Wow.
I have absolutely no idea why.. but this instantly gave me the same vibe of Prefuse73's Reads The Book EP. Which is the 1.618th greatest album ever produced.
SO ...
Holy crap.

...
I am going to download this and study it's habits.
Faved.

And holy crap, I f*cking love Prefuse 73, so that's definitely the best compliment I could ever hope to receive. So thanks for that. I actually hadn't yet heard The Book EP when I made this, but I've been catching up with his entire discography recently and absolutely loving it. One Word Extinguisher and Reads the Books are both brilliant.

Big thumbs up for experimentation and being a bit different. I was'nt sure about the track to start off but as the different elements came in it all worked in a strange way and turned into a nice little groove.

Cheers for the listen and the review. I've been trying to mix the slightly expiermental sounds with ones that are more familiar, and sometimes they work together and sometimes they don't.

Nice. Thats some crazy work with the guitar piece, i like it. Broken drums sounding great when you start gating the sample.

Im wondering if a bassline might make it smoother on the gate, just simple one strums, and then maybe take it up to a chug, faster as it comes back in.

But then that might not be the way you are thinking.

great tune anyway dudew.

Thanks man. I think I know what you mean about adding a bassline. What I've done is gate the bassline as well to go along with the gated guitar sample. I'm gonna look into what you've suggested because I see where you're coming from. Thanks for the suggestion and the review.

Description : A demo of one of my current projects. The chorus vocal sounds like "Aaaaraashe" to me. The song is in C# minor with a nod to C# pythagorean on the chorus. The beat on the verse was inspired by the Peter Gabriel song Intruder.

Description : This is one of my earliest productions that I did at the start of my recording career. I did not have a keyboard at the time I made this song, so I improvised and used my sister's iPad and a 5 dollar GarageBand application instead, and plugged the headset jack into into my PT6 rig and did my best to turn each individual track (which were mono and there were about 25 tracks or so) into a stereo image. Then recorded vocals over it. My computer was so old and slow that I had to mix my music and then BOUNCE it to a new session - four times. My computer (which had 512 MB RAM and an 80 GB hard drive) couldn't handle more than 8 tracks at a time or it'd stop working because the processor couldn't handle it. Took me FOREVER to do. But I got it done. Had a lot of fun doing it too, even if it isn't my "best" work. I'm still happy with it, considering I didn't have many tools to choose from at the time.

Description : Long time lurker first time poster, pretty new to production n stuff, this is my first track in Ableton Live.
was going for a darkwave/synthwave sound, reminiscent of Justice, Carpenter Brut, Perturbator, ect.
Looking for some feed back, constructive criticisms or even just your thoughts if you liked it or not. This is just a rough cut on this current WIP, just the bones of it if you will.. If you have some cool title suggestions, would love to hear those too.
Thanks for listening.

Description : Far out mid-tempo fat beat deep chillout grooves with Eastern/Arabic and slightly menacing vibes, huge delayed synth bass and a great palette of psychedelic layered and intricate sounds (mostly synths) and a stirring, epic feel. Even has guitar solo section reminiscent of some 80s power rock which is then followed by a brief synth harp solo. I began making it straight after staying round the flat of the flute player from the legendary Ozric Tentacles - easily the greatest ever space rock band. I made this in about 2001 and still think it might be my best track (and it's nice and short, for a change). My production skills were much weaker in those days (no EQ, compression or mastering used here) but, somehow, this one turned out pretty much just right. Feel free to disagree. Now sit back and get ready to trip extremely far out. If you manage to return, let me know how that trip was...
