Description : EDIT: I adjusted the ending as per Paperkup's suggestion. I like it better. Maybe you will too.

The realization, and inevitable acceptance that the last ember of life is smouldering into obscurity. Then finally, and peacefully, exhaling the final breath of life.
This is a dark ambient track that will go between two of my other tracks. A good pair of headphones/earbuds are highly suggested for this one.

Opinions and criticisms are welcome. Enjoy, and take care. V.

Description : This is a groovy, steady rolling motherf**ker right here. This what you have playing while you're stuck in a mid 1990s movie montage, planning, preparing, pulling off, and on the get-away from a big-ass, high stakes diamond heist.
Enjoy, and take care.

Description : Another one featuring Bicky Stalls and the Snushbakes. This one is a groovy, dark and smokey little number somewhere between psychedelic and cinematic. It's like riding shotgun in the Devil's coupe on a slow midnight cruise to nowhere, half passed out, loaded on whiskey, cigarettes, and bad choices.
Enjoy, and please, let me know what you think. It's definitely not a typical Valvedriver style track, so your input is valuable.
Thanks, and take care.

Description : This is a catharsis after having lost too many to this. The track itself is dark, heavy, and has a rolling/driving beat with screechy synth leads. It's full of tension meant to make you feel uneasy. Hopefully it worked.
Take care.

Description : EDIT 3/21/2025: I went back and boosted some of the mids, and the percussion to balance it out.

Fun fact about this track: In 2014 I posted a track called "Hatred Saint". recently, I found it collecting dust in a forgotten folder. When I listened to it, I thought, "This is good. But it could be better." So I opened it up, and began surgery. It still resembles the original, but it's evolution was so vast that it deserved it's own title. Maybe someday I'll re-upload the original for comparison.

Description : Those of you who have been here for more than 5 years knows exactly what it means when I say this is Old-school Valvedriver. For those of you newer than that, it means that this is dark, aggressive, and relentless in it's consistent driving force. This is an all new, all synth track. For the synths, I created everything in Serum and Sylenth1. Enjoy. Take care. V.
11th Oct 2024 02:30 - 11 months ago
Description : Another instrumental heavy metal track that leans more toward progressive with an ethereal twist. This is part 2 of the trilogy that tells the story of our existence. This is about the introduction of humanity and a tracking of our curious nature to understand why we are here. Enjoy. Take care. V.

Description : Electric Cicada. A slowly building metal(ish) track. Enjoy.
Take care.

Description : As we usher in the dystopian rule of AI, civilization devolves into the most primal of human instincts. Sex and Violence. This is a cinematic-electro-industrial-metal tune that paints a picture of our social-economical decline into depravity. Enjoy. Or don't. It's your choice. One of the few choices we still have the freedom to make. Take care. V.

Description : Continuing in the re-upload project, this was originally my first upload here on Looperman in 2012. I wish I hadn't lost the vocal files or I'd go back and remix the percussion to be louder in the mix. If I had more room here, I'd tell the backstory to this. It's kind of neat. Anyhow, enjoy.
24th Mar 2021 18:27 - 4 years ago
Description : A dark D&B track made with Massive, Serum, Sylenth1. All percussion, bass and synth loops created by me, from scratch. Let me know what you think. Hopefully it doesn't sound like crap on your system.

Description : EDIT: He did show up, but didn't stay long. Ya know what I mean? On to Valhalla he went. At least I hope so. That's the only place that can handle him.

A friend of mine just disappeared one day. But that was no surprise. He belonged to no one, and no one tried to keep him. If he's *gone*, I imagine he went down in a battle against the gods.

Here's to you, mister. Wherever you are.

Oh, yeah...the song. It's all Sylenth1, Piano One, and EzDrummer. That's it. Nothing else.
21st Aug 2020 00:23 - 5 years ago
Description : A dark Drum and Bass tune.
6th Aug 2020 19:23 - 5 years ago
Description : When someone lives in your walls, watching, waiting. Not one of my darker tunes, but it's a little menacing at the very least. All synths, and basslines created by me in Serum, sylenth1 and massive...like always. I suggest speakers, or headphones that can pick up deep sub bass.

(Edit: I adjusted some of the melody synth levels. They were buried too deep in the mix. I also brought the percussion down a touch. Hopefully this is better)

Description : This is my city. The city of Portland, Or. Right now. The audio clips were taken from today's (July 23) news coverage of the last 56 days of protests, and the unmarked federal officers "detaining" people and disappearing with them. Some of which, still to be heard from. This is my city. Right now.

This is a true-to-form Valvedriver track. Heavy, Raw, and driving. All synths were made with Serum. By me. Just for this track.
Take care.

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.
2nd Jul 2020 09:44 - 5 years ago
Description : For those of you who remember Valvedriver's earlier electronic work, then you should dig this one. It's all in my old pre-metal style. All electro, all synths, all VSTs. I used Sylenth1, Massive, and Serum for all synth leads, basslines and accents. All sounds created from scratch just for this track. (Except for the Toy Piano). I suggest headphones for this. Enjoy, and take care. V.

Description : Before we came along. The humans. Nature was the ruler of the planet. From the most serene, to the most destructive. Living in the Pacific Northwest, I'm constantly reminded of how it must have been before we were here. That's what this trilogy is about. The progression of the cycle of life from the deepest past, to our not so distant future. Enjoy. Take care. V.

Description : I had some fun with a wah-pedal effect in this one. It's nothing too remarkable, but a fun little Rock piece none the less. Enjoy. V.

Description : part 3
5th Dec 2017 05:30 - 7 years ago
Description : I'm not sure how to describe this one. Somewhere between Industrial, dubstep, and....cinematic? Everything, with the exception of the drums, I made from default settings in both Sylenth1 and Massive. Everything from the E-piano sounding synth, to the chimes, to the "vocal" synths, and everything in between. Enjoy. V.
15th Apr 2017 07:12 - 8 years ago
Description : Part two of three. EDIT - 04/05/2018: I went back and adjusted a few things. I cut some of the hi-mids in the guitars. Boosted the overall low end bass frequencies, and brought the drums forward a little.
11th Mar 2017 12:29 - 8 years ago
Description : Part one of three.
22nd Feb 2017 06:06 - 8 years ago
Description : I used Serum and Sylenth1 to create all the synths and basslines. It's not dubstep, and it's not Drum and Bass, but it's elements are heavily drawn from both to create an experimental industrial track in it's own class. It's heavy, aggressive, and driving. Either you will like it, or you won't. I don't think there will be an in-between. Take care. V.

Enjoy. Take care. V.
