Hi Stephane,
It’s been awhile. This is coming from Jswetch, not swetch, because I got shut out of forums for some unkown reason, and had to create new account with a different email to get back in. That will explain the length of time between you posting this song, and me giving it a listen.
I can’t hear the first version any longer, but, to be honest, I didn’t really pay attention to the kick drum issue. I’m mainly struck by the fact that you went this far with a vocal on one of your tracks. I recall you toying with that idea, and then “dipping a toe in” with wordless vocals on another track.
Of course, I liked what you did with the synths and the overall direction your music moves. It’s nicely recorded. The vocals here were a nice experiment, but I’d like to suggest once more that either wordless vocals, or something in your native French might actually be an easier and more satisfying path to follow. It might also suit your own “musical voice” that much better (sangue et os; chair fraiche…???).
I speak a little French, and I can’t even begin to imagine how difficult it would be for me to put across a vocal performance of any kind in your lovely language. That’s really the only suggestion I could give you relating to this song beyond saying once again, that I look forward to hearing more from you.
All the best,
John
