Genre: Ambient
Timing: 6:30 @ 40 bpm
What I Like About It
- The pad instrument (Blue Carpet) is beautiful and has lots of interesting potential.
- The harmony is simple (Cm7 Fm7 Bbm7 Ebm7) and lends itself to lots of possibilities for different chord types, even with the 16 notes I’m using on the padKontrol.
- There’s a decent amount of note diversity with a big profound low C.
What I Don’t Like About It
- Midranges are fuzzy and distorted and this piece sounds terrible on iPod headphones.
- The harmony is too consonant to get really rich dissonant tensions.
- I mixed this down on the train, where I had to strain to hear past the noise of my surroundings.
- I should have used the mod wheel with that strange effect more than for a split second at the end.
Note: These are rough drafts. Constructive criticism is welcomed, of course.
