Black Friday (updated)

Release

StoreTags: laid back

Author: albatrocity on November 25 2006

--> edit 11/25 -
Changed some things on the ride home. I like the arrangement better this way. I wasn't sure about the whistle at first, but now I like it. Let me know what you think. This is more or less finished.
If the new one isn't playing in the player (Black Friday.mp3) then you can get it here:

Did this at my grandparent's house. The environment was a little limiting. I don't think this is going to be the finished product, but feedback is appreciated.
Thanks

really nice production. nice and crispy..

i like the first part of the composition the best, definitely. still like the second tho, the textures sounded a little cheese to my tastes, just a tad.

great tho.

first off, i just have to say that 'albatrocity' is a fucking great handle

oh my, i really like the acoustic guitar layering - all live, i pressume

you seem to have transcended the shortcoming of you geriatric surroundings quite well

yeah. this has a nice vibe. laid back yet purposeful.
i like the tempo and layering you have going on. and the guitar is a very good element for this piece overall.
nice work! thanks for sharing.

peace

I'm not too crazy about the second part either. It'll probably get changed.

It's actually the name of one of my albums for my not-so-electronic stuff:

but I use it for a lot these days because I think it's so stinking clever.

Thanks for the feedback, guys.

beatiful and soothing. like the melodies quite a lot, except that sawish bitcrushed one. that didn't fit soundwise for my taste. but hey nevertheless a really nice piece.

i love the half-time beat... it's got a lot of the same vibe to the track i just posted. rhodes and electronics!

will you talk about how you got your panning edits done? was it all by hand or do you have an application?

11/25/06 + hardvoltnine

this is what i call a soothing track that subtley forces you to forget to care.

perfect!
