Hi xlt. Everybody's posting music. Here's mine. The first two tracks are new-ish. |

It sounds like unfinished demo's. "Grathwohl’s compositions often reflect his interests in language barriers, conventional wisdom, population trends, urban life, absurdist/dadaist philosophy, and objectivism theory. His musical interests are a hybrid of three main musical spectra: musical chance (aleatory), improvisation, and algorithmic/electronic composition." Is this a joke? Fancy words, but it doesn't explain why the ideas in the songs are so wafer thin that Lady Gaga would wear them as underwear. "Ghastly Fuck Tool" opens up kind of nice, but then just fades into nothing, and "Perish At Midnight" has its moments, but its nothing special either. I'm not impressed. I would never want to listen to this music again ever (Not saying its horrible, just saying its horribly bland). |

Finally, some criticism. Seriously, you have no idea how long it's taken to finally get a response like yours. If it were my guess, you call it thin due to the lack of melodic/harmonic variations... in which case, that's perfectly reasonable. But then again, that's only a guess. Thanks for at least taking the time and telling me what you actually think. |

The music finally started playing after all the myspace pictures, videos, gifs, popups and viruses finished loading. It made my titties itchy. |

Thank YOU! I've been subjected to some good constructive criticism on this board in my time, and i think you evolve from it. I have this one guy I know who always give me a good criticism of what I do musically, and he has helped me so much even though I hate him a little. I always get pissed off in the beginning when someone bashes my little babies, but 90% of the time I realise that the bashing was justified and I progress. I would like to elaborate on my gripes since your reaction was so positive. Positive things: Some of the sounds have a distinct timbre, which is essential if you want to create interesting electronic music. A good composition is the other thing, but you can do without (Can anyone here hum an Autechre track?). I said they sounded like unfinished demos, because there is no progression in the songs at all. I don’t know if it’s a conscious attempt to deconstruct music or something like that, but it doesn’t do anything for me. The songs start out, and you think “that’s alright I guess”, and then more and more elements are stripped away and you end up with an empty feeling inside. The whole ordeal just seems too elusive and uninspired to be interesting. As a challenge to yourself, try making a 7 minutes long track with evolving harmonies and a clear structure. “Ghastly Fuck Tool” has some promise; perhaps you should try and make it longer. Also, the presentation I read on myspace doesn’t really correspond with the music in any way I can hear. Consider how you present yourself! |

This music ( actually i'd rather call it sound design) would have a use perhaps not for listening to at home, but i can imagine it being used for art films/docs some interesting ideas in there, like those watery sounds possibly created using a hybrid synth like the green matrix in reaktor. I think you could maybe get more of a spacial feel by using detailed reverb over those synths and create more of a feeling of depth. cus this could open up and become more interesting. You could try improving your compression too that is all |

Thanks again for all the insight, guys! I tried a pretty radically different composition method this time... it's up on the MySpace page if you want to hear it... |

Hey fishface, this new Drunken Greenhouse one is fantastic. It's multilayered and well thought out. The crescendo in the middle is great, and then the sinister ride out... puts me in the mind of a devil movie like The Omen or Event Horizon. Keep at it. |

|
|
OK, FLAC it is. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
OK guys, tracks are up! |
||||||||

How did you make that FLAC? It crashed Winamp, so I decoded it in FLAC - there are 8 channels - left, right and 6 mono - and the sample rate is 44103?! demons run amuck in your fun-box |
||||||||

|
|
the flac is definitely fucked. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Sorry about that! I did use the standard FLAC libraries on my Linux box, but I definitely did fuck something up. Should have tested it first before I uploaded it! Anyway, here's the FLAC link, version 2.0! |
