Angel Island (WIP)
« Thread Started on Nov 29, 2007, 8:47pm »
Hey guys! I'm back, after what seemed like forever, lol. Basically, a lot's happened. I've composed new music, and my band is going into the recording studio for the first time on January 18th. :)

So, I decided to try something different. I'm currently working on an electronic/ambient/some other genre I can't recall piece called "Angel Island", an instrumental song I'm making for my girlfriend. ;)
Now, I'm trying to figure out how to get the drums to have basically the same sound as i have on them in this preview, but without a lot of the excess static. Some of the static is good, as it adds to the overall feel of it, but, it needs some work, lol.

So, here's what I have done so far. Any hints or suggestions or comments would be nice. :)

Sorry for such a late reply!

Love the pads in the intro! It reminds me a lot of the pads Kikuta uses in Secret of Mana.
There quite a bit of distortion, i'm not sure if you intended it to be like that or if there's too much gain (sounds like it was intentional though).

Overall, i love the dreaminess of the track and so far it's pretty darn sweet!

Keep it up!

Now it's my turn to apologize for an even later reply, lol. ^^'
Thanks for the feedback, guys! And yeah, the distortion was intentional, as I wanted a sound on the drums similar to what you get when you have a guitar on a heavy distortion setting. You know, where you get some sort of harmonic feedback type of thing going on? Yeah. :P The only thing is, I didn't want it to be THAT piercing. I'm still trying to fix it.

Also, in my absence, I'm been working on a few more songs, one of which I'll be recording in a recording studio next week. :3

Here's my latest piece I'm working on, called "Distance is No Longer Relevant". I'm going for a slight VGM feel with this one, as this one is heavily inspired by the ending credits to Mario Kart 64.

Also, you can check out the new stuff I have at http://www.myspace.com/chaokaze

Now, let's see if I can try to post more regularly from now on, lol. ^^'
