This one came together as the "remix competition" hosted by Metapop and Native Instruments, Native Sketches...
► Listen to Rok Sivante's Native Sketches #001 on DSound
As typically does, this quickly took on a life of its own, diverting from the ideas of what I wanted to make, into its own.
My enthusiasm peaked on Day 2 of 3 with this, while midway through and hearing the beautiful vocals of @maxwell95 overtop.
This is still a rough draft, and it may be a ways to go until the vocal parts get written and recorded - and at that point, most of the beat will likely get reconstructed, given this one done with only remix stems and parts from the Native Sketches packs, as per the competition rules.
To me, it still feels a bit empty without vocals. Though then again, it is a "sketch."
T'was also an interesting challenge in developing skill in the arena of song structuring, which I've had my difficulties with - and in minimizing elements to do more with less.
Without further ado, here's the world-debut on Steemit/dSound - prior to even posting for the competition...
ENJOY!

Tip: Periods.
You are the best my friend @rok-sivante
Nah. There is no “best.” This is not a competition.
(Well, maybe technically the Native Sketches thing is a competition. Though I probably wouldn’t be the “best” of entries. Of course - that’d be subjective, opinion differing from person to person.)
Yes in each period has several stages about it, so every effort to get it takes a lot of great effort, you are very amazing in this case I really like every post you
I meant use periods. To separate sentences.
Grammatical correctness.
It is very difficult to read a single long paragraph whose sentences are not separated clearly by periods.
“.”
this has a really nice flow and gets you in vibe mode from the gate. nice work
Thanx. 🙏
extraordinary posts keep it clean. thanks for sharing. best regards KSI Barsela🙏🙏🙏
How are you master @rok-sivante. Great post. Have a nice. Regard from indonesia
Wow. I surprising love it! The beats are so smooth , very unforgettable.
Are you snapping fingers? :D
Damn. You have talent, I didn't even know you produce such content. Love it.
no, all samples/sounds were taken from the Native Sketches packs.
thanks. :-)
Still, that was amazing. I am actually on repeat lol.
☺️
Happy Weekend Rok-Star! ;)
Adios.
a great music arrangement. but I heard some voices of noise, in a little time .. but I like, this music is perfect to accompany a relaxing time .. I have a question, what application do you use to make this music? i want to try it ..
Ableton Live and Maschine.
This is a sick beat and as a lover of hiphop,i found myself shaking my head to the beat.
I am sure any great rap person can easily freestyle on this beat. It fits well with hiphop.
☺️
very beautiful music, although I am not an expert but this can make a peaceful mind.
sketch of beautiful music, ideal to be enjoyed to unwind
i don't know too much about music. you can say i'm just a good listener to music. hearing this one, i'm dumbfounded very melodious. i enjoy it so much. i want to download it, but it can't.
Very cool sound!
From the viewpoint of my ears, the sound has a Far East Asian touch to it, and it very well reminds me of relaxation music in luxury hotels' lounge or bar.
I personally love listening to songs without vocals, especially relaxation music as this one here, for it allows me to lean back and simply enjoy the moment, for example during night drives without any specific destiny. There was a time where I only listened to vocal-less songs because voices brought more stress into it (even calm and slow voices), but now I am more balanced again in this respect.
So I am sure @maxwell95's vocals will add on greatly to the song, even though it is still a sketch now.
Thank you very much! ;)
interesting feedback... I never heard the "asian" element myself. kinda curious whether that interpretation is something in the main chords loop I used, or perhaps something else, influenced by my time in Asia (physically, maybe even philosophically as well)...
I notice, in steemit all creativity can be developed here from writing, video, photos to music. It means that Steemit belongs to a universal human being.
We dare to say that this is the media platform of the future. All of us are happy to take part of it all. Everyone can develop their work on this blockchain-based flatform.
It's amazing @rok-sivante. Please support for us steemian from Indonesia. We will invite more people to dive into the ocean of steam. If we can be successful together, why should be alone. We share goodness with others.
Good luck to all of us.
Very nice sound!
I use to see your works with the Egyptians writer, you duo really do well working together, this one seems out of the ordinary, how long do you take to produce?
i did this one in three days, probably somewhere around 12-15 hours, which was probably longer than necessary...
Of course it seems longer than necessary really, because I think the work and processes in perfecting this is really lengthy. Amazing job
🙏
I think your sketch can be a good for back ground music for traveling video...
I know this your silence, you preparing something great for us and i must say this is powerful @rok-sivante
Such a light, airy production - twinkling almost. I can feel the spaces between the elements, and place myself there. Personally, I could take it as it is, without vocals, but if you hear them there then I say go for it :)
The artists do their work with the heart to produce a good work of art and can touch the feelings of people who enjoy it. I love music, I listen and I enjoy what you share.
Like dsound @rok-sivante
Thanks, for sharing your sketch with us @rok-sivante. I enjoyed the peek behind the scenes and my wife, an incorrigible dancer, was bopping up and down to this like an exotic bird in a rain forest.
Best of luck with competition and developing this song, further, with vocals, etc...
PS - By the way, as a writer, this is also my experience of The Work:
That sounds like a rather interesting sight! :-)
Haha, yes, it was amusing -- if she weren't camera-shy, I'd have captured it for you :P
Dope sounds !! I know what you mean by feeling empty without vocals, but this is so busy it don't actually need a voice. Soothing and upbeat at the same time. Tight man.. Def would like to hear the finished version!
This is one of those type of beats i have at some point really wanted to work with . Downtempo,Chilled, something to easily express feelings on... You have done a fantastic job on it... It is a great honour to be working with you brother :) Will always be a great honour...
I think your instrument put me in a chilling out situation. May brilliant ideas come to you to complement the elements for your competition.
Dsound remix .. NICE music !

Ok.
Wow.
To be honest, when random people just share their music to check out - due to the average and norm, having filtered through countless songs in music searches as a DJ for 12 years - I generally have low expectations.
This impressed me. Err... inspired me.
For real - you have an - amazing voice and talent. 😇
I am interested in some collaborative play. Add me on Discord: sivante#1044

i must commend your creative and unique mind and voice it was dope and melodious
Hei Mr. @Rok-Sivante! That's a great mix, love the way it sounds. There's a certain feel of relaxation it gives. Not sure if "relaxation" is the right word, but it's the closest that comes to what I'm actually feeling while listening to it.
Anyway. Is there a way that I could privately talk to you about a certain subject? I'm curious in what you would have to say about it, but at the same time, I wouldn't post it as a comment. Something like Steemit Chat maybe, E-Mail or whatever you would feel confortable with.
Great Mix again, thanks for sharing!
What subject...?
The subject of living our Life as we desire to Live it. A world of Freedom of Expression and Love for our neighbors, where we help each other become the best version of Ourselves.
Are you Interested?
kinda livin’ that already... ;-)
Hit me up on Discord if you like, Sivante 1044.
Though I’ve been backing off more from social media / tech, so no promises...
Hey there @rok-sivante!
This is a really intimate and floaty track, I would use this song to describe LSD strangely enough. I was really happy to hear such a bright polyphonic melody. It does sound nice without vocals, and I appreciate the ambiance of it. For a first draft I think it's excellent. Not pulling your leg either.
My name is shello#1548 on Discord. Would I be able to send you the first draft of my current song? I also got back into composing recently, and I do my own vocals C:
With Love,
@shello
ha ha, cool. I wouldn't have pegged this one off as psychedelic - but I guess at some point when you open up into those realms, it must seem through all creative outlets. (and there might have been one day I was working on it while microdosing, lol).
contact request sent on Discord...
Indeed, I used to listen to music that sounded like this at times where I may or may not have been tripping. Art and expression are absolutely stunning the wider a person's awareness becomes. (Also, microdosing can be great with boosting creativity and changing perspectives).
Awesome! I'm gonna send it now, thank you so much 💖
a sketch can have several goals and record something that the artist sees or develops ideas to use later or used to describe the image of the idea or principle.
I am searchin tracks for my new STEEMIX (original steemit music dj set) and I would love to put this song in it. Of course I will give all the author credit.
Do you agree? Thanks!
This is the first one I did but looking for other genres too...
That could be possible.
What style mix? There might be a couple others on my dSound that could be more appropriate, depending on what style you’re going for - since this one is just a rough instrumental sketch.
(Also note - you might wanna customize these comments, as looking at your comment log, it’s bordering on the spammy side with all the copy-and-pastes)...
Thanks! I will take a look at your music and choose depending on the style. I will let you know! You are right about the comments but I don't know how to make them different for so many times!
Rocking it bro.
👊⭐️
Man this beat is lit great work on getting to trending
Wow so impressive and dsound ipfs almost plays perfe t wow so gladk cbecmed out dsound to upload soa phone call. Dsound is a gem of steem
🙏
Fresh beat, @rok-sivante. I am a sucker for a good snap on some syncopation. Very cool vocal sounds blended in there too.
Will be really great to hear the rest of the vocals with the lyrics in there.
Nice track! i like the voice scales up and down. It sounds a bit like a trumpet where you hold your hand in the soundhole. Thanks for sharing
Very emotional, very catchy!
