Bobby Summa - Not a Dream

[Bobby Summa]

Bit of an interesting prog number, sounds quite joyful and alternative vibe wise I think.… Any thoughts of any sort much appreciated.

For example, any of these …or even all of the below :

Is it Complete / finished yet?

Any areas too complex or anything lacking?

is the atmosphere good?

Are any sounds / percussion too loud?

Is the structure there?

…Many thanks

The title is an absolute misnomer....what do you mean " Not a dream" , this song with its beautifull upbeat ethereal journey is as much a dream as any on my latest series.

Structure: Check. and I love how you finally didn't start off with an intro

Sound/percussion to loud: track could here and there do with some subtle leveling, (mainly deep bass v arp bass) don't know if you've mastered this yet but that would be the only thing.

Atmosphere: more then good. I'm getting early PVD 90-2000 era vibes from this.

Complexity: it has enough elements imo. not more then enough..but don't add more. ( I'm a sucker for chirpy little sound effects and arpies by the way so take that with a grain of salt)

Completeness: outro is a bit abrupt i think.

solid 8 out of 10

Thank you man

, (mastered no but have leveled most separate track sounds, not all)

About the title..yeah sure. I had a slight different take on the name meaning but it’s undoubtedly impossible to tell I guess.
- like the possibility of living a life so beautiful, it’s as if it were a dream,,,, only it’s not, it’s ‘reality’ Not a Dream - ok, given that’s impossible to tell…. I was also thinking along the lines of…. Dance of the fairytale….. / Fairytale of Life
