Thank you, sir! I'm glad you enjoyed it. It's good to hear from you. I always look forward to hearing what you have to say.

"Dangerous synth work"

I like that. I think from now on, I may have to use it in my profiles and general descriptions of my music.

Danke, you take care, mister.

with all sincerity.

It's going to be awhile. Last night it was reported that Trump withdrew the federal officers from the city. But, a reliable insider source of mine says they didn't go anywhere, but to a new hiding spot. Thus, giving the masses the illusion of "Victory". Sadly, The People aren't able to see the militaristic strategics coming down on them. Meanwhile, all I can really do is sit back and watch it unfold.

I'm honored. Thank you, sir.

Marco, Hello

Thanks for stopping by.

I have heard of the Lovecraft Film Festival. Sadly, I've never been able to attend. My work schedule is quite unconventional and has never landed on a time that I could make it. Hopefully, with the changes in my own life right now, that will be something I can do in the future.

"Very often good things can arise from the darkest situations. "

This is so very true. About 5 years ago my life took a very dark turn. But, from it, came the greatest thing that could have happened. It's much like the seasons. Out of the darkest winters come the most colorful springs.

Take care, sir.
Aaron.

Marco, Hello.

To be honest with you, I forgot about this song! I made this one in a dark and difficult time in my life, and kind of just pushed it out of my memory with everything surrounding it. I had to go back and listen to it again.

I think, as far as the guitars go, there could be some adjusting. I may revisit this one for the mixing.

I think the blending of rock and electronic is more instinctual than a conscious effort. I've listened to rock and metal since I was a kid in the 70's, so it's become ingrained into how I hear music. Therefore, it comes through in my own creations, no mater which genre I work in. Which, honestly, is perfectly fine by me.

Marco, thank you for taking the time to go back through some of my older works. Not only to listen, but to comment as well. It's greatly appreciated.

Take care.
Aaron

I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thank you!

What you say is true, and it saddens me. What saddens me even more is the fact that the American people are so blinded by stars, stripes and bald eagles that they refuse to see that our freedoms are being taken away right in front of us.
Another thing that saddens me is the fact that while racial riots are undoubtedly a noble and necessary cause that must be fought for, they are being used as the doorway to allow in the new regime.
Funny thing is, Steve, back in the 90's , I started saying this is going to happen. But, ya know, who takes a 20 year old, metal head stoner seriously?
Hopefully, Wayne (theHumps) was correct, and Trump gets voted out and the bs will follow him out the door. But, really, I don't think this is a Trump thing. I think it's much deeper than than that. I think they just found themselves the perfect puppet willing to play the game.

Oh well. I guess it just means I will have more material to keep making more music. Which, really....isn't that what it's really all about?
Thank you for stopping by. I always look forward to hearing from you.
Take care.
Aaron

Wayne, thank you.

This track was definitely meant to capture the tension, anger and drive of the people. .Even though the protests are consolidated in one small area of Portland, you can definitely feel the tension all over the city. Personally, I agree with their cause, and if I didn't have kids to think about, I'd be right down there with them.

Thank you for taking the time to listen and comment. I always appreciate it.

Take care.
Aaron

I don't really care how they're sent home. Just get them out of my city.

Thanks. For listening.

Take care.

I'm glad you liked it. Although, I'm not entirely sure where the comedic element is. Maybe you mean the ridiculousness of Trump's exaggerations.

Either way. Thank you for listening and commenting.
Take care.
V.

Haha! Message received!

Thank you. I appreciate you taking the time to listen and comment. Especially with supportive and encouraging words.

Thank you again.
Take care

Thank you, sir.

"Bro-step". Even the name sounds ridiculous.

Well, man. I'm flattered that you enjoyed it so much. It's always good to hear that as an artist, my work has an impact on someone.

As far as the dark atmosphere, there was a time when I was known here for being "the dark one". I mean, no one ever called me that...thank god. But in reference to music, that's what I was associated with.

I don't know if you ever listened to the first Labyrinth Of The Absurd or not, but if you like this one as much as you do, you will probably like that one just as much.

Thank you again for your extremely kind words. It's encouraging.

Take care.

Hey man. Thanks for the trifecta! Listen, comment AND fav!

I'm glad you liked it. I agree that too many producers rely way too heavily on a limiter. Louder isn't always better. Unless you're at a Cannibal Corpse concert. Then it's pretty awesome. But as far as this kind of music goes...clipping is not an instrument!
If you haven't listened to Part 1, give it a whirl. It's different than this, but also very similar.
Thanks again, man. I truly appreciate it.

Take care.
V.
