Thanks for listening and commenting. Apparently, you just don't like long songs. Which, a lot of mine are. Listen at you r own discretion, I guess.

Thanks again.
Take care.

What a cool trip I just went on. So much to absorb but it was fun. Quite a composition actually. Lots of textural elements and darker sounds and effects to get the listener to get sucked right into this track and be emotionally affected.

Great job telling a story too. Whether the song has lyrics or not, the composer still has to tell the lister what they are trying to convey. You've done that here, absolutely. Lots of good feedback as I read thru the comments, well deserved.

Cheers!

Thank you, Wayne. I appreciate the kind words.

I have always tried to achieve painting with sound. It hasn't always worked, but I'm glad to hear that it did in this case.

Thanks again.

Take care.

Whenever I grow a pair, and come out of the closet as the ##### Metal-head I am, this is the exact sound I want.
Excellent track
PEACE...

ValveDriver replied 9th Sep 2020 - 6 years ago
Do it!

But when you come out of the metal closet, you have to kick your way out. You can't just turn the knob and slip out. You have to kick that thing, and come out screaming, "I am Fookin' metal! Hear..my...wrath!!"

True story, bro. That's how it's done.

Thanks for stopping by and giving a listen and a comment. I appreciate. it.

Take care.

ValveDriver replied 6th Sep 2020 - 6 years ago
Thanks, man. I appreciate you taking the time to listen to some older work. I really like this one too.

As far as the direction I'm going, it's actually backwards. What I'm doing now is more like what I started with. These metal tunes are the offshoot. Even though I live, eat, and breathe metal since 1984, I still really enjoy making the electronic work.
I will have more metal to come, but until I can get a new laptop that can handle it, it had to be put on hold.

Thanks again, man. I truly appreciate it.
Take care.

If you dig DnB,You should check out my track "Labrynth Of The Absurd pt.II (Pain Has A Face)"

It's a nice dark little piece.

Aaron,

Pretty freaky stuff here bro. The bass lines in here are all Killer. The effects, transitions, breakdowns, tempo changes are very well done and the carnival bit is a perfect twisted element. Another extremely well produced and very fun track.

I got separated from my parents at a circus when I was little and luckily my mom saw me as I was wandering behind the Freakshow tent ! I could have ended up a carny or traumatized for life !

I'm smiling man, and when I do it's because something is just crazy good. But this, this is wicked good, so good you can't see my face, only my glistening teeth if that makes any sense lol..The title is a clever fit to the track. One of the most creative approach to dubstep, not just any dubstep, it's ValveDriverStep. Stellar production mate, you got 4 thumbs up from me ( that's including my thumb toes also lol). Thank you for sharing brother. Faved.

I can't say that I've ever received four thumb up from one person before. What an indelible first!

Maybe we should petition Mr. Looperman to add a genre to the list: ValveDriverStep. lol.

Thank you for the tri-fecta. A Listen, comment and fav. It's greatly appreciated!

Take care.

I'm glad you enjoyed it. It was kind of fun to make, too.

If by logo you mean my little pic in the corner there, that was made by the talented Neomorpheus. Too whom, I tip my hat.

Thanks again.

Cool, crazy track. Wish the carnival teaser in the intro was a hair longer. Great job making dubstep-esque sounds that I can listen to without destroying my ears or speakers, well mixed. I like all the changes.
ValveDriver
ValveDriver replied 21st Aug 2020 - 6 years ago
Thank you.
Orginally, there was another section before all of this that had more Barrel Organ in it. It was very carnival-like, but it didn't really fit with where I ended up going, and it would have made the whole thing too long. Typically, I'm alright with long songs, but when it's this fast paced and aggressive, even with the breakdown, it still becomes more of an aural assault.

Thanks for taking the time to listen and to comment. Much appreciated.

Not your stereotypical/Mainstream dubstep but nonetheless it sounds really good, You get a favorite from me. :)

I kinda don't do anything mainstream or stereotypical. If it is, then it wasn't intentional.

Either way, thanks again for the time to comment.

Wonderfully dark track, imbued with neo-gothic atmospheres. The production is really of the highest level, you have the distinct feeling of being transported within the song, completely immersed in the sound flow. The compositional balance is optimal and the sound effects of voices and background noises form a fascinating embroidery that completes the otherworldly mood of the piece. Another proof of your great mastery of sound matter.
Best wishes and see you soon

Pretty cinematic track, sounds like from the Bladerunner or a sci fi suspense movie. Plenty to keep me interested, good changes, intro, breaks... all cool. Some neat synth work, you seemed to really get what you were looking for for sounds to build the soundscape and create the feel you wanted.

Great job!

Cool, Intro, and then you go modern German Goth. I love it.
Your melody lines are like this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gpeuV_8imdI
Without the pop chorus. But you have a darker edge that makes this fun and deranged in a good way.
Quality work, excellent sound.
Your work seems very focused now.
All the Best

"Modern German Goth."

There's a genre/subgenre for everything now, isn't there?

I can see some similarities between this track and the AND ONE. I can't really say that I was influenced by this genre, though. I listened to this kind of music back in the late 90s/early 00s, but not much since.

"Your work seems very focused now."

I have been given the opportunity to have some free time with no job, no kids, and no responsibilities for about the last month. I've had PLENTY of time to focus on it. Not being caught up in the daily hustle and bustle has done wonders for my creativity.

Thanks for stoppin' by, mister!

Take care.

NOT SO DARK BUT SOMETHIN SINISTER ABOUT IT....COULD BE IN A BATMAN MOVIE AS LONG AS JACK IS BACK
ValveDriver
ValveDriver replied 7th Aug 2020 - 6 years ago
Thanks, man!

Honestly, I wasn't a fan of Jack as Joker. For my money, the only person that ever truly captured the full sociopath, chaos driven, psychotic essence of the Joker was Mark Hamill in the animated series that came out in he 90s. But, that's my opinion. ;)

Thanks for listening, and taking time to comment.
