Man I remember myself and a few mates hitting a pub on the outskirts...we took over the jukebox...we decided what was gonna get played lol until a group of metal head bikers passing through gatecrashed the pub...big hairy dudes lol...so one of them proceeded to the jukebox and we gladly stepped aside...thinking we were gonna get bombarded by death metal music grabbed our coats...man we were so wrong, they were pumping out Aphex Twin, drum and bass music....we proceeded to get drunk with them lol
So yeah to conclude..metal heads got good tastes...man I have heard this before and its still wicked...awesome fusion of sounds combining to make a solid track...nice come down outro...serenity in death??
Yes thank you! Hey man, make more music!! I miss yer style lol
ahh, but to explain further, at the time that I wrote this, I was just getting thru the first few months of being offa the hard drugs, so in a way, it was the death of certain attributes, ideas, and habits. Me dropping the bottle and running and the beast in the background?... yea kinda stupid and cheesy lol.. but it meant a lot to me at the time?..
OH, btw,.. Something that I have been struggling with, and I know I kinda fell off there for a bit (i do often lol) but you know.. I really miss how you get people together and create music-- you know?.. With this whole digital thing.. I am getting very frustrated, because .. I already KNOW how everything is going to sound, or how I want it too... I really miss the live synergistic context .. jamming man...
Loops and collabs here and there are really all I am truly interested in lately.
And to think anyone ever thinks I tend to mash too much together! It's about outcomes, isn't it? Symbolically speaking - for the Buddhists it's the Empty Glass and for the Qabalists it's the Full One. All roads lead to Dali's Museum.
Glad to see someone helping Dad (Metal) and Mom (DnB) see the divorce wasn't really necessary.
Hey, very nice mix of catchy beats and awesome riffs!
Very atmospheric and heavy at the same time! It has a lot of power!! Gonna Like it, Download it and Fav it ;)
I always loved this track brother... nice to see you finally going back and getting the final touches done...
for me I'm think it's a little muddy on the drum side but knowing you ...you already know that..that kick needs to come up in the mix and the snare needs to be sharper like a knife edge..ya know?
I'm not sure but maybe cut some off the top end of the drum track might go towards fixing that...
those guitars scream and growl like a caged panther being poked with a stick and those glitches only add to the power of that..
I can't help the feel that maybe the use of a kinda hammond sound might add something else to the high end once the high end is cut off the drum track thus fill the hole...ya know?
anyway I finish this with how I started it...
I always loved this track brother and the good news is I still do ...
Yea.. I really really messed up on this man! I started finalizing things.... and this was before I was smart about how I labeled my stuff.
I know that we have had that dialogue going on.. But if I do anything else like this in the future, I would prefer to try and work with you?
We could share rights on the drums, I could do some metal riffage, you do the sickassbass you always do?
Hopefully get in an argument.
Start a huge brawl.
Then there's a legal issue... but after a short respite, and a tall 32 oz styrofoam cup of red wine we come to terms and create an even heavier track than this lol
Lol you mixed the good ol' metal with chrystal clear, digital sounds. the riffs are sweet, also the arrangement. but it doesn't sounds like metal anymore... more like a track from need for speed. ;D
But that's what happen, if many people work on a track, it gets from everybody a you can hear everybody of you guys speaking out of this track. ;)
great job! :)
Love the sounds in the start. Fantastic guitar and drums. Nice sounding pad effects too. You're a crazy person Alivid, you know that? This song is so energetic, destructive, and crosses so many genre boundaries, but I geuss you know that already.
Downloaded.
Fav'd.
Hopefully if my Dad heres me listening to this on my mp3 while he's driving he wont start speeding.
Hah! Thanks man! Yeah I have been really working on this one the most lately..
I am still really not pleased with it just yet.. It's like one of those tracks where I change one level and then everything is out of wack!
Lotsa side-chaining.
The bass and cymbals need some love... sigh
I balanced the mix offa Pendulums - Self vs. Self (ft In Flames) Good God do I love the compression on that monster track.
Thanks Stephen! I need to stop by, it's been awhile
Jesus what type of thing to say about your music is that? I will admit though i do get very uncontent with my music when i hear other that are WAYYYY more skillful. but..i think if it sounds good to YOU and was created by you to be simply what it is, i think thats all that matters. anyways, i like this. the mix is pretty smooth on the drumline, and it fleshes out very nicely. i also like the lingering strings. if this is what it was made to be. then keep it that way, it's not stupid. i like it. thumbs up
very cinematic! awesome. did the academy awards for best score get ya pumped for this? love your works and loops bud! thanks for sharing so freely all the time with the advice too. peace.
------------------------------------------
That was nice, but no sweat! :) thanks again :) :)
Figured since I was here, I might as well listen to all of your tracks.....
both of them, haha.
Glad I did. This is epic. My computer starts to puke when I have more than 24 or 25 tracks cooking at one time. If I gave it 100 it would commit electronic suicide....
On that note, all I can say about this one is WOW...WOW...WOW!!!!
Thank you! Means a lot... Man.. Bear... I am totally struggling... SO dissastisfied with my skills... with LIVE music.. with the effing scenes.. THE dead-end lifestyle of musicianship or entertainment....
Even despite these claims of "art".. I can't find my heart in it at times, and it breaks it into a thousand pieces... I suffocate under that weight of loss.
It's raining here in the desert today....a rare thing indeed. What is more incredible is your rain sounds better than the real thing :) Hope all is well.
This is an awesome fusion! The two genres really are meant for eachother aren't they? It really seems like you put a lot into this one! The drums are a wicked hybrid sound! Very cool guitar riffage! Nice work man!
