Swallow - Acrylic

Description : Breakcore, This really tests the limits of my audio production skills, i used 2 loops and recorded 2 samples, this also happens to be the track that i have spent the most time on ever, (even for its short length) It started with more of an idea on how i could make a snare drum circle by adding wet reverb signals and modifying volume levels, Then i realized that granulizing a looped snare drum sound sounded amazing, from there it was break after break until the song was Completed. Also at the end is just one snare drum hit looped with so many effects on it. all in fl studio no outside plugins except for the mastering plugin (E-maximiser by nomad studio) And all synths were done in 3xosc. Give it a listen and tell me what you think...

this more fits into the D&B lifestyle. It reminds me a lot of a Dieselboy feel. Gotta dig the grungy style of ##### D&B. Keep up the great work. This would get the crowd moving BIG TIME! God Bless.

A very experimental sound. A very difficult feat to match I'm sure. I give you max-props for being able to succeed in making it sound the way it does. Would make a good action movie soundtrack. Cool stuff.

Hi Acrylic,
Thought I'd stop by and see what you were up to.
I'd have to say, this was very interesting indeed. I don't think I could make anything like that myself. It wouldn't even entered into my mind, as I am an old guy and am into tradition music more.

But what you did here has a certain audience and I am sure it will be enjoyed by many.
You put a lot of stuff together and lots of cool effects, so it was an interesting tune for me!
Thanks for sharing,
Randy

wow I feel humbled. I could learn a lot from you. The old school snare rush was amazing. If i made that song it would burn a hole in my pocket; I would want everyone i know to hear that one. Sorta like a self portrait I'm asuming. Why don't you give a review on my track Drop It

Description : Hmm, it's a very stressful week to wait for some biopsy results and then I made a decision - let's do something.
Surfing through the acapellas on Looperman I found quite interesting vocal track by RayKoefoed ( it's a 16 years old file ). Well, loved the lyrics either :)
Here we are - an electronic dance type track with a punk style singing.
The first time I was doing something like this:) :) :)
Chill out guys.

And here it is a "nightingale" singing in an unknown language (Aalle Elvish) in a fairytale world... Many thanks to Lesperado and Elven voice for this wonderful acapella ! (Please see lyrics in English).
This track, which I had uploaded last year too, required some extensive retouching. I hope you like it !

Description : After many long sessions, this project is finally finished. It ended up becoming a cyberpunk industrial powerhouse. If you're a fan of older industrial, hopefully you will like how this turned out.

Description : Hi, I blend into the most peculiar places, I can catch food from long distant places. My eyes can look in different directions as I orchestrate different manifestations from these drums and sound, as I make my eyes go around, I'm the Chameleon you found, so it seems...

Description : This fragment, tells you a little story about me. Before iam going to upload something again. Its been a while since i was here. But somehow i never forgotten about this place. Because in the early days of looperman. This was my place to be as well. And somehow it will always remain a soft spot within me. And yeah it was probably time for me to return back to this place anyways. And see what happend and changed here all together throughout the times. when i left the place some while ago.

Description : Beneath moonlight, men become bolder, braver, foolisher, more themselves than they dare be beneath any watching sun.

I understand this pull well, pleasures I would never confess to seeking, temptations the day's judgment kept politely caged.

There is joy in it too, I'll admit, laughter sharper, drink sweeter, desire honest for once. But the night that liberates also loosens what should stay bound.

Every dawn, someone wakes wondering which version of themselves the dark set free.
