Hi Wookiee Thanks for listening and your feedback. I agree about the low end being too weak and I am working on making it better. Glad I am having a chance to learn new things. Thanks for saying its good, appreciate it !

Hi Tom I really appreciate you listening and your comments. Thank you for commenting on the emotional lyrics. Yes the song is very vocal heavy and low end light ha. I was checking out how I might add more low end in with Izotope yesterday a little bit, but when I see your comment about the hi hat, well maybe that needs attention too within a full remix. I try my best with drum parts, they do not come natural to me, and honestly I did not even notice the hi hat aspect, usually I get drums to a point and then think its ok enough. So I really appreciate you pointing this out and the impact it could have on the acoustic guitar. And I'm glad you enjoyed it ! Thanks again

Hi hsmusic I see you have a #1 so welcome and if I got your first post thanks ! Glad you enjoyed it. I really enjoy when people comment on what one of my songs sounds like or reminds them of as you have. And often the comments are diverse, which is cool. I did my share of early fm underground station listening myself and I think it is all inside me bouncing around and shows up in songs. Thanks for listening and commenting

Alarming intro, unsettling sounds, I admire your boldness and courage with some of the subject matter you get into. Very expressionistic, good job putting it together.

Nice choice of sounds, good atmosphere for the mood and words, the mix is good over here, a winner.

Lovely spacey swirly sounds with some darkness, eeriness and uneasiness tastefully mixed in. It has a sense of traveling to it. The clips you chose are clever and well processed for the mood. Well done.

Hi daryl1968, Thanks for checking out my song and your feedback. Its nice to get positive feedback and encouraging for me!

Hi Nigel, Thanks for listening and for leaving a comment for me. Oh yes, the low end is not strong enough, I may revisit the mix in the future. I was working on this a long time and need to do something different. I was struggling to get the kick and bass to be good together so not surprised its lacking. Glad the rest is ok ! Nice to know you think its cool!

Hi David, Thanks for listening and for the feedback. Yes I agree the low end is too light, and maybe will revisit this but tired of working on it at the moment. My last posted song with vocals, I got feedback from @whoisp who suggested I leave some space in between my nonstop words, so this time I took his advice and intentionally had some non-vocal sections. Probably there is a sweet spot. Glad you dig it!

Somewhere there is a film this should go with ! quite soundtrack-y. Very nice piece with evocative moments, textures and moods.

Good song, I like the instrumentation and the mix. Having just made a song with discontented lyrics as I sometimes do, I get it, and you captured the mood well.

With that title I had to listen ha. Very sweet. Thanks for posting the lyrics even though they are very easy to hear. The vocal in the middle bit might be a little more pronounced, they seem further back there. The song is very clean and the mix is great. Enjoyed it !

Hi FreeEarCandy, Thank you for listening and your feedback. Thanks for the wow and telling me you traveled along due to things you like and got hooked! ha! I dont think I make 100% "normal" music so I understand how some of my choices might be awkward, but yes they are thoughtful choices. I appreciate your comments!

Hi Bjorn Thank you for checking it out and your comment. Thanks for appreciating the lyrics which are painfully honest and the vocal processing. Honestly I wind up putting so many vocal tracks and processing because I am unhappy with my plain voice most of the time, so I guess that has been good in a way. I agree the bottom could be beefed up, I thought it was a bit weak but acceptable but maybe I will revisit it and make it stronger.

Hi Larry T. Thanks for listening and your comment, yes some angst in this one and part of the human experience ! so angst music happens. I appreciate you saying you find my compositions so interesting with the melodies moving in and out. I wanted to make a simpler song this time but that didn't happen ha. I guess that complexity is what I like to do. Maybe next one will be simpler! Thanks again

I enjoyed your work, to me it seems great and I have no idea how you used AI to do what you did! I think the notation looks good on the bottom, I don,t read music but just as an artistic feature to me it looks good moving along. The song itself is very good.

interesting composition and nice sounds, enjoyed the moods

I also listened to several of the songs on your bandcamp and liked them all. Each one had a section or part I really liked. Your experience shows.

Smooth, well done, second the Steely Dan mention, wonder what instrumentation you are using if you feel like posting that info

Excellent all around, the lyrics feature some important points, great job

Powerful synthy opening, unexpected changes, settles into a groove, really not able to get the most of the lyrics and I am interested in what you are singing, enjoyed it even if the message is mysterious

Hi jack c thanks for listening and your feedback, appreciate both. Yes, the low end is lacking, I wasn't too in love with the bassline so sat it back a bit, probably a bit too FAR back ha.

Hi Mark Ha I appreciate your enthusiasm to go first ! I thought that only was a thing to go first and beat Larry in the deals forum (which I did once!) The artwork is from pixabay.com called Mayan Calendar by KLAU2018 that I changed some of the characters to read Far Cry. Ugh, this one I spent so much time with the bass and kick and got it to this point which I thought was just about acceptable. It was very challenging for some reason. I think I would have to change out the kick to really make it a lot better. I played a very simple bassline in this and am not too excited about it so I let it be a bit back but yes, you zoned right in on my biggest issue with this song. My room is probably not the best for low end judgements, I use Tonal Balance Control and it showed the low end the lowest I have ever seen one of my songs even after I worked to get it stronger. I'm glad you enjoyed it ! Thank you

Been working on this one for a while. I used SI Bass, Addictive Drums, Generation guitar, Kontakt Strummed Acoustic, Kontakt 25 Crescent keys, Kontakt Hypha keys, New Nation Natura synth pad, Xperiments Dark Sky Audio free for Kontakt and Vital free with Lucy Blake preset. Here are the discontented lyrics, thanks for listening/reading, feedback and discussion welcome ! Far Cry by Treesha deFrance It’s a far cry from the blue sky Doesn’t satisfy only magnifies It’s a far cry from where I wanna be From where I wanna be O set me free let freedom ring O each day I wonder All I see all I hear all I know O betrayed I wander What I feel what I say where I go Far, Far Cry Far, Far Cry O feet on the ground It’s a long way down From underground O give me a moment I need a minute To get back in it Far, Far Cry Far, Far Cry Long time, hard try, scarred life Scarred life Far, Far Cry Far, Far Cry

When it was free before they had a song contest to use it in. I entered and I think one other forum poster entered. I posted my entry in our song forum, didn’t win the contest which is fine but got listens in maybe top 15 or so contest entries. It was surprisingly versatile.
