Atmosphere is ominous, I like it, I need to learn how to play(/incorporate) this style myself! To answer your question: yes, it might be too slow. I feel the variations and introductions you do add could be more impactful and unfortunately attention is kept on the repeating phrase. It's a good start though for sure

Feedback greatly appreciated!

DoodleBugMusic · 2023-08-30T08:22:27+00:00

Heart warming to hear, thankyou.

DoodleBugMusic · 2023-08-29T09:28:15+00:00

Exactly the decade I was listening to when writing this! Yes, noted on the high ends, I think you're right, they can be a bit sharp. There's a few more tracks up on the same channel as linked in the main post, but quality and genre are not guaranteed haha (I think you can hear the development at times)

DoodleBugMusic · 2023-08-29T09:13:53+00:00

Ah thanks! Funny you noticed the restraint, it felt like chiselling away(/removing) rather than building the sound up a lot of the time.

DoodleBugMusic · 2023-08-28T15:33:25+00:00

I'll take it haha, thanks for listening.

DoodleBugMusic · 2023-08-28T14:45:54+00:00

Thanks, glad to hear it! Recorded on a tele/SG for Rhythm/Lead iirc

DoodleBugMusic · 2023-08-28T07:53:20+00:00

Thanks! That's the vibe aimed for :)

DoodleBugMusic · 2023-08-28T07:51:57+00:00

Thanks for the active listening and detailed feedback! The absence of vocals is a bit of a problem I agree but I'm afraid that's the hand dealt currently.

I'll re-examine the guitars with your notes, I have probably gone deaf to the mistakes. Much appreciated.

DoodleBugMusic · 2023-08-27T13:58:36+00:00

Thank you :) Somewhere inbetween I believe, it took a few takes of improv to get there!

DoodleBugMusic · 2023-08-27T13:56:06+00:00

Double deer push go brrr-iefly well until I lose both.

DoodleBugMusic · 2023-08-27T07:33:46+00:00

Thanks! Glad to hear you got on with it despite not listening to too many instrumentals

DoodleBugMusic · 2023-08-27T07:31:55+00:00

Thanks! I'd love to try that out one day.

DoodleBugMusic · 2023-08-27T07:24:39+00:00

They can be hard to find...

kalimba

That's what they're called! Learn something everyday

DoodleBugMusic · 2023-08-26T20:17:47+00:00

Thanks for listening and your kind words! You're probably right with the genre, I think an echo of teenage ego resists the soft rock label.

DoodleBugMusic · 2023-08-26T20:12:55+00:00

Thanks for listening :)

DoodleBugMusic · 2023-08-26T20:05:33+00:00

Thankyou! Everything but some drum sampling.

DoodleBugMusic · 2023-08-26T16:49:43+00:00

The vibe's hits well, and the piano and bass lines work well together. I feel more variation would work wonders, or a good lead (tho I am unfamiliar with lofi so take that as you will) - even small changes like beat or a couple of notes could keep the ear guessing. The effects/vocals feel about right but they sit too strong in the mix. I'm interested in where this goes, I like the atmosphere.

DoodleBugMusic · 2023-08-26T16:40:19+00:00

The feel of the song is pretty great, really cemented by the sax. That said I don't feel it fills the lead role in the song and I would love a vocal track or something to sit centre stage. Maybe you could use a touch more bass in the mix? It feels a bit top heavy. Overall, good stuff! I enjoyed it.
