 9 months ago that I created when I installed a trial version of Logic at the time. Korg Gadget does make an appearance with the cellos.
That was pretty cool. I dig the piano parts, very nice. I get a sad feeling from the piece but it’s a good sad feeling.
Thank you! i think SOTM is just what i need to get to the point of start finishing stuff.
My process is diffrent track to track, but i often need some inspiration, in this case piano motifs, then I mangled it a bit in zenbeats and altered it, export midi in this case to desktop macbook pro, ableton live, (i go between ableton and bitwig) on ios i use zenbeats, and of course AUM, and now also loopy pro(great app). I work in clip view until i got enough stuff to make it a song, then i start aranging it. Some altered splice samples in there to, a piano vst, bass vst (ample sound). Mixing and mastering is hard i think but something I have to learn. Im influened by electronic music, jazz and prog rock 😁
Really nice track. I've been listening to a lot of instrumental post-rock lately from the likes of Mono (the Japanese band, not the British one), Caspian, Godspeed You Black Emperor etc.. and this would fit right in with that genre. It's got the dynamics, the beautiful melodies, and the epic vibe.
The arrangement is very good, it keeps the flow moving and the track is interesting and engaging throughout. The piano melodies are excellent, and the drums really flow beautifully. The synths add a lot of atmosphere and all the sounds are well-crafted.
For me this is pretty much the best kind of instrumental music there is. I really like this, it's beautiful and cinematic.
yes great piece! very cinematic like richardyot said above, the song moves foreward, I like the piano alot! great feeling to it
nice guitarplaying, the main riff makes the composition feel more like a song among all solo guitar stuff, great. I come from a trash metal background myself, nowdays its more jazz stuff for me to. Looking forward to hear more songs from you!
I sometimes slightly detune my synthesizers. Not sure if it works well, but I've been interested in combining synths with regular tunings with other synths that are slightly off those tunings. The goal is to set up slight harmonic tensions or overtones. I sometimes do the same thing with scales. Again, I'm not sure it adds anything to the music.
The piano sound was from the Yamaha EX5. I'm pretty sure the distorted guitar was from the Kawai K5000S. It used additive synthesis and could achieve some really gnarly rise-above-the-music sounds.
@richardyot
Once again, a very polished piece with great production values. The voices blend together especially well on this one. Love the almost-out-of-tune guitar solo at the end. Like the mourning wail of a restless spirit.
@studs1966
Catchy song with impressively professional production values. This one could get almost anyone out on the dance floor.
@martinsa82
An engaging song that cuts across musical categories – jazz, rock, soundscape, repetitive. Both calming and evolving. Laced throughout with gentle surprises.
@Overdosed_Ape
This one really jumps at you right out of the gate. Feels like I’ve lost my way in an out-of-control carnival – a real-life Nightmare Alley. Interesting juxtaposition of dream-like carnival music with test-equipment-like electronics.
@Kitusai
Fascinating mix of musical sounds and cultures. At times, it feels like a Balinese ritual transplanted onto a New Orleans funeral procession. At other times, it feels like a Steve Reich or Terry Reily concert that has suddenly gone out-of-sync. Very cool!
@swfarrington
Intriguing song with a great retro feel. Reminds me of the early 1960s instrumental pieces by Joe Meek and the English band the Tornado, especially their tune Telstar. The sampled voices work really well, as does the accompanying visual footage. Well done!
@Jmd8928
Strong jazz-blues guitar solo at the beginning. It then expands boldly to become a substantial rock-oriented piece. That’s some impressive guitar playing!
@spyrogaia
Love the streamlined feel at the beginning and how it opens up both musically and instrumentally as the song develops. A very strong piece.
A beautiful peaceful moment, thank you!
Thanks everyone for the feedback. Thank you @richardyot for the kind words as well. And the suggestions of bands. I already listen to Godspeed.
Not post but have you listened to Poseidon’s Creation by Eloy? A lot of their work in prog rock is just amazing.
@DavidEnglish
You nailed it…it’s my reflection of the actually time spirit in dd-town
No I've not heard that - I'll give it a listen, thanks!
I've really only just scratched the surface of the post-rock genre, there's a mountain of stuff out there.
