Started to work on something else, and I love it.

I need help / feedback though.

I think its clear what I am trying to do at 3m10 sec, but as you can hear I fail. Some pointers on how to fix this would be appreciated.

Am I deviating to much from the hook ? (if that's the right word)
Or am I just not deviating right ?

I can listen to this for hours, so it seems to get me into a trance.
Bit worried about the percussion too, but I think it does not sound that bad?

Please be critical. :D

Slightly of topic, I am a bit jealous of people like John Lord.
He does not seem to have my problems, at all. :P
Beethoven never sounded that good.

second up for eino, you have progressed a lot!
I like what you do at 1:12 -good
at 1:50 you go the a breakdown, that never really is one, i find that part weak
at 3:10, yes i know what you think, and i can also hear disharmony - perhaps looking at the bass in this section?
Try to find notes that dont 'clash', and have nicer sounds in chords

Thank you.

I don't mind the feedback on soundcloud.
Although its fun, people like and share my music, for the feedback I need, soundcloud is not use-full at all.

About that breakdown, you are right, I still struggle a lot with transitions.
( last nite when listening to abba, I had an aha moment. They drop the melody, and have a few extra drum hits, to make a transition.
It sounds so easy, but I struggle to create them.)

Its funny how making music changes the way I listen to music, although I know those songs already for years.

About that bassline, I have already found the biggest problem. It goes up were the melody goes down.
I do not know if this is always wrong, but in this case it clearly is.

So I need to find nicer chords, thank you. I was worried for a moment, I was not going in the right direction at all.

If you use the LMMS sharing platform, It will be easier to see your work , and pinpoint issues, and makeup.

Thank I will upload the track, and maybe some more. I have already fixed a lot though, I might even have a nice transition to the break.
Its very amusing, that me as a hip hop fan, has issues making breaks.

Can I take it to the bridge? To quote james brown in sex machine.

I did download that turkisch thing you made, and I could not figure out in what key it was played LOL.
Some part looked like A minor but when I set the scale to that, it wont fit all tracks.

Aha, that explains it, thank you. So I was right in assuming it was not written in just one key.

And here is the latest version.
There is one part, I am not sure about yet, might need some fine tuning. (melody vs baseline)
Around 6 minutes, that still needs work. Or maybe more parts ?

C-Major and A-Minor uses exactly the same notes: Only white-keys
If you remember my video on chord/scales relationships,
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZEgx-_hMFYg
you maybe remember that chords in a key will change from minor to major as we go through all the scales notes
The Key of the piece is determined by the dominant bass-part

Thank you, and yes I remember that vid. The dominant bass-part determining the key is something I need to remember.

I wont hurt looking at that vid again though.
