The Predatory Ruminations Of The Leaping Razor - N0mad23

Description : Final Version - put back as Drum and Bass, as the original intent was to subvert the genre. After 3 reviews taking me to task for calling it dark psytrance, I'm going with the consensus.
[WARNING: Do not expect to chill out or get happy behind this track. See above for why!]
This started out as an attempt to try Dubstep, but a persistent cat took me down an alternate path and I ended up with kind of forecast of a subgenre of DnB yet to be codified instead. When the Muse pulls, it's best to follow.
My daughter's 10 year old cat has a name that's longer than you
can shake a stick at, and one of them is Leaping Razor. This is
the auditory musings of her doing her duties as a responsible feline living with a pack of higher order primates. The ruminations end with the clicking of a can of food.
Loops are from my geng gong series, and Mercury Philosophique, and unposted drum loops made with old Sound Font software. Additional drum loops and bass loops by bosonHavoc. The heavily effected throat chants are by djgriffin and are Creative Commons licensed.
Recorded as a "live" piece with Ableton Live 7 LE. Draft 4=final.
The final version was recomposed to play to the cat's meow now heard throughout.

Description : When I made this beat, I had only been learning how to create beats for about two years-back then, I was using FL 9. It took me a huge amount of time to figure out how to use FL Studio, lol.
As you can probably hear,
I don't use any loops.

miss maybe a drop of the drumset because of the etrem complexity its hard to hear any kick or organized drums
really massive tune respect keep it up!
The beginning had a great sort of ethnic feel to it, the wierd detuned things sounded a bit like an out of tune sitar, and the bassline was wierd and somewhat creepy. This needs to be found by a movie producer or something
I think this does need to go into another genre, maybe wierd? Simply because I can't think of another genre for you to put this under.
Anyways, I agree with the very bottom review. Did the prey get eaten or not? We wont know. Ever.

so good luck
cheers
Personally, I'm glad that every song is not for everybody - it keeps things a bit more interesting. Cheers and thumbs up for your honesty.
Love love love love love it! Keep it up green machine!

this is too trip man!
not my usuall type but it jus sounds pure evil (in a good way
gives off a real tense atmosphere n im feelin that
pc
Actually In some ways... You are like a plant...
that's the best way to explain you as a creative entity..
Silent and living... Just growing and growing thru the headphase.
Just this epic flow of eponymous creativity.
See, from my personal background I hear the drums kicking in and then it taking a more pop form.. but I appreaciate this a whole hell of a lot compared to the original.
I think pop sensibilities... I mean... It's like.. on some ways.. I have been Anti-pop for about a year and a half... and I think it's a great way to illicit natural human emotion.
but
you have crossed this line and I would hug you if I could.
It's like the web of life is integrated and the emotion and feel are one and the same... fx drops pull and toss naturally and the voice/timbre mixes effortlessly..
You need a hook.
in general.
You need hooks.
you have music and arrangement down more so than any musical artist I have ever heard Sean.
But that american sugar pop is lacking..
and I don't know if I should commend you or hug you.
but just know it's not about what people (like me especially) think about your music
It's really about what you want.
If I was with you I would drop hooks. Guitar wise.. Vocally... Spoken Poetry.
This is sooo freaking ethereal... and I will try and write something.. but I would prefer to meet your face.

I suspect I'm still in physical rebellion, as you can hear the sonic results. The mind is willing, but the fingers on the buttons seem to have a will of their own - lol.
We need to talk. Really sit down and have an aural/oral discussion about music. I remain far too intuitive, and your ground and perspective could help me a lot. Someone said a while back that I'd never be mainstream, but there's nothing to prevent me grabbing on to their curtails. Perhaps the American Sugar Pop will make me sticky enough to attach?
In fact, I just did. Here's how it went.
So I asked "so does this music just freak you out? It just like puts its fingers into my soul and just ..... {wiggles fingers} Don't worry it's not harsh or anything." {I hand the headphones over} {minutes go by} "So is it freaky?" ... "I LOVE. It's real, real good. I love it." "Wow. Huh. Should I get you a copy?" "Yeh. Um. Maybe you should try and put some fingers in your soul."
Collab!! Let's start something.
If you've got the time! Great work. Cheers bro.
Your music seems to be coming from the depths of the Earth,progressively growing and reaching the surface.It's amazing how this one(and most of your work) is evocating(not sure about this word in English,lol)to me.
Another great one that's going to my favs
Cheers

Honestly this has a heavy ambient feel the more I listened to it,
i have that same problem u had when u wanted to make one genre and then for some strange reason the music gods pull u in another direction.
sometimes its better to go with ur gut feeling rather than a plan
PEACE LOVE AND TECHNOFOREVER
great track no matter what the genre i wouldnt change a thing!
10/10

This track really had me jacking man, to me this is serious music and you ain't joking when it comes to what you do.
Superb beats and atmosphere, i am sucker for those throat sounds, and that bass just brings all the magic together.
I could easily go a longer version of this, for i am striving for more, leaping razor, man you are a stepping razor and this is what makes you dangerous.
Superb.
A little bit scary.
Music to Have a Rebellion To. I'll make the extended remix just for you! Thanks.
It's Drum and Bass in a proto-roots form (something you can relate to) by virtue of its foundation(s). The drums lean toward a reggae sensibility, and there's more than a gentle nod toward Dub (lots of reverb and delay). Maybe it's a prediction of Shuffle DnB, or Dance-in-Place Dub - 90 bpm allows dance for a very, very long time. Maybe someone will be forced to create yet another sub-genre as tolerance of the unclassified seems to get right up some noses.
No backwards baseball cap used in the creation of this one. Here's to that!
The clicking of the can is, I believe, the universal food call for cats. Dogs are always in eat mode so it doesn't work for them.
