ive listened to a few tracks, about 10 actually but ill comment here....love your stuff...more vocals needed tho, instrumentals are ok (as im finding out) but vocals maketheman so to speak, you have a great voice and i love your musicianship to, keep up the great work, a fan!
cheers for the review.
the music i make is primarily for scoring, so i am not too bothered by its lack of vocals. it is also for people to take and add onto. if someone thinks a piece needs vocals, by all means, take it and put some vocals on it lol! but i dont sing anymore.
again, thanks for the listen and review.
I always ended up Batman, but i desperately wanted to be Capt.America, very sad....love your tracks, all of em, wheres the singing tho???didnt hear much..you have a wicked sense of humour and a wonderful imagination...super!
not bad for a first song?! it either needs to drop away into something more ambient or needs to get real dramatic, accent bits but i think its good as it is, i often try three or four parts bridge, verse, melody and a fiddle bit, you seem to sit on two max..good work
i think its pretty good, i think it needs a break in there, maybe one of the chorus bits drop the melody and accent the ryhym, its a good song tho.....
nice. great effects and samples, like it a lot
unfortunately my op wasnt as easy. i had complications and my 20 minute surgery ran for three hours and i had to be awoken and then local anesthetic so i felt and saw whole thing, then was back in for another 5 days with an infection....my soundtrack would sound more like a horror movie theme!!!
good work!
Here's a bit of trivia for you - Peter Gabriel's "melty face" album with "Games without Frontiers" and "Biko" - the album art was done by Peter Chrisopherson (aka Sleazy) who was one of the original Throbbing Gristle members. He went on to be the backbone of the Post Industrial band Coil. Got to love those graphic artists that turn to sonics later on (wait - this is me as well!) Cheers!
tantalising sounds, flow,rythym,glimpses of melodies....peopl shy away from me when i would spend hours listening to instrumentals like this, daydream the day aayi have some friends from japan and nz in a band called many hands who attempt world music and rare sounds, but you got it down!a fav
I've come to understand that I prefer the instrumentation of World Music more than the genre. Especially when I hear the inherent psychedelic sounds in these instruments that electronica and technology try to recreate. I'm not sure if it's in the tones themselves, or in the arrangement, but so many are able to do very interesting things to us both in terms of emotional locations and psychological states. So, I guess you won't be surprised to learn that my childhood was spent in West Africa and Southeast Asia. IyamwhatIyam. Thanks for the fave, Mate! The ultimate compliment in my book. Cheers.
Another reason to replace my stylus - I've got everything Peter Gabriel did up through So, and lot's of 12 in. singles, too. Thanks for the review and encouragement, and invoking talent that kind of raises the bar a bit. Cheers!
Thanks very much my friend. Glad you liked the melody sections. I spent allot of days, trying different notes and variations and this one was the one I was happy with in the end.
awesome track, i listened to a few but am at work on orrible speakers, so ill listen on the home stuff soon, having said that this just flowed with great rythym and wonderful sounds and sounded good on these cheap speakers
looking forward to the rest
eric!
Eric - as a former member of the band The Hybrid Association, let me first say how much I like your name! And an association of one is the best way to avoid the inevitable schism stage that most groups seem to fall into. Smart move. I'm glad you chose this one to review, as I always wonder what Australians must think hearing an Aboriginal instrument driving the track. It's my best attempt at redeeming World Music (in a generic sense) while simultaneously bringing as much world instrumentation into the mix as possible. My favorite moment in this one still is when everything drops away except some reggae drums and the Egyptian fiddles enter the mix. The panning there still blows my mind - and I'm responsible! I love having those happy surprises.
Sure am enjoying hearing your work! Welcome to the site, and expect more listens from me! Cheers.
nice vocals and harmonies....90s no burden , lol, 80s (thats me) a heavy burden!!
good song writing skills and yes song is easier and more efficient way to say things!
big fan!
love the ambience, you sure your not Australian lol! do you have a soundcloud site? its a great site, to much techno but its good promo to as well as here!
wonderful
yeah sounds good, i havent actually recorded on cubase or abelton yet, i was playing round setting up abelton last night and cant wait to use tonight after work, all my other tracks ive done have been direct from my keyboards to computer using a avlab connection, so now ill rerecord all using my presonus and abelton..hopefully tighten the sound and get it all a bit tidier

nice sounds, well played, ive been using cubase which is a nightmare and i just downloaded abelton , so much easier and so creative, havent used reason but a friend swears by it...pricey tho
Cheers for the review.
Yeah i've also now moved on to ableton and i've got to say it's just so much more logic and simple, rewireing in reason just gave me headaches. You should check out my latest track i've done on ableton it's called fat salad and you really tell the diffrence beteen the daws.
