! ! ! ! !

Yeah full version isn't out yet but it will be on both here and Soundcloud!

Thank you so much

and next time i'll put tracks in the right genre ,im just glad to hear it sound professional

Thank you! Yes this track has a lot of timing which in its own way makes it unique. I rushed it a little bit.

Hey Crucethus.

what a friendly comment. Nice to know that you believe it captures the Zeitgeist of a going down world :)
Cool that you think the vocals work with the music and the idea of the song. Sure it is dark cause it must be dark at the end of the world :)

stay tuned
joe

Thanks for your kind words! And believe me, if I could belt out one of those screams I would

Thanks!

I was actually considering that cru :D Definitely, our next hard rock song will have a cool solo haha. For now, I was just getting my toes wet haha.

Yes, now I see it's much more trippy and quirky than actual mainstream 'chillout'. Just tried to 'harmonize' the acapella but it was probably too short so I started loading more loops and usied much of sound filtering and like.
Overall it came out quite experimental but I am really happy you enjoyed listening to this unusual piece. Thanks! Alex

haha ya it did

YO yo ,

Thank you , I ll do my best .
I think it works...

Artcore is heavy stuff..
Made bij the Ruffneck label from The Netherlands.

Thank you Steve! I am sorry for such delay in replying on this one, I do not know if I will be able to manage all my unanswered posts ever. I am really happy you liked this final remix. I am aware that my dnb sound is quite different from the usual lm dnb. That's why people say it is a chilled dnb. They simply need to have lots of compressions and limitings to be able to hear. The way I hear is determined by my former musical education, here you can find my earlier organ recording and get the idea: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=92jrrSfwWNM
At the moment I do not have time for practising the real instruments at all but looperman helped me so much in keeping the creative process going. I am thankful for your openness and simply allowing your stuff being remixed and developed in any unexpected way.

All the best to you, Alex

Hello again, thanks for the reply! I think you have linked to that first one before on one of my tracks, and while it is a good song, top of the pops kind of makes me cringe with the poor lip sync work and all. That uvox one you linked to is pretty cool though! I can see where you get the comparison, and I think it pleases me, as I've been trying to get closer to a "one man band" ability in my music... and since John Foxx had bands to do it all for him, it's a compliment. It's funny, I really dig a lot of Eno's solo stuff, but when he got his hands in other people's work it wasn't usually my thing. My favorites are "Another Green World" and "Nerve Net", I used to listen to those SO MUCH! I think the main collaboration of his that I like is David Bowie's "Lodger", another that I listened to quite a bit. I'm not much for ambient listening, so his more ambient world music influenced stuff was not my preference. Anyway, thank you for the comment and continuing conversation!

Hey there! You have mentioned John Foxx before when commenting on my tracks, and I take it as a positive comparison. I really haven't listened to much for full devo albums, so you know... I do enjoy some of Eno's old work. That's very funny he wanted them to go all maximal like that! Thanks for taking a listen!

Sorry to hear that, hope you feel better soon

thanks cru. it was devilish making that glass bow settle down. i think i used 5 EQ plug-ins! nevertheless - yea - i came to like that sound in this. thanks very much for the thumbs up. appreciate. regards. Dan

Yo. Is Crucehole an ass reference or the type of hole in the ground that a Crucethus usually lives in? Or the type of cartoon hole made when he is thrown through a window?

Was waiting for your review, partly cos I thought this might be one of your favourite ever tracks of mine.

That first Rhodes part was the foundation of the track and I vary it for a while before returning to it in the second (uptempo) half (with further variations).

I will go back and check the bass levels as I have to return anyway to remove those final two "export error" notes.

Yes, the synth sounds are magic - Nomadgic. My own unique brand of magic and not to be confused with no magic. I try to sprinkle a little Nomadgic on all my tracks. Alas, sometimes it does not stick.

No idea why 1:50ish has brassy synth sound but I hear it now you and Midisparks have mentioned it. Just a preset I dialled up and modified slightly.

No resonator guitar in that rocking section, just regular electric. Resonator only in one section - slide solo on 7:02.

4:10 I can hear no synth sax. Lead part there is the arppeggiated, bowed violin so not sure how you're hearing sax. There's mega evil synth sax in my unfinished jazz metal track so you'll like that.

Chime arpegg is cool though I don't read or watch any Harry Potter but can imagine what you mean.

3:40-4:10 is some mega chill funk. Check the high bass g.

"Now I am hand slapping the drums"

What else would you slap them with? Dick gets painful after an hour or so when I do it.

5:45 approaching "a cool zone" with new bassline that reminds me strongly of New Order's fantastic Blue Monday. Such a clever and timeless track.

I did listen to Is Your Love Strong Enough (no, thanks for asking) when you sent me the link. Don't know why the mixing here is like it.

9:20 is a freeze stutter effect I have used occasionally in many tracks, Into The Out There being a good example.

Thanks for the words. Now retreat back to your hole, slap your drums, polish your MS-20 and caress its wah porn joystick.

Howdy!

Thanks for the kind words. However,............

"nice synths btw"

No synths except the drums are MIDI. Anything synthy is the distortions I used together. A Fuzz Face and a Big Muff Pi.

Thanks again!

Evan

Thanks cru - comments appreciated!

Hi Steve!
Well, I still didn't lower the volume which I really should have and am going too because if I turn the limiter off, the master volume thing turns all red...the good thing is that I now actually understand why and so forth. So going to fix that later.

About the very cool new effects in Ableton - I turned some of them off now and tweaked some others. I'm hearing you there but Im still a little too found of them to hold back all the way. But maybe at the next tweaking.

About your old stash of practice songs - this Looperman account with a maximum of 50 songs (I'm on my 49th now, some of them are hidden) is my stash of practice songs I guess. Too bad people have to hear them!! =D
But I actually don't post ALL of them, I have an other stash in my daw that never will see the light off day.
Well, anyway thanks for the feedback and for sharing your thoughts Steve and I hope all is well with you.

Take care!
/ SJ =)
