In The Spirit Of Reich Take 1 - Thyroid

Description : This is a track that has been inspired by Steve Reich, a minimalist artist that makes music with a lot of dissonant notes mostly fast with chaos and yet very structured. I am not copy him but wanted to make a piece that has my own twist in it. I used a great vst called phase Shifter where i made all the instruments in with the effects. Samples made by myself. Composed in Ableton. The genre is Ambient but that doesn't work for this piece, but it was the closest genre. I hope you stop by and listen to it, and allways enjoy it.

Thyroid... This is just epic! I love the smooth and New Age style intro at the beginning, and then the African style drums coming in around the 2 minute mark then it drops back to the smooth melody. Reminds me of Flying Lotus somewhat (who's also a multi-generalist musician in case you haven't heard.) This track is really nice though, great work!!

A musical component, very special, and not accessible to all ears. I salute your attempt, as it was daring, something that you have succeeded ....

Nice work indeed! Nicely dissonant and slightly unsettling. Great mood piece.

great music, first of all - stunning and original composition. I think this is really great work taking SR's cell-based approach in a new and v effective direction. much respect for the intent, much mucho respect for the execution - this is beautiful, theoretical, lyrical, rhythmic and it works

I think you did him proud. If you keep on plugging away, sooner or later you will come up with your own style, then people will try and make a style based off of yours.

I am thinking to explore more and experiment more with this kind of genre but with my own thoughts.
Thanks again.

One acapella by Elven Voice, one loop by GenaMusic... So separate but something common...I decided to merge them and to leave them as clean as I could. Just added some synth pads and percussion.

Description : I made this with a very out of tune Yamaha Acoustic Guitar in a super unique tuning that I think pleases my minor harmonic ear very soothingly.

Description : My third rap song. Still not entirely sure how I got here, but I'm having fun with it. This time, I brought along my alter ego, Cool Grandpa. He's got more swagger than I do and helps bring a little street cred (although not much) to the operation.

I did update the vocal mix based on feedback and I think that was a good call by gixxie. Vox is stronger now.
