00's style DEMO

[Lawn Jarre]

Hey guys, greetings from China. It's been a long time since I last spoke in this community. I'm coming back with a new track, with some melody inspirations from Gouryella. Definitely need some feedbacks from you all. Thanks.

listening on my phone now so i probably won't be able to feedback on specific issues, but what i'm hearing sounds nice!

Liking what i'm hearing!

Breakdown is very nice, i'm getting Walhalla vibes with this!

A lot to like here.
Musically this sounds great. That main melody is fantastic and really captures that Gouryella vibe. It actually reminds me a lot of Driftmoon's recent 'Tribe of the Sun' track (which was also inspired by Gouryella)

I think the drums and the bassline need a lot of work though. The drums feel way too simplistic, as does the bassline.
Go back and listen to some of the old Gouryella tracks. Ferry hardly ever uses an offbeat bassline, he'll come up with a bass rythm that compliments the rest of the track. He often uses that 16th note baseline with the offbeat note being an octave higher like on the original Gouryella track, the 1998 remix and on Tenshi. There is the mid-bass there, but it doesn't cut through enough to alter the rhythm of the track.

Overall, that melody is excellent, get a good bass and drums behind it and this will be a banger!

Thanks a lot mate!!! I'm still working on it. Yes ur right, the bassline isn't sounding like Gouryella or Moonman exactly. Great idea to program it again and try to make it sound better. I'm making sounds by my own, not from samples. So the sound design counld make some problems but I think I would fix it(like you said the mid bass). And btw do you think if some tribal percussions would be needed?

Just listening it now and I am blown away. Sounds amazing and I love the breakdown. I was you I would follow what Lost Legend says, but even at that stage the song sounds great for me. I always had the impression that drums doesn't matter that much in trance like say techno and house, but it's always nice to have something more memorable too. Although for me the drums sounds good, but that's just me, I have a very simplistic melody oriented taste.

Good, kind music. You did great.
