Freesound Forums

I’m trying to do music that you don’t notice. It exists just as a. A pulse that accompanies whatever you do. Music made for headphones. It should be minimal in every way. Music that creates a feeling of space and/or place. In this track I let the drums and bass be in the foreground. I made in Launchpad (iPad). The loops and sounds are all made by myself (I will upload them later…). As a memo to myself. I think I have to work harder on the “mastering” part. Well now this music making is just for fun but to get the right sound I think that’s an important part.

Any suggestions and comment?

Well, to start, you could at least mention what this has to do with freesound.org. Is it just that you will upload the parts later? Or is this, indeed, "your work made with freesounds"? If so, which?

Excellent work, I really like how simple it is, and it does really just "sit" there in the background.
For my personal taste, I would take the drone pad down a bit. Good luck on the mixing part!

I've listened to a lot dark ambient lately, which is very good controlled white noise.
might be inspiring to listen to.

One thing I find is drawing my attention towards music, away from ~work, is patterns which are repeated very often and a frequency of a sound played for long time, like your background drone.
Maybe the brain thinks, it has to analyze repeating stuff, because nature has seldomly really repetitive sounds, except like water drops, and we all know what a torture they can be.

I know, it's easy to criticize a work of creation, but maybe this "tip" is useful .

Thanks for the comments. In my world deep/ambient techno (or whatever you want to call it) is trying to create a place or space. A peaceful place. That’s why this music often contains elements of field recordings (water drops, waves, rain, wind – “cyclic sounds”). The music develops slowly. When you are in this place maybe you can relax that analyzing part of the brain. It works for me. But I want a rhythmic component in the music. Ambient music without, is more demanding. My brains is searching for patterns – or something…
Silent Season releases some nice music (http://www.silentseason.com/, https://soundcloud.com/silent-season)

So I think I agree with you, Tobbarebble. And don’t be afraid to criticize my music. It’s something I do instead of crossword. When I have time. I guess I have the usual problem - to many ideas to little time :-/

And zimbot, it feels strange to mention freesound.org before I have uploaded my sounds. But I will.

btw, I meant mention here, in this thread, what the music has to do with freesound. So I'm guessing it's just that you will be uploading some components of the music (later), as opposed to the use of things you found on freesound.org.

I am not fan, sorry
