        I also love the way your piano playing breathes throughout the piece. Very deep and involved if that makes sense. Bravo

     2. Nicken

        Nicken on October 21, 2009 13:51

        @static: thanks, it makes sense, yes :) guess one point in getting more and more back to 'real' instruments is that it's far more intuitive to 'encode' those things into the piece that can't be described by note, or rhythm, or signal... if that makes sense ;)

     3. static

        static on October 21, 2009 14:51

        @Nicken: For those who can play real instruments I completely agree with you;) For the others, I guess a good daw, a lot of patience and a deep sense of emotion!

  a small piano idea - i guess it will take some more time practicing to record a take i fully agree with. maybe i will add elements in future, but for now this is it... enjoy.

        einspruch! die flatbeat-bassline ist nicht wirklich ersetzbar. überleg dir, ob du eventuell sogar auf die gute analoge zurückgreifst. der neue bassklang ist viel zu fluffig und interferiert meines erachtens viel zu stark mit den mitten.

        @TheTelevisor: thank you man, but there are no synths around here ;)

        @TheTelevisor: hm.. i can just tell you what it is ;) it's a sample from my guitar-loopstation in reverse. made it two years ago, found it again, sampled it. all the dynamics come from this little guy, no filtering at all :)

        Nicken on August 24, 2008 14:25

        sorry, i think i was wrong, of course there's filtering, it's been a few days since i made this track... :)

        This part here right before the drop sort of reminds me of Jon Hopkins' newer stuff. Very nice and glitchy!
