Pumpkin King - Hyperspace 3 - September 2011

Post by Pumpkin King »

This one is a song I started maybe 3 years ago using Garageband, but I decided to complete the second half of the song and make some tweaks to get it finished, within the past few days. It's called Hyperspace 3 (I have two others that you all can check out).

So yeah, it's an electronic, almost a club dance song in a few spots, with a cool keyboard solo to finish it off.

Oh, the beginning clips at spots for some reason. Something with Soundcloud there...dunno how to fix that, it plays fine here on iTunes for me.

EDIT: I uploaded it to Soundclick, too. There is no clipping so I suggest listening to this version: http://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=11060893

Hi Again and

Thanks for this! MOST interesting with much to offer in rhythmic elements and the arp-like figure starting 0:29 is really downright pretty!!! Overall I find it a real surprise and very exciting of sounds and I simply LIKE it and would listen without worry for a bit anytime !!!

I like the general flow of the arp like sounds and the bass line heard as that drops out to the other added sounds later in the song.., which hold the interest well also!

At 2:12 the more synth. sound is such a NICE contrast to the earlier arps that it gives a real feel of space and openness and has a feel for use in some kind of movie situation ? it almost seems.... ? ? ? The piano notes are BEAUTIFUL! coming in as they do with the wonderful light quality VERY nice I thought . . . :oops: but well It's just pretty to me and I enjoyed it very much and listened several times !!

Best regards !!! Johnny John ellll ... :D

I'll admit, some of the melodies in the beginning that you hear are straight from Garageband (this goes for all the Hyperspace songs that I've done). Though not exactly the same. I did some editing, added different effects, manipulated things around. But I just want to confess that. I started this when I was new to DAWs. But I finished it up with some of my own original stuff in the end.

But thanks again for the listen. I may keep on doing more of these Hyperspace songs from time to time. When I work on these songs, I work much differently compared to a lot of the other things that I compose. And it's always nice to do things differently. That's something that I strive on doing when it comes to making music.
