I like this, the way the sound evolves over time and the way it never seems to quite repeat itself. This is just kinds of sounds which I like, what can I say.

I used the dubstep samplepacks for some of the drums and a phasen sample. I feel so dirty.
Don't feel bad, man, this is great. It's fun, funky, layered and cheekily weird. Maybe a bit too much repetition, but it's not enough to grate on me, especially because that percussion loop you got going is so wonderfully crisp and crunchy.

I didn't like this, sorry. I didn't feel anything happened, and 9 minutes is a long time.for nothing to happen.

I love the cheap aesthetic of your stuff, like I use FL Studio too, but I do everything in my power to make it sound like I don't. You don't really seem to care and that's really admirable. You also have willingness to really do anything it seems. This piece sounds like you were trying to find genius in the ground by just digging randomly. You never got gold, but you got close. This is a really fascinating piece, I applaud your audacity.

I couldn't vibe with much of this, despite the fact that I like the aesthetic and the textures of the sounds, when together they seem to clash, not just melodically but they don't even sound like the same realm really.
And it didn't really go anywhere either, just stayed around the same idea for most of its run time.

Just a new little track, if you care to listen. I'm beginning work on an album for Carpe Sonum Records, and this is a lil teaser!

Cheers!
Not bad, I like the sounds and the textures, but I feel the melodies could be a little stronger. The vocal sample is kinda cute but doesn't really do much for me, and don't add anything to the track outside of another texture to pay attention to in the mix.

And FortonServices and Perch, you guys' trailers and anthology thingies are really strong, especially Perch, but that sound is just more me than anything.
Forton, relinquish that endless creativity now while you have it, because when you get older, you may struggle to finish a song, just like I have trouble doing.

due to my recent inactivity on my Soundcloud, I thought I'd put out a few beats I made a while back, all just pretty simple hip hop inspired stuff;

noby - that little snippet was pretty stellar, loved how the beat seemingly came out of this creaks and crackles.

Great to see such young boc fans.

That may have sounded creepier than I intended.

Once again, didn't really captivate me. The slow tempo of the percussion didn't do anything for me, and I didn't feel satisfied with any of the melodies to really feel that it was worth my time, and I didn't feel there was enough progression or staying power to warrant the length of time.

I know, the amount of repetition is meant to be hypnotic, but I didn't feel hypnotised by this, it didn't lure me in, the odd melodies were too jarring for the rest of the music to really lure me in. It felt like I was being held at arms length by this track.
Some times there were brief moments of beauty, but they were fleeting and overall forgettable.

I took a bunch of pills and made this:




I may tweak it a bit here and there. I'd like some feedback and ideas on how to make this track better. The help is much appreciated. :)


Warning: This track is pretty dark. lol

747, u cocktease! You build up and build up but leave me hanging with blue balls. At the 2:05 mark there should have been at least an electric cinematic explosion, just 5 seconds of intricate bassy cacophony/loudness would have done it. That said this is probably my favourite thing I've heard from you so far. Keep takin them pills I guess :wink:
