Interesting use of movie snippets. Good mix, and there is a lot in there. The sax could be louder, and the melody maker is probably too loud --just opinions. Well done, Mark.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Hi Mark,

A long time I did not hear from you, but probably you were on the forum and I was not.
I like what I heard here from you. The title was well chosen because when I head the (female) vocals I thought "what did you say"
You are always very creative with sound. This song is no exception and the simple melody worked out just nice.
It's an intriguing song and in a way much too short!
Enjoyed it.
I also noticed you had another bulldog. Great!

Mark, this sounds great.

I think the sax should be as loud as the lead.

I liked those "vocal" inserts - brilliant

I'm not someone who actively listens to Lo-Fi Hip-Hop, but I sometimes listen to it as background music when I'm sitting at the computer because it relaxes me.
Nicely done!

Hello Mark,
I find the synthetic snare a bit loud & the tick tick a little distracting.
I really like what's happening in the soundscape and can imagine it with a more Massive Attack/Mezzanine or Portishead rhythm.

Mark ...

This is not a genre I listen to very often. But this was very entertaining and sounded good in my ears! Nicely done!

Smooth as velvet. Bring the sax up a bit and the lead instrument down just a tad. Nice pad work. Nice job...could be commercial with some tweaks.

Very creative Mark.

The use of the snippets is interesting and effective.

We do agree that the sax could come up ... it's a good mix that sets up up a nice soundstage on our monitors.

Enjoyed it,

J&B
