Neomorpheus

Thankyou for your kind remarks Neo.
It was head banging fun making it.
You know how you have to listen over and over and over .... foot stomping etc ... thanks fr commenting.

What it is, Mr. Neo!?!

I will be listening to your Sausalito song now. Gotta know.

Interesting you say Arabic. I never had any kind of intentions for that. I'll take it!

The wah was short because I was getting clips all over the place. Pedal's wah is a bit crackly. You can hear a few toward the end of the line. I had it go linger, but it was distracting to me. I'll be messing with pitch-shifed wahs a bit more now.

You can not dig it, for I have dug it thoroughly!

Evan

Thanks...
Looking for and found a sound of my own I think, can't get away
from sounding a like because of the gear...
But you don't have to play it like everyone else, nowhere near the
box...But I love the Pocket... :-)
As well the bass was not done by me, so I can't tinker with the main
track to much...Start trying to pull the bottom and you will pull
mud with it...sorta...
Time will tell if the final will be posted...

Peace...TG.

Hi Neomorpheus

I think it is more Dark Gloom Rock but i am not good in genres and i am really not into Rock and or Mestal at all :)

Last metal concert i enjoyed was somewhat around 1984 with
Corn and Ozzy and Iron Maiden and two others. They played in a big sports hall on two stages, so it was almost 7 hours in one go :)
Almost enough for a life time

This track wasn´t planed in any way, so i had no influence on the music at all. I just grab Phatkatz track and start working a bit on it. Maybe there is not much progression but i feel like it fits good to the overall feeling of the track. A little solo could be intressting but thats Phatkatz work :)

Thanks for your kind words. I bet Burt enjoys your "avant garde" same then me

stay tuned
joe

Thanks Neomorpheus. :)

No biggie on missing the debut. I've been out for a while too. I understand, life has shit planned that we don't!

" I enjoyed hearing your take on the genre"

I heard some shit one day that called itself "Deep Medi Dubstep." So I checked it out further. It was pretty cool. Super bass driven, and pretty mellow all around. A nice wide, dark atmospheric, minimal kind of deal. Right up my alley as far as electronic goes. (Metal is a whole different story). I liked it quite a bit, and when I started the tune, it kind of just naturally flowed, so I let it. My track isn't as quality as a lot of what I've heard, but, it'll do for now.

" ...but also opened a dimension portal to somewhere I definitely didn't want to explore or allow anything in from."

Yes. I know it well. It's called the inside of my head when left alone for too long.

Anyhow, I'm glad to see you back, and I'm glad you liked the track. There will definitely be more coming. Even with as busy and chaotic as it's been, I'm still finding time to be creative. Not much sometimes, but I make sure to keep doing it.

Thanks again, mister.

Take care.

How goes it?

"Sadly I've haven't spent much time here on the Loop over several months....Hoping to get back to frequency again....during my hiatus"

Not my business, but I hope everything is OK and things are going good again. Life can be such shit sometimes, that we really have to appreciate every second we're suckin in and blowin out air.

"encourage you to continue to blaze your own trail and don't put that much stock in what you get in terms of track feedback here or anywhere else. Its cool to hear everyone's take and all and a lot of people think its necessary to progress. I don't so much agree."

I've realized something recently. Since discovering this site, and posting tracks and getting feedback, I've been writing my music with the thought of the opinions of others. How something may be received. In that way, I feel I've lost something visceral. At the same time, I feel that it's made me more productive because of the desire to make something that others enjoy. It's a really good feeling having someone enjoy something you've made. I've been trying not to let that steer me, take more time with tracks, keep it enjoyable.

Drum software cash has yet to appear, (though I've been praying to the ghost of John Bohnam, and the deity known as Danny Carey, asking for the cash, but they seemed to have had something else going on at that moment).

Have a good one!

Evan

thank you Neo!

I only know the radio versio, which is linked in the forum maybe the original mix is more interesting, dunno. Tried my best in this case. Fixing things and watching videos (i thought I know how to use a compressor... HELL NO!!).

Thanks again to dropping by! Cheers!

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 shit"

That's what I aim for. Unless it's a chillout track. F'n total gently caressed ass shit, 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 shit.

"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 shit 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 shit 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 assholes in the forums like our buddy MosReQuest. What a Scat-Muncher! I hope a Box Jellyfish tries to fuck 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.

Evan

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.
cru

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!!
