I love it man... Very interesting 16 bit melodies...
all over the place! Almost carnival-ish... (in a good way!)
I say this lightheartedly, but I would have liked to see some craziness on the nonchalant melody part..
I really really loved the sfx in thingy at the beginning too.
A synth made up of that would be unreal!
You are in the right place if you wanna deepen your skill!
Very interresting melody and layout.. Which is DEEPLY appreciated over in these ears!
I am gonna take a note and come back and take a look at your waveform later..
I felt maybe some compression on yer vocs and maybe an EQ would pronounce them a bit better... but of course, a better mic is important.
(Do note that I am no expert or anything! I am just obsessed with sound! :)
I like it man.
It's gonna be very interesting to see how you develop as a producer and rapper!
Thanks man, im new to this so im taking all the advice i can bro! Im gonna leave the rapping alone for a minute till i get a better mic, but while i wait im going to try and hone my production skills.
A bit older one huh?
I need to go thru your expansive library and check 'em all out...
I like this! Most definitely got the Mario thingy happenin.
It's totally happy.. but .. the aggressive bass is also kinda cognitively interesting..
It's like the guitarsish and organ have a pensive quality and then the bass is just like BWAAAAAA lol
Really good stuff!
I felt a pad deuling on the half-time around the 3 minute mark / outro woulda been coolish..
Awesome!
:)
Yeah everything of mine is old right now, because my CD Burner died and I can't transfer anything to my internet computer... it's a little depressing.
But anyway, I'm really glad you liked this one. Yeah upon listening to this again, the bass is kind of funny, it just seemed like the best way to offset those organs. BWAAAA
Thanks for all your kind and helpful words! Your reviews are always a pleasure to receive!
Sorry for my last comment about levels.. I guess Shan has apparently integrated a -6db filter on the player.. at least to my mixer's VU meter.
(Probably for good reason too!)
Anyway.. I really really love this one, because not only does it completely unabashedly sound like n0mad23, but it's also most definitely the more melodic of your tracks I have been lucky to witness.
I am gonna have to rack my brain and my library of your work, and see if I can't find that Accordian sample.. I swore you threw that on this?
no.. wait.. sigh
It's been awhile hasn't it?
ANYWAY, this track is awesome.. there's such joy and .. dare I say, unconditional love in it.. it's strange..
You illicit strange things older brother.
Man I gotta come up to Montesano and sleep on your couch lol.
No, the levels are lower than usual on my P. Gabriel remix, no doubt about it.
This one...I think I've finally had it on pause long enough. I thought I was done with this version, but.... The synchronicity is as I write this, my daughter's playing the song I sampled on her trumpet upstairs! I'm taking that as a definite sign!
I love your ears, or more specifically, those places in your brain where you process sonic things. I tried to articulate that in the title - a kind of poem contained in a single phrase - "The Joy in Little Things - ode to a daughter's trumpet." As my current project is Music to have a Rebellion To, I figure it's direly important to offer up solutions as well as create agitation. Let's not switch the power structure, rather let's reinvent it altogether. To me, finding it in friends and family is a key. Real wealth, the kind that can't be plugged into any economic formula comes from things like this. Unconditional love - the source of our word "friend," was "freond" which literally translates to "free love." Power beyond comprehension.
Even if you're the only one who hears it as you've described, I've achieved total success here. Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou.
The accordion bit is in "Hybridity - A Subversive Dance." The beginning's probably going to annoy you, but you'll dig that track. I know own the vocal source (Deepest India) so you can probably expect more Sufi singing in songs from me!
I think Abraham Lincoln said that...
or it was Jesus.. .humnnn dunno lol
I like it man!
Definitely FEEL GOOD written all over this...
kinda weird because I am getting this cognitive disonance looking at your pic and then listening to this lol...
It's really great tho!
I love your drum work and the guitars, and subtle background stuff...
Bells kinda loud.. but not like bad loud .. lol.. again with the noticing stuff lol
You are hella talented man!
Keep this stuff up!
I like it!
Lol, Iam sure my mom borrowed the statement from someone of a great philosphy.Yeah the pic makes you click to see who would dress in this fasion? But it makes a statement in express thy self any way you feel fit and want to, Artistic freedom!!
Thank you for your kind words,got lots of rockin roll up my sleve,for Iam planing a whole differnt thing at year end.More beatle,Stones,chemical Romance type of songs with all the energy in the deph of the lyrics,melody and rythum of the song! should be alot of fun! thanks again for your kind words!
Anyway... I dig it!
Some things here and there I was kinda irked on.. but I really do like all the fundamental qualities of the track!
The strings are freaking awesome.
Serious CHILLS on the 3:00 mark.. I love how you kinda inertly dropped the flow down to half time for a moment.
On the pad, goin' "weee-ohhh-wahhh-o-wahhh" I kinda felt that shoulda been drenched in reverb so it was way out on the preferall side of the listeners ears.
Some of the pads just kinda irked me.. NOT in a bad way, but I always take it, like.. if something takes me out of that place of enjoying the music effortlessly, and I start to notice things, I just gotta say something? you know?
Awesome work!
I love the mood!
How'd you do the strings?!?
Great freaking job on those man!
Hey guy, thanks for stopping by and given a ear here, yeah, things dont allways go as planned,I allways going for ultra smoothness in the tracks, but that does not allways happen, and it get very challegaing the more creative you get,Iam fairly new to the digital world of recording and it is just a major blast. I grew up in Nyc with big recorders ,big stuidos and going for big sounds!
The digital world out it on my lap! Iam very excited about even being a part of it!! The strings came from here, where Iam not sure, but I know I edited them by spiting them up and fitting it to the hart of it! So many things I dont know how to get yet,such as fading in and out,speeding up differnet tracks and not the whole meter.things like this.! iam getting it! lol anyways, glad I could entertain your ears! ;)_ and thank you very very much for your review. Given me a better insight on making a better art piece!
i believe the technical genre is metal/glitchstep. niether glitch or dubstep are very melodic on their own. i think youll like irrelevant pudding though. thanks for the listen, this one is still unfinished though
Life and Love huh?
Totally fits the bill....
I was hearing delay on the Rhodes lead.. and fading into chaos...
Some drum variations.. but I know how it goes....
Everything is superb man...
I am really glad to meet your music MCHN.
Yea a slight delay on the Rhodes. It kinda changes with that time stretch on. Just a slight tweak on a preset but really made it a bit better. Yea, biggest weakness is my drums. Usually program up to 8 bars all with variations but I just almost always keep the same 1 bar loop. It's something since the beginning that I haven't broken my writing from. Gotta expand more on that. Thanks for the review again. Cheers :)
Of course I hear more and more stuff in my head over this, which is fun....
I really enjoyed this man!
It's dopeness on multiple facets.
There's a lot of room for eshars vocals or whatever Dwreck comes up with....
I dunno man, I wanna mess with this too!
hehe...
Totally feelin it.
Faved fer sure.
Thank you for the Download Butcher_Spanked... I am gonna mess around, and I will be sure to let you know if anything happens with the mix.
Like duping em up and maybe some verb from a chain?....
errr like how it sounds around 2:30 on.. the vocals really coalesced for me and sounded exceptional and fitted perfectly...
I won't nitpick, this is excellent work man!
I really dig it!
Definitely U2 thing happening like ImproveWithError mentioned....
Add some verb to the drums and some guitar would be tight..
Some long fading guitar chords one the bridge/chorus thing would be dope.
the reason I call for 'verb is cause there isn't enough personality on the drums.
Some velocity and hard work there would be dope.
I know how it goes, programing drums is a drag most times....
appreciate your suggestions.
i actually love composing/producing drums. this one is a loop, and i usually just let them lie as they are, since most of them come pretty mastered up. but reverb is definitely something i can add to the loop.
cheers for the listen and review! much appreciated...
This is awesome rhythm... War ... shoot man, I bet if you just had people CHANTING anything over this, you would have something amazing.
Like
Take LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE
or like ... lol ________________________....
this is totally a call and response track, you should do something hookish perhaps!?
I mean...
Just saying
I hear chanting people, and you should add that.
Seems a while since i wrote this one. I was working in the woods as a lumberjack last summer. There were many hornets nests about to beware of as i felled trees... this track was written during that time hence the name and vibe... I like it but will not be revisiting it... I wouldn't know where to start with bettering it, it's gonna be a great dj weapon when I start mp3 mixing in a few months... thanks for listening and downloading. sn76
Static X... but better....
wow...
dude...
You
ARE
ON
TO
SOMETHING.
I have tried alot to mix the ideals of techno and metal together.. and it's been ... a finicky process..
I know not to muck when it's not needed.
Mastering of course is no where near in your mind in this...
so
I just hear that build..
are you going to mix this with some live sampled drums?
or..
is it a segue like intro/outro thing?
or ...
I dunno man
Musically.. I hear the gates opening and the wrath being let loose...
kinda bummed it didn't happen lol
lemme know when you update!
sorry the gates didnt open for ya on this one...but when they do..all hell is going to break loose this i promise. Forget static-x, I love em, theyre a major influence on me yes but with this track i want to put them to shame. haha yes the gates of hell sounds a bit corny..the gates of endless possibilities i will try to open instead. I am going to take some more techno drum loops and mix them with some metal drum loops when it kicks in with some doubled up stagato guitar riffs add some synths lines to accomindate those guitar riffs. purposely going to make it chopy with but with an appropriate flow thats easy to listen to. "listen to static-x song "estego undead" think its spelled right you will get a commparison of what I have in mind. I want this to be a finished product that when someone listens to it whether like this kind of music or not they will either hate it or love it..either way they feel i know they will appreciate it..anyways I could typed less and told you with one word what im going to do
Man, you are a beast!
Just need to sharpen your teeth and you will be UNSTOPPABLE.
I love this.. it's like.. the fray when your brain is on the brink.
Nice.
It's like a lullaby.
More balance with the vocals and drums and music are in my mind.. it's sooo ARGHHH! lol
I dunno...
You obviously know what you are doing musically, but I just think you could benefit from some more balanced mixing frequency wise...
But then again....
It's awesome
...
I love it!
\m/ \m/
Yeah!
Again, reiterating the other points... if you aren't noticing clipping...
I am going to download and take a peak...
I am thinking it's a mixing thing....
Yeah,, this isn't clipping at all...
I was gonna say...
Are you working with low RAM? or an older Pentium 4 computer?
Dell?
HP?
or sumthin?
Still...
Talent and musicality is allll over this ...
You are epic.
I can't wait to see how you get better.
Drums are awesome!!!!
I think it's perhaps.. and this is just me thinking out loud right now.. is the bitrate and sample depths of loops?
I have heard similar things happening mixing 16 bit loops with 32 bit loops....
in that case your best bet would be to re-render everything together on the same bit depth and 441000, and then try another quick export.. that should fix the glitch that everyone is hearing on the pad.
I like your style.
I can't wait to hear your drum and bass!
(Deviantart.com?!?!?! too?!?!?!)
PS, let me know if it works, and repost this.. this is a really good piece of music.
as of matter of fact i think i was workin on low Ram...but really this is when i Had Fl Studio 8 DEMO at the time..(now i have Fl Studio 9 XXl Prouder Edition)..sssoo..really didnt know what was going on!
Elaine was tellin' me that there was a disparity between the original demo, and then your uptodate take.
Of course personally, I think you have made gold from grace with this...
I don't know why but the crows make me want to cry...
I remember about 2 years ago.. I was talking about how all of looperman was a murder of crows...
I should send you that track...
But
lets see.... Delay is the thing.. I mean...
I am not saying this as a Negative comment.. but I just wanted to muse on it...
"What would you do without delay?!"
Personally, I think I would do my damndest to emulate it with picking and instrumentation.. but I would love to hear a dry mix sometime for my own sick twisted pleasure...
Hey Sean, can you feel the change,...?
I need to come up and see you very soon.
This is one of the most immersible pieces of music I have ever enjoyed.
My only complaint is that I couldn't have been there.
EDIT for everyone confused reading this next part lol
Agreed! I remember you musing on that a bit!
I know for me personally, and you could most definitely agree, that there's a certain substance known to man that somehow initiates that dub/reggae/jam feel?
I know what you know what I am talking about!
I remember, ... I know this is kinda bleh, but listening to stuff like Black Flag, and the Bad Brains... Punk rock jam bands.. and I started to get the idea of it...
And actually funny enough Bob Marley came very late to me in my life... The whole Kingston thing.. I mean... It's just...
what do you do with someone that is putting smoke in the air?
You give them art!
I feel nothing for the cats that watch tv, eat, and sleep.
But the dub/reggae/feeling... It's TOTALLY about what you mentioned in our dialogue... the fact that the mixer board INITIALLY emulated that delay feel because it was recording the monitor sounds....
that split second delay.
became delay... crazy it wasn't feedback lol
I do want to add this song is perfect by the way.. the cow freaked me out and the knife thing...
The things we do for art ehh?
Delay?
Is it just a production technique?
or does it mirror something bigger within the art? (besides making segues sound badaaaasssss lol)
We could probably jive on this for hours.
You should be very proud. This is a piece of work I would show my kids kids (etc,etc)
How long did it take you to create?
or was it just pouring out of you?
Thanks for the timeliness of this review, Abe. Brilliant. I've been exchanging ideas with dungbeatl and jahknow recently about Dub, and this one's been lurking for like 6 months now...so it's on my mind.
What would I do without delay? Just today I was thinking about those moments in music where my soul rang like a bell. For example, when I was 15 I discovered Bob Marley on some late night first-gen cable show. I wept. At that moment I realized why I'd never be truly satisfied with 1970's Rock.
Naturally I sought out Reggae religiously thereafter! When I heard The Clash drawing from it, it only validated what I'd suspected. The rotten thing was I was in small town Eastern Wa and none of my friends wanted anything to do with it. The honesty and sincerity of that early stuff really spoke to me.
In this same time period I saw a documentary about the Kingston recording industry. A lot of the "studios" were in fact living rooms crowded with the musicians, and an engineer in the kitchen with a hole knocked in the wall separating the rooms with a sledgehammer. In these recording sessions, a chillum was always being passed between the musicians, and one was always smoking, and two would pause in playing during the passing.
But the music never stopped! And the smokier the space was, the more that proto-dub came into play. That delay sound on the upstroked guitar string was a total simulation, using what? more and more damping with each stroke of the pick. Same with the snare and rim shots - an echo sound made to speak to the state of consciousness furthering the manipulation of our sense of time.
Yeah, without delay I'd figure out some way to imitate it. Even with delay, I do it anyway and you can hear that in my playing of the genggongs. I do this a lot with the didgeridoo, too and do pseudo-echoes because I have to!
Very interesting and cool!
Been meaning to come and hear you out for a bit now...
I would have loved a water whistle on this! lol
It's such a collage of sounds...
at first I was like "wha? wha? wha? wha?"
and then I realized I was "wha?"ing on the down counts
and then I realized I was dancing
and then I realized I just found cigarette.
thanks!
By far my favorite part was the xylophone at the end...
that sound I wanted to bury my ears into.
Great job!
I will make sure to keep a look out for you future works of madness!

This is one of the most immersible pieces of music I have ever enjoyed.
My only complaint is that I couldn't have been there.
EDIT for everyone confused reading this next part lol
Agreed! I remember you musing on that a bit!
I know for me personally, and you could most definitely agree, that there's a certain substance known to man that somehow initiates that dub/reggae/jam feel?
I know what you know what I am talking about!
I remember, ... I know this is kinda bleh, but listening to stuff like Black Flag, and the Bad Brains... Punk rock jam bands.. and I started to get the idea of it...
And actually funny enough Bob Marley came very late to me in my life... The whole Kingston thing.. I mean... It's just...
what do you do with someone that is putting smoke in the air?
You give them art!
I feel nothing for the cats that watch tv, eat, and sleep.
But the dub/reggae/feeling... It's TOTALLY about what you mentioned in our dialogue... the fact that the mixer board INITIALLY emulated that delay feel because it was recording the monitor sounds....
that split second delay.
became delay... crazy it wasn't feedback lol
I do want to add this song is perfect by the way.. the cow freaked me out and the knife thing...
The things we do for art ehh?
Delay?
Is it just a production technique?
or does it mirror something bigger within the art? (besides making segues sound badaaaasssss lol)
We could probably jive on this for hours.
You should be very proud. This is a piece of work I would show my kids kids (etc,etc)
How long did it take you to create?
or was it just pouring out of you?
What would I do without delay? Just today I was thinking about those moments in music where my soul rang like a bell. For example, when I was 15 I discovered Bob Marley on some late night first-gen cable show. I wept. At that moment I realized why I'd never be truly satisfied with 1970's Rock.
Naturally I sought out Reggae religiously thereafter! When I heard The Clash drawing from it, it only validated what I'd suspected. The rotten thing was I was in small town Eastern Wa and none of my friends wanted anything to do with it. The honesty and sincerity of that early stuff really spoke to me.
In this same time period I saw a documentary about the Kingston recording industry. A lot of the "studios" were in fact living rooms crowded with the musicians, and an engineer in the kitchen with a hole knocked in the wall separating the rooms with a sledgehammer. In these recording sessions, a chillum was always being passed between the musicians, and one was always smoking, and two would pause in playing during the passing.
But the music never stopped! And the smokier the space was, the more that proto-dub came into play. That delay sound on the upstroked guitar string was a total simulation, using what? more and more damping with each stroke of the pick. Same with the snare and rim shots - an echo sound made to speak to the state of consciousness furthering the manipulation of our sense of time.
Yeah, without delay I'd figure out some way to imitate it. Even with delay, I do it anyway and you can hear that in my playing of the genggongs. I do this a lot with the didgeridoo, too and do pseudo-echoes because I have to!

Been meaning to come and hear you out for a bit now...
I would have loved a water whistle on this! lol
It's such a collage of sounds...
at first I was like "wha? wha? wha? wha?"
and then I realized I was "wha?"ing on the down counts
and then I realized I was dancing
and then I realized I just found cigarette.
thanks!
By far my favorite part was the xylophone at the end...
that sound I wanted to bury my ears into.
Great job!
I will make sure to keep a look out for you future works of madness!
:)
