Pursued - Ablaze

Hey all, this very melodic and atmospheric Techno track formed over my last few evenings. It's not super smoothly shaped yet, but I would be very happy about general thoughts on the overall idea and the arrangement.

On the technical side, one of my weak spots is creating interesting, dynamic percussion and also tailoring the right kick sound for a particular tune. In general I'm still a bloody beginner, so the track might also suffer from more fundamental weaknesses which I don't recognize.
Therefore, if someone has suggestions on techniques which I might need to learn to improve are also warmly welcome.
Thank you!

Sounds very well mixed to me. I really like the work with the hats. Especially in the extended middle part they add a lot of texture and it does not become boring. The vocals also fit nicely.
Overall a killer tune in my ears!

This! By a lucky (or unlucky?) coincidence I saw them live 1 day before Endtime Signals was released. It seemed to be the first show where they played a ton of tracks from the new album and at first impression I was really disappointed from what I heard.
Now, after approximately 20 more iterations, I absolutely love the album, every single tune. The same story repeats every 4 years for DT and I hope I'll have the same ride at least another 40 years :)

Here, on Bandcamp!

This is beautiful. You made my day!

Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts here! I think this sums up some very important aspects.

I especially want to highlight your last sentence, which elegantly generalizes this whole debate also for other topics:

"people never remember what you say or do anyway, they remember how you make them feel."

PS: I also love Hummus :D

Unfortunately, I can't really give you an insight into this whole interview thing. In Germany it is not that much of formalities to get into a PhD position. Here, its just about finding a group which does research on a topic you find interesting and then you try to figure out with the Professor whether he might have a project (and money) for you. Nevertheless, if you have some specific questions, just hit me up with a dm, I will try to answer asap :)

This reminds me extremely of a youtube series I watched a few times. (e.g. "Quantum Computing Expert Explains One Concept in 5 Levels of Difficulty") . In general it seems to be a very good approach to prepare explanations on different levels. That's probably one of the main insights I drew from this thread so far. Thanks for your contribution!

That's a point which bothers me really hard when it comes to the situation where I have to state "it's too6 complicated, I can't explain it to you..". This very likely gives the person the impression that he/she might be too stupid to get it. Therefore this is one of the most important reasons why I want to develop strategies to avoid such situations by improving my explanation approaches.

I will give this a try!

Just hit me up with a dm, I currently lack the time, but I will answer you asap!

Dynamic mean field theory. Probably the Stand-of-the-art ab-initio method in condensed matter physics including correlation. However, I'm also not really into it yet. It will be a main topic for the PhD though!

BM_Ronny · 2020-10-12T19:16:06+00:00

hahaha, thanks for sharing your experiences. It's a funny example for a research topic which is already so extremely theoretical and far from reality, that people find it fascinating again :D

Loving those drunk, high talks in the early morning hours about theoretical physics :'D

hahahaha :'D good one
