on Silent tears by mudhoen
I don't think I've ever heard a sad electronic song! Music is the best medicine. Very well done! The title immediately made me think of this poem
'Silent Tears'

By Henry Kendall
What bitter sorrow courses down
Yon mourner’s faded cheek?
Those scalding drops betray a grief
Within, too full to speak.
Outspoken words cannot express
The pangs, the pains of years;
They’re ne’er so deep or eloquent
As are those silent tears.

Here is a wound that in the breast
Must canker, hid’n from sight;
Though all without seems sunny day,
Within ’Tis ever night.
Yet sometimes from this secret source
The gloomy truth appears;
The wind’s dark dungeon must have vent
If but in silent tears.

The world may deem from outward looks
That heart is hard and cold;
But oh! could they the mantle lift
What sorrows would be told!
Then, only then, the truth would show
Which most the bosom sears:
The pain portrayed by burning words
Or that by silent tears.

That is a very deep and nice poem which reflects (partly) the mood I am in right now.Poetry is a great art as well. Thank you very much for showing it to me.

It is very hard to make a sad electro track. It will be melancholic the most..:-)

on Catatonia by crucethus
Music is far better than any drug!! What a trip :p You're correct, I was staring at the wall wondering what the hell was happening. For a minute I thought someone put a little something in my coffee. What a description you gave to Promenade! That's the absolute best art, expressing stories through music/sound. You nailed it here.

on Resurrection by Byleth
Revenant - one who returns from death :D another creepy word for you. I heard a story about a guy that drank Draino to kill himself, he managed to destroy his stomache but survived. Everytime he ate he had to poop almost immediately after because the doctors removed his stomache and attached his intenstines to his esophagus. Very interesting story :p Was it warm in hell? Couple more weeks there and you could've skipped all this cold ;)
Byleth
Byleth replied 11th Feb 2016 - 10 years ago
nice and disgusting story you have here :P

Well, in hell is a bit too hot for me its why i do appreciate cold a bit.

Glad you seems to like my track.

Peace

p.s long time ago, you said you will buy hope you didn't forget :p just in case here is the website: https://byleth.bandcamp.com/

on Big Red Boat by DanGoldstein
Another nice pair up! The music represents the big boat floating on the calm sea while pushing forward on our way to work :D I do picture the early 1900's era riding the ferry to the factory for the day. What's the return trip sound like?

Thank you Wayne!

I feel the tune is a bit muddled there and there (like most of my works), but not so bad all in all.

on The Deep Dark by toastedavalanche
Here's that Cthulu track I mentioned https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6M_Bm7OTpTc If you're into metal a band called Catacombes does Lovecraft Cthulu mythos themed stuff \m/ I like the beeps, its like being in a yellow submarine in an octupuses garden deep beneath the sea :p Is that spongebob i see?

toastedavalanche replied 28th Jan 2016 - 10 years ago
Thanks for sharing Pkatz. It's very doomy, but I prefer your interpretation if I may say so. You have a better sense of atmosphere and progression.
And Spongebob got eaten by the monster. That will teach him for creeping about an octopuses garden. Filthy creature.

Now who doesn't love a song about the rain? :D With everything going on it makes me think of a city at night in a rain storm. Very cool BD

on Amnesia blue by FatalDecline
I like how it goes between the heavy and clean guitar, with the vocals drifting in and out eerily over the music.
FatalDecline
FatalDecline replied 14th Jan 2016 - 10 years ago
The guitar work on this song is just brutal perfection, Nicetones101 is a true metal shredder \m/. I am happy the atmosphere of the song worked as I intended :)

Thanks for listening !

on The Deep Dark by toastedavalanche
I listened to an audiobook 'Creatures of the Abyss' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K5oQQ2UtelY About aliens setting up an intergalatic trading post beneath the ocean. They say the ocean is the last great frontier on this planet as we've pretty much thoroughly explored everywhere else. I would not be at all surprised to find out about sea monsters down there. Cool concept :D I did 'The old one Awaketh' about Cthulu. Isn't The Doom that came to Saranth also about sea creatures?
toastedavalanche
toastedavalanche replied 12th Jan 2016 - 10 years ago
I do recall the track actually. I hadn't realized we were dancing (or moshing) around the same themes. My title is even similar to yours!
I do love the work of Lovecraft, he's the king of written dread. I haven't read Saranth, but I do love Shadow Over Innsmouth.
I'm glad you are as fascinated about the subject as I am, there's just so much you can do with it creatively

on The wild warrior by joecramer
I can see your Observer warriors dancing around a blazing fire in a ritual dance, surrounded by others on the djembes. Dan likes cannibals, they clubbed him a few years ago in Dark Ritual, then had him for dinner. Said he tasted like chicken. Maybe this is the same tribe. I need a better mic too! I don't have much noise problem as I record vocals/spoken word at work with no one around in a quiet enviroment. I use Izotope rx3 for noise removal. Audacity works too but I find it damages the audio. Sounds good though. I have a boiling murder that never got used, maybe the cannibals get a hold of you ;)
joecramer
joecramer replied 8th Jan 2016 - 10 years ago
Nice to know that you could see the observers dancing around :)
Mostly i ignore noise a lot but on vocals noise isnt easy to handle .... but maybe some day i have some better sutff .....

Like always Phatkatz- i enjoyed your comment
Thanks for your time

stay tuned

on Candles by toastedavalanche
Is this a black candle we're talking about? ;) Very cool. I wish I could sing. Strangling a cat and recording it would sound better than me trying!
toastedavalanche
toastedavalanche replied 8th Jan 2016 - 10 years ago
No black candle this time; just something a little positive for a change :p
And keep practicing with your voice. Mine is never as good as I want it to be. But just hum along to whatever you're writing and you might surprise yourself; you may have a style of voice that fits the song :)

Cheers,

TA

on Mechahydrodronuskullkulkan by Byleth
Love those choirs! The Umbrella corp.(fictional, from Resident Evil story) was making Zombies and monsters for bio weapons, for war. I like the concept. I just got Mayan death whistle for Kontakt I need to put to use. Sent you the incomplete track I started with your Mora choirs. Are you going to unleash this dangerous military weapon against the goat lovers called isis?
Byleth
Byleth replied 25th Dec 2015 - 10 years ago
thats true i had a lot of imagination for the choirs. I love how its pass to male from female at 0.55 min

And thanks for the Resident Evil reference I love those video games /movies

and maybe I will test this dangerous military weapon on isis. just to see what is the efficacy of Mecha...

I forgot to pm you about your track but I just wanted to say about how I love the piano

on Modern Disease by Spivkurl
I always picture you in a white lab coat with bubbling bottles of whatever, homemade electronic equipment all around your lab, wires strung all around, working away like a mad scientist experimenting with sound, warping and bending it in unimaginable ways all while laughing insanely :D Modern disease, great concept! Truth!! I love how original your music always is. Great to hear XD

Spivkurl replied 21st Jan 2016 - 10 years ago
Hey buddy, it's good to hear from you on this one! You're not far off in your impressions of my work spaces, except I turned in my lab coat when I got fired from the optical lab... (should have kept one!) Got some freakin cool gear on it's way currently, after a serious shopping seizure. Already got our music man Ray34 bass, which sounds killer through the old music man tube/SS hybrid amp we've got! Waiting to make any serious music until after the mercury retrograde, but things should get ugly after that. Appreciate you always listening and leaving your kind words!

on Just Let It Go - Instrumental - Vocal Ready by BradoSanz
I like this guy's teaching method, makes theory understandable. Note reading is bonus, just understand how and why stuff works is what matters. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6gHEIF0rT2w&list=PLB585CE43B02669C3 You already know quite a bit so learning this stuff is quite simple and inspires new stuff constantly! (how I got into playing lead guitar) Hey I need to try that now :D Definitely tailored for vocals, love acoustic guitar. I have a 3/4 scale decent student one but hoping to get a full sized one soon so I can record alot more acoustic stuff. The full sized I do have has a cracked neck and wont stay in tune :( Tell your brother quit slacking and get his vocal parts done! Very Nice :D

on i see the missiles fly feat Phatkatz by joecramer
Love the hammond organ playing! I was wondering what you used to get that sound. I was born in '77 but sometimes I think that's wrong hahaha I'm really a hippie. Just recorded something this morning, I'll send it and upload it here as is if anyone else wants to join in. Even used my black and white squire and with single pick ups and squire 4 string bass to keep it retro :D Yes, squires, since I see no point in spending outrageous amounts of money on a single guitar! I know we can't change the world alone but at least we can express our thoughts/feelings to the world and try and offer peace through music. Music brings people together. If we could all just embrace each others differences absolutely amazing things could be accomplished!
joecramer
joecramer replied 8th Dec 2015 - 10 years ago
To get that sound you need a bundle of two vst's
http://www.vstplanet.com/News/2012/NUBI_Plus - Hammond "like" organ
http://www.vstplanet.com/Effects/Modulation5.htm#Spiner - Leslie Cabinet

I call myself mister low tech and thats including instruments :)
But you are right, music works in a good way, mostly
So lets work together

Ok hippie77 :D i will wait for some extra special original retro guitar work :)

Reminds me of being a kid when the first gulf war started, my brother ran into my parents room and hid next to the bed scared to death that scud missles were falling on us, but we're in USA! I'd like to do more of these with you Joe :D Powerful concept, love the lyrics. I was listening to this at work tonight. I can't even imagine the fear those poor people in the war zone are suffering through, what a mess...

Send me some recorded stuff and i will see what i can do :)
