But I thinks this one is quite defferend.

It's not so atmospheric as some of the other space songs, but more centered about actual tones, after the intro that is.

This piece is long from finished, and I post it here becourse I'm a little in doubt about the destination.

I feel like things or emotions if you will, are happening a little too fast.

The outro is just were I came to, and lacks pads and so on.

What I'm asking is :

a: Is the introduction of an actual rythm (like the triangles), way out of context?

b: Are The final machine drum like things too dominant if considered behind layers of pads?

Happy traveling, fellas, and thx in advance.

By the way, the intro (wo wo wo) is my 16" floor tom looped through interpole (turning the frequency slow up) and then ends more and more in a reverb splash. My idea of a large spaceship engine starting up on a cold winter morning

.

And again, don't turn up your speakers too loud unless you have big subs or speakers. There are some very low freqencies in there.

Another beautiful spacey track.

How to answer your 2 questions?
a) I don't think that the introduction of an actual rhythm is out of context. However when the percussion (triangles) does come in, why not introduce them slowly/more intermitantly? Develop them from a sort of reverbed/echoed percussive "splash" into a rhythm instead of simply fading them in?
b) I don't find the final machine drum like thingies too dominant, but that is surely down to my imagination.

Strange questions really and I think that the overall answer must lie with you - what is your story line? What parts are the rhythms playing - are they the sound of a spacedrive? Are they radio signals? Or did they simply appear in a developing track?
If you have a theme and story to accompany the title, then you know if they fit or not.
There used to be a famous artist named Bob Ross. One of his tips about paintings was "It's your world, you can put what you want into it".

Again, a superb track.

Your post makes perfectly sense to me. ´

This travel has allready gone through many changes, and I'll post the results soon.
