My music: available. Opinions welcome!

Hello, everyone.
I finished my record. Some of the songs I was 14/15 when I
made, but it shows. :)
Some stuff I like. The only person who's ever heard my
music, apart from me, is flea. If anyone wants to check
some stuff out and give me some negative or positive
feedback, that'd be greatly appreciated.
My music

Thirteen all-new tracks of Spookyluke material. :) Again,
anything would be greatly appreciated--I won't ever post
about my music again, so this is a one-time thing. :)

Thanks in advance,
Luke

the stream option seems to be busted so I am d/l the last
track tells me it will be an hour..and I am on a pretty fast
connection

Oh yah--I forgot about that!
The stream option won't work. My friend from Boston hosts
my site and I thought I could create m3u playlists and have
users open them remotely, but it doesn't work! :(

I'm not sure if you'll like the last one--it borders on
ambient at the beginning. Something bonus for David Lynch
fans at the end though. :)

hmmm Sey is my most-recent and I kinda like it. It was my
first with FL3 :)
And Elation is pretty cool at points. :|

Thanks! ;)

hahahaha Thanks, diemax!
I kinda like axons, too. I think it's the first of my old
songs that was listenable over and over again.

Yah--I figure most won't like the last track.
It's something I like that reminds me of Blue Velvet :)

yeah it did...a bit..but the humming ambience is more of an
Eraserhead thing isn't it?

Points: 1955 Status: Lurker



I actually haven't seen Eraserhead yet! :(
I've heard it's nearly impossible to get in the U.S.
The sample at the end was from "blue velvet" and some of the
other sounds just reminded me of Frank, for some reason.
How good is eraserhead? I've heard it's terrifying, yah?

definately some unique shit... some of it seemed to get a
bit repetative at times like on sey and ascension... but
otherwise i'd say mostly good music... yeah

I mean I am pretty jaded was a janitor in the University
morgue for a bit so conventional horror isnt that horrifying
to me..but yeah Eraserhead is a pretty unnerving
experience..but not for the obvious reasons..from the start
Lynch sets a tone, landscape and especially pacing which is
so familiar and yet totally alien..all of the events seem to
be at odds and out of key..the characters speak with a lot
of deliberation and respond to situations in totally
unpredictable..sometimes totally in appreopriate ways..for
the viewer it's a matter of learning to adapt to an entirely
new universe with it's own logic and rationale which is what
makes it such a difficult viewing...reviewers keep calling
it dream logic but it's beyond that...I have never been able
to take it all in in one sitting..becomes a claustrophobic
experience...you need a breather after about half an
hour....

Thanks!
Yah--I don't like all the repetition. I'm trying to get
away from that more.
Thanks though!

Sounds cool!
I'd love to see as many Lynch films as possible. I thought
Blue Velvet was great. And Lost Highway I'm not sure I
understood fully.

just finished listening to Sey..and I kinda agree with
diemax...some very good sounds nice beats..but the main
melody line is a bit too repetitive and a tad annoying..it'
also a tad sparse..I wanted to hear more of that looped
machine noise..from the begining...

Elation is mush better at the start..sets a wonderfuly
creepy and ominous atmosphere..you are really good at these
sampled machine drones and groans but seem to be a bit shy
about using them..if I had samples and parts this good I
would turn them right up and let them take centre stage..I
much rather hear you playing, distorting and modifying them
rather than the piano line..which is once again mixed a bit
too loud and is a bit repetitive..I prefer it when the 808
picks up the same patterns...I can absolutely understand
where you are coming from..crossing over from Industrial to
IDM the biggest and most daunting difference is the
abundance of gorgous melodies in IDM..but dont feel
compelled to rush into them..start slow and small and have
little melodies buried as undercurrent under your stronger
points..i.e...samples vocals, noises signals etc..and slowly
bring them up to the forefront...autechre are masters at
this...

my opinion...anyway the first 52 seconds of Elation is one
of the best things I have heard from anyone here for a while
:)..more of that please...

you aren't meant to understand Lost Highway..that's the
whole point:)


 

offline Spookyluke from United States on 2002-05-08 03:50 [#00210312]
Points: 1955 Status: Lurker



Thanks, flea!
GOod suggestions!
I do the tracks differently--some I do like just a drum beat
in one pattern and a melody in another and combine them all
how I want in the playlist.
Some I do complete musical (?) phrases and then line them up
with the playlist.
So I try different things there.

I'll definitely be trying to learn from this! :D
Can I send you an zipped loop package when I finsih my next
one? That's probably quicker and easier than messing with
mp3s anyway!

hmm..just listened to Elation...I think I did somethig kinda
similar (I mean the begining) on a track called
sigver2+..it's on http://www.mp3.com/f_l_e_a

take a listen if you like...

it's all there in yer floops..just gotta tweak and find:)

Points: 1955 Status: Lurker



Yah--I think floops has got some good basic samples for
manipulating.
Something in one of the drumsynth kits sounds a lot like the
infamous "boop boop" in soft cell's tainted love ;)
yay! :D

hint..there are no samples being used for parts other than
the beats ;)

404?
Say--what's this granular synthesis? I was playing with it
and made a snare rush tonight.
I have to get to bed now though--near midnight!
See you later! Thanks again!
