Description
My DAW was pretty straightforward; it was LMMS and Audacity with my Snowball Blue. In an art studio, not a sound studio, so not ideal... but workable! A video shows the playback with some highlights on effect settings.
Message from the artist
This is a (very) early pitch for theme music to the up-and-coming cartoon, Sky Blazers! Also a game, think Rim World meets Mirror's Edge on a bunch of colony zeppelins. Little to be seen, for now, but it's happening. Thanks for the opportunity to jam a theme out, and tell me what you think!
If you do really want to use it, or a part of it, for your own project, contact me. I'll take it on a case-by-case.
Theme
How does it fit the theme?
Picture yourself on a blimp, hovering high above Venus, with the whole planet to yourself.

the instrumentation you chose for your title theme is fascinating, it hints at a very interesting aesthetic either for the visual development or the in-world technology! very nicely done incorporating your vocals into the track also, it gives the theme a bit of a darker tinge... :0
i think along with what others have mentioned, i'd love to have some transitional sections between the more melodic parts and the drum-heavy bridges! but overall, well done; best of luck with your animatic!!
Thank you! I'm intending to follow that feedback; I've been animating and designing my ass off for weeks. Best to you too!
This is a cool track! I liked the vocal parts of the track, gave almost a tiki vibe to it. I think one area to focus on is some more harmonic/melodic progression--it would help the music tell more of a story. Nice work.
I appreciate it! I've been absolutely crushed with design tasks for the past few weeks, but the feedback on the music has been very helpful! Thanks for participating in the jam with me!
I love music with a lot of synths so this sounded really great!!! Good job :DDDDDDDDDD
From skimming the description and your other replies here, hot damn - you've got a busy 3 months ahead!
There were some interesting ideas in this; the beginning caught me off guard with the vocals. The main patches are pretty mystical and out there, with quite a few textures buried beneath for more aural intrigue. I think the drum break sections need a little more supporting elements to really make them pop - the second time around it seemed more developed than the first.
Very unique take on things, definitely stands out as one of the more distinct submissions! Good work, and best of luck - with the jam, and the coming three months!
Thanks friend! Yeah, I've been building like crazy for weeks now, but it's looking sharper and sharper!
Best!
The vocals are a really cool idea! The drums were mixed a little too loud imo, I would've liked to hear the digeridoo sound a little more during the times its the only other instrument playing
Thanks man! I just had to leave this for a few days for some work, but it's good to see people are enjoying it. That dij sound is the resonant strings from a sitar, somewhere around C#. I'll dampen the drums bit, or tighten their field.
I briefly thought the youtube link was the actual song but i think that's meant to be a walk through instead?
anyway nice ambient piece! very unique for sure and i could see it in a rim world style game definitely.
Thanks, that's the plan in a nutshell. It's going to be featured in the game, and in a complementing cartoon. I've got about three months, alongside scripting, animating, and set design, to improve on it before an expo. Thanks for the listen!
I like the ideas here, the drum patterns are nice and the mario64 bowser-like vocal texture gives it some uniqueness but they feel like ideas for different songs that could be expanded upon more.
I think it would be served well with some kind of dramatic tension from a higher-pitched instrument, maybe even a saxophone. I'm going to keep this in mind. I've got about three months before I'm debuting it, so there's time.
Hmm... drum parts, beats mixed with synthesizers and a drug addict's voice? I like it!
But, of course, I would like a little more variety of melodies:>
Rawr!
Thanks buddy. I'm going to be building on this a bit over the next three months; I'm hoping to demo it at an animation expo. 48-hour jams are great for getting an idea out of the way, aren't they?
I think it becomes a touch too repetitive without much variation in melody.
A different section or 2 with unique melodies would improve track greatly!
I'm looking into that. I feel like it would be well served with some building dramatic tension, too. Thanks for listening!
