DragonAvenger Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 halc (13226) Drew Wheeler 'Sinking Deeper' Final Fantasy V Source: Beyond the Deep Blue Sea Comments: I haven't done any FF since my Besaid mix, so I figure it's about time I give the series a little more love. I've been poking around, picking out some of the more chill themes- the recent FF5 album gave me a little burst of inspiration so I decided to start there. Hope you like it! ------------------------------------ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonAvenger Posted December 10, 2010 Author Share Posted December 10, 2010 Not much to say about this one. You've got your typical Halc style going on, using and abusing the chip sounds with some more organic sounds. The source is incorporated nicely, and I like the chill, 'spa resort', feel. Sliding the pitch around makes things feel very wavering, which adds to the overall depth (get it?). I'm not totally crazy about the transition to the slower tempo at the end, it felt a little awkward. Sounds good, although I'm looking forward to hearing you expand more on your styles!

OceansAndrew Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 Listening to the source I could already imagine what halc would do with this, and cool enough, I wasn't that far off . The semi-reversed synth was cool, but the attack sounded really weird to me. Otherwise, the textures were sweet, the flow was good, tranitions were strong, etc etc. You know what you are doing, and you are sortof pushing boundaries. It's good, but the reverse synth isn't doing it for me. The rest makes up for it though, and the arrangement is classy. Yes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anosou Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 Haven't judged a halc mix in a while, nice to be back in action. Let's see then... ok. YES You really get this arranging business. Constantly varying things up melodically, harmonically and texturally. The only thing I can think to criticize is that the track is a bit too breathing and pumping, easy with the compression/mastering my friend! Overall, great track though. You make it seem so easy.

Palpable Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Pretty trippy pumping, especially on headphones, but I'm gonna guess that's intentional. It didn't sound overly done, just a little odd. I liked the slowed down last section. It made me want to take a nap. YES Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
