Single | OST | India | Bengali new track

Post by SagnikBhatt »

Hey all. I am from Kolkata, India. I am newbie in songwriting and producing. I use ubuntustudio 20.10 .
Here is the latest bengali song that I made for a short film my friend is making "The Penumbra".
The song is called "অন্ধকার" pronounced as ondhokaar meaning darkness.
You can listen it here

Hope you like it. Comment here or on the video on how you find it. I would love some unbiased comments as it would help a beginner like me a lot. :) :) :) <3

Hi Sagnik, and first of all welcome!

I did like the track, and the video is nice too. I haven't watched the movie you mention, so I don't know how it fits there, but as a standalone piece of music it's definitely enjoyable: I liked vocals in particular. Did you play all parts using real instruments, or are there synthetizers/plugins somewhere? I'm particularly curious about the percussions that accompany the song, which feel like some sort of tambourine, but I'm sure have a different name.

Hi @SagnikBhatt! I really like this one. My favorite parts of the video are the scenes in the bedroom studio with the vocalist and guitarist. I hope you will be happy to know that I restarted it immediately after it finished because I wanted to listen again.

I'm curious what hardware and software you're using. Whatever it is, you put together a really nice sound.

I enjoyed this a lot. Quite unique. However, I do get very concerned about youtube videos these days. I regard google as an implacable enemy these days.

I like this track, you achieved a lot with just a few instruments. I think it fits the film quite well.

That is a great, quite hypnotic song, with really good vocals!

I liked the simple arrangement (in the best meaning of the word), the guitar solo was a bit unexpected (for me), I liked the more dry sound in the first section of it.

Very clean production too!

Great work!

Hey hey, thanks for sharing this. Such a refreshingly interesting track. With the background I have it keeps meandering between film music, progrock and ambient. I like the darkness in the music. Just when I think it gets too oppressive, it turns into a comfortable darkness.
There are two points with the production about which I am uncertain. You can definitely get away with both in this open arrangement. Personally, I find that the reverb on the vocals could use a little EQ'ing to lower mid frequencies, perhaps even lowcut a little more. The other point is, when the phaser comes in, shortly before three minutes, the lower end of the phased sound brings some mud. Again EQ or a little filtering might help. As I say: in this case both points are not really critical, since you have left so much space.
I love the guitar sound and the harmonies in the song in general. The autotuned vocals are fascinating. Not what _I_ would expect in this setting. They surprised me and always brought my attention back to them. Quirky, but nice! <3
Best wishes, Jeanette
