Cool deal mate. Glad ya dug it and this gave me an idea for a new track. Later on!

Haha@Play-doh. Did you accidentally ever taste it? Like I remember one time I was playin with it right before lunch one day @ school. And it was 'Burger & Fries' day. Anyways, that sh*t is so nasty that I could taste it on my hands (even after washing 'em) and wasn't able to eat Fries for a couple of years after that. F***ing gross man!
Anyways, glad ya thought it was crazy. Later on!

That's cool mate. There are so many books in that series it's hard to say which is the best. Though I will highly recommend that ya check out the Dune Prequels (written by Frank's son and this other novelist guy). I've got 'em all though I've only read half of them so far.
Of the films, I highly recommend the first one that came out in the 80s (the Sci-Fi channel did it too, but it just didn,t have the same vibe).
Yeah, the drums didn't quite fit because I added them second (prolly shoulda been first, but it's cool I guess). Kinda just wanted to put 'em there for reference. The keys were my main focus and I tried havin 'em be as different as night and day. Glad ya dug it. Later on!

Yeah mate, I hear ya. I kinda noticed how they were made like the keys on a PC's keyboard and could easily see 'em fallin off or breaking. That's why on this one I just did a soft rolling kinda thing on both of 'em.
As for game controllers, I was never fortunate to have a Advantage. I always wanted one, but I think my parents thought they were too expensive so didn't ever get me one. The Max was cool coz it had that 'circle directional control' which made going in diagonal directions so easy. Later on!

Yeah, the groove of this is kinda different coz I made it in stages at different times.
As for blending genres, I think that & experimenting are my favorite things to do with music. Glad ya dug it. Later on!

Yeah mate,
That sounds like a pretty solid plan. Maybe I could make it the next Stage2 mission or somethin (unless you were wantin to start this).
Oh, and I almost forgot- about the thing I mentioned for the other song.
Yeah we could do .wavs and I was thinkin we could also do the entire .mp3 (dunno if your prog can mess with those though). Lemme know if that sounds cool to you. Off for now. Lates!

I hear ya. Ironically, the bass was like the first thing I edited for this and what kinda caused it all. The drums came next and honestly, I felt like this would be fine with just those, but it woulda been sorta flat. So I added the other stuff.
And isn't fusion great? Glad ya stopped by. Later on!

Okies mate, sounds like a solid plan to me. Just shoot me some specifics of what yer wanting to do and we'll see if we can't bang one out.
Oh, and the concept came from all of those game remixes they've got out there. I stopped and thought- you know what, I've never heard a mash-up type of mix before. Glad ya dug it. Later on!

Yeah, I think yer right lil bro (if I remember right). I'm a bit rusty at the mo' coz I've been drankin, haha.
As for the track, yer gonna make me do it, ay, make me relisten to it? Haha, yeah those percs were what I first started with and I loved 'em so much that I hadta do somethin with 'em.
I'm thinkin the drum/bass part ya mentioned is one of the things that I was wanting to edit on this coz I've always felt that that part of the song was the weakest section. Didn't really know which way to go with 'em- do I drop the extra kicks, do I drown out & fade the bass, do I completely rework the drum section? I dunno, but when I do go to rework this I'm sure I'll have it sorted out. Glad ya dug it. Later on!

Yeah, I do too!
& a Game Boy Pocket (don't really mess with 'em though).
It's a Guitar sound font that I use (it's just that some of the notes are highly placed, kinda like how you can get Guitar-like sounds if you play a Bass down near the bottom of the neck).
As for the c-fades, haha, I do that in almost all of my songs lil bro.
And is the off key thing really that bad or is it the musician in you taking the helm on that judgment? Later on!

It's cool mate,
My original desc didn't really do a good job of explaining the song. I just edited it once to explain the drum treatment, but I suppose I could re-edit it to talk about the other stuff.
As for whatcha said, yer pretty right. I just took the samples and worked on makin 'em sound like they were being played out of a Radio that had just been run over or was about to have its batteries run outta juice.
Sonic experimentation, savy?
Try thinking of it not as a DJ/Producer who wants to keep people dancing, but as a composer trying to make music for a movie or animated short.
Or think of it instead as something that'd be played in a big club's secondary 'green room'. Not meant to be primary or mainstream. Thanks for the feedback though. Later on!

Sup Dubz,
Yer actually not too far off. They aren't all matched up. The Guitar are in G, the bass is dropped down to E, and the Pads are in B. Maybe what I should've done is mod the Pads up one key to C to give the whole thing a C minor feel.
As for the other, I wasn't really thinkin about makin a solid mix. I kinda wanted to give it a free-form vibe. For that, I'm gonna recommend that ya listen to a few live groups of musicians. When yer there long enough you'll hear 'em go crazy at one point and each'll kinda do their own thing. Thanks for the input. Later on!

Thanks Spit,
Yeah, I don't do 'em that often, but that's kinda because I think that the more time I give between these songs the better they're made, I think (shrugs). I think eventually I'm gonna haveta set a rule list to follow for makin different genres- like this week do House, next week do Experimental, 3rd week do samples/acapellas, 4th week Hiphop, etc. Glad ya dug it and feel free to remix this one mate. Later on!

Prech that mate. As for the FX, man, I kinda need 'em because my vox would sound like rubbish otherwise.
As for where I went, not there just yet, and I'm beginnin to think that I aint ever gonna get there (not one person has stepped up to say that they'd like to flow on this w/me).
As for the email, I think I mentioned somethin about it to ya somewhere on here. Later on!

Hahaha,
Thanks for the chuckle, brother. Yeah, I rap, nothing serious, but it was somethin I wanted to try my hand at too.
As for what I'd do next, I dunno- Country maybe? Try to compose something truly Classical? Ooh wait, I know, make some kinda boy/girl band Pop-type song, yeah! Haha. Really? Hmm, R&B maybe. That'd be the next logical step I'm thinkin. Later on mate!

You know what's funny. I've never been afraid of enclosed places at extreme heights. Its just when I'm out in the open standing near the edge (or on a ladder, for example) that I start getting nervous.
So mountain climbing? Sure! Cliff climbing? No thanks! Haha.
As for house, I think the name came from where it would commonly be played when it was forming- in 'House parties'. As time passed, it grew in popularity and spilled out into the clubs and such. In a way, I think that when that happened House kinda lost itself to generic or dare I say, Pop-glam crap (glamorized by mainstream people putting their own spin on it).
As for my spin on House, I don't study it religiously or anything (don't really do that with any particular genre, normally). I just know what I like to hear when I'm makin stuff.
Haha, and yes- I was wanting to create a 'Trippy vibe' to support other people's addictions. Not that I endorse getting high, but I'm not gonna protest it either. And if I can help, well, then that's just cool beans, Billy! Haha.
The fades were an experiment- Both in playback quality and in my attempts at simulating Turntable-style mixing on my DAW. Glad ya dug it. Later on!

Thanks for the feedback mate. You & others inspired me to modify my track description to explain that. Later on!

I hear ya mate. There was a state of mind that I was trying to capture when I was makin this. That moment where you're in between being asleep and awake. Where the dream is still visible, but you're beginning to realize that it is one. And then there's the nastiness of the alarm clock. Stepping in to kill the dream. Glad ya dug it. Later on!

Thanks and umm, man, I'm tryin to think back. It was definitely an Effect I added onto the main song. Kinda hard to peg it down to which one because there was like... 4 channels of Effects I used on this, I think. I think it was= EQ, Distort, and Amp Simulation. Beyond that I'd haveta go back & check. Glad ya dug it. Later on!

I hear ya lil bro.
In fact, I might just shoot that idea over to Young. I'm thinkin that if he did 'em they'd sound super sweet. Glad ya dug it. Later on!

Yeah, it's kinda weird, but I figured people would like to do something a little different. Dunno though because I haven't had any takers yet (shrugs). Glad ya dug it. Later on!

Hey mate,
Thanks, that was totally the effect I was going for. Almost meditative, ya know? (if you've never tried to before, do it, man, you'll love it). Anyways, glad ya dug it. Later on!

Prech that mate. Have you ever seen Beat Street? I kinda draw inspiration to make dif stuff because of the scene where he's showin his GF the way he mixes. And I was thinkin Fire trucks and such are pretty cool for audio templates. Glad ya dug it. Later on!

Thanks BPete,
That was the time that held the most influence on me getting into music stuff. Sure, there was the 90's boom, but that just served to reintroduce me to it.
As for Frankie, this is gonna sound so bad, but I don't own any of his stuff yet. Thanks for remindin me of him again. Now I gotta see if I can find somethin of his.
And House will always be my port of harbor. A place of refuge that I'll always readily return to. Glad it took ya back. Later on!

Haha, I kinda talked about it in the description. Just a different way to capture that whole 'creepy basement' vibe.
As for the Avatar, yep, Fisher-Price Record player. They don't make 'em anymore, ofcourse, but a thread was started a while back talking about the cool toys we had as kids and BAM- I remembered having one of these. So what with this being a music site and all using the image as my avatar just seemed so appropriate.
As for the track, well mate, it's funny that you mention that. Have you checked out the original yet (and the review I left Moke)? That's what I like to call 'super ironic'. I just took this song, lengthened it, and organized it's layout (added a buttload of effects too, haha).
Thanks for the other and I'm glad ya dug this one. Later on!
