Neon Tokyo - My Study Of Cyberpunk - Allochtune

20th May 2017 21:12 - 9 years ago
Description : I imagined myself walking through the neon streets in Tokyo. I tried to combine that feeling that I got with what I knew of Cyberpunk. The normal Cyberpunk songs are dreamy and technological, but I ended up with something much more cheerful. It has a hopeful vibe for the future, combined with an understanding of consumerism. I hope you guys enjoy my interpretation of Cyberpunk.

OK now this one is verrry catchy.

You definitely know how to capture a vibe. Congrats on creating a sound for yourself :)

Thank you! This is in my opinion, my most professional sounding track up to this point. Might even herald a new age in my creative process! I am really happy about that. This probably isn't your kind of sound, so I appreciate you listening to it. I also think I am kind of finding my sound, which I haven't been able to do up to this point. I appreciate your feedback and the compliments!

What bright, bubbly creation!
I see what you did and I really like it. It's so catchy (and crafty) that before you know it, there's a head bob and shoulder action.
Made me think of Malibu Barbie getting trapped in a PAC Man video game, and I mean that in a good way, coming from an old soul who has dabbled in just about every musical genre there is. Wanna feel like a kid again? Well this is neon Tokyo at night, party time for adults only in Kabukichō.

You set a goal and succeeded. Gonna make this a fave, since its a great pick me up instrumental.

My creative process is very conceptual. I pick a concept and sometimes I get something that I am proud of :)
I absolutely love people describing what they imagine when they listen to something I made. I always listen to the song afterwards and see the image in my mind that people described. I am glad that you enjoyed my song and that you even favorited it! You understood what I tried to tell with the song.

This is very unorthodox. Upbeat and quick-paced, but with a vibe that keeps you hooked and wanting more. Excellent job.

I've even listened twice because I can see it is well put together and I'd like to get past my prejudices but nope.
This time I sat and closed my eyes and right from the off I sensed a game show host with slick hair a neon smile and dancing girls in sparkly shoes aimed at the average family and remembered why I got rid of my telly twenty years ago.
I didn't get all the way through.
Sorry mate but Simon says no.

You probably think that this is something that would disappoint me, but you have made me happier than you'd think. I am sorry that it reminds you of unhappy thoughts, but I have modelled it on a genre that is a reflection of consumer society. It wonders how to deal with multiculturalism and the downsides of technology. In this song, I have basically surrendered to that feeling and I went with the flow. It ended up a lot more cheerful than I was planning on. I had the concept of neon signs in mind and I went through with it.

But, unfortunately the song in its nature is the exact opposite of what you are. But still, I am glad that it triggered the feeling that I tried to transfer. Thank you for your story and your feedback :)

PS: Also, I am really glad that it sounded professional to you. Thanks!

I'm coming from two sides at this one ... one of which you probably won't like but here goes.
It is very well put together.
Professional even.
You obviously know how to produce music.
The downside for me is it is absolutely soulless.
A bit like the consumer society I feel so uncomfortable living with as I see it devour the planet and its inhabitants.
I was born in a big town did the city living but now live in the mountains.
I am happiest amongst trees and rivers.
To get me anywhere near a neon world you'd have to drag me.
So as you can see I'm biased in the extreme.
Last time I visited London I was convinced I was in an open asylum.
Couldn't wait to get back to my mountains.
So I see a soulless lifeless work of the consumer mentality from a very good producer.
50/50 from me.

Most of you know that I don't take myself seriously; I experiment, I just wing it, I don't care much about standards, and I don't care if the music industry takes me seriously, I'm just having fun. This is another one of those tracks where I turn everything upside down, an absurd story in a fast techno beat.

Only 1 sample used: Explosion-sfx by cbbk (2024).

Put on your dancing shoes and enjoy!

Description : I continue the hybrid procedure of creating music. This is a relatively recent song of mine that after the in DAW processing it was used as a prompt with certain guiding choices to AI machine. What was produced was di novo imported into the DAW to be blended with the original recording. It ended to a long music piece which I believe can be of interest to the listener. I hope you will enjoy this listen. I think Rocking Ambient describes well the genre.
