I'm not sure who Miss Kittin is, but I'll check her out. I'm always up for learning new musicians. Thanks, man.
Take care.

It's always nice to hear that your work inspired someone. I'm honored that mine can do that for you, Thank you. Sincerely, man.

I'm assuming that's a compliment. If so, thank you.

I know what you mean about feeling like you're in trouble. I've been out of school for 30 something years and I still get that lump when I get called to the office at work.
I'll look into midi guitars and see if it's a good fit for me. Thanks for the suggestions. Both for the guitar and the track.
Take care.

Chris, how are ya, man?

Here's the thing with me and guitars. I have a guitar, I can knock out some decent riffs and ideas, but my actual playing ability is.....not good. So, I come up with the ideas on a live guitar, but then replicate everything with VST's in my tracks. that way they actually sound like it does in my head...not in my amp. I know it's a little disappointing to hear that they aren't live in my tracks, but at least they originated on one. That's gotta count for something, right?
Anyhow, I'm glad you liked this one, and thank you for such kind words.
Take care.

Frenz, hello.
I'm gad you liked it. Funny thing is, originally, it was a "bit" longer. By, like, 8 minutes. This was going to be the intro to a much larger piece. But once I got to rollin' on it, it didn't quite fit the track anymore, so I decided to just make it it's own piece.
Thank you for listening and commenting. I appreciate it greatly.
Take care.

Dan, hello.
Thank you for taking the time to listen and comment. Much appreciated.
Take care.

Thank you, Kay. This was one of those rare times where I wanted more than just raw aggression to come through. Your comment lets me know that I succeeded!
Take care.

Thanks, Paul. It always means a lot when you stop through, my friend.
I do enjoy the darker side of art and music. There's a particular beauty in the details that most people don't see because they turn away too fast. I love that shit. The details. The textures, the layers, the lines, cracks and crevices that make the bigger picture. That's where the true beauty is, man.

The fact that you could feel it in this one let's me know I'm doing something right.
Thanks again, Paul.
Take care.

Yup. I hear it now, too. That extra hold gives it a heightened element of tension. Good call. I went back in and changed it. Not only that, but I added a new element that I think helps put the period at the end of the sentence, so to speak.
Thank you for your suggestion, I wish more people would do that!
Let me know what you think of the new version.
Take care.

Hello PaperKup, First, thank you for listening and offering some feedback. But, I'm not entirely clear as to what you mean. Do you mean the final chord needs to be sustained longer, or do you mean the fadeout of the effects need to take longer before they go silent? or both? I'm totally open to suggestions on this. Ambient isn't my normal thing, so any input is good input.
Either way, thank you again for offering some critique. It's greatly appreciated.
Take care.

Hi Robin.
Thanks for taking a minute to listen and comment. I do appreciate it. Honestly, I look forward to the other two as well. Mainly because I haven't even started them yet. This was originally part of an intro to a big-ass metal track, but I liked it so much by itself, that I decided to just keep it as it's own piece.
Anyhow, thank you again, my friend.
Take care.
V.

Thank you, Glenn. Ambient isn't something I normally do. I've tried in the past, but they always end up becoming some kind of Metal or Industrial type track instead. I always feel the need to keep adding.
Thank you again. I truly appreciate you taking the time to listen and comment.
Take care.
V.

Thank you for listening.

Robin, sorry for the late reply. I didn't see that you had commented on this one.
Thank you for the kind words. I'm glad you liked it. Frenz did a good job with it.
Take care.
V.

Thank you.

Lu, it's good to hear from you, man. I'm glad you liked this one. It's a little bit of a step away from my normal shit. As far as the Berlin industrial vibes, or German underground...I have no idea what those sound like. But, by the end of this weekend I will!
Hey, thanks brother, for taking the time. It's always good to know you're still around.
Take care.
Aaron

I think, not having much listening experience under that whole rap/hiphop umbrella, it's hard for me to tell the differences between any of the sub-genres. I can hear some differences, but it all sounds so similar to me I can't really pinpoint what the differences are.
It's much like if I were to say, "here, listen to Sanguisugabogg, they're Slam, Then listen to Larcenia Roe, they're Deathcore. Then, listen to Bloodbath, they're deathmetal. Totally different, man" Meanwhile the average Joe is like, "Dude, they're all exactly the same." But since I've been submerged in Metal since the Cold War, I can tell the differences.
