Thanks, C-Mo2, Very high praise from you. So this piece was not saved from the abyss that happened, I created it on the spot just to test out the new setup for the DAW and mastering software. I re-visited it to polish it up as it turned out to be a cool idea (Rita has a good point about sometimes the most benign idea can be incredible). Sometimes when everything goes to shit, the most incredible better situation can arise, and in this case, it did. I am right smack in the middle of creating a house album, and I think Apex will be apart of it. thanks as always.

Kraftwerk and DS (Giorgio Moroder) is just the begining. they inspired so much more to come, like this tune I quickly made which sits in the 2000's in style.
par exemple: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f-vH1zo-JjM
is the master of this style of house.
Electronic music keeps on re-inventing itself, but we owe Kraftwerk and Giorgio a huge debt of gratitude.
Thanks mate!

''practical but untrustworthy'' Might be the best synopsis I have ever recieved.

Doc Approves this message!

Thanks again. I run Kubuntu 20.10 with Plasma 5.24 and to run windows 8 I use Qemu as I have replaced Oracles Virtual box. it is much smoother. Linux takes a bit of patience. I have been using it since 2006 and have drifted back to KDE and Plasma and love the fact I can customize it to look amazing. but it can be some work, especially on the audio side. But it has given new life to this old laptop. In fact, I don't even use a hard drive, I am using USB drives. I agree with you about not having a plan can sometimes spur creativity. I like Eno's Oblique strategies in the studio. when stumped it is cool to draw a random card. Sometimes it will say, par exemple, ''express the color blue in music...'' To try that can sometimes make some really cool experimental sounds that can lead to ideas for the future and a more cohesive song with those new paradigms. Thank you as always for your kind and thoughtful words.

ùthanks Mate, a good time to be had by all, check out the final mix I re-did ehh?

Thanks, Heath. This was a pure DJ exercise so I could re-establish my VST automation on my DAW. The ending from 3:12 to 3:52 is more of a breakdown so a DJ could mix it into another tune but uses sounds played earlier in the tune. that lead at 1:36 was a cool lead and a nod to chip-tune. I am glad u liked it.

Thanks, Rita. It was frustrating, but I wanted to put the system back together in the way that would work best for me. I got rid of Windows 10 and put Windows 8 back on using a Qt-based VM system called Qemu. Runs so much smoother now. I wasn't planning on making a song, I had just wanted to re-create my VST plugins (I like automation) and as I was working it out, this little gem popped out. Making music is my release, my zen garden. My only loss was the original acid files, but I have all the waves and Mp3s. Glad u liked it.

Totally agree with yah, I most likely will remove that melody guitar some day and just bring it down to the chugg, you are spot on with that synopsis mate!

Thanks!

I just want to sleep in a little longer ehhÉ

You are correct in that I look forwards to creating modern Avant music and ideas, but I find the past useful as well as tying together something stronger musically sometimes. I really did not indulge in the grunge sound even though I was aware of it at the time. I never actually made a true grunge tune before this one. Rock ain't dead yet. The Europeans are keeping it going albeit with synths, but it´s alive.
¨I blame my rant on the involuntary emotional response your music caused¨ that's the best compliment when your music can hit someone emotionally.
Take care, thanks

Thanks for that. I like mixing the old and the new

I´m, not the first ehh?
2:20 ish is a cool transition for me with the fill and then I used an eighties noise gate effect on the drums to massively enhance the snare. 1:40 is just a moe breakdown from the intense drums. thanks mate

thanks mate! I was nostalgic. you are correct in that there are some modern mixing ideas, but the EQ is totally nineties.

Thanks, that is nice of you.

I was kind of humming a vocal idea in the car this morning, so please, be my guest and go for it.

Thank you very much.

thank you for that

Ahh, Boston. My fav city in the US. 544 Tremont st Addis Ababa had the best Ethiopean but sadly closed, or I remember Drinking in the Sam Adams brewpub in the Phoenix, while I was wearing an IHL Kc Blades Jersey, the bathroom was in the Hotel, and I distinctly laughed when the swanky couple walking behind me said. ¨He must be canadien¨. At the time I wasn´t but ironically now some 27 years later I am a Canadien having married one, and moved to Quebec. Artu, Italien, Redbones in Sommerville. Gawd I miss that Nawlins style BBQ! And maybe this song belongs at a ballgame, I will take two Fenway franks any day! I caught a game in 95 (Rangers-Bruins) at the old Gahden when Moss still grew on the ceiling in march. Thanks for checking in and don´t be a stranger. Boston people and Worcester people have been some of the kindest people I have encountered. I would gladly pay forward a Dunkin Donuts Coffee for yah mate!

Thank You!

Thank you for the nice words Mate.

Thanks, mate. So the story behind this is that A session bassist had the idea to cull some talent and produce for TV and places where licensed music was needed. He recruited a drummer from Vancouver, but I never met him nor spoke with him. the project fell to the wayside. This demo was my contribution and is entirely my composition. I forgot that it was never released 5 years ago and I thought it would be cool to share it now. I do not actively seek new projects as I am cool with this being a semi-pro hobby.

Thanks!

Thank You
