<Chillout/Ambiant> Unrestful Dreams

The truly amazing part about this track was the way it was produced. Completely randomized inside Abletons follow actions in session view with some live knob twisting to create progressions in the key/transposition/and many synth parameters. Only two instances of Z3ta+2 were used and absolutley no echo effects, no matter what it may sound not a single delay unit/vst/synth effect was used.

This song needs to be listened it proper stereo speakers spaced evenly between themselves and you, headphones will do alright but they won't quite give the same effect. Close your eyes and let the music take you somewhere.

As always, beautifully executed. The arpeggios and pads are all really nice, everything's subdued and calm. Kinda sounds FF-ish

FF as in final fantasy I presume. It was a fun one to make and record, thanks.

Ah, this is a magical piece. Maybe not a "sit down and listen to" song but it's great for just putting on and chilling, as the tag implies.

Well i hate to be mr negative i couldn't like this track the beginning is okay but then it just gets weirder and weirder sounding throughout and it doesn't change or have any interesting breaks or bridges that i like you said to close my eyes and let it take me somewhere but i ended up expecting relaxing I'm quite frankly in a sense of nervousness and obscurity. musically not something i would listen to again.

very ambiant ish :D! i really do like how use used the "3D stage" of the speakers. like its not mono in the center or static in both left and right speakers. dem chimes be moving all around and about! :D

and follow actions are awesome. i havent used them a whole lot but with drums, they be a lot of fun :D!

From the feedback given on the track so far says people either love it or hate it so I don't think your being mr negative or anything. Thanks for telling me honestly though, sorry you didn't like it.

dem chimes were made to move! Thinking about it again I wish I made another layer or reverse phased chimes that sound like they come from outside the left and right speakers, similar to a surround sound effect with the two speakers.
