First of all, I've gotta ask you if IDM stands for anything, cause I've got
a feeling I might be missing out on entire genre of interesting music at
the moment.
Anyway, this is probably my favourite out of the 3. The mix is very
much to my tastes (lots more bass than the first and the higher
frequencies are more occasional).
Struggling for critisisms here but... one of the things I've kept through
the other pieces is that the foreground and background material feel
misplaced to me. Foreground and background are generally
determined by the level of reverb and volume... and on all of these
songs, the melodic material is quite wet (lots of reverb) compared to
the drum tracks (though there were some nice and noticable occasions
where the drum tracks had a lot of reverb to them) and are also softer
than the drum tracks. So even though the melodic stuff is nice to
listen to, its the drum tracks that attract all my focus.
That all being said, I can understand that a lot of that stuff (especially
the reverb side) may just be a consequence of the glitchy nature of the
music or the genre itself. If it is, then feel free to discard that
comment.
The only other thing... is that I think I wanted the song to build just a
little more towards the end or something. Maybe a stronger focus on
the melodic material... lots of doubling... making a very full sound.
Eitherway, this stuff is great... and you've convinced me to start
downloading at least this trio (I havn't actually downloaded any other
music from MacJams yet). So congratulations :P
