That intro is fun, with the mixture of sound and mild glitch.
I like the way that vocals resonate in the mix, almost as if we were listening to something south Asian and mildly cinematic. The mix is arguably a bit busy during the first 2 minutes. I’d like to hear the bass pulled up a bit, because the bass/vocal interplay might be cool. I like the taper-and-resume around 1:58. I’ll have to check my balance, but the vox always comes out of one headphone, and it might be fun to have panned it about a bit, as if she were shifting position (a bit more one of the backing vocals does a bit of this). I really like that break into a quieter mood around 3:30. It’s good to leaven up the piece this way. The backing riffs sometimes don’t punch as hard as they might, although it’s very tricky, because you wisely avoid overwhelming the vocals. I like that little keyboard/synth melody line that propels along in the background. A lot of imagination went into this—a really complex and interesting mix. It doesn’t all work for me, but I think you have really put a lot of thought into this one, and it’s really a cool mix. |

Thanks G. All very good comments and valid issues. I posted it w/o being fully happy with the release. The dynamics could be stronger and the vocal pitch shifting a bit smoother (for my taste at least). At six minutes, it’s a bit long for my short attention span.
I’m going to sit on this for a month or so, then remix it again. I’ve found that letting these pieces simmer for a while really changes my perspective. Thanks for the review. |
