Right, I've got round to burning my first 02 CDs. They are both 6 track EPs, the first one has older, more primative songs; the second one has the first of my proper, "intelligent" songs... hence the name, "blueprint EP". I plan to put these on the net in a few days but for now here's my little guide:
Memory EP
1. Remembered [3:28] A simple cheesy dance song made in fruityloops, which transforms into an ambient song at the end. There's also a bit of experimentation.
Sounds like: most dance hits from around the early 90s.
2. Glass Buildings [4:57] Chilled out, ambient song. Nice and relaxing, although I constructed it entirely from samples found on the net.
Sounds like: Boards Of Canada - 'Kid For Today'.
3. Law & Order [2:51] My first attempt at IDM. Made in fruityloops, this song doesn't have a tune, and it sounds muffled throughout. It's crap but I made these EPs for my own benefit and to learn from my mistakes.
Sounds like: Radiohead - 'Idioteque'.
4. Interlude [1:52] Short ambient song, with distant guitar playing, weird noises in the background, and a big humming sound throughout.
Sounds like: A load of noise.
5. Forgotten [5:25] This is just loads of different sections of one song. It starts with ambient noises, a big sound fades in and then a beat and bassline comes in. The beat is echoed later on.
Sounds like: I have no idea.
6. Glass Buildings 02 [6:22] Starts as a reprise of glass buildings, but then turns into a big mental load of noise, finishing with animal noises.
Sounds like: Geonime - 'Glass Buildings'.
Blueprint EP
1. NIDM [3:36] If I was a signed artist releasing records, this would be a single. Upbeat, cheerful song with real guitar stumming and bassline (played by me), live drumming (played by John, thx m8) and a keyboardy notes made in fruityloops and stretched in Cakewalk. I'm proud of this song.
Sounds like: Lemon Jelly - 'The Staunton Lick'.
2. Magim [0:17] Short interlude. Sounds like: Modest Mouse - '3rd Planet' (I fucking sampled it).
3. Birdies ;) [2:20] An altered sample of my voice mixes with piano sounds and IDM beats.
Sounds like: Aphex Twin - 'To Cure A Weakling Child'.
4. Muwre [2:01] The song I submitted to R3PHL3X which he rejected because I insulted him. It's got no tune, just beats...
Sounds like: Something by Squarepusher.
5. Blueprint [4:30] Completely ambient, with heavy tones throughout... there's a tune which uncovers itself very..... slowly.....
Sounds like: Radiohead - 'Treefingers'.
6. Make A Wish [4:51] Hip-hop style song with a beat made in Fruityloops. Yes, this is an old song, but I think it's good enough to "make it" onto my good CD. Features many samples from the rubbish film 'Wishmaster' plus early guitar playing by me! The tempo keeps increasing.
Sounds like: Avalanches - 'Frontier Psychiatrist'.
So that was them. I'm glad I've done some CDs for now I feel like one of the "big boys".
