This is very dark and eerie... my kind of flavor. I bet some
ambient female vocals would make this even more "ghostly".
Is that downward arpeggio a GarageBand loop? It'd be nice
to hear it transposed or varied slightly so it doesn't get too
repetitive, which it does a bit here. Actually, I'd like to hear
the whole song change key at some point. I'd like to hear you
expand on the film you envision this with: what sort of film?
I'm off to hear some more of your stuff! P.S. You're from my
hometown. Nice seeing some other Milwaukee folks here.

interesting minimalist piece. a bit repetitive. i find the kick
kinda pops too much, but could be just my speakers.

sounds great swoop. i agree with misschaos some vocals
would be good. barry white- like maybe.
but as a film soundtrack it flows along nicely.

Like the percussion groove. Great base for a soundtrack.
Nice production work. Would love to see you come back and
retool it with some vocals.

Yes. This piece is definitely an underbelly for a cool
movie. Adventure, mystery, East-West, dark-darker. It's
already been mentioned that it's repetitive. So throw some
long threads over it ... distant train yard, undulating
sirens, searing electric viola, or something synthetic in the
mid to upper range.

My favorite detail is the little rasp rhythm that sits up
behind the high hat. I also recognize the sound of that
chime instrument, something Chinese I think, but I can't
think of what it is called. Great use for it though. It really
contributes a sense of wandering or uncertainty.

I also really like the way you play with the pattern of
phrases. I don't think you leave 4/4 time, but the
staggered arrangement of the phrases contributes to an
arhythmic feel, which heightens the sense of wandering.

I could see this being very effective in a film as a character
confronts some daunting realisation. Do you have any
clips on line?

you did some real inventive things with the percussion
loops-well done. man, this is a perfect bed for vocals. could
use a change up or break in there somewhere

Very good mix of sounds, excellent production. I like the feel
of this track and the several rhythms going on at once.

since it's just instrumental i think the genre is off. it's not really rap. more industrial or techno or trance. it seems to be well put together. it does pop a little as some one said. vocals yes would add nicely. i like the keyboard part. somewhat repetitive, but then that can make some of the best songs, with slight changes often in the vocals.
