New tracks : Faraway Tale // Lucid Dreaming

[qantuum]

Dear LMMS friends;

it's been some weeks since I've last posted.
First I would like to wish you a happy new year 2018 with its lots of fullfillment, experiences and surprises !

Secondly I come to show you my latest track, which could totally fit in my "chill-universe" theme playlist :
https://soundcloud.com/marvin-shmn/faraway-tale

This track is born in 4-5 hours. I was comparing different chords on the same top note (major 7th, minor 7th, major, major 9th) and then I got a feeling that this uncommon progression was chill af. Result : it gives a 4-chord progression with a different key each time : C-C#m-G#m-A; so my efforts to follow music theory are again turned down ^^.
The track also includes :
- my first sidechain trial
- effects : Calf Reverb, C*Eq, Calf Pulsator (renders good in earphones)
- a bridge
- a pre-conclusion
- overly simple perc pattern (still not my mastery field)

I hope you'll enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it and using it for meditation haha !
Cheers,

Edit : Since I've posted another track later in this topic, here it is : Lucid Dreaming

Relaxing one.

Typically, on this type of track, it makes me want to play with automations effects, graduall, to find out what can be hidden.

Really cool chord progression. Very dreamy indeed.

Wow! This track really does have, a relaxing chill feel to it.
A good listen.

Thanks a lot for the feedback people !

I still feel like I am not handling everything well - like melodies, drum patterns, etc... But I do my best offering at least nice sound design and cool chords / color notes, fortunate stackings, etc.

@D.Ipsum in my new piece I tried to dig some more things, you may want to check it : Lucid Dreaming

Actually I have one automation running there but I am not sure what it does. It affects the "Attack" parameter in the Peak Controller I use for my sidechain.

Lol on the visual of Lucid Dreaming, an inspiring title. Nice development, very quiet, the aquatic effects used speak to me (it reminds me of a track of Symbient in which I was also absorbed by the aquatic effects), a discreet incursion of drums, pleasant.

Thanks mister.

One of my friends was also caught by this aquatic ambiance.
This aquatic sounds are performed with one of the built-in elements from ZynAddSubFX.

That's cool; I hope I will find ways to use it again.
