Alright, here’s a new track I finished working on almost 5 months back. I just couldn’t convince myself to actually upload it. I am not at all happy with the mixing I did on this one. I tried to use natural sounds but modify them to an extent so that they are barely recognizable and sound electronic. I haven’t been entirely successful in doing so. When I listen to it now, it just sounds silly :).
More technically, I think the overall level of this track is very low. I used Sound Forge 9.0 to master it, and I am sure it must have sounded right back then. It’s level is considerably low compared to the other tracks on the play list. Also, I think I overused the compressor on certain tracks of this mix. I hear the “bending” of sound at certain points which I don’t particularly like. The melody totally overtakes the sound and tends to stand out. I just uploaded it because I wanted to post a new track, its been ages.
Hope you like it in whatever condition it is.
Its called Sky To Earth because I wanted to use a picture I took as the album art for this track. The picture has God Rays coming down from the sky onto lush green trees. I’d upload it as soon as I find it.
Play it using the player on the sidebar or use the mini player below.

New format huh. Really dig the clean layout. One small thing, the player starts playing automatically when the page loads – sort of catches you off guard :P. As for the track, you played sky to earth before but in parts I guess. The percussion such as temple bell sounds and the tabla sound really blend well with the rain and gives the intended effect. Also felt that the melody could be more sustained as the track progresses – as it would give a nice tightness to the track. This doesn’t sound silly man – stop taking the ass of your creations :P This sounds awesome – maybe I’m not the trained listener, but I’m one among the mass. Btw howz iPhone your app coming along?
P.S: Say hi to Anamika!

Thanks for your encouraging comments man. The more you learn, the more you realize how little you know, I think that’s what my problem with self-criticism is.
The iPhone app is still going on. I see a few people have tried to create the same app, but lets see how far mine goes.
