very much loving IDM and dark music (and therefore industrial), i must say this is a teriffic tune. not too fast that you lose control, but dense and dark enough that it doesnt lose that edge. how i would describe this is very mathematical, and like a super industrial version of crystal method. i must say that putting the break near the end is a bit suprising structurally, but then you came back with a different form of the drumbeat and it was very enjoyable. when you put the bassline in the first time, i very much enjoyed it, and amazingly awesome effects, id ask to remix this but ive got a bit on my plate here.
summary: much love, nothing not to like. keep the train agoing sir
Thanks for taking the time to write this review. Alltough this one is a further then 'first epsiode' it's also still UC, the parts & the first outlines are done. The final arangment will differ from this one to provide a better tension flow. For example the level of intensity (how much & what's going on in the track) goes down atm. So I can make some remix parts if you want just let me know what you want.
And the train is gone, on it's way to explore new territory and find an unknown destiny.
(warning:constructive critism)
do you want to know why this doesnt sound like a right and proper dubstep tune? its because it's weak, reminds me a bit of a mouse peeking out of its hole to see whats out there. YOU NEED MORE PUNCH!!! bring out the drumline more, i cant hear it at all. resample the bassline LIKE HECK before you turn it into a wobble. the frequency range is not very satisfied either, you absolutely need a sub-bass under that wobble, thats where you get all that bass from anyways. and the rest of the elements you add should compensate on the high part and in the breaks. for the builds to the drops, you should read up how to build tension, i believe there is some of that in the ambient logbook, basically, rising pitch builds tension, in the paraphrased words of jah, a drop should give you a bit of an adrenaline rush, dont overdo the wobble before then either, a release of tension should give people this, and thats where you put the huge bassline.
once again, this is constructive critisism, take it however you like, im just telling you what i hear
you got some awesome drum beats there, but the guitar is a bit lacking, i suggest you try string thing and string theory (theyre free too, just google their names with vst4free in the search). personally i like this better without the sample
edit: just goes to show you that its not a very good sample inthe first place, i suggest mda piano
Thanks for the review! I'm amazed that both people to comment on the melody so far have called in guitar, when it's actually piano (or at least so sayth the Beatmaker app) I play drums in real life, so I definitely have more of an undertanding of how they work than really anything to do with melody lines. Honestly if I could produce nothing but rhythms I'd be a happy camper. I'll check out both those programs, but my current computer... well is either an iphone or a really, really old mac laptop, so I might have to wait til i can scrape together the dough to buy something new. I actually just updated the track with the newest, most complete version, so I'd appriciate if you'd give it another listen, although honestly, the melody doesn't change a whole lot. Anyway, if you like it without samples this is definitely the version to check out... Thanks again!
art of noise, i'll have to look them up. Yeah i originally brought it back but thought it was sort of unfitting so took it out. Well thanks for the review fam
you got some pretty cool drumbeats going there, the depth of it makes it easy to listen to though it is relatively repetitive. and of course everything around it is good too, but i think youve already been told that. i should try doing something like this, itll probably be more like a nightmare than a dream the way most my tracks turn out though
I think John Lennon said that Bowie's song "Fame" was the greatest rock song of all time because of its repetition. I think it's a fine line though. Too repetitive and boredom creeps in, and this one is certainly walking that razors edge. I actually did this as a way to get over my annoyance with a series of evangelical rap posts, and in that it succeeded beyond my own expectations. Maybe "intent" is one of the keys to this kind of work. Thanks for the listen and review.
i would like to hear some more elements on top, maybe some strings or fx to mix it up and keep it interesting. nice changeups, maybe beef up the bass a little bit with a non wobble note (not subbass, im on headphones so i cant comment there). summary: good, but on the low side.
you deleted the other one, could have just updated it. i think i preffered it wordless though, though i probably shouldnt be saying much else in the tired state im in
good on the low levels, but it seems to be missing something. maybe the bassline is the melody, but it would be cool to hear something in the higher range too
Psycho glitch? sounds like a freeform job. definitly strange beyond compare (that i mean in a good way). i can literally imagine myself under the big top running up an infinite staircase.
just what i would have done here; for the very beginning, i wouldnt have those drum hits until after the acoustic kit came in. maybe have the full drum breakbeat (that the hit comes from) on for a bit longer at some point (cause its pretty awesome).
take what you will from my suggestions, but you have acheived your goal here
Hello, thanks for replying.
I see what you mean. If you wish the drum beat, and if you want it, please, send me you mail address at koomky@free.fr.

you sound like youll be doing some awesome ambient glitch IDM hybrids. you should listen to proem, your hitting very close to his style, and it might just inspire you
Getting good comments from you in this genre means a lot to me, because your the one that introduced glitch to me really. This song wouldn't exist if it wasn't for you and everyone else contributing to the glitch logbook, so thanks for that, and for the reviews you've given on this and ZyKoh!
Ste :)
that must have taken forever to sequence just right, good job there. the voices are really reminding me of gescom. this mostly sounds like you were playing around with sounds, the drums are in the background which is extremely unusual for the genre, sounds like you got reverb on it too. your doing very well in this genre
It appears I am doing well in this genre! Two reviews and two Favs aren't that bad :P
The voices are from Ray KoeFoed's acapella delicious waffles yum, and from Minettes in my hand. They are both too talented vocally for me, so I sliced them up.
I did put reverb on in parts, and I think I will probably bring the drums forwards. This took me a little over 4 hours to do, most of it was making the drumloop, a little time spent on the vocals and the rest arranging everything.
i think it was a little empty in the range around the 1:10 area, but that might be my making much use of walls of sound, otherwise elements are used very well. feels very reserved, like saving rage for the right moment, it would be very nice to have a release where you go crazy. the end is a nice change considering how abruptly most glitch songs end
someone was just talking about how there wasnt many dance and glitch combos. How about calling this one Pneumatic Screwdriver? the ambience really puts you in the mood, and i had my doubts about DBG, i find it very unweildy but very powerful when used right
I actually think Pneumatic Screwdriver is an awesome title, I may actually have to use that one! Glitch is a really fun genre to make, and it won't be so long before I do another glitch track! But I gotta finish this one first. And Dblue glitch is a bit generic unless used right.. I don't think I did too bad for a first go though. Still gotta get used to everything.
very nice there shaman, ambient glitch seems contradictory, but can be done. set the tone there with the drums, did well with the glitch fx, and then all the other elements only complimented the rest
that was very good my friend. the use of interesting sounds in interesting ways always grabs my attention immediatly. i would put this under techno or rave. that bass was very awesome, you should try making dubstep sometime with basses like that.
