Description : I'm not sure how to describe this one. Listen to it, and then maybe you can describe it for me in the comments. Everything, with the exception of the drums, I made from default settings in both Sylenth1 and Massive. Everything from the E-piano sounding synth, to the chimes, to the "vocal" synths, and everything in between. Enjoy. Skol. V.

Description : "WORLD FUTURISM," a unique blend of global dance
and timeless sounds drawing from nature, traditional music, field recordings,
and the electronic savvy of modern centers like Chicago and London
Description : The tangled skein of life permeates all creation, binding the known to the unknown. This track, in its own subtle way, attempts to convey that.
Description : Just like the first EP "OGOU", this production focuses on organic elements with drum samples.It contains modern sounds such electronic down-tempo, future bass,and hip-hop, which makes the music sound old and new at the same time. With heavy sampling of African chants and sound generated from other tribes, this is production will bring more flavor and enjoyment--it's like Africa to your Ears.
Description : After a major uphill battle completing this song and turning it into what it is now, I feel some amount of satisfaction. It was like reality wanted me to give up or something. It's done... phew... Have updated this almost completely, from repatching the modular bass, playing some guitar parts, adding electric piano and synth lead, redoing and tuning the DW-6000 synth, of course adding my vocals, and mixing and mastering. It really has become pretty new wave, like much of my stuff does recently. Have added the lyrics as well. I am proud and happy with it, and I hope you all enjoy listening! UPDATE... woohoo just broke 1000 plays on this track here at looperman!
***original description***
Hey finally here with a new track! I'm not sure what to call this other than electronic, due to the high tempo. This is the first song finished using my interface which allows direct MIDI control of my modular synthesizer. The mid frequency bass part is all from that patch. There are tracks designed with my Zoom RT-123 drum machine, the microkorg, and the circuit bent KORG DW-6000. Other than that it is just a kick and snare drum sample, and a a quick vocal snippet. So I guess it's fairly minimal in that respect. Would like to hear the Looperman community's thoughts on this song! Thank you for listening

Pretty straight forward.
Hopefully, it should make you at least wiggle your toes. :P

Description : This coming from the New Project called, "World Futurism."
it's a production inspired by various tribes like Africa,Asia, North America. And with some heavy bass and synth sound, we got something refreshing to the ears.
I know I have promised a lot you that I will finish it but never did. However, I am for real this time.
Description : This one has a lot of changes. Pretty unique. Lots of dubstep sounds, glitch and other sounds. I always enjoy listening back to it. Throw on some headphones, crank it up, and experience the awesomeness of this epic electronic composition.
Sounded great to me, well mixed, lots of buzzing but no harshness when turned up (electronic music tends to destroy speakers and ears if certain precautions are not taken).
I'm sure it's healthy to go "outside the box" for a while (since the question for metal for 5 years has been "but does it Gent?").
You've got the VST work down so I say go weird or go home, especially when you keep ending up over 7 min, just call it prog metal :)
I discovered your music and I understand that I like it very much. I particularly appreciate the mastery of the sounds you demonstrate and the mysterious and disturbing atmospheres you are able to evoke. I will follow you with great attention, thanks for sharing. A cordial greeting Marco
I tried leaving a comment 3 times before and I get logged out every time I hit Post...switched browsers for this one...but I`ll make it short just in case...Dark....grinding..but what would be expected from ValveDriver..fits the title theme perfectly I think..that part that hits jest before 3 min is per4fectly huge...I don`t really know how to describe it either...but genres & such aren`t helpful to music creation....and this is...as always creative stuff...good to see you back around Aaron....keep on....Ed
Damn it's been maybe 3 years since I visited your page!
Nice track, very unique,as like all your stuff it's mixed clean and sits nice
Keep doin your thing!
Aaron, just noticed the new track and damn I'm here at work. I gave it a quick precursory listen using my ear buds because I wouldn't be able to get any work done thinking about it otherwise !! I really dig the heavy use of the high frequency sounds, very cool stuff ! That combined with the deep ryhthms and bass lines (should I say Dubstep elements?) really make for a uniquely interesting contrast. I have never heard anything like this before so yeah I especially dig this approach man. The overall vibe here seems like you have revisited early ValveDriver, which is really exciting. I definitely will be giving this a few more spins later this evening bro.
Good track!
I would not put it into any "category" ... but if forced to, I would say that it should have "progressive" and "dark" into the name.
Ciao, Domenico
Hi Aaron...long time no see..:),
I hope there will be no exaggeration if I say this is quintessential
ValveDriver trademark work. It brings together all important elements
that your unique progressive style is known for. Dark tone and everpresent tension work convincing as ever. The instrumentation choices are absolutely in place and I must say the synth work is fabulous and production shines !
Those exquisite 7 minutes were over in a flash...BRAVO !
Compliments and respect_____Orlando
Damn you, Mr V, and your damned dreams. You've probably been dreaming of this review so here it is:
A fading in distant, buzzy synth and then that trippy glassy lead is perhaps a little too loud and/or shrill. Kind of toy-like sound.
Trappy/dubsteppy drums enter and I know some fat bass is coming.
1:31 gets dubsteppier plus probably some Shreddage squealing there. Or maybe not. This is fairly unsettling, eerie stuff.
2:37 another break. I'd actually consider removing 1:31-2:27 and just going from 1:31 to the fatter, bassier section on 2:52. That's when things really come alive.
Another, windy, swiriling break and the drums return doing a bit more dubstep, wobbling madness.
4:00-4:03 that's actually a bit jazzy. I'd loop that section up and try to build something even jazzier out of it. The contrast with the dubstep could work really nicely.
5:40 by the time it's got here, the track seems to have had too many drumless breaks and it's a bit too predictable and plotted out that you're going to return with fatness. Just get rid of 5:40-5:56.
This is some good, solid, eerie shit but it didn't hit any particular high points for me. The structure was a bit too predictable and I wanted to hear some new and more varied sounds being introduced. All the same, it is quite nicely eerie and dark sci fi and the heaviest dubstep bits would well on a fucked up late night dancefloor.
Static DamnMad, dreaming of driven valves.
first to comment???
MASTERPIECE!!!
Man Aaron, you did it...everything together in this 7 minutes composition, why we like your world...darkness, progressivity, fabulous use of synths, song buildings, mixing, mood...what else?
My favourite break is the last one...
It could easily be a prog/metal hymn to use electric guitars instead of synths but it's not a critique of course...
Apocalyptic song as usual but this one sums up your career...:-)
thanx for sharing, fav with my handshake, Danke
