Description : So yeah, I originally wanted to start off by creating a tribute to good ole Bilbozo, but I ended up benching that idea and just decided to go with somethin new instead.
All in all, this is 4 channels- real simple stuff. I created the first synth Lead channel first (the mid-toned ones) and the rest of the song kinda built off of that. The drums are an absolute rip off of Mag's Livid (or whatever it's called). I didn't wanna mess with drums really on this one. Since my primary focus was the NanoKey. So after that I really quickly added some bass from the Drum&Bass synthesizer on Magix. After that it took a dive into la-la land. Yeah (will explain better below)...
Does anyone remember the first Dune film? With Patrick Stewart, Sean Young, etc?
Okay, do you remember the scene on planet Geidi Prime (home of the Harkonnens) where the Baron was boasting about something and his silent sidekick was standing there- grinding a black box (I guess would be akin to an alien pair of Bag Pipes). Anyways, that's what I was shootin for with the second set of Leads (the higher, f*ed up ones). Tryin to capture that whole Glitchy strangling a space Cat with a thing of Gladwrap, while holding it underwater.
I put it under Weird, because you'd have to be on some pretty intense stuff to follow this. Sanity has officially left the building here yall, haha. Hope yall dig this first day 'quickie' I threw together for ya. Download it too, if ya wanna. Later on everyone!
PS. I almost forgot- the name came
from the whole game trend that I've been
on recently. Anyone remember the NES
Max game controller, yep, nuff said!

Yeah, I think this is diff from what most folks do. A true experiment in sound. No rhyme or reason, just a bunch of tones. Glad ya dug it. Later on!

I'm a big fan of odd time-sigs. The drums are set up nicely to accomodate. The insect synth or whatever it is sounds sort of like a sitar in the phrasing. Has an indian influenced sound. (to me)

Cool deal mate. And it might have just been since I was kind of on an indo-chinese groove back then (posted a challenge in the forums and even made several loops for it). Anyways, glad ya dug. Later on!

This reminds me of some crazy jazz someone might make if they had a bunch of unusual instruments at their disposal. I dig it - but wait that means i'm on some intense stuff. oh no! Thanks for sharing this ultra creative track!

Thanks mate, I dunno what it is. This year is beginning to mark my ventures into the extremely experimental. Kinda like, I've stopped caring for the things I know and wanna be out there, on a thin limb with everything that I do. Sometimes it pays off (Whooplash & here), sometimes it doesn't (NESness & @30k Feet). Glad ya dug it. Later on!

Sounding crazy man, the studdering lead though doesn't loop well, sound's like an almost finished loop. That sound going in the background is soooo crazy.

I have a NES controller with the cheating turbo button =D!

Great crazy track!

Haha, I had 2 with the cheating turbo. The Max was one and I can't remember what the other was called (it looked like motorcycle handle bars).
As for the stuttering lead, they were all soundfonts of Magix (which are kinda so-so I'm thinkin). The background pads were added in a similar fashion to the Animal drum track I recently uploaded. Just went nuts on mashin down random keys. Later on!

Ok, so the track was......um, crazy. But, im down for f-ing up space cats with plastic wrap! Lol j/k I would "F" them up with Play-do. Makes no sense, but that was what I was going for!
DonnieVyros
DonnieVyros replied Unknown
Haha@Play-doh. Did you accidentally ever taste it? Like I remember one time I was playin with it right before lunch one day @ school. And it was 'Burger & Fries' day. Anyways, that sh*t is so nasty that I could taste it on my hands (even after washing 'em) and wasn't able to eat Fries for a couple of years after that. F***ing gross man!
Anyways, glad ya thought it was crazy. Later on!

I'm reading Dune right now, haven't got round to watching the film but I've played the old game, it's good stuff.
Lots of nice patterns in this one, very dirty sounding in places, which is why the contrast with the clean drums is nice.
It felt a bit out of time in places, but for a first try it's fantastic.
Looking forward to hearing more.

That's cool mate. There are so many books in that series it's hard to say which is the best. Though I will highly recommend that ya check out the Dune Prequels (written by Frank's son and this other novelist guy). I've got 'em all though I've only read half of them so far.
Of the films, I highly recommend the first one that came out in the 80s (the Sci-Fi channel did it too, but it just didn,t have the same vibe).
Yeah, the drums didn't quite fit because I added them second (prolly shoulda been first, but it's cool I guess). Kinda just wanted to put 'em there for reference. The keys were my main focus and I tried havin 'em be as different as night and day. Glad ya dug it. Later on!

Be careful, I had one key fall of my nanokey and I had to tape it back on. Also I have an Nes max controller but it doesn't work right, also I think that the NES Advantage arcade controller has a better turbo that is even adjustable.

DonnieVyros replied Unknown
Yeah mate, I hear ya. I kinda noticed how they were made like the keys on a PC's keyboard and could easily see 'em fallin off or breaking. That's why on this one I just did a soft rolling kinda thing on both of 'em.
As for game controllers, I was never fortunate to have a Advantage. I always wanted one, but I think my parents thought they were too expensive so didn't ever get me one. The Max was cool coz it had that 'circle directional control' which made going in diagonal directions so easy. Later on!

Description : A song I wrote over a guitar track that I found on YouTube. Link to the original track can be found below.

Have been attempting to write 2-3 songs over the past couple of months with little success, when this one just appeared out of nowhere.

It's a bit odd I guess (which is why I tagged it as weird) but I enjoyed creating and listening back to it, so here it is.

Thank you!

Description : I am quite open to all kind of music out there. This time I had some Church organ pipes lying around. With the help of 2nick8 and IMHO one of his best songs out there I put him into a big room and let the organs speak. Yes, maybe weird, maybe different, maybe 2nick8 will throw some egg against me ... I did it. What do you all think of it? (I changed the Genre to "Weird" in the meantime but "Experimental" would do also.

Description : I started out making this track a Vocal track, then it turned into a Chillout track but, now I'd say DubJazz, PsychoFunk or Weird. You be the Judge.

PEACE...

Description : This track is only magmatic chaos hanging on a simple rhythmic skeleton. I had fun shaping and mixing the most disgusting electronic slurry.

Description : Hey guys! Well, this is the first time I upload a song with my voice. I have to confess that this is not a style I usually sing. And, as an extra point, this is my first song in english. My native language is spanish, my english is not perfect, so sorry for mistakes (grammar, pronunciation, etc). Well, about lyrics, I explain the story on description of the instrumental version. If you want to read the story or hear the instrumental track, go here [ https://www.looperman.com/tracks/detail/146653 ]. This song was made on Magix Music Maker 2013 Premium and Adobe Audition 3.0. I hope you like it. Thanks! SUN & MOON... FIRE & ICE HEART... LIGHT & DARK FUSION...

Description : I wanted to do something different, TheFrenz sent me the stems to his excellent track 'Transformer' - And only one of the several versions of the track, using many of the same elements each time.
So I threw my hat in the ring with a version of my own, taking the elements of Transformer and doing some transforming. It only makes the song title that much more awesome. Music can certainly be transformed, taken to its next form...and the music can also be what transforms US. Pretty deep, man.

Description : So i did a bit of sound design on an interview i watched (its not a film or anything with reserved rights so Looper Admin finna chill out,lol)
its of a lady who committed a crime of passion, tortured her BF for 3 days before killing him because he had "snitched" and put many people in Jail.she shows no remorse at all and is presentably a very highly intelligent individual..this is a project i did.
basically some cinematic ambiance to accompany the tone of the convo and at the end i just put some simple loops of strings,arps and a nice killer guitar...didnt work hard on the drums tho..i dont know what genre this is so i will put it under "weird" then sit in a corner and cry coz no one listens to weird stuff lol
peace Loopers

Description : Again not sure of genre but it is kinda weird. Very much an experiment and Im not sure if it works but someone will let me know no doubt. If you can cope at all probably better with headphones. Pad sound is guitar treated with reverbs, crazy drums constructed from Akai kits and free jazz SFZ kit, sax samples and minimal synth line from arturia minifreak
