Fade Away (melancholic, wistful, vocals)

[Artifex 28]

 

Greetings from Finland!

 

I just joined on the forums, and thought I would share what I've made previously. :)

 

I am rather new composer, or well new digital composer at least. I'm on my last semester studying digital sound and commercial music at the University of Tampere.

 

Fade Away is a track from first year. It's a simple, melancholic track with ...way too loud kick. :D

Then again, I don't re-publish tracks to fix mistakes. Instead trying to learn from those!

 

I certainly would do some things different now - would lower the kick & snare, but then again I wasn't the main guy behind the mixing table.

 

Would love some feedback. What works, what doesn't? Kick is obviously too loud, specially on verses. But anything else?

its sounds pretty solid to me. Maybe a third verse that sounds completely different just to break it up a little and maybe replace the choir synth with strings but other than that pretty good.

Thanks for having the time to listen & comment.

I often use the first instrument that just happens to sound "decently good". I guess all of these tracks are demos after all and I would believe they would sound quite different with real time (and skill). The song is very simple and certainly could benefit from an additional part/segment with a "new sound" providing some variance.
