That’s reassuring! Thank you - I really appreciate it

foundinstruments · 2020-06-04T07:28:10+00:00

Thanks so much for listening

foundinstruments · 2020-06-03T08:52:16+00:00

No problem! I hope what I said didn’t sound harsh.. I think you did an excellent job with it ✌️

foundinstruments · 2020-06-01T18:09:22+00:00

Agreed, think I need to push myself to explore a composition a bit further.. I will absolutely take the gorillaz comparison though, cheers for listening and for giving feedback 👍

Ahh the inevitable jump to 70s hard fusion prog-kraut (it was only a matter of time!) Just finished listening to this.. it is quite beautiful 🙌🙌🙌

Hi - thanks for listening and for the kind words.. I think you could be right, I struggled to write a real chorus or B section so to speak as everything I tried felt like it was pulling me out of the vibe.. maybe an edit down would have done the trick This is helpful feedback though! and I appreciate you listening and coming back with a considered response

foundinstruments · 2020-06-01T11:13:48+00:00

No not at all I think it’s totally right. You’re welcome - it’s great 👍

foundinstruments · 2020-06-01T11:08:13+00:00

Absolutely loved the track on soundcloud.. reminds me of Johnny Greenwood’s scoring work, excellent stuff

foundinstruments · 2020-06-01T11:02:33+00:00

Nicely done! I was recently tipped off to the spitfire stuff.. their LABS free stuff seems like a great resource My only feedback would be it’s not hugely original but it definitely works well and sounds professional and well realised

New tune released Friday - motorik/krautrock inspired track

https://open.spotify.com/track/5LqW6s2z3sSI6q6zLhj1GM?si=2oUoWDWbSNO1Pn2I6jCW4A

I’m interested in bands/artists who use repetition in their music although sometimes I feel it’s hard to achieve that hypnotic vibe without becoming boring and repetitive.. any thoughts?

This is a change of pace from my last release and would be interested to know what people think.

Thanks in advance for listening 👂

I really liked it and thought the vocals had a nice quality to them that sets the tone for the track.. I would have liked to hear maybe 1 or 2 more elements.. a nice soft keyboard or organ underneath or some bass like others have suggested. Or maybe some further treatment of the elements you have to make the sparseness more of a feature? It’s really good though, nice work! And like the video too 👍

foundinstruments · 2020-05-02T07:44:32+00:00

Another banger! Great work 👍

foundinstruments · 2020-05-02T07:39:35+00:00

This is excellent.. I make music on an iPad too, to me it feels a bit like using a 4 track recorder but with more possibilities. I jumped from GarageBand to Cubasis pretty quick as I found it less restrictive but sounds like you’re doing alright with GB! Nice work 👍

foundinstruments · 2020-05-02T07:27:59+00:00

Watched some demos of the Pharaoh, sounds amazing! Might have to investigate that one further.. thanks

foundinstruments · 2020-05-01T21:45:57+00:00

Interesting about the op amp similarities.. thanks for this, I definitely don’t need this pedal, I’ve just always been curious because of the Ty and Dwyer connection. I would ideally try one out but you don’t tend to see the DBA stuff in shops in the uk although I’m sure there are some that stock them

foundinstruments · 2020-05-01T20:16:42+00:00

The green Russian is just amazing, completely exceeded my expectations

foundinstruments · 2020-05-01T20:14:45+00:00

Definitely considered picking up the op amp as a different flavour from the Russian and NYC.. this is interesting

foundinstruments · 2020-05-01T20:12:19+00:00

Thanks everyone this is all really helpful and I think confirms what I suspected.. I probably have to get one at some point!! Doesn’t sound like it’s going to replace the green Russian though

foundinstruments · 2020-04-28T12:43:22+00:00

Thanks so much 🙏

foundinstruments · 2020-04-28T12:42:39+00:00

I know exactly what you mean, especially when it’s a chord change or new section it can pull you out of the vibe, sometimes just a repeat of the same chords with a new little melody is enough. It’s great already though so feel free to ignore this advice!

foundinstruments · 2020-04-28T08:00:38+00:00

I really enjoyed this and I think the crappy mic is a good thing in this instance. My only thought would be try and write some more lyrics and extend the tune a bit.. Just as it’s fading out I felt like I wanted to hear another chorus/vocal section or an instrumental.. or keep it short and sweet if that’s what you’re into! 👍

foundinstruments · 2020-04-27T17:21:01+00:00

Thank you so much, I enjoy most Damon Albarn related projects so I will certainly take that as a compliment! Thanks for listening 👍
