Description : Those of you who have been here for more than 5 years knows exactly what it means when I say this is Old-school Valvedriver. For those of you newer than that, it means that this is dark, aggressive, and relentless in it's consistent driving force. This is an all new, all synth track. For the synths, I created everything in Serum and Sylenth1. Enjoy. Take care. V.

Description : Another instrumental heavy metal track that leans more toward progressive with an ethereal twist. Enjoy. Take care. V.

Description : Although it's in the Heavy Metal genre, it's more Psychedelic-Prog-metal than anything. It has a slow build before it really takes off. Much like the creature in it's title. Which is exactly what this is about. The journey of the locust from dirt, to life, back to dirt. If you're looking for a nice beat you can dance to, keep scrolling. But if you want to zone out and take a little trip, hit "play". With that being said, enjoy. Take care. V.

Description : As we usher in the dystopian rule of AI, civilization devolves into the most primal of human instincts. Sex and Violence. This is a cinematic-electro-industrial-metal tune that paints a picture of our social-economical decline into depravity. Enjoy. Or don't. It's your choice. One of the few choices we still have the freedom to make. Take care. V.

Description : I don't know. It is what it is. Some might like it, some might not. I don't think there's going to be any middle ground. Let me know where you land. Headphones suggested. Now, sit back, get comfy and hit play. See you on the other side...if you even listen all the way to the end.

Description : As far as genres go, I'd say it's more Electronic Rock. Either way, it's Another old one. This one was when I first started experimenting with VST Guitars back in 2014. Featuring the ramblings of a schizophrenic patient.

Description : Another of the re-uploads. Originally uploaded in 2014. This is all done with Sylenth1, Massive, Kontakt's Vintage Organs and EZ Drummer. This is back when I was experimenting with all synth industrial metal type tracks. From a creative standpoint, I think it worked. Mixing could have used some work, but hey, I didn't know what I was doing then. Enjoy.

Description : Continuing in the re-upload project, this was originally my first upload here on Looperman in 2012. I wish I hadn't lost the vocal files or I'd go back and remix the percussion to be louder in the mix. If I had more room here, I'd tell the backstory to this. It's kind of neat. Anyhow, enjoy.
14th Jun 2022 15:36 - 2 years ago
Description : I'm re-uploading some old tracks. This one is an odd one I did in 2014. All done in FL Studios with Sylenth1 and probably massive. Enjoy. Or not. I'm not the boss of you.
3rd Sep 2021 22:31 - 3 years ago
Description : Here's a kind of industrial type thing. Kind of. It's a little more 4 0n the floor compared to most of my stuff. Enjoy.
24th Mar 2021 18:27 - 3 years ago
Description : A dark D&B track made with Massive, Serum, Sylenth1. All percussion, bass and synth loops created by me, from scratch. Let me know what you think. Hopefully it doesn't sound like crap on your system.

Description : A friend of mine just disappeared one day. But that was no surprise. He belonged to no one, and no one tried to keep him. If he's *gone*, I imagine he went down in a battle against the gods.

Here's to you, mister. Wherever you are.

Oh, yeah...the song. It's all Sylenth1, Piano One, and EzDrummer. That's it. Nothing else.
21st Aug 2020 00:23 - 4 years ago
Description : A dark Drum and Bass tune.
6th Aug 2020 19:23 - 4 years ago
Description : When someone lives in your walls, watching, waiting. Not one of my darker tunes, but it's a little menacing at the very least. All synths, and basslines created by me in Serum, sylenth1 and massive...like always. I suggest speakers, or headphones that can pick up deep sub bass.

(Edit: I adjusted some of the melody synth levels. They were buried too deep in the mix. I also brought the percussion down a touch. Hopefully this is better)

Description : This is my city. The city of Portland, Or. Right now. The audio clips were taken from today's (July 23) news coverage of the last 56 days of protests, and the unmarked federal officers "detaining" people and disappearing with them. Some of which, still to be heard from. This is my city. Right now.

This is a true-to-form Valvedriver track. Heavy, Raw, and driving. All synths were made with Serum. By me. Just for this track.
Take care.

Description : For those of you who remember Valvedriver's earlier electronic work, then you should dig this one. It's all in my old pre-metal style. All electro, all synths, all VSTs. I used Sylenth1, Massive, and Serum for all synth leads, basslines and accents. All sounds created from scratch just for this track. (Except for the Toy Piano). I suggest headphones for this. Enjoy, and take care. V.

Description : Living in the Pacific Northwest, USA, I am surrounded by countless acres of forests and mountains. Having experienced them, I know that with as beautiful and serene as they can be, so too, they can be cold, deadly and unforgiving. That's what this song is about. The wide spectrum of emotions one can feel when alone in the forest. Whether you want to be or not. Let me know what you think. --- Take care. V.

Description : I had some fun with a wah-pedal effect in this one. It's nothing too remarkable, but a fun little Rock piece none the less. Enjoy. V.
22nd Feb 2017 06:06 - 7 years ago
Description : I used Serum and Sylenth1 to create all the synths and basslines. It's not dubstep, and it's not Drum and Bass, but it's elements are heavily drawn from both to create an experimental industrial track in it's own class. It's heavy, aggressive, and driving. Either you will like it, or you won't. I don't think there will be an in-between. Take care. V.

Description : A typical Valvedriver synth track.
Enjoy. Take care. V.

Description : This track was like the inhale after an exhale of aggressive industrial-electro-sludge tracks that I had put out that summer and fall. This was the more reserved, and introspective winter track. It's nothing spectacular, but I still really enjoy it. I hope you do too. Take care. V.

Description : If you're looking for Skrillex and his cronies, you've come to the wrong place. It's not that kind of dubstep. This track opens with a nod to my fellow Vault Dwellers and Wanderers of the Wastes, and transitions into a deep, dark celebration of the Horror movie genre. Some of you will get it. Some of you won't. Either way, I hope you all enjoy it. Thanks for listening. Take care. V.

Description : About five years ago I made a dubstep track called Labyrinth Of The Absurd. This is part 2. Check out part 1 if you haven't yet. This is a Dark D-n-B. Or whatever.
I used Serum, Massive, Sylenth1. I used no presets, and no prefabricated loops. This is all original content from scratch. The only exception being the vocal samples.

Description : Part one of three.
15th Apr 2017 07:12 - 7 years ago
Description : Part two of three. EDIT - 04/05/2018: I went back and adjusted a few things. I cut some of the hi-mids in the guitars. Boosted the overall low end bass frequencies, and brought the drums forward a little.
