more awesome music

haha, so much for not having time to make music nowadays.

Downloading some now, will edit with impressions.
 
I like it for what it is, but I like your more ambient stuff better.
 
Ahh, the swing is fantastic :D

This track had me bouncing, awesome work. However, it may just be my speakers, but I felt the bass was a little too powerful. Atleast the parts where it's constant.
 
yeah, i felt like the bass was way too weak at the end so i put this bass boost utility on it, but i think it went just a bit too much. but bass is all the rage nowadays anyway :p :p
 
I love that reactor facility piece. On my Music Tech computer in school I have looooadds of Cubase files kicking around of stuff I've just titled ''generator 2'' and ''station [number of how many songs I have titled 'station here]'' and the like because I've recently found a whole range of kickass industrial/machine/factory/desolate/grinding synths. It's great making stuff like that. I've been making alot of recently because when it comes to synths and pianos and stuff Cubase is really good, so, with stuff like Amber and SAWI/II and lots of Boards of Canada being listened to, I've succesfully filled half of my school computer with a ton of files that I really cannot navigate my way around to. Too much.

Pretty loud and crazy. The synts were great but the drums were meh. The kick had way too much bass and cut out everything else.

new little tune

This was nice. Lots of arp-ing! Sounded like an EMX.
 
I like lunar collusion. It's exactly like the type of music I've been trying to make (failing miserably).
 
Grendosa.net is the only site I've been able to get your music off of. I only had time tonight to listen to your "new little tune" and I very much like it :D

It seems to be lacking a certain something, I can't quite put my finger on it. Nonetheless, I enjoy it, and it's currently keeping me from getting some damn rest before my exam that I have in 8 hours.
 
Thanks for the comments guys, I really really appreciate it!

another new little tune. :) i love the reFX junox2 soft synth! so fat and nice, and incredibly simple which makes it easy to just chuck in the track here and there. and it's free!

Just out of curiosity, do you work on these songs on and off, or do you finish them in a single day? How do you find the inspiration to finish a song you got stuck on, or how do you even begin making one?

haha i remember when i used to ask other musicians the same question.

let's just say, i don't finish my songs, i abandon them. they're usually nowhere near where i want them to be when i finish them but I feel like my energy is best spent elsewhere, like on a new track.

i have lots and lots of unfinished tracks that i like to go back to and polish up a little each day until they're finished. it's great to just leave the track for a day then get back to it, you'll have a much better objective look at it.

i used to finish most of my tracks in one sitting, like 3-4 hours but now I usually get the basics done, leave it and get back on it the next day and wrap it up. it's a much better of working imho. i would like to spend even more time on most of my tracks but i'm lazy as ****.

i like to look at my tracks as little brainfarts of melodies and feelings that i have when i make them. :D

what i find interesting about getting back on tracks and doing a little work is that they always take directions you never thought they would. the "bomb squad track" was supposed to be completely different with the original melody being part of the bridge or some odd thing at the end, but i chucked the original stuff out because i didn't like it.

finding the inspiration to finish a song i'm stuck on? never gonna happen. if i'm stuck on it i'll probably leave it till forever. just now i started polishing up some tracks i got stuck on months ago. it's a pretty interesting way of working.

how i start making one? don't ask.. i just chuck a few soft synths in, play around with the keyboard and suddenly i have a basic melody thing, usually i loop that for forever or add fun little changes that i think fit. i look up a good drum loop i have somewhere in the anus of my computer, or make a drumloop myself. i usually spend alot of time shaping the sounds with filters and little effects.. i like to jam alot and don't want to get stuck in the process of endlessly working on stuff with the mouse. most of the melodies just come spontaneously.

right now alot of my melodies come up when i jam around on my guitar. my tracks would have a lot more guitar in them now if it didn't take ages to set up the mic and record it..
 
^^ It's cool! i create electronic music too, but more harsh and heavy (like industrial ear rape) and love it!

your method of production sounds like me too!
if you force yourself to finish a track for the sake of it, it sounds like it has no energy or feeling. It's best to leave it unfinished if thats how it's supposed to be!
 
Crazy, you still dabble in MAX/MSP? I finally downloaded it and thought about giving it a whirl, but I fear I'm going to become frustrated with it just as I did with Reaktor (and Reaktor is supposedly the easier one to learn). I've just played around with some of the example patches, which are pretty ****ing nifty. Just running any of my tracks through the "granularized" patch is wonderfully twisted. Something I wish I could do in Reason. Can also get some good time-stretches on drums which Dr. Rex doesn't really handle. The most you could do to generate such an effect is with the samplers and drag out notes with increasing Start velocities, and even that only works to limited extent and would be hell to do with drum kits.

god no, it's way too time consuming.. i could barely get midi to work in it and there's just too much. i mean sure it's versatile but it totally kills creativity for me.
