Pin Cushion Medicine - ValveDriver

Hello :) You definitely did achieve the uneasy effect you were looking for, I like the type and quality of the "industrial" synth - great dark bass, well done!

Man....Jared and I both have been thru some really dark things in our lives, its a miracle we're still breathing. I left that particular monster behind in 2018...Jared is 10 years younger than me and he was determined to make every mistake our sister and I taught him not to make. Im happy to say hes been on a journey of his own for almost 2 years, and i couldnt be prouder of him.....this track oozes with the horror and feeling of what life would be like had we been a tad less strong and faltered. Forever shackled with invisible chains, joy and happiness are so far away that they seem like myths.....and the unbearable weight of shame that destroys the last threads of hope....i feel immense sadness for every single person who lost the struggle, alone and in pain. Im truly sorry that youve lost so many Aaron. This was very visceral and matched the topic almost too well at times. You understand your art, brother. This was beyond great.

Really misty, creates an agony but not for the listener. It is empathy. It is those people who are addicted to drug use. It is how they feel, it is a clear description and of course it is a catharsis for you. Great musical theme and a great arrangement.
Best wishes, Anthony

Well, V., this really isn't something I listen to every day. But I wanted to hear what you're doing, and I have to say, it's working well for me. It's a truly entertaining cinematic experience... but stay away from the real opiates. It's a great, bombastic sound and a clever composition. Congratulations.

Great dark track indeed !!!!! I enjoyed it !!!! Cheersssssssssssssss !!!

Great and dark track and a great tribute to your friends.
I'm glad I was never tempted; I'm glad I never lost friends to drugs or alcohol - I saw some slip away which was a warning to me but they recovered.
Big hug to you!

hi Aaron it seems you have also been away for a while too, it's nice to be missed eh, makes you feel it is worth it after all lol, dark very intense and so so good, i done a similar piece life of an addict when i first started here, about said substance and the white, well basically everything lol it done really well here too so to here a similar piece just executed by a pro to a level i could only have dreamt of back then, it sent a shudder bro, and brought memories of friends who used it, i'm familiar with pin cushion though, the hit was heaven, made a deal with the devil that was a good line i can remember from mine, your work is always top notch , this was a great listen

What a brilliant track. Really liked the dark tone and atmosphere.
Truly a piece of art.
Exellent work.

Uhhhh Aaron!
What an apocalyptic journey this was.
Bit of the book by McCarthy: The road.
Every point is sharp and penetrating, a dramatic work that is painful and suggests no hope.
Unfortunately, we are heading towards (or are already there) some kind of mood and state, aren't we???
Thanx for the upload your art man.
Always hats off,
fistbump,
Danke

Pretty fire track man! soo heavy very well done

Far out man, this is such a heavy track. The mix is amazing. It could easily be a heavy metal track too but it doesn't need the guitars cause the synths and bass and percussion do the job to the max. Going back and looking at some of the conversation around this track - yeah that song Would is amazing. He was a fantastic singer. And didn't Andrew Wood inspire the Temple of the Dog album too? Brilliant stuff anyway man. Zoot.

I LOVE NOISE TRACKS THIS IS SIIIIIIIIICK

Wow, this is a really heavy track, which totally befits the subject matter. Very dark and pounding, reminds me of early NIN and Ministry a bit. Great use of dialogue as well. Overall, an excellent track. I've seen the devistation coursed by this drug (OD's and deaths) and it truly is a filthy drug and the destroyer of lifes.

You depict the Primal Scream with that edge of hopelessness and feeling lost so v well. Welcome back, by the way

WOW, heavy AF. Very unique. Epic journey!! Great stuff. Love it!

Very intense music possibly like the problems or their resolution. Great sound with lots of instruments and effects to interfere.
I like your music and please let me say "don't mess with drugs unless you are a doctor".
Best regards, Anthony
