Bryan Teoh - Last Stop...

Release

StoreTags: whiney crap, guitar, pop

Author: Tripnik on October 29 2007

--> The full title of this track is "Last Stop, You'll Dream in 50 Places". It was written as a happy birthday track for a friend. It needs a lot more detail type work, and I'd like to push around some of the bigger ideas to make the track gel better, but this is the basic idea. I've been having a hell of a time making things sound clear in mixes lately for some reason. I hope this doesn't mean that my ears are dying.

Sounds good. Kind of reminds me of Denim's less jokey tunes.
The mix sounds clear enough to me.
Sounds a bit like Four-Tet too, that folkey tuning. Good stuff.

This is really lovely, man. Great orchestral/rhythmic contrast. Beautiful color. Really pretty material. I think it's amazingly successful. You should try and get this to a sync company (try Zync) because I'm sure a place could be found on some movie or something. Then it's your birthday gift to yourself!

I agree it could do with one level more detail, but it works really nicely just as is. Maybe could take an off rhythm bit of detail, so long as it doesn't distract too much.

This mix sounds nice and clear to me. If the guitars lack any high frequency detail, the mids compensate well. Maybe you just need to get new monitors or headphones.

I'd love to hear how this sounds after future revisions. I like it a lot so far.

reminds me a lot of greg davis's arbor album.

i really liked the middle with the repeating sample there, it had force, but it led into what felt like an outtro that seemed too soon. I can understand wanting to aoid the 'statement-breakdown-restatement' form, but i'm not sure you've got the form down just yet. the detail type work would make this stand out a little bette, as you say.

Other than that, the melodies were good and the mood was light and airy. Do check out arbor if you haven't heard it.

thanks for the comments guys! I'm not sold on the form of the piece either, flies. Two things that stick out to me the most are the lack of detail in the sound design, and the large sections that seem to have trouble finding peace with each other. The changes seem a bit contrived, and I'd like to find a way to build more momentum. All of the sections could use some more development imo. I have a copy of arbor, btw. I liked it, although admittedly I haven't spent a ton of time with it. Ironically I tend to be a bit apprehensive when it comes to the whole folk-tronic thing.

wow, this is really beautiful. i was a little confused by the off rhythm at first, but it worked for me after all. maybe i'd turn it a little down and eq it a little more into a narow direction now it takes up a lot of freq-space and leads to distraction.

same goes for the synth line. either make it in a direction, that it does take up a little less space.
or make it a bit bigger.

that repeating part, that works sort of as a bridge, is totally mint. i like how the guitar comes so stripped down afterwards

thanks for sharing.
i'd be really amazed getting this as a birthday gift

arbor isn't my favorite album either, although it's a decent exponent of the folktop style. Worth checking out as a reference, is all.

fwiw, the form works well for me until that point i mentioned. the repeating sample builds momentum very effectively, for me. some better way to follow it up would eb nice.
