"Wooden Hands"

Hello all. I have a quick tune here> V3 Its just an idea so far, and am looking for some ideas as im a bit stuck on this one. Im in a hotel with Crappy headphones so the mix is going to be sub par. I'd like to move on with this track but I cant figure out an interesting transition from the rise to the chorus, and any kind of melody. Anything i should try? I'm looking for any improvements in direction really. I see a tiny bit of potential for that track but Ive tried about a billion different things. Not my usual type of stuff here, or maybe it is. It's all just weird. Thanks :)

Whoa! Ok just played this track in the car and the bass is way too loud! Sorry guys;) we will be driving for a while so still open to ideas. Normal synthy stuff is not working for a lead.

i like this! love the build. and love that Guiro? sounding instrument. cool! gives it a playful - "sci-fi frog" like sound... lol.. nice! my only nit - ended too soon! ;) bass wasn't overbearing here.

Thanks man! It's no where near done.. Any synth guys could be helpful here aswell. The closest thing I liked was a dry sine wave sci fi vibrato lead. Still didn't quite fit. Perhaps I'll try to record guitar when I get home. I don't know if I can make it fit the creepy vibe going here though. I wish I had some lofi male vocals to mess around with. I think my library of weird sounds is just very limited.. Edit: The Frog sound I believe came from a dark place in my hard drive. No idea where it came from. Cool for sure though

Groovin on Sunday morning. Not much of a synth guy, so not much to offer in that subject, but damned I liked this. Indeed too short.

Thanks Sammy. Glad you enjoyed :) As for the length, I could finish the track today easily if I could figure out a direction. Perhaps the chorus already sounds chorusy enough? and maybe instead of a lead just some musical motifs? I just found an old music box vst and it's sounds pretty cool for that kind of stuff

OK, music box not working. Bad idea lol

Is there an extra beat near the start of the quiet section? About 38 seconds or am I just nuts? Comments on a postcard please.

Hm.. You might be crazy I dunno

This is cool, I really like the frog sound too. :)
