could be overly harsh (as most times haha) right now.
oh no you're not. and by all means keep it up
but just to feedback the feedback-back a little. The problem for me as a musician when i'm reading this is: Most of what you describe as things you don't like/critique is too overtly opaque or just plain subjective, that I'm having trouble expanding on it for future works. for instance:
or:
dont find any of them hugely interesting nor emotive
^
I don't know what that means. or better yet, how to precisely fix that in a way that you would like.
I have no idea on what it is precisely that makes this musically uninterresting or "unemotive" for you specifically.
like. say: I could interpret musically uninterresting as giving a future production a go with say: Jazz progressions or, 7th tone bassline chords or more cowbell, what have you.. But I 1 still don't know if that would quote on quote "please" your specific taste. and 2 it by all intents and purposes wouldn't colloquially be trance anymore but entirely something else
(believe me, I have hundreds of these experimental tracks on my PC and they're simply too complex/chaotic to be given that label, might drop a few in the future here for feedback though)
Now don't get me wrong. Out of all the reviews i find yours by far the most interesting constructive and thorough to read and please, pretty please keep it up as it might very well be me who's just to thick to understand what it is you're saying/suggesting.. But this is the problem with "but it just doesn't feel the way i would like" .
it might also for instance very well be the case that you're just... bored of trance in general, And so aside from the emotional echo you still have with reminicent tracks from the good old days..(at least thats how my mind sometimes works) anything new just doesn't vibe all that well and so that no matter what I write that could still within reason be considered a trance track is just well...uninterresting to you.
So this is why its hard for me to expand on what is presumably your most fundamental critique. But I will take it with me anyhow and who knows, maybe down the line it will click in my head so to speak.
that said:
Its like Pvds album "out there" in a sense. I dont think anyone woud call that album a hugely impressive complex musical written album but its got its other qualities such as its "sofistication" and its seamless storytelling.
this is by far the best thing i've read in terms of (semi) compliments for the album. The album, like Alphanumeric, was intended to narrate the world(s) or Paracosm, I had in my mind when writing this.
I actually turned down an idea by
@Hensmon who (smartly) suggested dropping a few or one track as a teaser before the whole album release. I turned him down on that precisely because Paracosm is designed/written and so meant as a whole.
