Self-Shock

Very Cool production Ross !  I got a little "Talking Heads" vibe during  the intro . I liked the abrupt ending , but I think it could have a little more impact. Sounded like part of it was cut off , missing some lows or maybe the reverb/delay wasn't allowed to ring out.  Enjoyed it , nice groove ..     mark

I like the percussive elements and their timing. Then the explosion, nice. Really good expressive stuff going on. Has some angst in there. The mix sounds good. Interesting and good work !

TYSM Treesha, appreciate the listen and feedback!

@Bajan Blue and @mark skinner, thanks for listening and for the helpful feedback! Regarding the ending, my intention was for it to cut to abruptly lo-fi (like it did earlier leading into the heavy section) and then hit the dead stop at the end. I like the idea, but obviously I missed something in translation that you both noticed that. I went back and compared, and the earlier lo-fi lead in definitely had much more distinct contrast, and the ending it didn't. It kind of sounded the same, but the bottom just fell out! I reworked that spot to give more extreme contrast, plus some more flange effect. Uploaded recording now reflects the change. Thanks for the good catch!

Great production/mix. Intro works. Nice riffing with tasteful enhancements. It's heavy but melodic. I thought the ending sounded more than acceptable, it's an interestingly mixed outro 🎶 🎵

TYSM for the listen and feedback Larry! The dead stop outro was by design, but listening a bit closer after Nigel and Mark brought it up, I think I didn't make the cut to lo-fi right before the end extreme enough. I went back and tweaked that, and added some more flange effect, I think it's better now! Uploaded recording now reflects the change.
