the depths of my own mind continue to unearth more things i become constitutionally unable to post to xltronic. tonight: hey, there's a funny little mirror going on with wMw's tracks and my deep and complex relationship with the VST plugin "Synful Orchestra" in 2005. so, i'm just going to post them here as they become relevant for whatever reason. |

is a german word i made up to describe the specific sort of anxiety you get when it's 2006 and you're just learning to drive, and your sock is on wrong, and you don't know how to buy pants that fit, and it's all about to about to go the way that will go the way all the way down to peter molyneux. but, yes, translation is "the joy of exploding" mangled out of fahrengnugen, "the pleasure of driving too fast" |

i will say nothing about other than that it is about satan's corgi, and it has been covered on xlt before. one to three random postings, i'd say |
||||||||
|

from there we get off into bagel 9000, which is like taking the anxiety of platzengnugen and trying to do a vsnares song about a 90ft bagel on the highway that will make the listener tense up and steer their song into the guardrail. ideally. it's off-topic, so i'll log-offic |

Those are all great, did you compose them in 2005, or is "Synful Orchestra" some sort of automated melody maker or something? |
||||||||
|
|

|

yes, 2005 or 2006. or thereabouts. steinberg cubase sx -> nauseatingly dense maze of midi tracks -> Synful Orchestra VST plugin -> orchestra noises -> fx i started off just using Synful for strings in my synth-y tracks. i got more into its other sounds. i got lost in it. completely lost up my own butt doing these bizarre kinda celtic sorta midi sounding but then i'm using distortion and delay and i dunno what it is anymore ...the delay fed back on the distortion (like turning left in a minotaur maze) and i found my way out eventually. but, yes, deep in the core, there are these rather autistic things of 40+ midi tracks going into Synful and i was beyond even caring about reverb |

here is (off-topic) here is (further off-topic in the same direction) and here is (on-topic). timestamp says Feb 6, 2006 and i am inclined to trust that. |

ver 2 some guy was all "you stole that arpeggiator" and i was all "i believe you but whatever i stole it from, i didn't hear it before i stole it" i wasn't into self-generating structures yet |

ver8 2005-05-01 i sent it to dave wright (not breathing) over AIM and he was all "rhythm is a dancer" and i was all "rhythm is a dancer" and then he just exploded with incredulousness that how can i not know that, i just referenced it? pretty much all of our conversations were like this. come to think of it, maybe it was dave who told me i stole the arp in maybe. probably our best moment was when i ripped off "space woman" without hearing it and dave was agog with disbelief, go on soulseek right now, i have this folder shared "quality garlic soaked italian disco" and i have added to this folder but the name remains. when people tell me to throw out my mp3s and switch to pandora, i am agog with incredulousness 2006 will just keep flowing out if i let it. end post |

ver4 2005-11-19 this represented the peak of the average person's attention span that can be held by a chord progression repeating for five minutes and as such i used it as the leader track on my myspace throughout 2006 |

I like all of those. How do you make a link to something with an ip slash mp3 like that, does that mean it's on your "server" or something? Like you didn't even buy a domain name so just link to the computer address directly or whatever? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
just been waffling on what domain name to give it. it's a server, somewhere. perhaps it's in the free city of newark. it doesn't really exist; it's a virtual server inside a virtual machine designed to run lots of virtual servers, all this is inside a hypervisor, and from there we're all in an nsa panopticon. i draw a line, though, and say, "if the NSA wants my autistic VST music from 2005, well, god bless." |

feat. mc korg wavestation presets this is the song a guy i chatted with on AIM thought was referencing charlie - "space woman" and when it turned out it wasn't, it was intolerable to this other guy, or something, and that's how i first heard italo disco: i wrote this song in january 2005. |

(ver 4) ~ absolutely nauseating track done entirely with the korg polysix VST plugin patch "stab saw." my stage of doing all the things with this one thing was mercifully much briefer for this particular thing. i was on drugs. |

glass atrium was about travelling in a willy wonka glass elevator through an infinitely large glass atrium. i have no excuse for this. |

ver 5b ~ what things were like with the korg polysix VST before i got smacked out on stab saws. ver 0 ~ back off-topic again. vector: further off-topic than bagel 9000, not as off-topic as barn blaster 5000... but, yes, in the same direction as both of those. |

2006-04-16. oh, hey, i've tried acid twice now, but i haven't tried using cubase on acid. no strings. no polysix. just, uh... buffer override and a fixation on the way the dorm's metal girders stressed in the wind when i went out on the balcony. fourth and second, respectively, and this time we're introduced to another addiction: the novation v-station plugin. i think the preset is "unison 3," and i had three of them running until i lost patience. the first 1:43 was done in a spaced-out sitting and the rest was nursed through over the next whatever days. you can hear it shift gears rather abruptly. the novation v-station VST is funny because it's also a real synth -- novation k-station -- and a buddy of mine had one. so i've spent some inception limbo time with this plugin, and boom! here it is as a physical thing. they were unable to tear me from it for hours. later, we recorded a pink floyd box set called "this is awesome" and it was. there is more to this: the gorge, the tourettes man, the climb. but that's good for now. end post |

from my system we tangent off into hardware music; off topic. but i'll give you the flavor: . there's DTMF tones, underbody lighting on a lowrider, watching scarface on shrooms, etc. back on topic. ~ i thought this was one of the strings ones; it isn't really. linking because it was a track i made in a crabby misanthropic mood in an overly-serious manner that makes me facepalm at my 20yo self pretty hard. christ, bro, stop smoking weed and get out more |

2004-11-30. sounds like 9/10 Crystal VST and the rest is korg polysix stab saw preset. then of course you'll be starting to know the drum kits once you've been through a third of these |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ver 4 ~ being sick of my own drum kits was a new feeling, then, but i had the right direction out of there: make a new drum kit from my friend's metal band. i recorded a demo of 'em in exchange for it being sampler food. then, of course, Synful VST is all over |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
~ i am clearly attempting to rip off aegispolis or something. the drum rhythm is all wrong; i'm wincing a bit. but then my phil spector wall of vst comes in: oh, yes, at least i was good at stacking things. then the horse clop drums ruin it again. then the strings are nice. the whole thing is very mid-rangey and i didn't understand good bass then and now it's wandered off into my modal scale Synful VST noodling. i play these tracks back now and i can really, really hear the computer-ness... so, yes: bass is absent, analog synths sound nicer, i had this rhythm-deafness thing going on, but beyond that, it's pretty good |
||||||||
|

~ i meant to link this one to signeduptolol when i was ranting about falling sounds and i never did. and i never will. so there |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
~ more or less i saw some snow or leaves blowing in the wind and picking up all sorts of continuous helixes; then i went back to my acrid-smelling dorm room to do that with piano rolls. |

the mission: would make good videogame music like ratchet and clank or whatever glass atrium: entertaining but not one of my favorites. I have very low attention span, like 1 min would be good. field: nice echoy notes, I never mess with "vst plugins" or whatever to make the sound quality actually interesting/good partly because it feels like someone else did the main work/effort/credit and I'm just playing with that. i set ur cat on fire: really nice glitchybeat, see otto von schirach 8000 bc first 6 or so tracks for this taken to extremes halfya...: good n squaglgly yep |

Hi, thanks for putting my songs in the thread title of your songs, that's how all threads should be, you know show proper respect! Anyway this last song (said in sparkly brony voice) "summer of the real" is a very song indeed! I listened to it, it started at the beginning then went all the way to the end. That was what was promised, and it delivered! You could say the song is divided into various parts, like each tiny sound wave is its own song, so this is really like 80,000 songs all rolled into one. It could be the theme to opening up a new taco bell, or a graduation ceremony for dog training classes, or you could even listen to it as background love making music. It pretty much has limitless potential in all aspects of the meme o sphere. Ok it has ended, I would have written all these words all over your soundcloud, because the new world order knows music is the real language and "english" is this stupid nonsense they purposely feed to us through bad font, so they want to turn music into english and they're starting with soundcloud comments. |

all my old song threads formed sorting bins for the various species of tracks i was posting. i just posted the tracks in the bins. i was going to post the four tracks i posted last night, but i fell asleep before i got to it. when i awoke, i found you'd made a song thread. i nodded; figuring this was a good thing. i was about to bump those threads anyways, and yes, now i don't feel bad about dozing off on the matter anymore... ...but, i have to admit, i didn't think mohamed would get mad, or that you'd see mohamed get mad and figure you were supposed to get mad and thanks for listening to my song mad. |

Well I heard the rest of the ones in this thread, but I did it like 2 days ago so don't remember specific thoughts. But I had to access xltronic page 2 to bump it... which is kinda funny looking. |
