Description : WARNING: watch out for your sub-woofers! The song starts out -strong-.
I have been inspired by the speech that was supposed to be spoken by Nixon, if the Apollo 11 moonlanding had failed (see lyrics section). I have tried to capture the start of the spacejourney, space itself and the distress of a mission failure. In this song I have some electro influences, again some trap and maybe even some big room (yeah yeah, I know, shame on me). I thought that the rise into nothingness would fit the space theme quite well! People also said it reminded them of cyberpunk. Enjoy the journey ;)

If you have time take a listen and give Allochtune some feedback.
Hey my pleasure to add my thoughts for you. And remember they are only my opinions so take that for what it is worth. That being said, upon further listening what I think I would do differently is that you have this awesome build up and I was anticipating an explosion of sound or something but you brought it down with no percussion, just some intriguing synth melodies. That became sort of a meh moment for me listening. It´s for me in the arranging of the build-up and denouement of the track, if that makes sense to you.

The reasoning behind that was to show the emptiness of space, but you are not the first that has suggested this. The idea comes better to fruitition in the beginning. My friend that I showed this track to, before uploading, had the same critique.
So I actually agree with you, I could have made some kind of explosion of sound to signal a mission failure or something. Rises, percussion and bass have been difficult for me. But I have fixed 2 of the 3 in this track ;)
I do think that it can be quite personal whether or not someone likes that denouement of the track, but I thoroughly agree with you that if I tried to make a track for a wide audience, the rise should be solved in this manner. Thanks for your time! I will keep your advice in mind the next time I will make a track!

I tend to spend the first minute or two, atleast, in reading previous comments and replies... while doing so, I began to wonder about the "casio tune" reference. Possibly there is something which I am missing, but I do not hear a Casio board in this,
Back to the topic at hand though... I do entirely enjoy the song, and it's composition! It is really not something I usually would put in the electro bin, which is a good thing. This is far deeper and more creative than the usual copycat pop electro, which even I have have fallen prey to. I would instantly think "electronic," which is also good, since I love all things electronic. It's one of the few ways which I fail in regards to environmentalism, unless you count the salvage and repurpose aspect, which is probably not even legal... ha ha.
I'm listening again, because there is simply something about your tunes which get to me. This one sounds pretty original to me, and the sounds are not ones which I hear all of the time. The slow modulations give this track a real edge. Seems like a lot of people ignore that sort of thing when working in a digital workstation environment.
I've been noticing about lots of songs lately, the ones which seem longer than they actually are. I think I used to think of this as a bad thing, however I'm starting to think that it is a virtue. This song has that effect at this moment, and in a purely good way.
To address the 'casio tune': I thought, with a little imagination, that 0:30 and onward could kind of sound like a keyboard with distortion! I didn't use it though, but I like people imagining stuff with my music :) To create the sound I used Harmor, with distortion. But you are completely right, I haven't used a Casio keyboard! I might have left the impression that I did use it though.
Let me just start with: man, you know your stuff. I have been listening to a few of your songs on this site and I think that your skill level is way higher than mine. So the fact that you like my music and the details that I try to put in them, is amazing. I have been researching genres and microgenres, but the things that I make never quite fit a box. Which is a good thing. So I agree with the fact that it isn't the usual electro! And in music, you can indulge, right ;). You don't need to be environmental all the time hahahaha.
And I am glad my story gets to you :). Thanks for all the compliments and for the amazing fave!

I very much liked the casio tune...the track has got much progressivity and that's cool...electro but felt it is more than that...probably great music...:-)
Thanks for the comment and the handshake! You are completely right about the casio tune, I didn't even realize! I am really glad that you liked the progression of the track. I have tried to convey a story and there is a small easter egg at the end of the song that people still have to discover ;)
Thanks for liking the music, I love this site for the amount of feedback it gives! Cheers!
So the first 1:35 was absolutely mesmerizing. completely loved it. then it kind of dragged along a bit until the last 1:45 then again amazing electro sounds. So this is a tune I want you to play with because there are moments of genius running throughout.
great work

To be honest, this is the first time I have made an electro track, even though I use the electro music theory of SeamlessR in a lot of my songs! Until I joined this site I have been experimenting with EDM and micro genres. Thanks a lot for the feedback, but I do have a question. Did it drag along because of the length? Because I repeated the melody? Or was it because of the drop in volume and timbre around 2:20?
If you have the time, I would love to hear what made it drag along according to you, for future tracks :)
Also, thank you for calling my track mesmerizing and saying that it has moments of genius throughout! It's awesome that you think that.
Wow, this is pretty well done! All of the sounds are used well to fit the theme. I think you did a great job of capturing the idea and fleshing it out into music.
Thanks a lot for your time! I am glad you thought it fit the theme, that was my main concern. If the music that is a product of that also captures the idea, then my job here is done ;)
Also, really nice of you to also leave a comment on my music!

Description : Basically, this track was made back in the day when I was a HUGE Electro House (Especially, Big Room) fan. I was inspired by the track LRAD by Knife Party but I ended up with this piece of poopie. I'm not even trying to produce EDM anymore but I just wanted to share this since I spent a lot of time on this. Positive/Negative comments are all welcome! Thanks!

Description : A new Electro house track under my new alias "Shawdy Scotty" this is gonna be on my demo, and i think the master sounds great. But thats subjective. What do you think?
Description : Well i choose "Electro" as "genre" but it's definitly a SALSA/RUMBA track. If some can put some words, you're welcome, contact me let's do something nice...
Description : THIS was one of my first tracks i made for the looper fam. I was not sure whatkind of genre it realy is, so i named it electro.
I used only samples i found on looperman. I did a vocal line by myself and mixed all in a way i liked it. Hope that you also like what i had done.
Just tell me what you think.
Loops i used in this song:
From Anubis.
