(chill electronic) broken all along

[ROTMetro]

Vocals not me. This was one of the first tracks I did when moving from hardware to Ableton a few years back. After blowing my life up instead of ending a bad marriage, losing family, job, friends (and most of my hardware, got to keep the DX7 and S01 my dad bought me as a kid). Then mom dying a horrible slow death from cancer. Just me locked up in my moms house, surrounded by her stuff. Recently came across it and cleaned it up a bit. Tried to fix the bouncing notes part (I didn't understand latency in Ableton yet and had a heck of a time playing those in with decently close timing to what I was trying for). And because I had to freeze everything on my slow old computer I froze in a horrible brushed snare? plus some bad beat choices and gave up on it. Now I'm better with Ableton and was able to remove them. The mix is bad but I poured a lot of pain into it so I'm committed to it's rawness (my working title was 'today everything makes me cry').

I don't take this as raw. Many people are over-shining their mixes which takes any idea (and they usually don't have enough) and dissipates it. Ragged edges are where power comes from.

Are you open-able to considering another mix?
I could be up for offering so long as you have multitracks and even better MIDI or all of it in a Reason project.

Not my style of music but I will say you are telling a good story here.
