Feb 2022 fawmtronica no-excuses
just a laid back little track.
Started with a simple chord progression I use way too often, then used a lot of Arcade vocal samples for most of the atmospheric vox and main "i promise" vox; chopped it in half.
Very very simple drum programming. Small chord variations. A little simple motif and the keys.
Bring in more vox to give the ear something to hold onto. Use little bits and pieces of vocals for rhythmic effect yadda yadda
Then a change up to something a little harder.
Gotta keep popping these tracks out.
Guess this album will be more on the mellow side.

I’m just relistening to all your tracks now. I LOVE your music so much. You’ve got such feeling and attention for detail. You make it hard to listen to other people cuz I just keep coming back to your stuff!

God the space in this is stunningly beautiful. Those vocal samples are super on point, and the e piano is giving me chills. The breakdown right before the beat really kicks in strong is giving me some contemporary dark rnb feels. I loved it!

Oooh what a lovely full sound. Feels almost rnb to me, could be a banger I reckon, with the right vocalist. Really great production. Simple beats are sometimes the most effective (this is something I need to remind myself of!).

The production in this sounds wonderful! I love this kind of sound (rhodes against smooth drum programming). It sounds kind of restrained, but also really big at the same time.
For the change-up in the drums at 0:25. I'm not sure if there are some subtle reverse drum sounds added. Or is that just a variation in the shaker sounds? Whatever it is, I really dig it. It adds so much to the sound.
The bass at 2:00 hits really hard. I really like that you waited that long to introduce the 808 bass. I almost didn't notice there wasn't a low end part. I like the pause preceding the part.
The vocal samples and floaty synths are layered nicely across the whole thing. It has a cool ethereal quality to it.

This is some Sade level sexy. Simple, but simple done right.
@akokulit Feb 2022
This is my jam! Yes yes, more of these kinds.
@coolparadiso Feb 2022
This is an even fuller piece! great sound and all those touches are great, good sample use! nice one mate

I'm a sucker for electric piano, and the minimalist beats are the hardest ones to do well I think! Which you have here. Love that little flourish at about 1:15. Oh man and the break and coming back in at 2:00? Masterful. Would love to look behind the curtain but I know that would spoil the mystical quality of splittybooms ;). Great work.

That swirling panning has my head spinning, in a good way. Chill vibe with those luscious vocal samples. Oooooo here come the beats. Was wondering when was gonna enter the scene. Nice!
@atam94 Feb 2022
I absolutely love the motif with the keys, it's really good. The arcade samples sound great, too.
@kahlo2013 Feb 2022
This has such a wonderfully evocative chill sexy kind of feel good feel that I really like. The different layers work really well on top of that great beat.

This is some "earbuds in, walking through a rainy city, thinking about life" shit. I love it.
