Ivan Hakštok Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Link to the song: http://tindeck.com/listen/xmdl This idea came to me all of a sudden, and I think it's pretty neat for something done in couple of hours. Toyed a bit with measures, using 4/4 for the intro, 7/4 for the main theme and 3/4 for the breakdown, but I think it fits the arrangement perfectly. I tried to make it a bit longer but I think it already feels a little bit repetitive so I'd like to hear some suggestion for additional instruments that fit this style.

docnano Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Very cool start. I love the style you have going, and the interesting time signatures (of which I'm always a fan). In the repeated sections and some of the bridge you could try adding a countermelody played by some low strings. So far I'm not hearing the female vocal line from the source tune, so that might be a good candidate. This might add some textural variety throughout the mix. The flute could also be more expressive/varied -- maybe some parts in the beginning could be played an octave lower, or you could add some harmonies with a second flute or another woodwind (oboe?). Some well-placed accents, slurs, and dynamic changes could help keep the listener grounded in the interesting rhythmic landscape. Hooray for acoustic style mixes. More.
