Description : EBM song from my electronic industrial project tentatively titled 'Project X'. the programming and mix are just about done, imo, but i'm at least adding a layer or 2 of vocals and perhaps some guitars. this is the first public screenings of this project, so please offer whatever critism you feel is in order.

Love the synths man. I think you're right about adding vocals. It'll totally add to the song. Sounds great man, keep it up!!

I love this. In general I'd find it weird but with such a nice beat and lovely bass and synth this rocks. Can't wait for the vocals.

Well for one i love the names of your tracks. People usually dont say much about it but if i like a title im gonna tell ya. And all your titles really make me want to listen to it. Now back to the music. I was a little afraid in the beginning, wondering if it was gonna be like that the whole time. And dont get me wrong it was good but not something that could stay that way. Once it kicked in i was very pleased. Then it slowed back down and so on and so forth. It was excellent. Great job and keep up the good work! -Gabe

Peace Love Jesus!

ya know, you're right, no one really mentions things like song titles. i do try to give the songs interesting names and i'm glad that they've had an effect. i guess deep down, i title tracks in a way that i'd like to see and get drawn in by. that's cool that you were surprised in how the song evolved, it wasn't a conscience thought. yeah, i was really happy how the ebb and flow in this song brought itself to the fore. i'm glad you like where it's at right now, hopefully you'll find the finished version just as kickass=)

Wow, this sledgehammer bass drum blows me away!
Very well done! After listening to some of your tracks, I recognized, that you're somebody who composes his tracks using his brain, developing thoughts.

cheers

thanks for the compliment, man! ya know, one of the things i love about composing, especially electronic based music, is you can find a balance between thinking through what works for a track and just letting go and letting the music work itself out. then at the end of the day, you take the whole thing and try to piece it together to maximum effect. i believe in emotional music and it's no use trying to force it, you'll just end up with mush. i really appreciate the compliments, man, i'm gonna work on getting some more tracks finished and online.

Bangin track bro..lovin the synth work.the subtle break at :25,the build up to the outbreak at 1:22,the change ups at 3:16 and 4:04 all fit together very nicely.cant wait to here it with vox and guitar.im thinkin the guitar is gonna give it a helluva edge.great work soo far-keep it going.

thanks for the review! i'm glad you enjoy the synth work, this was a fun track to program and write. i'm going to probably end up beefing up the drums a touch when i introduce the guitars. the guitars have become a real interesting aspect of this track, since i'm trying to find a unique approach in my chord selections to give it a 'helluva edge' but also to do kind of what i did with the programming, meshing sounds and melody in a very perpendicular fashion, if you follow me. i hope it all turns out well, heh. thanks again!

thanks for the review. i'll definitely give the tip about the drums a try. i usually compress the hell outta my drums, but i think with this track, i didn't mix them high enough because they interfered with the synths. and since it's just a rough mix, i didn't bother fine tuning everything enough to make it work. thanks for the kind words.

Description : Miguel from Bolivia got in touch wanting to sing on my Dirge in Em track. You never know what to expect but in this case he delivered with this emotional and wonderful vocal performance. Thanks and much respect to him. LM wouldn't let me insert his U-Tube or Spotify links but I'm sure if you seek you will find.
