HertzFidelity

I heard one of your songs and immediately I loved your sound, had to bookmark your tracks page so I could get around to listening to each one and reflecting upon it.

To be honest there is no definition layer wise to a complete song, an incomplete song would perhaps have issues in mastering which haven't been addressed yet but your songs are pure fidelity. To my ears it's a beautifully composed ambient/chill track.

I really like the concepts of your music, this song especially aspires to be groovy and relaxed. I also enjoy how you've crafted up some very basic melodies and utilized them uniquely to your chilled style.

You make great electronic tracks which combine components of many styles, makes the reach of your music far more dynamic for different audiences.

Same feeling bro, just changed from Pyromite to Hertz Fidelity and I hope to go professional once I'm out of the hole of misery called the HSC. All my tracks are just miserable at the moment as a result.

What happened to you? After playing your songs on my speaker at scout camps I had thousands of scouts wanting to hear more of your stuff, but there was a long, deafening silence emanating from your looperman profile. Need to get the word out that 7venthsense is now Recluse.

Also in your journey to become a professional artist, please do not lose your integrity in the composure of your music like Flume did. He makes too much ear porn now just to drive the marketing of his songs.

Ok, I was not aware of all the complex principles that looperman had in place for uploading loops. You need to have a very extensive understanding of various concepts in audio engineering.

The 24 hour upload time only counts for tracks, when uploading loops you can do heaps at a time but you need to be authorized first by the looperman admins.

Go to this section of the website to learn about uploading loops:

To be honest, I think your skills could be far better appreciated uploading loops for the looperman community until you get some more experience with track composition.

Seems you have a great ability to write music from scratch like you have with all your tracks, however it shouldn't take a month to master something like this, took me 2 days to compose the original track for "The Difference Engine" and for me mastering is a breeze because I know my DAW like the back of my hand.

Anyway if you don't mind I was intending for you to separate the layers of instruments like piano and synth before simply uploading them on looperman, emailing might be a pain because email servers don't like transferring larger files such as samples.

Actually the melody is quite nice, only issue is that by using the completed track of "The Difference Engine" the sounds have blended quite horribly since the mp3 you would have downloaded would have severe limitations in the augmentation of dynamics from the original track.

If you want you can upload the melody you added as a set of loops on looperman and then I can embed it into the original track where I can properly move around the other sounds to fit it in nicely. I can either upload or email the result so you can access it.

If you think this would be a nice idea then it would be preferred that the melody be separated by the instruments and dynamics. They need a little mastering too.

I believe the words of The Governator were "I will terminate global warming with pillars of flaming hydrogen and my many pending proposals. Stamp of approval, stamp of approval, stamp of approval".

He'll be back, hopefully as President.

But I'm curious to know what features you composed yourself because your use of dynamics is exceptional.

You just need to focus on variating the structure of your compositions so they don't sound mostly the same.

Ok, but everything audible from 1:16 to 2:16 excluding the percussion was part of that sample set sound for sound, exactly the same. I remember them very clearly because I would make hundreds of different combinations as songs, they were so terrible but fun.

So it's just a very strange coincidence to me that you made them all from scratch. You perhaps heard the sounds somewhere and then recreated them in this composition. You must have a "microphonic memory".

Starts out with a great 8 bit video game styled tune which is very fitting of the 80's theme. One thing that really strikes me is 1:16 where I hear a tune which was the first loop I ever worked with!

That electronic melody at 1:16 was part of a sample set in an application called Garage Band on the apple mac computers in my primary school. Playing with those tunes was what brought me into using Digital Audio Workstations such as the one I use now for windows called Mixcraft.

Even more of a coincidence is that same melody when I went looking for samples of it I came across looperman. Unfortunately I could never find those samples or even their name but I found an amazing music community.

So I thank you for allowing me to relive my journey in this musical composition.

Also I would really like to know what the hell those samples are, its been killing me for the past six years.

Mate! Sounds like a bloody Aussie gobbing out slurs, and it has a great effect on the song. It also sounds very frantic as if the melody and rhythm are fast paced to juxtapose the capital theme of "taking all my time".

So plenty of underlying concepts embedded in this track which is why I love it.

A bit more like pop music nowadays with the highly vocal lead. Could perhaps do with more variations in the melody to make it more interesting.

But a great concept and I reckon you should keep at developing it and give it some shine. I would love to add vocals but I can't sing (like most people unfortunately).

I find that the song is quite fine without lyrics. It's cool because in a way the LFO on the lead sort of speaks it's own tune.

But where did the stormy theme go? Might be a pain to master but I like a challenge and reckon a buildup of rain to a storm would be a cool concept for an electronic piece like this. Still an amazing composition.

Is that Alimpdanger's loop "Melanies Nature"? I've used it in one of my recent songs (which I can't upload due to mastering issues). But I like the dynamics you put it through, well done.

Dammit, I can't believe I can't delete my previous comment. Sorry for being such an ass. Since I downloaded the song and included it in playlist the sound has grown on me and quite frankly I just hear an amazing piece of music now.

A great sense of power put through by the synth as it opens into the chorus but I'm finding the unnatural sound effects quite distracting from the song. I wish that your songs were more abstract rather than spelling out concepts with a non melodic voice or sound effect.

I'd rather like to dissect the concepts myself from the melody, I've learnt this through musicology and it defines the fundamental aspects of human psychological response to music where people will subconsciously draw out abstract concepts in melodic tonality without the need of vocalized or objectified queues (such as a plane taking off). This freedom of interpretation is why we enjoy music.

If you take this comment to heart I hope to see some creations of yours delve more into abstract expression to produce some dazzling creations rather than intrusive sound effects.

A personal comment is that I'd love to have a version of this song without the sound effects.

A couple of steps through my raid of your songs and I'm finding a bit of pattern. I'm hearing that heavily side-chained pad very often and when listening to some of your songs in sequence it gets kind of repetitive.

Is this just a trait that you continually express in your music or are you oblivious to it? It would just be interesting to dissect this portion of your musical spirit.

Loving your stuff man, going through all of your songs and using them to test the bluetooth speaker I just built. Mainly because your songs are of such fine fidelity that they make a great basis for testing audio quality.

Sifting through the songs, loving them then I find this beauty, the girl singing was quite striking because her singing voice is exactly the same as a girl at my school.

Sounding great; the bluetooth speaker and of course your music. I am definitely making a playlist of your songs for when I take this speaker for a field test.

An exquisite array of electronic harmonies with an appropriate build up from the intro. Loved how the lead would fall into the background and then jut back in again during the chorus.

I did find however that the lack of variation in the harmonies made the song repetitive around half way through the choruses. I liked the distortion of the lead towards the end but it wasn't enough to stop the second chorus getting repetitive too.

Try splitting the song into more choruses with bridges in between where the harmonies fade and the main melody simplifies.

Hearing this makes me very reluctant to upload the song I made from those loops. It's also really coincidental that I've named mine "Forgiven" and it's about a very similar theme of forgiving the divide between love and misfortune.

Creative use of samples which helped support the theme of the song and those vocals were just so good in contrast with the surrounding harmonies, makes me wish I had vocals... and a singing voice for that matter.

I loved the variation of rhythms in the second verse and the buildup from the intro. The funky little outro was also a nice touch. A bit of deja vu though as the sidechained pads sounded very similar to the pads from your previous track "Finding You".

Gotta be a bit careful not to accidentally remake familiar parts from older songs in a new track. I sometimes accidentally use the same loop in two songs and when I realize it's often heartbreaking having to choose between them.

Most of all keep experimenting and try new things.

You've got a decent bunch of layers here. Try spreading them out for an intro and start with something simple. I came into music on the other end where I could layer loops to get great progressions but could never really make any of my own sounds.

This song features an exquisite array of rhythmic patterns which twine in gently around the powerful vocals. The buildup of the synths leads into the chorus nicely from each verse before the stereo width is sidechained over an array of harmonies ranging from piano's to various layers of synths. Sometimes felt like the depth of the stereo sidechain would give someone a headache though.

Altogether I find that Seventh has a very fluid sense to his music which makes it sound so powerful. Truly a musical artist.

Amazing thick and dense chords preceded by a nice juicy build up in the intro. The bright bell pad in the chorus contrast well with the dense chords of the leads. It's also cool how the density of the chords changes between the chorus and bridges adding amusing dynamics to the song.

Only problem would be how the darkness of the drums doesn't suit the brightness of the bell pad very well. In my opinion I just didn't like the scale of the lower level resonance that the bass drum put out.

I'd also like to know what this "porter Robinson Type Beat" refers to?

A very unique approach to Hip Hop by Cod2pac. This track displays an upbeat attitude in his music which I find very amusing.

I also love the array of harmonic patterns which intertwine with another array of rhythmic patterns throughout the song which give it real depth.

Nice to see the work of another young artist. I'm 16 now and started using Mixcraft when I was 12 and have always wanted to make tracks like this. Amazed also at how you wrote most of your own stuff. I've never gotten such clean bass quality from the shitey virtual instruments in Mixcraft so I've been restricted to using loops to make dubstep tracks. So I was just wondering what program you use to get an understanding of how it's done, thanks. Also you should think of getting some of your tracks up on Triple J Unearthed or Soundcloud to maybe get some more publicity.
