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 : In 2015 I made a dubstep track called Labyrinth Of The Absurd. This is part 2. Check out part 1 if you haven't yet. This is a Dark D-n-B. Or whatever.
I used Serum, Massive, Sylenth1. I used no presets, and no prefabricated loops. This is all original content from scratch. The only exception being the vocal samples.

Description : 170 BPM drum 'n' cell epic. That's drum 'n' bass with lots of my layered, lead cello playing. It's both banging and chilled out, with intricate basslines and soaring, melodic cello parts. Instruments: electric cello, piano, three synth basses, two synth pads. Drums are loads of drum loops supported by a few programmed acoustic drum kits. It's fast and powerful stuff but there are also two deep grooving half tempo sections. No guitar so anything that sounds like it might be is, unsurprisingly, cello. This was fairly hard to make and required a lot of hard work. It's still far from perfect, especially the rather abrupt, unimaginative ending (I couldn't think of anything better). Have a good listen and then consider leaving me some fascinating feedback. Not much drum 'n' cell about so I like to think this is worth checking out...

Description : Sometimes I love taking our great singers out of their comfort zone and placing them in a completely different genre. This time, it's Callmedezz, for whom I've created a velvety soft bed of sounds for his rather powerful voice, making sure the women feel comfortable after light is switched off :-)

Description : Pure melodic Liquid Drum & Bass
I got my start in the industry (As in paid artist/music label) with Liquid DnB, it's a nice thing to go back to every once in a while. Especially remixing such fantastic vocals.

Description : Hyperpop Vocals fused with Drum and Bass and a heavy buildup.

Searching for Hyperpop Vocalists.
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.
Ste :)
William "tweety"
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!
Sincerely,
ShojoBeast
mate what a stunning piece, wow, trance piece with your touch and own style, some thing real eerie about this track, like medieval, but so addictive, had to listen too it a couple of times and each time something else shone through, man you are a genius, absolutely stunning...instant fav piece...thank you for once again showing your talents my friend...Peace...Estefano...
you are def very versitile my friend.
great work!!!

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
I'm getting a industral vibe, much like NIN (downward spiral) This sounds very technically involed, a lot of detail and textures. Eq sounds pretty sweet too! Would like to get a copy of this sometime, tell you what... trade you one of my songs for this one lol, ttyl,
jon
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.
abe
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
sean.
ughish
Almost has a PlanetJazz thing happening in some aspects...
But it is undeniably awesome!
I can almost picture what sounds you put together to make that epic digital hummnnnnn fill the spectrum...
GOD i Fukkkking LOVE great space!
This is full of tempted sonics... It's like I can feel you holding back...
As far as a purist DnB goes you would "technically" have failed.
And I say YES THANK SWEET BABY JESUS lol!!!!!
Thank God!
Blow their minds sir!
Faving this one...
Altho, if you are feeling really crazy, I would think about adding some really Sawey waved synths with the epic eponymous digital wash you have going that to me represents the predatory... but please? introduce a simple counter melody?
I am feeling a TB-303.. but I could be wrong...
Something very striking timbre pops into mind.. something SCREAMING for life.
Is this a done endeavor?
I think there's more to be discovered here...
But for the time being, I am going to STFU and just enjoy this.
Thank you for being.
Gmail sucks
POST EDIT.
Thank you!
You know, I was listening again today, and I was thinking about something....
The thing about cats....
This was told to me by a friend, and I have never forgotten it, and I know this is off of the music part, but more of the storyline...
but cats are amazing predators and amazingly agile.
The problem with cats, and the theories on them, is that they see the world literally like people saw the special effects in the matrix... (I should most definitely linkage some reference, but hear me out)
When you take a cat out of it's element, it immediately shuts down as a predator. It has to COMPLETELY stop all functions and watch every little detail in the room.
For example, if you move a cat from one house to another with a cage, and you release the cat, It moves slowly, checking everything out.
And day after day, the cat becomes more accustomed, and eventually the cat is jumping off the ceiling fan and scratching your face off.
It's an interesting animal.. I think they call the term momentary vulnerability... It happens with all species of live animals.

Anyway, keep me posted... all I can really do with GMAIL is log in and see what's happening but can't do anything else in my account.
I wonder at times if it has anything to do with their current state of affairs.
KEEP IT UP!
This is the first draft I've gotten under 10 minutes long. Most takes are running between 12 and 17 minutes, so the Beast has a life of its own. My latest attempt has been to render individual and two tracks together and reimport the lot into a new session to try some things with isolation and perhaps more manipulation of the sense of time. Ableton Live 7 LE's got severe limitations, but I'm understanding things well enough to work around them at last.
I'm absolutely intrigued by your suggestion to add a counter melody, and I'm sure that's going to set me down several unexpected paths. Sweet!
I'm so glad you're back! And I owe you a huge thanks, as you're the ONE that convinced me to defect to the Ableton camp. Cheers for that!
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.
