Neomorpheus

Hey Neomorpheus, good to hear from you on this track! There are logic chips involved in the construction of this synth, so I guess it could be classed as chiptune. I always think of chiptune as involving the sound generating chips from old games such as gameboy and atari stuff, but I think the way it is perceived is changing. I'm glad the melodies sound like they are evolving, because underneath it all it's pretty simple. I guess it's high pitched in a way, I think it's more the span of the harmonics, as the fundamental pitches are not all that high in relation to the human hearing spectrum. Put your hands in the air! Am I right?! Thank you for the listen and comment my friend!

Neo, how's things, man?

As much I've loved the Floyd comparisons, I have a hard time with it. I mean, it's like a 3rd grader saying his crayon drawing is similar to a DaVinci masterpiece. I think the main reason this came out so "Floydian" is because...
A)I've spent the last 35 years listening to them. It's to the point now where, really, I don't even need the albums anymore. They're so burned into my brain.
B)More specifically, I've spent the last 3 months listening to nothing BUT them. So, I guess it's pretty natural that it would bleed through, ya know?

Either way, that reward part of my brain is loving the fact that what I did is reminding people of my all time favorite band. I guess that just means I might actually be starting to learn something, huh?

Thanks for stopping by, man. I always appreciate your feedback.

Take care.

Word up, Texan metal bro.

Yeah, you've missed a bunch of my tracks in the last couple of months though I did slow down quite a bit for a while and had something like 6 weeks inbetween uploading sometime around October/November.

"F'n total kick ass #####"

That's what I aim for. Unless it's a chillout track. F'n total gently caressed ass #####, perhaps? Or maybe not.

I will now have to check out One foot Out The Door. Hope it doesn't sound too much like my intro. That would disappoint me. Don't actually listen to Van Halen at all. Never listened to a whole album.

" once you hit the drop its undoubtedly StaticNomad"

Yeah, then I'm in my chillout groove comfort zone - comes much more natually to me than heavy #####.

"5:00 which you really packed full of some tasty psychedelic guitar"

General consensus seems to be 5:17 is where it gets proper tasty. Harmonic wah stuff before is, sadly, only OK. Thought it would be much better.

"hoping you would revert back to that opening groove to end it"

Yeah, I thought many times about how I was going to return to it (and its triplet metal grooves) but it never seemed necessary. One problem is that I like to do something considerably different/enhanced when I bring a section back. Problem is that I'd kind of already covered everything in the first 1:20, which I see as a short masterpiece. Maybe it still would have been cool to bring it back in pretty much the same form again.

Maybe I will try making that happen as I'm still playing around with extending this and I've just this second had an idea as to how I might bring the intro back. Quite short track for me, eh?

"guess we all agree there isn't enough metal on here"

Yeah, it's not MetalMan or LooperShred or whatever.

I was confident you'd dig this and it seems you dug the ##### out of it. Good digging.

Hello Neomorpheus, how hangs it?

Thank you for the congratulations on the guitar. I'm still giddy about it. It's what I've wanted, so I really have no music needs at the moment. Odd feeling.

You seem to have found my weakness. Playing more than one note at a time. I've yet to mess with distorted tones or anything really chunky. Your description is very accurate. I will be working on rhythm in the future.

"I think StaticNomad was hinting this as well but maybe was a tad reluctant to get as blunt since you two are quite tight."

Mr. Nomad knows he can call my music total ##### and I'll still post another next week with no hard feelings. He knows I want total honesty, and I give it back, anything less is counter-productive. I've said when I don't like stuff he does, he's told me when he doesn't like what I do. That's what I appreciate, the "Not your best, sounds weak, needs some balls, did you copy the squeaks?, sounds cheesy, sounds fake, etc,etc.". I feel like those statements are the most helpful BECAUSE they hurt the pride a bit. It makes me want to fix it, and then never repeat that mistake.

"Just hope you understand where I'm coming from."

I do, and I appreciate it very much. I encourage criticism and ideas, just not ##### in the forums like our buddy MosReQuest. What a Scat-Muncher! I hope a Box Jellyfish tries to ##### his face, and a video of it goes on Youtube with a lot of tears and twitching up on the shore. It would be the same look as in the picture, even pointing to his face like the picture!

Anyway, here's to you. Have a good one, and thanks again.

All programmed
I called it texas destroyer because that's what I named the harmor synth I used for the bass ages ago xD
My naming conventions are a bit sporadic.

Yep, all made from scratch in NI Massive :D

Glad u enjoyed this was pure fun and expression musically for me to do.

Thank you I appreciate the feedback.

Thank you!

Thank you Neo! :D

I have done so on a few, but really it's just experimenting and what not. Thanks I really appreciate it!!

Yo, yo, yo. Glad you got down with the dopeness.

Yes, it’s a funny little guitar intro that I have no memory of playing and you don’t know what you’re going to get until the bass and drums properly enter. And then there are some fun, funk basslines.

“You pack so much into each of your tracks its unbelievable”

I know – sometimes I think if I cut them down a lot more, they would be more memorable as there’s just too much to remember (even for me, seriously). But then you’ve always got the fun of coming back to one of mine and being transported through so many different terrains and moods and sounds. I find I can sort of rediscover many of my longer tracks when I listen to them again after not having done so for many months.

“I really love that vox effect on the synth there at 3:25”

Yeah, my oldish Korg Z1 synth there. Should use that sort of sound a bit more, perhaps. Very exciting sort of instantly arresting sound that grabs you though it can easily become a bit cheesy if you don’t get it right.

“##### bass throughout”

Yes – I think it’s an unusual mix of funk bass guitar and synth bass. I think people tend to stick to one or the other in a single track but I’d say that this has distinctive basslines from both.

“also really dig those spacey sounding pads starting there around 4:15.”

Yes, it’s two pads and they’re playing a melody I find quite moving. And very far out. Pure ambient groove there. You could remove the bass and drums and it would still work fine. But I’m a bass and drums/groove obsessive so I like to keep them pumping.

“Theres never any boring rides with you my friend”

I find I have to keep myself interested throughout whilst making the track and don’t dare bring a part or section back unless I present it in a new way. That way, the track is constantly moving. The trick is making the transitions feel natural. Or at least desirable.

Thanks for your thoughts and congrats on your #####’ new slice of spooky dubsteppery.

thanks bro!

Thanks Neo! This was absolutely different for me. I've never made nor heard anything like this before. Rozen has a very different style which made this possible to make. I'm looking forward to working with him some more. Thank you again!

Thx, appreciate the listen. Yes, of course it's Blade Runner and you nailed the scene :) I love that movie. The visuals and the music are awesome.

Thank you Neo, I'm glad you liked it ;)

Thank you Neo and indeed it is glad you like it. There are those sounds that you mentioned and some subtle ones. I will actually let everyone know that the songs I do sound different in the car, on the tv, on the computer, and on an ipod. I wanted to actually create some trippy type of thing with what I do. I agree with you the last part is pretty nice. Thank you again for liking and listening. If you would like to help me out with next song I am open to create something unique and tells a story.

Thanks, mate!

I will try to to my best.
