Workshop #168: The Alchemist’s Dream by Morpion

At Audiotuts+ we regularly put up a reader track for workshopping and critique (find out how to submit a track). This is how it works: you upload your song, and every week or so we’ll publish one here and step away from the podium. The floor is yours to talk about the track and how the artist can fix problems in and improve upon the mix and the song.

This track has been submitted for your friendly, constructive criticism. They have put their track (and their heart and soul) in your hands to learn and get useful feedback.

  • Do you enjoy the song or track itself? Does it have potential?
  • Can the arrangement be improved?
  • How did you find the mix? What would you do differently?
  • What do you enjoy about the rhythm track? What can be done to improve it?
  • Is the choice of instruments relevant and effective for the style/song?
  • Are the lyrics (if any) effective? Does the style, arrangement and genre of the song suit them?
  • Can you suggest any specific techniques that might improve the track?
  • Do you have any other constructive feedback?

Description of the track:

Ambient experimental dubstep/IDM. It’s the closing track for my forthcoming album “Headcleaner” that I’ll be releasing as a free download once it’s mastered. I try to work imperfections and random elements into my music production to make the music more interesting, hopefully without distracting too much from the main theme of the track. This is one of the more mellow tracks I’ve written. Thanks for your consideration.
