The Chase - Volca Experimentation - Allochtune

16th Jul 2017 13:56 - 9 years ago
Description : So, after a somewhat long absence, I am back. I have been experimenting with distortion, my KORG Volca Sample, granular synthesis (again) and music theory in general. I tried to combine a funky bass line, with classical influences and synth pop. I call it "Clunk Pop". Feel free to do the same. Because the song concists mostly of experimentation, some elements aren't perfect still, but I have worked on this thing for hours and I think it is time for something new. I appreciate you listening to my song and would love to hear your feedback. Thank you!

This is quite the fun track! I think you did great with the sampling here!

This puts me very much in mind of some of the Aphex Twin that I have enjoyed in the past, but perhaps a bit less mind boggling than that. It's meant as a compliment, as I can barely listen to Aphex any more (not enough drugs in my blood any more).

If I was to break down and get a Volca, it would have to be the sampler... it would fill a gap in my hardware, and it seems like a fun box to experiment with. I could see it being an excellent thing to go along with the monotribe. Obviously it can be used with great results, since that is exactly what you got here!

Lovely playful melodies, and a cool raw sounding mix. My kind of thing!

Definitely a fave! Thank you for the download!

Hey there,

Very interesting and well-rounded track. The simple 8-bit style really compliments the different synths and the lack of reverb and other effects give it this simplistic, clear sound that makes you appreciate it more. It really stands out and I like that! Ga zo door :D

O hi!
I thought I turned off my featured song, but I didn't. Woops! Thanks for listening though! This was a test song to see what I could do with minimal effects. Although you probably need effects to make some things sound better! Anyway, thanks for the nice words! I am glad you liked my minimalistic approach :) En bedankt!

My apologies for not responding sooner! Thanks for listening, I appreciate you having some kind of vision with my song. For me as a 'composer' that is most important. If people can paint me a picture of what they think or feel with my music, than in my opinion I have succeeded! Again, thank you for taking the time to write a comment and thinking of retro games :)

Sounds something that would be in a classic video game! The bassline and the melodic structure of the track are really well made and funky. Great job on this one!

Cheers

Thank you for your time! My apologies that I haven't really had the time to respond. I usually try to answer ASAP. Now, looking back on the song I think it is a little bland at some points. I tried to use as little effects as I could, that is what added the classic video game vibe. But hey, the more you know :)
Also I used a lot of square waves to make the synths, so that also contributes to the video game vibe!
Thank you for listening and giving feedback, I really appreciate it! Also, thanks for the compliments!

Nice one here. The instruments chosen remind me of an attari game and hat brings back memories. The track is very catchy and makes me want to dance.

Overall very nice track keep up the solid work mate!

That wasn't my intention, but man, now that I am listening to some Atari tracks I can't help but notice the similarities. I can imagine that some of my experimentation with new sounds might also share some similarities in how the 4bit/8bit sounds were created in an Atari game system. But that is just guesswork. Thank you for your compliments, I have spent quite some time on this track, so I am happy you liked it!

Description : "All my songs are inspired by the work of the bands King and Jester and Kukryniksy. I wrote the lyrics for this track, and the music was created by artificial intelligence. The lyrics are original; I wrote them myself. I don't have the ability to create music for this track, but I hope you'll at least like the lyrics." I'm presenting these tracks to you in the form of a demo - this is what they might sound like; I want you to evaluate my lyrics.

Description : Mindway and The Monzder Squadd go together like peanut butter and jelly man. This is our 4th or 5th collab, I think, but for this one, Pnnywze wanted to blend his and Mindway's production styles and see what happens. This is what happens.

NOTE - Shared this one yesterday before I realized that Rob Fame's verse at the end was messed up. So I'm sharing it with Rob's part cut out until my brother fixes it tomorrow.
