Working on this through earbuds in a department store and I saw a kid waiting in line with his mom. He was 13 or 14, clearly autistic, or developmentally challenged, or otherwise unable to make his own way entirely. But he was not clinging to his mom and did not seem hesitant or fearful or inert. He was rocking back and forth fielrcely and had the biggest, goofiest beaming smile on his face. He was checking everybody else out, nodding a quick hello while he rocked on. At one point he synched to the beat of this tune. The stuffy sine layer under the square is because the earbuds I was stuck with don't push any bass. I left it in.

i liked this.

I think that the synth line is monotinous, but but it keeps the energy going. I think some more crushed beats would have peaked my interest.

but hey, who actually listens to all of our rambling on this website about good and bad, and likes and additions and wants...this site is soo diverse that is is so hard to be able gage a comment worth while. I guess its best to listen to comments that are from people who are into the same music as you.

good song.

AAAAAWWWWWWWEEEEEEEEEE TISM!

enjoyed the nice combination of sounds & i like the bassline tons! despite the nice blasts of affects automation on it though, is a little monotonous perhaps as volt9 mentioned. and the drums, yes, agreed, a bit less basic sounding drums would ignite this more, slightly more powerful drums maybe? sorry, production's not my strong point. Just stabbing in the dark. I generally quite like your melodies & mood. I think you should be more courageous, you're obviously quite confident with coming up with nice tasty melodies. Develop them. Make more of a story/trip out of it.

thank you! very helpful and encouraging comments. in this I had tried to do something using minimal variations in the lead and percussion lines. but perhaps it did end up a bit tedious even at 3:05. thanks, Jetsom, for the courage.
