Quite nice, has a little bit of creepy and calm sprinkled together. 9/10.

song's 4:20 in length, which reminds me of drug culture, which reminds me of a movie not being finished

seriously though, i'm really liking your creative progress, great stuff, your stuff is very contemporary, fits right in with TODAY'S JAMS. keep it up man.

i dunno how much of this song is samples, but hopefully over time these samples will give you more and more ideas for your own original little sound bites that you can make yourself and then work into songs. then there won't be that grey area of "uhh just how much of this is original? am i only complimenting the bits bill DIDN'T do??" maybe it doesn't matter, people sample shit all the time. i guess i just like to know how much of what i'm listening to is you so i know exactly what to say.

glad you like the music!
I noticed it was exactly 4:20 when i had finished making it, thought people might think i did it intentionally or something haha

all of this was produced by me! the only sample is the vocal snippet of the weeknd, which doesn't have any audible music in the background really

to be honest that sade remix i did is the only time i have sampled instruments, they are usually 100% produced by me instrument-wise (other than the short snippet of summer breeze on night lights)
I tend to just sample acapellas (when they are available) or vocal snippets

I like Luminance a lot. The first 30 and the last 40 seconds especially have nice sounds. This is really chill, a cool music to drive by. I think it can be improved more, it is almost an immersive song, but not there yet.

Hahah, oh my god I completely forgot downloading this and I couldn't even remember where it came from. I went through my MP3 list yesterday and found that song and I went "Where the fuck did this come from, sounds really awesome but why do I have it?"

Cool new stuff man, cant wait to hear more from you.

what was the learning curve switching to reason (mixcraft is super easy.. and I'm not sure if I should upgrade until I suck a little less)


Tell me why blows my mind dude.. that one is SICK.

the learning curve is pretty big when it comes to the mastering, VST's , effects, all the controls etc. but producing beats and stuff isn't too hard if you already have a hang of laying out melodies and stuff on other DAW's, but yeah when it comes to programming each VST to how you want it, mastering all the instruments and applying effects etc. it can take a while to get used to it, but it pays off considering you can do so much more than mixcraft, the main reason i switched from mixcraft was because how limited it was if i am honest!

and thanks man, glad you like the music! EP coming very soon!

Are you completely self taught? Like how did you learn all this shit? Video tutorials? Fucking around?
All I ever took was a music theory class in high shool

self taught pretty much, fucked around with mixcraft for years before i started making serious stuff, i guess being able to play some instruments and knowing a bit of how scales / chords etc. work and go together helps me

this has a really relaxing sound. and it sounds very solid. reminds me of burial a lot, mostly because the samples used. definitely reflect a contemporary urban feel, like driving around a rainy city.
