excellent stuff. really great and loud sounding mechanical experimental simple dance music. I will take some time to read the forum post again but anyway this is a great track. I do not believe that there's some teory needed to create music like this but I must say I love the sound-image of the track. Congrats, Alex

Xmas word up, He Who Lives In Silence.

This is one cool track.

Skittery computer game shit to kick things and then a fat, fat, compelling beat.

"building little mechanisms"

I feel I can hear lots of little klokwerky things going on all the time as additional percussion.

1:16 that's a killer little bassline slowly fading in and getting stronger.

1:33 "bitch" vocal? Cool little drop there and then you give that bassline the fat beat it was crying out for. Great, busy fun now that people will enjoy on dancefloors in many places.

Another klokwerky breakdown at 3:04 and then some background strings entering. Then that killer bass returning over the moving machinery.

The rest is similar to what's already come before but it's all good stuff.

No particular suggestions from me as you have your own style, which is evolving and progressing nicely.

Congrats on your distinctive musical/personal character as I do often enjoy your posts and comments on this site. "Just sprinkled some pubes on it" is still the best!

Haha merry Xmas to you too!

I laughed at you calling it "computer game shit", coz that's pretty much what my last EP was, and what i'm trying to get away from (and it really WAS shit. However, that arp starts to sound like a gazelle in the drop which is a happy accident, lol.

As simple as it is, that bassline took longer to compose than anything else. House tracks are pretty repetitive so I needed to make sure it didn't get boring no matter how many times it was played, I feel I did well.

Also 1:33 she says "Time is a bitch", I knew the 'bitch' part was a lot more audible being higher pitched and on the last beat but maybe I should slightly amplify the first part?

Anyway glad you like the track. I like how in-depth you go on your critiques, your probs my best source of constructive criticism so thanks. Also you missed out on a (wonderful) conversation between "15ludwicke" and I about "snow tubing" lol.

Like those sounds. It took me the whole song to realize that the voice was saying "clockwork" instead of "awkward". Sounds like Hans Zimmer joined Ratatat and then they went to Ibiza! Very Nice.

Niceee. I've come to the conclusion your music sounds like a circuitry board in musical formation. If that makes any sense. Really liked the sounds in this one. Technical. Great work, happy holidays. peace

Haha damnit. My friend once found a folder on my computer containing strings of code I wrote for an IT assignment back in high school, she was like "So this is where you keep your sheet music?". :/

Apparently I perceive my own music very different to how others do lol. Anyway i'm glad you like it! And happy holidays to you too! :D

Peace!
