Finally There, the first "Open Dynamic CD Project"
An ODCDP is a CD that changes over time. Most of the time new versions means new tracks added, although there are no limits on what can change or be included on it.
I like to think that is kind of an open source software project, with the difference that only the artist modify the project (although suggestions are welcome). With new versions, most of the time you get more content.
The artist will decide when his project its final... reaching the desired number of tracks, being satisfied with the project, or whatever he considers; there is no reason why an artist should be following any rules at all.

Subject: The idea is cool
Subject: The idea is cool
As I listened to the first two tracks which were ok but basic, I started craving more timbres (instruments other than piano, bass and what sounds like casio drums) but I am a fanatic of trying to use different voices and a tad bit too many layers (according to some). Then track 3 came on and I thought there would be some variation for the first few seconds but it's the same instruments.
Track 4 is cool and fits the minimalist choice of voicing well. The panning of drums in the stereo field in some tracks seems like they are keyboard presets, I try to pan them a little center because most keyboards only have a few positions center, soft right/left and hard right/left. So the toms sometimes sound like they are offstage sitting in the seat next to you... I break the rules all the time but most people can't handle it when you go outside the box. I have used the thunderstorm before so I think that is a right of passage for an electronic musician.
Track 5 is another example of fairly decent use of few voices that works and has more twists and turns to keep your interest the piano is panned slightly wide (I used to do the same thing) but I can live with it and it's most obvious on headphones. I would pan the stereo piano sound which is not bad a little closer to center.
Track 6 has the closest ring to jazz in my opinion and the part where it picks up is cool like an 80's hospital TV drama. I was thinking it is dying for some sax or pads, and then you brought in some strings 2 bars after I thought that so we're almost on the same page on this one!
Track 7... I think you are teasing us with promises of more voices by placing that synthetic speech sample and then the pads come in. Maybe you are building up the layers as the tracks progress.
Track 8 puts you in my neighborhood with soundscapes and stuff. Cool ambient stuff and more interesting from this point on. Also we get a little more energy and drive to the beats and piano with a loose chromatically swerving tonal palet and some double bass! With a cool and fitting end song.
Overall not bad, a little sparse track wise for my liking and it could use some variation on instruments but that is just my opinion. For background music that you don't need to aggressively critique with your frontal lobe this works and your mix quality is better than most stuff dumped here. I would thicken up (sparingly if you want to keep that minimalist open vibe which is good too) the mix with some more pads and pan the drums slightly center but I do weird stuff with the stereo field so that suggestion can be ignored if that was your intent. Oh and you get another star for having django and satriani on your myspace page!
I sent you a request on slutspace by the way, hope to hear more stuff form you. Check out how we generate traffic from bulletins and joining groups over there and stuff.
