DSound Gems Vol6 - Steemit Music Review

in #musicreview6 years ago

IMG_1759.JPG

I'm going to keep on keeping on with mining for DSound gems for now. This is my 6th more or less weekly volume of this series. Very much enjoying hearing what is on offer. There is a lot of stuff being posted I like and it is nice to hear a full spectrum. DSound runs the gamut from people who are just starting their musical journey production wise through to those that have obviously honed their mixing and production skills over many years. Here I try to provide the best of what I have heard this week. Sorry if I missed any real gems I cannot pretend I have been able to keep up 100% with the accelerating rate of DSound useage.

@treaphort I believe is on production/beat making duties on this excellent hip hop track. Sublime bass slides over a fairly sparse groove dotted with flute samples. A nice vocal impression of a didgeridoo and some other quirky touches keep the ears interested throughout. The lyrical flows of Tr9nsfer and YashAkasha provide the perfect complement to the originality of the beats here. Superb.

@drkent almost fools us that this is a sparse and emotional acappella with the first quarter of this song. But then a single harpsichord note punctuates then develops and builds. Bass and Mandolins provide further development to finally provide full context to that vocal.

@meno crafts a melancholic but optimistic stripped down folk tune. An impressive live recording he keeps things simple and raw. The chord sequences under the "keep trying" vocal are nicely thought out. Definitely in the Nick Drake, Iron and Wine ballpark which is a good place to be playing.

@trevorpetrie The War of Ideas delivers a gently meandering rock tune in The Bitter End. It is fairly soft rock with some hints of Floyd and even Van Morrison influence maybe. The delivery on the vocals is great with some nice harmonies.
A song of imagined heartbreaks.

@melissakellie is Youtube's loss and Steemit's gain after a fairly random ousting by the former and recent migration to the latter. This track highlights her vocals over sparse undulating guitar lines. The second breakup song of this weeks selection of gems.

That's it for now, hope you heard something new that did something for you.
