I have to agree with Colab, about the guitar. It’s very lovely. I’m also inspired by your mix and her pella .
With her vocals and the direction that you’ve taken the music, i would have used real sounding drums. Just my opinion. Nice mix. |

This is beautiful, I’m in love with those guitars. I absolutely adore your take on this, even as sparse and…well…not perfect…as the vocals are, it fits the whole thing perfectly and it’s like a cross between industrial wasteland and living room jam session. I actually like the synthy drums a lot…go figure. :)

there’s a real dichotomy between the experimental side and the beautifully produced voice & guitar. if the voice & guitar had been granulated the piece wouldn’t have worked as well as it does. but those sounds underscore the doubt & even resignation in jacinda’s vocal. for me it works.

Really nice stuff. I love minimalist arrangements, and you’ve really brought out the vocal by doing that here. The interplay between voice and guitar is particularly nice.

I actually don’t have a problem with the instrumentation - per se - I think if you have lined them up in sync you’d find the reaction wouldn’t be so “torn”

I like the contrast between delicacy and electronic experimentalism. I think the voice is perfectly wrapped with the sound´s curtain created by your imagination.
Very good job for me. |

It’s interesting to read the different comments the mix has evoked and goes to emphasise the success of what you have produced.
On my first listen I agreed with some of the comments and felt the song needed a straight forward approach but having taken a few more listens I think the introduction of the FX type sounds and the synthy drums is what gives this mix that extra something. On one level it fails but on another its a brilliant piece of work. I’m with the latter on this. Great stuff!! |

Hey Khidir…
I have read all my fellows mixters had said about ur piece, and I have to say that I really like ur take on this pella. It is kind of different from Colab’s point of view of this, and that is what I like the most about ccmixter, to see in how many different ways a song can be mixed a lot of time. I really like ur minimalist arrange for this song. Really nice work!! |

What a shift from this to something like “I Dream” (I’m going through your stuff after a few weeks of being away from listening to music from the site). Beautiful, tasteful guitars and electronics, a great vibe for this song. As others have mentioned, there were maybe one or two guitar hits that sounded a liiiittle bit off-tempo, but honestly, those really don’t matter - this is first-rate.
