9 Minutes 25 Seconds of Hypnotic Psychedelic Dub

It’s been a while…but Cloudwalker has finally finished a new tune! :D
It’s my first “real” track in over 2 years.
Heavily inspired by the likes of Scilly Automatic and Evildoers by Ott…
I’ve been working on this one for over 4 months now. You figure 1-8 hours a day….120 days….
Let’s just say there’s been a lot of blood, sweat, and tears put into this one.

Everything in this track was done by me. No loops or sample libraries.
This is also my first track with live recorded percussion and sound effects.
I wrote this track to tell a story, and recreate the feelings and atmosphere from that event.
Without going into too much detail, it’s about 3 beloved relatives as they embark on a twisted and deranged journey into their own minds.

“What happens when you’re stripped of all ego, and you try to eat an orange?
You realize, then, that the orange tree is selfish because their fruits are only half-edible.
And by that logic, all things are possible…”

Subject to interpretation. 
and, of course, open to comments, suggestions, and critiques.

Thank for listening

F***ing sweet track dude. Kudos on finishing one. I’m having that issue at the mo. Just can’t started, get started can’t progress with it. Make some progression and then just can’t finish.

Can defo hear the Ott influence. This is a cool trip. The only thing, tiny little miniscal detail, hardly seems worth mentioning. The vocal sample just needs a litle tweaking imo. Personally I would have it more subtle. It seemed like it was gonig to shout. But as I say that’s my opinion. It’s your story so maybe you want it told in a certain way.

But the track itself is awesome. Good job. I have to listen again.

Thanks for the kind words Dimu.
I kinda agree on the vocal sample…but honestly…I’m so washed out from this track…
probably wont go back and fix it….
Unless I am contacted by Twisted of course…. 

I went through the exact same problems you’re mentioning.
It’s funny how it works, eh Dimu?
Creativity is an uninvited guest. It comes and goes as it pleases…
The best thing you can do is hang in there…
Good luck. I’ll be watching for any new works of yours.

Btw: Next track is going to be in a 15/16 time signature.
Influenced by Trunch to Stromness…
Should be interesting.  :D

I cant hear it for some reason. Have you removed it? Or can I find the track somewhere else?

You tried the audio player on the right?

and the “High Stream” (HS) option next to the song logo?
The icon looks like this:

If neither of those work, lemme know.
The song is playing fine for me on both fronts.

Now it worked! I’ve tried everything before, without success. Maybe it was problems with IE or something. Tried with Chrome today.

This is a very nice track!  I like it very much! It sort of makes me happy and sad at the same time.

I agree with DiMuTech, the vocal samples (3:50, 5:29) need a bit of tweaking. In my opinion they’re a bit harsh for the mood of the song.

It kinda reminds me of Monkey Island’s voodoo lady themes, reminds me of good old times The feeling perfectly fits the song, btw. I like your track a lot, great job. The 2:09 arpeggio is beautiful. The song needs a bit of tweaking but it’s awesome.

I’m looking forward to your 15/16 time signature track Hope to hear it soon.

nicely done man.  sounds awesome.  production is dope and all the effects are great.  the bass by the end gets to be a bit weird melodically, it seems to jump notes a bit too randomly without any cohesive sense of staying in key and groove, especially being in an odd time signature, there’s nothing to keep the listener grounded.

can’t help but think its a little too ott-like however.  i find it hard not to write music like them too, haha, but this one is a bit too close to ott for me.  can’t blame you though

respect on the production and sonic level though, love the sounds

-slice one

Hey dude - great effort but it doesn’t do anything for me to be honest. It sounds too much like OTT and I would have appreciate something that was unique to you - that was your sound. Also, it doesn’t really make me think - same sounds looping here and there with a few additional sounds sprinkled on top and below. Sorry but just my opinion.

To put things in perspective I dislike OTT’s Skylon as well. Loved In Dub and Blumenkraft but Skylon was very disappointing - simplistic beats and melodies looped over and over. Seems like he didn’t put enough thought into the music and got the album out in a rush.

Wow! this is a sick track! love the whole trippy intro/outro thing.
I have absolutely zero problem with it sounding pretty Ott-ish, as Ott is amazing and there is very little out there up to his standards. this track certainly does it for me though. your bass sound is v tight too.
nice one!
