I just finished one... is that allowed?

Can somebody PLEASE comment on it. Its really fucking weird, but for some reason...I keep listening it on repeat. Its so unlike anything I've ever done before. Its an IDM track...but with an ambient structure.

I think it's tight. And, it's not SO different you can't tell it's you. I think the synths used and the beat structures all scream Paracat! The atmospheres kind of remind me of Rain Games, in a good way. I like this.

Plus, that bass that keeps sort of revving in the background, like an engine, really gives the song some oomph. If the beats weren't so experimental this could definitely be converted into a pounding, headsplitting hip hop or dubstep track.

I'm really excited to show you guys what i've been doing, except myspace keeps giving horrible quality - does anyone know of anywhere that streams really good quality?

Shadowshocker · Post by **Shadowshocker** » Wed Mar 25, 2009 8:54 pm

You can try last.fm for a little better quality.

I'm thinking about posting an album up onto last.fm, but I'm not quite sure it's ready...

You could put it up somewhere else so we can take a peak perhaps? =P

Pretty cool, I really liked it. It's good to hear someone's still experimenting with guitar and such rather than just a keyboard or software. My only critique is it's a little long for not changing much, but that might just be my short attention span

Soundcloud is really interesting.

Love how your beats are progressing man, still unsure about the really extreme tones in that track though - seems to pierce my ears a little bit.

Hey hey, just thought I'd let you all know i finished another track in case you might wanna have a peak. Called 'Polaris', you can listen here www.myspace.com/88marquis first track.

Oh and someone with really really good bass let me know how it sounds!

A song I've had in progress for a few months now, I've been working on it very slowly on and off, doing a bit of work on it every so often. The intro will probably be getting changed, and the ending is planned to continue building up more chaotically to explode into the track that'll follow it on the album (this being an essel album, the next song being probably of a completely different style than this song).

The name is "Apollo":

I've gotten lots of positive feedback on it from friends I've played it for so far, so hopefully I'll be able to work out the remaining parts of it and turn it into something great to release!

If there's enough interest in it here, I might post up some of the other songs I've been working on.

And before anybody brings it up, I'm sorry the 16in24 thing fell apart. There were a couple of reasons, but screw it; I'll just take the blame for it

don't worry about it. I got a sweet track out of it, that i wound up submitting to OoT3 instead. i do think it was a cool idea, though, and should be repeated sometime when it works out better.

I've just finished the 17 minute (mostly) ambient thing I've been working on:

I've gotten back into using Max/MSP lately, I can just play with it for hours.

saurus · Post by **saurus** » Fri Apr 24, 2009 2:38 pm

right now, i am writing tunes on acoustic guitar, with lyrics as well. gonna get them onto the comp then screw around with them and add lots of cool little tweaks. kinda slow tune so aiming to get the same scale as "alternate route to vulcan street" by the mighty super furry animals
