Thanks for listening and dropping some feedback!
RE slow build ups, it's actually critique even been getting on a few songs I've done for jams recently. Personally, I quite like slow build ups and getting that hypnotic effect going. Admittedly, there is a fine line between hypnotic and dull, something I'll work on :)
This is the song that very much inspired my track - "CGI Snake - Chris Zabriskie". Also has a very slow build up and sticks to the one idea. Would you say you also find this too slow? Listening to this now, there is definitely a lot more progression and movement in the background swells. It's subtle but it definitely makes the song more dynamic.
Haha, yeah had trouble finding a space for an aux percussion in my track. Just felt a bit forced and that's where I was okay incorporate it into the foley section. It ended up blending so well I can see what it's hard to miss.
Anyway, appreciate the comment! Will be sure to give your track a listen!
