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!
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!
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!
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 : Feel free to check out the video on YT as well (Alan McLaren Project - Upside Down) of this 6min journey from electronic to rock with some psychedelic moments...
This is my latest, but also one of my earliest tracks.... any feedback is more than welcome, thanks :)
Description : 'The main point of this song is really about the frustrations of living in the overload of today's World of Tech. The consequences are impaired communication and that if you advance too far you end up diminishing what you had to start with, so you are way worse off.' Enjoy a 60s Rhythm with a modern deep Bass, a Sitar, a Piano from EvilPianist, a lost flute from UniverseHuston and some Oscillators :-)

Description : A demo of one of my current projects. The chorus vocal sounds like "Aaaaraashe" to me. The song is in C# minor with a nod to C# pythagorean on the chorus. The beat on the verse was inspired by the Peter Gabriel song Intruder.
Description : This is one of my earliest productions that I did at the start of my recording career. I did not have a keyboard at the time I made this song, so I improvised and used my sister's iPad and a 5 dollar GarageBand application instead, and plugged the headset jack into into my PT6 rig and did my best to turn each individual track (which were mono and there were about 25 tracks or so) into a stereo image. Then recorded vocals over it. My computer was so old and slow that I had to mix my music and then BOUNCE it to a new session - four times. My computer (which had 512 MB RAM and an 80 GB hard drive) couldn't handle more than 8 tracks at a time or it'd stop working because the processor couldn't handle it. Took me FOREVER to do. But I got it done. Had a lot of fun doing it too, even if it isn't my "best" work. I'm still happy with it, considering I didn't have many tools to choose from at the time.
Description : Long time lurker first time poster, pretty new to production n stuff, this is my first track in Ableton Live.
was going for a darkwave/synthwave sound, reminiscent of Justice, Carpenter Brut, Perturbator, ect.
Looking for some feed back, constructive criticisms or even just your thoughts if you liked it or not. This is just a rough cut on this current WIP, just the bones of it if you will.. If you have some cool title suggestions, would love to hear those too.
Thanks for listening.

Description : Far out mid-tempo fat beat deep chillout grooves with Eastern/Arabic and slightly menacing vibes, huge delayed synth bass and a great palette of psychedelic layered and intricate sounds (mostly synths) and a stirring, epic feel. Even has guitar solo section reminiscent of some 80s power rock which is then followed by a brief synth harp solo. I began making it straight after staying round the flat of the flute player from the legendary Ozric Tentacles - easily the greatest ever space rock band. I made this in about 2001 and still think it might be my best track (and it's nice and short, for a change). My production skills were much weaker in those days (no EQ, compression or mastering used here) but, somehow, this one turned out pretty much just right. Feel free to disagree. Now sit back and get ready to trip extremely far out. If you manage to return, let me know how that trip was...
