Vernon Barnes Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 I posted this "in another place" a while ago, but it looks like this forum is taking off so I should start posting here more. "Beyond Reason's Edge" a journey into the madness of the modern world. https://soundcloud.com/goldrybluszco/beyond-reasons-edge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhonoBrainer Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Well that was fun. Can't offer much other than the intro might have run a tad longish. But this is avant prog so whichever the hell these days. Sounds good to my ears, definitely tells a story. I like the lead synth and perhaps more of those brighter elements might help push the mix a tilt toward the shinier side. If you have a mix bus tool that might add just a bit of high end sheen. I use zynaptic intensity for this purpose because my mixing skills are hit and miss sometimes. Anyway, this is an adventurous listen and a good one at that. Nice job. -Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bjornpdx Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Glyn Not sure if it's the song or the genre but I couldn't get into it. The opening with the ominous synth is good but maybe a bit long. I liked the operatic singing part near the end. I think the song would work very well as a soundtrack to a video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vernon Barnes Posted June 19, 2019 Author Share Posted June 19, 2019 (edited) Thanks guys! I think you are correct that the intro is too long as it stands. Maybe a higher synth part coming in over the top to build tension may help. Edited June 19, 2019 by Glyn Barnes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garybrun Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 I agree about the intro being a little long... got impatient for when it was going to change. ? Today I bit the bullet and plugged in my new Orion Studio to my Focals. Some how I think it needs some sparkle/shimmer in the top end. Well done on your composition.

Lynn Wilson Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 This song is an adventure to listen to because of its dramatic changes. I like that you used volume and texture to mix it up, so to speak. The beginning didn't bother me because it reminded me of my Korg M1 days. All in all, very well done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Douglas Kirby Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 I thought it made me think of ELP a bit - a bit of a progressive piece. Nice job. Thanks for posting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
