Right. Quite a while ago I tried to get people on this messageboard to download my music, but people didn't really want to do so, claiming I was "spamming" the board. Well, I've been posting on here a while now and I want to try again. You all know me a bit better now, and I think I know some of you a bit better too. I would quite genuinely value your opinions regarding my music. So, please, go here: http://www.yorklabs.co.uk/manicminer/ and download my MP3s! Then, tell me what you think! The first track to try is "Dark", as that is the most complete track on there, then perhaps "Jeff", and then finally "Wharf Ebb". I have loads of other half-finished stuff, and if you like the stuff on my site I might be inspired to finish my other stuff and put it up on there too! I would also be quite interested in collaborating with someone if anyone's up for it. I've sort of arranged to collaborate with a couple of people on here before, but nothing's come of it, so only serious offers please! |

any of you lot on soulseek? i have a new song there called memories of earth. a slightly old school autechre, sad/happy song |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
well i downloaded wharf ebb. nice! the song obviously consists of 2 parts, which is nicely done, except that in the 2nd part nothing much happens imo!! otherwise real smooth! |

C'mon, more feedback please, people! Thanks Netlon. To be honest, Wharf Ebb is a bit of a mess and needs rearranging. I want to take the analogue synth bit out of the middle as I don't like it, and there are some bits that are too short and some bits too long. Try "Dark" for a more complete track. |

Can't, I'm out in 20 minutes and with connection as slow as this it'll take hours... tomorrow maybe |

Is anyone else going to give it a try then? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Hmm I'm d/ling 'dark' right now. Only 2.5k a sec?! Where is your server located and what type of connection is it running? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Now its going 3.14 k a sec. (BTW i have a cable modem) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

don't know why it's so slow the server is on a broadband connection in my friend's bedroom in england :) tell me what you think of the track when you've downloaded it! |

Manic Miner: I just finished the game you take your name (and avatar) from without using the level warp. Phew, they don't make 'em like that anymore (although they are planning to re-release it on the gameboy advance :) ) |

Not bad. Dark I think it was... yes..... problems....... it sounded quite rough. BUt thats actually ok, and could be a good thing too depending on who you are. Over all I liked the song, it was more than decent. The overpowering synth at the start is great too..... just nice. good work. ha.. now with the deal check out mine. http://www.zebox.com/reflex New song "Grey Shift To Six" Screw the people who hate this spam. Get a JOB SUCKERS. |

Ceri: It's a class game innit? Hey: download my tunes and tell me what you think mate! Reflex: Thanks man. Glad you like it and I value your opinion. I'm downloading your tune now and I'll tell you what I think in a few minutes. |
||||||||
|

Reflex, just listened to Grey Shift to Six: I like it. It sounds like it's building up to something though, so I reckon it would be a good opening track on an album or EP, building up to something faster or louder. It's atmospheric and I like the plodding nature of the beats. It reminds me of Dead Cities-era Future Sound of London, which is definitely a good thing. What did you use to make it? I'm going to give your other tracks a listen now..... |
||||||||

The intro to Her Soft Rain is VERY nice.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Right, listened to all of Her Soft Rain, and I really liked it! I love the long, atmospheric build-up, and I'm always a fan of dark, atmospheric strings, so I enjoyed those too. The electro beats were simple but very nice. And of course, the rain sample sets the scene even further. It's a good, dark, atmospheric track. I'm not too sure what it reminds me of, but I think it would be good as music to some kind of sinister film. Again, what did you use to make the track? I'm going to listen to your other track now! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

Able to Guide: I love the way it all starts to kick in at about 1:52. And those synth sounds that come in after 2 minutes or so are nice as well. Reflex, I think you're on the right lines with your music mate. Keep it up! But do tell me what you use to make your tunes, as I'm always interested in this. I think yours are some of the better pieces of music I've heard from people on this message board, as they're relatively accessible, whilst still being "leftfield". I'm not too keen on stuff that becomes so experimental that it's unlistenable. You're good! |
||||||||

I'm listening to them now. I like "Dark" good transitions whilst keeping the main rhythm going. Good minimal use of samples too. How long have you been making music & what do you use? Do you make your own levels for manicminer/jsw? Listening to wharfebb now... Don't like the intro, it makes a noise like undercooked vegetables do on your teeth when you bite them :) it's not my sort of music, but it does get better as the track goes on... Jeff is cool, nice beats to it reminds me of a track by ambrosia. |

Thanks Ceri Been making music for a few years now. At the moment I just use soft synths, although on some of my tracks there are samples from synths I've owned in the past: Juno 60, Prophecy, Trinity. All the beats are written with Fruity Loops. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
And I agree, Wharf Ebb is a bit of a dodgy track.......needs a bit of work. They all do really though :). I never finish stuff off - these are my most complete tracks, and at best I would say that these are 60% complete. I really need to work with somebody else, at least so that they could finish me sodding tracks! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I wouldn't mind helping finish them off :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Could I hear some of your stuff mate? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ceri, I've sent you an email.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Okay i just finished listening to Dark. Its not bad at all. I think the only thing it needs is a little more variation. Change up the beat and the note progression of that starting synth sound and you'll have an A+ song. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Hey Weatheredstoner :) Thanks for the feedback. I undestand what you mean about the beats, but what do you mean about the note progression? Just a slight variation, or a key change or something completely different? Thanks again mm |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Actually anything could work, its all up to you. You could have a nice climax 3/4 of the way through the song. All it takes is a simple keychange or adding some new notes. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
OK weatheredstoner - thanks mate..... I might try that. Reflex - any comment on your tracks? |
||||||||
|

Reflex? Ceri? |
