More ambient goodness.

Recorded in the 90 degree San Diego heat. Used my keyboard and FL 7. Also did the drum loops on my friend's drum set.

My personal favorite. I think it turned out pretty good.

It's put together very well, and I can see how you had a pyramid effect by adding different stuff to the middle then coming back down; from 1:44 to 2:43 its a little weird and really off key from you had going, but it's all personal preference.  Well Done- Dan |PotC

I like the way it builds. The drum seems a little too programmed but thats probably how it was supposed to sound. I liked it maybe throwing some lyrics into it would be cool.

re: Enigma
nice build up..............
very gentle................piano sound a bit clunky.......
layer building change to electro sound nice............
discordant layer.........
bak 2 piano
its got all the elements of a nice trak just a bit repetitive......
if u got fl7 why not double layer the drum track with an fpc trak and knok in some death defying bass....

haha the fish

i vote

I enjoyed how your layers counterpointed each other..I also liked the drumming..There's a bit of noticeable difference on the levels of each drum loop.The piano sounds real good.Not sure about the contrast in the atonal arrangement,but somehow I think I hear what your doing...Its a pretty intricate song story for a very simple melody..Good show!

The varying tonal influences in this one make it an interesting listen despite the very simple melody line.  I really like the dissonant piano in the mid section - it adds a little weirdness that fits well to my ears.
The whole piece is, as it's intended, nicely enigmatic
I enjoyed listening.

The clunky piano part near the middle was meant to be a bit out of tempo. Kind of like the song Mike Mills by Air, which is my favorite ambient song.

The first drum loop is from FL, but the others you hear were done by me, though I added some effects to them (which is probably why they sound 'programmed').

Thanks for the feedback.
