wow long time no see! very original piece here lots of variation from the get go. again i won't criticise for the "random" intro as i thinks its good to push the boundaries Wink

fuckin heavy when it drops think that reece could be toned down a tad? takes up a bit too much space imo would be nice to have the focus more towards the sub

still nice stuff overall! Bigup

Bit of a bizarre name, I guess you're into warcraft or some role playing business or something! Like the vocals in the intro. The beats don't have much body to them and some of the melodies and samples used sound a bit weird and not right to me. Sounds like you're trying to do something original but I'm not sure it's worked. Overall I think it's a bit cheesy and cluttered for my taste.

i think you're right about the bass, I'll shit more to the subs, that's how the mix is all geared towards is the bass there, that's why the drums seem to not have as much body in the rest of the song.

The name is not about games or anything, it's just saying a confirmation of no emotion. Ataraxia (ἈıÁ±¾¯±) is a Greek term used by Pyrrho and Epicurus for a limpid state, characterized by freedom from worry or any other preoccupation.

marukomu, i was listening to your myspace and i agree compared to yours, this is a lot more layered, then your style..

cluttered i don't think so. cluttered mixes are usually characterized by other elements being drowned out.it sounds to me good there. it's not minimalistic tho by any means.


sincerely tho, thank you for the comment of originality, that means more than anything else. that's really the only direction i strive for, everything else is just a means. Big Grin

thanks for the comments, i need some helps with this.

I like the initial idea of this tune.

For my linkin, there is overall a tad too much distortion on several elements but you probably wanted it that way.

0:42 sorta reminded me of super mario Big Grin .

If I were you, I’d take down the volume of some things like the recee and focus more on the drums. I think the tune would overall benefit from punchier drums (and with a bit more depth) that are leading through your nicely done, slightly evil sounding, soundscape.

Overall it’s an original tune but I’d work it some more.

Cheers!

i try to punch up the drums, layer some more beef on, and i think i'll do up some more vocals for it, i wanted to do a very much more vocal style of music. good quotes. anyone one got a suggestion for not needing emotion?

like a prayer to forgo all emotion.

This is very different to what I've been hearing very original I enjoyed the beginning the ahhs and the soundscapes. After that I thought the kicks and snares lacked some quality.... I think the problem the song went in so many different directions. But overall pretty cool ideas. At 21sec I didn't so much like that beat it was a little muffled.

Good though

I love everything about this tune except the drums. They are, as people have pointed out un-punchy. The beats are however nicely grooving. Nice work on the melodies and synth lines, they are oddly compelling. Drops are huge!

intro sets of good Big Grin
the sample is from some old kung fu flick
if i'm not mistaking
once it drops everythings is allright ; the choirs do their job right & the atari/nintendo sounds work fine aswell ;
second drop @ 1:40 is powerfull as fuck !!
i'm diggin the tune ;
my only advice is to turn up the low frequencies
this one could be a banger Wink
perfect it !!
grtz

that's what they said about Claude Monet work. he started the Industrial art movment. this continues it.

but thanks a lot man, you gave a pretty decent view on it, glad you got a bit more of an open mind to the music. it's whatever you want it to be.

havent checked a halph tune in a while

I first thought Ataraxia has something to do with Atari

first intro beat is not really fitting, Id ditch it cause the second one is more fitting

is this low on volume. oh but when it drops I realize it is, the sound levels vary greatly which is cool as in dynamics wise but IMO once it drops it shouldnt vary in volume so much

got that halph bizzarety alright, but it sounds empty at times, especially in the parts with vocals only, what I think are the buildups to the drops

drums could be fatter cause all the synths playing at once kinda overwhelm them, they do not collide with each other though but theres just too much of them at once and the beats are weak

I can hear improvement in sound quality over the time so ups for that. its got level issues which need to be adressed. the tune itself is not to my liking, I prefered the guitarish stuff you did, there was a NIN remix I think you did. more of that!

_edited for spelling
