Description : There's a thin line that separates music from annoying noise, I'm not sure which side of that line this track is on.

I'm starting to figure out how to make some pretty cool sounds using data bending, in fact the .exe file from Half-Life 2 makes it's musical debut in this track.

Lemme know what you think.

Oh man this is definitely on the music side of that line!! I throw this on my computer and play it over my stereo while i scratch on my turntables. It's sick!

This is awesome! I really like that high pitched main riff! How exactly do you do data bending? I'm very curious about this process. Nice track!

Hey thanks. What you do is open up a non-music file in some sort of wave editor that's dumb enough to open anything you point to. I used a trial copy of Goldwave. Most of what you'll get is static, but every now and then there's something usable. I've found .dll and .exe files tend to be the best.

It comes in at about 40 seconds and lasts maybe 3 seconds.

very cool sounds, what vst(s) did you use? how many tracks all togther? Curious to know because it sounds really odd, and I enjoy listening to experimental/leftfield-ish types of electronic music.

Thanks. I only use stuff that came with FL studio, so really the only vsts I used were FPC for the percussion and this thing called toxic biohazard for the main riffs. I only used about 9 different tracks.

And again some other cool sick sounds! Really like it! And hl2.exe is definitely starting a career in music lol. I try to make some databending too and it's really funny to hear how a file sounds! Another nice glitchy track!

Haha, thanks. Databending is fun, but you never know what you'll get. I bent like 60 different files and only got 5 or so usable sounds.

Description : Deep beneath this house stand forges no hand has lit in decades, their iron cold, their bellows collapsed to dust. Yet I return to them still, tracing my fingers along soot that remembers heat long after the fire forgot how to burn.

Every wound I ever shaped, every choice hammered white-hot in some forgotten year, still holds its form within me, cold now, but never truly extinguished. Strike the right anvil, and even ash remembers how to spark.
