In The Dreams Of The Damned - ValveDriver

Name: In The Dreams Of The Damned
Duration: 436 s
Channel: ValveDriver
Description: I'm not sure how to describe this one. Somewhere between Industrial, dubstep, and....cinematic? 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. V.

Hi valve
This is excellently put together and the sound is also perfectly mastered.
To me it sounds like an amazing track for an exciting film so I would say cinamatic

ValveDriver replied 25th Oct 2024 - 2 years ago

Hiya, Rita.
Thank you! Cinematic seems the be the general consensus. For a long time I tried to get away from the cinematic sound, but as an artist before musician, I can't help but make images. In the case of music, I've learned that I basically just paint with sound. I start to see an image in my head as the track progresses, and then I just continue to create the soundtrack to whatever it is that I "see". So, Cinematic it is!
Thank you again!
Take care.

Kayos2 24th Oct 2024 18:04 - 2 years ago

I would say predominantly cinematic with a huge splash of trap and weird. Interesting and intriguing track that unfolds around your ears and surrounds you with a sense of something is coming but you don't know what it is. Mysterious. Kay0s

ValveDriver replied 24th Oct 2024 - 2 years ago

I can guarantee you that any Trap that might be in there is purely coincidental. That's a genre I don't listen to, so I really am not familiar with it. But I can agree with cinematic and weird. People have always told me that my non-metal work is very "soundtracky".
Either way, thank you for listening and commenting. It's much appreciated.
Take care.

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 :)

Stereonomicon 4th Jul 2020 21:32 - 6 years ago

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

ValveDriver replied 10th Jul 2020 - 6 years ago

Marco, sorry for the delayed response. I'm terrible about being timely.

Thank you for taking time to not only listen, but to comment as well. And with such kind words.

If you enjoy the darker atmospheres in my work, I suggest listening to my track "Labrynth Of The Absurd". It's labelled as Dubstep, but only in the sense that it has some wobbly bass and a 140 bpm.

Again, thank you for the kindness.
Take care.

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

ValveDriver replied 5th Apr 2018 - 8 years ago

Ed! How are you, mister?

Technology can sometimes be a real pain, can’t it?

I’m not really one to categorize into genres either. I figure, if it’s good it’s good. It doesn’t have to be confined.

This was one of those “winter tunes”. I generally get a little darker and (no pun intended) chilier with my music in the winter time.

I think that part right around the 3 minute mark would be categorized by most as dubstep. I just call it some fun with synths, and splicing.

Anyhow, I hope all is well. Hopefully you guys are starting to see signs of springtime life up there.

Take care, Ed. As always, it’s good to hear from you.
Aaron.

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!

ValveDriver replied 5th Apr 2018 - 8 years ago

Thanks, man. I’m sure not a whole lot has changed in 3 years. I haven’t been all that busy lately. But keep checking in. I might have something new.

Thanks again for the kind words.
Take care.

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.

ValveDriver replied 5th Apr 2018 - 8 years ago

Neo, what’s happening, bud?

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. (And everyone else.) life’s been a weird trip lately. Keeping me busy.

Anyhow, I’m glad you liked this one. It’s not real high on my list of favorites of mine, but I dig it. It was kind of the track that got me back into working new tunes. I kind of fell out for awhile.

I finally finished the last track of my Overmyth trilogy, it’s a doom metal-ish thing that, to me, is slow low and heavy. Keep an eye out for it in the next couple days.

Catch ya later, mister. Take care.
Aaron.

mrwolf14 7th Dec 2017 09:10 - 8 years ago

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

ValveDriver replied 5th Apr 2018 - 8 years ago

Dominico, how are you? It’s not often that you comment on my work, so when you do, I take it as an honor. Especially when you leave kind words. Thank you!

Take care.

Orlando51 7th Dec 2017 02:16 - 8 years ago

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

ValveDriver replied 5th Apr 2018 - 8 years ago

Orlando. How are you? I find it interesting that you mentioned the dark tones and everpresent tension along with the progression. The signature Valvedriver sound, if you will. I find it interesting, because much like my work, yours has a signature sound as well. Of course, yours is much lighter, and generally a more positive feeling, however. It all seems to have just a touch of hidden....melancholy (we’ll go with that word.) lying just below the surface. Not to mention, your skill at composition and instrumentation far surpasses my own abilities.

None the less, it’s always good to hear from you. Much like with Ed, I consider it a treat.

Take care, friend.
Aaron

Danke 5th Dec 2017 15:14 - 8 years ago

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

ValveDriver replied 5th Apr 2018 - 8 years ago

Danke! How are you, friend? Well I hope.

I like the Apocalyptic idea. Maybe I’ll have to create a track specifically with that in mind.

It’s good to hear from you, mister!
Take care.
Aaron.
