Black_Doom Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 This is the 3rd arrangement of Secret of the forest is this year... And the final mix of 2013 is a Secret of the Forest mix too. And every of those mixes has its own style: dubstep, chiptune + cello, ambient/orchstral and now we have another interpretation of the source tune. And you know what? Doug is awesome. His percussion skills are insane, so I was prepared for something smooth, jazzy and I got it. He created terrific atmosphere with his glassy vibes. A bit mysterious, a bit gloomy, a bit bright. Great as always. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyberSkull Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Nice, fairly mellow version. I like the original, but at the same time I can't listen to it. I don't like the high notes in "Secret of the Forest" or "Yearnings of the Wind". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnum Octopus Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 That glissando at the very beginning was the perfect intro to a beautiful arrangement. Palpable mentioned the staccato section already, but that's just one example of the attention to detail on this track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DimeTower Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Boy, what a unique take. The staccato section really does catch your ear, but I actually enjoyed getting lost in the flowing (yet distinct hits) of the vibraphone. I feel that working within one instrument really allows some writing/playing talent to come to the forefront, and this mix has it in spades - what a joy to listen to the purity of this track, considering it takes the well-known source and gives it all kinds of character and interesting direction. Impressive!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OverClocked PodCast Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 You know, I just can't get into the vibraphone. Perhaps that empty cling is part of its beauty, but the instrument-- when played alone-- always sounds hollow to me. That said, I can hear the chilled out intricacies here and totally appreciate them. Well done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crulex Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 I'm really digging the smooth jazzy atmosphere behind the music of this ReMix, and hearing it off multiple percussion points is pretty cool. Might be my speakers or ears, but the vibraphone sounded a bit sharp at times, especially on the higher notes, but other than that little thing, quite the classy mix. I quite like this.

Chernabogue Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 This is beautiful. The arrangement is lovely, especially considering it's vibraphone-only. I love how you can hear Doug breathing while recording this, it adds a very natural feeling to the track. It's a very relaxing remix, with just the right amount of post-FX to improve what's already sounding excellent. Doug, please more! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Necrox Posted December 4, 2015 Share Posted December 4, 2015 GREAT arrangement of this tune. Every section has its place and the playing is excellent too. Just beautiful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
