Putrid - lol. Man, you've really found that dark ambient dubsteppy place with this one. You've brought some of the finest industrial sensibilities into this one, and they all work really well for creating the atmosphere. Great arrangement, and a really good mix.
Wow - BIG Sound! Love the textures (almost like a waterphone) and how they add to this. That fretless bass together with the drums are fantastic. Great stuff!
You three should definitely collaborate again - it's one of those cases where the sound exceeds the sum total of musicians. Every instrument (including Mack's vocals) carry the same longing in that way only the Blues can rise to.
Wow - I should piss you off more often (intentionally or otherwise) if you're going to transmute it into something like this (not really - joking). But, wow! This is my favorite from you hands down.
There is a subtle West African sensibility floating throughout this (whispers of Habib Koite's guitar) one that's absolutely gorgeous, especially in conjunction with your voice (honestly, I've had trouble interfacing with your music specifically because of autotune - Dude, you don't need it). They lyrics are both meaningful and powerful, and your delivery is fantastic.
Have to favorite this one, as it really is that good on so many levels.
Half of my friends are African so they must be rubbing off on me somehow! Haha! This is the first final vocal on my stuff up here, the autotune is usually something I put on my guide tracks for times sake.
Thank you for the kind words man, takes a big man to say something like that after the war of words we had last night. So much love and respect to you fam.
Just to let you know this song still remains in my list of top 20 songs of all time, from anywhere. It still brings tears to my eyes with every listen, and is in nearly all my playlists on my laptop.
thanks so much for your kind words. in return, i will tell you why i wrote this wong, without giving too much away.
someone i care about battled a disorder for many years. she found her soulmate, got married, and had the most beautiful little girl. she asked me once to write a song for the little girl, and seeing as we're on different continents, i came up with this.
i think she likes it as much as you.
i am so honoured that you like this song as much as you say.
thanks S :)
This is why collabs are so important - each brings a strength to the mix which creates an equation where the sum total exceeds the components. Kind of like "1 + 1 = 5" you know?
Good stuff. If the guitar was any less happening, this track wouldn't have really worked. I like this one a lot!
This is very cool for several reasons. The fusion of several different traditions WORKS. Seriously, what about orchestral/cinematic strings suggests any kind of compatibility with breakbeats? It's a bit like examining hydrogen and oxygen independently and somehow predicting water in their union.
I also love that it's a total subversion of the academic model (says the recovering English prof). You've taken a text based class (grapholectic or print tech) and done a project based on orality/aurality. See how cool that is?
I love your bass lines. I need to revisit your loops and look through these in particular. I'd have given you a 4.0 for this one - hope your teacher did!
Sorry mate, these weren't ones I uploaded (though I could email 'em to ya if ya wanted me to). Alright, as for the track- It's fun sometimes to just throw things together to see what they sound like. The strings were actually the 3rd element (4th thing) added to the song. And they worked like a charm oddly enough. As for college- eh, I'm currently torn. There are elements of it that I love and others that I had (the class number hints at one of them). All of that would best be saved for an email I suppose (so if interested, there ya go). Back to the song- glad ya dug it. Lates!
First I just have to apologize for having your tracks on my own back burner for so long. The sheer volume of music on this site gets really daunting for me at times and it sets up procrastination cycles that aren't very cool.
You have a good ear, and a good sense of timing. With what I'm hearing here, it's pretty obvious that if music keeps your interest you're going to have skills in another ten years that'll make us all jealous. Yeah, at 14 ten years sounds like a long time, but that's the nature of relativity. Keep at it - it's worth it.
Really impressive work here. I promise it won't be nearly so long before my next review!
You don't need to apologize, I looked at your songs because I was interested in different genres which I hadn't actually heard of before. I didn't know what dub was till I came to this site and I still don't fully understand it. 10 years does seem like a long time, for me its almost a lifetime, but there are two places that I'm going to get musical help from, here and my school, so thats one good thing.
I got no plans on going back to xbox gaming like I did before, and now I got airsoft off my hobbies, musics become my one and only interest.. apart from eating, drinking, sleeping and the occasional PC game like beat hazard, and even then its a music game.
Thanks for the review, I'll be glad to see more of your songs!
Had to respond again here. The thing I find really cool is how seamlessly you've integrated the vocals with a straight up reggae sound. It sounds natural somehow. Very impressive.
You're going to raise some eyebrows with this one my man.
Well you just keep getting better and better, don't you? In terms of constructive criticism, for a piece of ambient music I really can offer you nothing here. Absolutely beautiful, rewarding, fulfilling - add your own adjectives here. I simply love it when the percussion finally kicks in.
Great arrangement, separation between sounds, and a crispness that is an absolute delight. Added to faves!
"You shall pass through this forest after you bring us some Dubbery. Nice dubbery, too - well groomed and tastefully laid out."
I'm left thinking that if you blend enough influences and approaches you end up with something completely off on it's own. The influences are all here, but this stands outside of all.
That's provocative enough to warrant several listens! Nice one!
Reverb first, then delay fed into phasers? That thread was one of those inspired moments - many dots connected and I and I a mere agent in a Greater Will.
This is awesome. Dubbiness pushed into the yawning chasm of thee Abyss. Faved.
Very minimal, and experimental in sensibility. It reminds me of some of the Post-Industrial experiments of the early/mid 80's in this regard. Nocturnal Emissions or Zoviet France, maybe?
Have you played around with lloopp at all? I'm thinking you might dig the Max MSP environment, and it's freeware/copyleft ware.
Took me a minute to figure out how my previous review of Snoop had anything to do with this track. Great psychic tripping stunt there, my man! Might want to put a bracketed note in a review to say here's the line between that one and this?
I love Jazz (whatasurprise, aye?), and am really excited to hear you trying these flavors. You got bigger stones than me, my east coast bro! The idea intimidates the hell out of me!
Love that bass line, and brush strokes on the hh. Really caught something special here. Please shoot me a note, or post on the forum when you have this one done as I really look forward to hearing it. So much so in fact that I'm reserving adding it to faves just so I can get that final version.
Outstanding work here Victor. I'm truly impressed.
Ambient Glitch...I'd never considered this as a possibility, but hearing this it really makes sense as a sub-genre branch. And like Ambiance done well, you've really created a soundscape that creates what it attempts to represent. In other words, like a well constructed text or a landscape painting, the inherent meaning doesn't promote a whole lot of interpretation. It's there in the 'text'.
I'm with dungbeatl in this really does convey a sense of travel, and very specifically through the Sea of Naught. The glitchiness really captures the radio static of Cosmic Noise.
Makes me appreciate our own beautiful blue planet all the more.
Excellent production. Look forward to hearing more of your work.
Thanks so much for such a nice review! I'm glad you took the time to check this one.
I like to experiment and combine genres, as to me there's no limitations such as genre categorization in music making (as long as my ears don't protest!). So yeah ambient glitch is what came up here to give an idea in the description.
Glad you took the shuttle and felt the travel. If only more people could realize that we have a beautiful planet, maybe we'd stop destroying it.
A fine piece from another of the Fusion branches. The Latin foundation is really present, but it's got something else going on beyond that.
The reverse guitar is part of that, but equally so is the rising tone that sounds like a ringing Tibetan bowl. There's a soundscape going on here that transcends a single genre.
And planetjazzbass' presence makes it an even more glorious thing. Amazing work. Most certainly favorited.
This song makes me wish I had hips like a woman, because that's where the rhythm immediately moves to and entices.
I'm actually left quite speechless, even after two listens. So intelligent without alienating or leaving anyone behind. There's absolutely nothing I can offer constructive criticism for. I can offer up a fave however.
I'm greatly impressed by your creativity and skills, Minette.
Really like your breaks. You got a good sense of when things need to be punctuated or shifted into the next idea. The super-ampy drums (like on 7 straight shots of espresso) really contrast well with the minimalism of your keys and bass line. Especially that bassline.
