[eyes open (freestyled)]

Is that you singing? You sound like Daedelus. It sounds dope

xxxZigZagxxx responds:

Ya that’s me! Thank you v much, Daedelus is cool ^_^

[lofi 4 gd]

That piano sample rocks so hard

Bassline's also fantastic

Wish I heard this sooner

[neighbourly (a.k.a. i have no self control and i must riff)]

I agree with 7t3v3n, it kinda reminds me of the more chill moments on that Cornelius album Point

xxxZigZagxxx responds:

This makes me happy too! But also I didn't know that album until you pointed it out, I had a quick scan over the songs and I really like the sounds produced in it. Hope you're having a good day, phospho :)

[Withdrawal]

That drum pattern is bonkers. Love the strings, too.

B-RadGfromOV responds:

Thanks dude! Yeah most of the instrumentation and some drums were in place and Anjovi came thru with a killer groove idea and another sample. Came together nicely 😁

[Possible]

I love the arpeggiating guitar at 0:57 and I dig the intro. Only thing I don't like is the drums are a bit too loud for me. Maybe you could put a limiter on them or something. That said, the drum pattern is really cool.

[Free to Start Living]

I wish the bass was more prominent. I like the weird pitch-shifting effects you use. You using a granulizer on the vocals, or is that just auto-tune stuff?

The chords at 1:13 were suuuuuuuuper cool

xxxZigZagxxx responds:

Thank you! <3

The vocals are 1 pitched down an octave, and 1 layer pitched up an octave.

Both have EQ, Auto-Tune (just in major key), Noise Gate, Reverb, Delay, Compressor, another Delay, Stereo Enhancer and then another EQ. I just add effects until it sounds good to me. ;)

Thanks for the note on the chords! That was a synth preset called "AT Rising Fog" on Serum using the pack "Dark Prairie". I just arpeggiated that.

[FUCK SPLICE]

You went loco with the tape stops, lmao. I think the beat's pretty cool. Were you going for a cloud rap sorta vibe?

slowfreq responds:

I was stealing every trick from the Acid Souljah playbook because I don't know how to rap lol

[Genie]

That's dope, reminds me of Prefuse 73 in like 2003. Textures are cool. I wish the snare had more oomph. Really cool beat.

B-RadGfromOV responds:

Thanks dog.

[Boromir]

That song's rad. I love the way the guitar follows the vocals as the tempo fluctuates -- I'm guessing you recorded both at the same time? Sounds dope.

I'm wondering how the mix would sound if the panning was a little more extreme. I got the sense that guitar and vocals were both dead center. Maybe you could try that John Lennon ADR stuff to create the illusion everything's double-tracked.

Interesting choice at the end, singing the word "toward" like "too-word" -- I always thought that word was one syllable, but it sounded cool the way you sang it.

I dig that "moonlight won't reach your eyes" line, it puts a cool image in my head

B-RadGfromOV responds:

Yeah this is just one take playing and singing same time. I put a compressor on to oomph the volume a bit but didn't think to mess with anything else so it's just that single-mic centered sound.
Thanks for kind words man. I'm gonna try writin some more guitar/singing stuff.

[i reused that sample again]

I feel like I heard that sample in a Viper song... idk

I hear the cowbells, very nice. I like the bassline a lot, especially that quick motion it makes at 0:13. I like the volume on the snares but they sound a tad abrasive -- if you fiddled around with the EQ, that might smooth 'em out.

Cool beat!

slowfreq responds:

If you heard it in a Viper song then he stole it from me, cause I made it myself lol
