The song is "Whiet Zeiela" at my mp3.com site (mp3.com/artificialselection). I used a new technique and I want to know if it sounds good to someone else.
Actually, I only want to be showered with praise. Feel free to use words like "genius, unparallel, superior", etc. you know, just to make me feel good. On second thought be honest. Thanks.

hey, not too bad..i like how it sort of organizes itself out of chaos towards the middle. what kind of equipment did you use to make that? and what was the new technique you were talking about?
ok everyone..i hate to to this but since we're on the topic of making music....i need some help. i uploaded an unfinished track to my ampcast site and was looking for some imput as to where i could go with it,
what does/doesn't work, etc. the site is: http://www.ampcast.com/wayout the track is "amb 1" i know the sound quality seems a bit shitty...i'm working on that
thanks for your help. and keep up the good work artificialselection.

Wait, people actually listened. This can't be right... I use only modplug tracker for all my songs and my "new technique" is probably just something obvious everyone else knows: instead of using itty bitty wav files (little drum sounds etc.), use an entire song as a wav file with other huge wav files. I think I could use this technique better than this example song. I kind of understand when people don't like my music. My equipment is crap too. Thanks all, as a reward for bothering to listen to a nobody (any behavior that is rewarded will be repeated) here are some marshmellows for all of you.
-------0 -------0 -------0 -------0
And naturally since everyone else seeks to promote their own music, I'll be happy *shudders* to listen to any stuff I havn't heard already. (hmmm... if I listen to M's music, maybe he'll listen to MINE... heh heh heh.) No, seriously though. And I'll listen to yours, wayout, too. Also just repost any links here, because it would be hard to go back and find them elsewhere if you already posted them.

Hey mMWMWMWMwmmwmwMWthe sounds of one of me favorite freeware noisemakers GranuLab, realtime granular synthesis for Windows, ye gods! Definitely give it a looky at
http://hem.passagen.se/rasmuse/Granny.htm
Fun stuff. Can't say much about the quality o' the tune since I only listened to it at 24kbps but it reminds me a bit o "Logon Rock Witch" from of course the RDJ album which I heard today a bit. Got the same type of (pardon the inference) quasi-cheesy organ tone and rattly metal percussion, esp. second half. Ever consider maybe taking that warped wav sound and chopping it up again in Cool Edit or what not to repeat the more catchy snatches o' melody? Might take you firmly out of the ol' "Experimental" category but I find that's always a better place to be anyway, esp on bloody mp3.commer. Know what I mean?

WAyout: This song really impressed me as is. I just bought Proem, Jake Mandrell, Delarosa and asora, and I think your music is just as good. For the first 1:30, I was about ready to say that the warped voice melody sounds were good, but kill all the percussion because they sucked. But in hindsight, I see that the song was just kind of flickering before erupting in flames of crazy sounds and excellent percussion, especially at about 1:30. It sounds like you used that "huge wav file" technique, like made a bunch of different patterns that are all similar and faded them in and out of eachother in random ways. It's really good the way it is, kind of like casual doodles on paper, nothing specific for too long, just kind of doing what it wants when it wants. Very excellent. Also I like the volume level changes.

wow, thanks heh, you pretty much described the technique i used too. most of the "drill n bass" beats towards the end are the preset drum loops that came with my program variated, mixed and chopped up at random. your "big wav." technique sounds pretty interesting and kinda reminds me a lot of what i've been doing.
what proem did you get? i just got negativ a few days ago...beautiful...but im not sure if i like it as much as burn plate no.1. coincidentally i also got scott herren's savath+savalas disc in the same order...(scott H. = delarosa+asora)

hagsjakdahgweqr: Thanks for that link, I'll have to check it out. And that idea about cutting up a long wav sounds interesting. (And thanks for listening.) I listened to 1024. Hmmm... the best thing about it was the element of surprise. I didn't expect those drums at all and they made it better. The melody sounds pretty good, but the longer piece added on top was sort of awkward. The drums weren't really all that great, they tried to be intricate and complex, but can't match some of the other people's luny songs these days in that department. The whole song had a feeling that it was made on a freeware software music making program. It was a good I guess, not spectacular or particularly striking/ eye catching (ear catching).

Wayout: I have both of the proems you mentioned too. I just found out about those artists I mentioned so I can't really say whether it is good or not, because I havn't had a thorough listen. But so far it is all great. I'm glad to find you're the second person (after od) to tell me you heard of and own these cd's. Where did you find out about these? Don't you think they are undeservingly unpopular? It took me forever to find out that these artists even exist. I buy them all on forcedexposure.com. Where do you get them- same spot? The one that I definately suggest most so far from that fantastic site is Crunch's "1". Have you heard it? It does some totally weird and extremely tediously constructed stuff, one song makes a great sound like rice crispies popping in each ear. It's the only album I've heard to give autechre's lp5/ep7 some real competition. Here's a list some other guy gave me (who suggested that site to me) of albums I'm gradually buying one by one and finding I really like them all:
crunch "1" delarosa & asora "agony 1" while "even" proem "burn plate 1" negativ" michael fakesch "marion arovane "tides" "atol scrap" jake mandell "parallel processes" matmos "a chance to cut is a chance to cure" syndrome sense tim tetlow phonem
Do you have any other suggestions? Later.

yeah, i agree that proem definately deserves more recognition. i first heard of him on one of the warp forums and bought "negativ" at the warpmart (which by the way is very good, you should check it out) i came across burn plate no.1 in the used electronic section at a local store..which was very surprising.
as far as recomendations go...i would suggest: gimmik- very much like proem..really lush melodic synths over glitchy autechre-esque beats
prefuse73- same guy as delarosa+asora reminds me a lot of dj shadow...only warpier (severely chopped up vocals, some slightly glitchy beats)
chris clark- if youre a nig warp fan like myself you may have already heard of him...if not definately check him out.
he's kinda hard to describe...just really beautiful, sometimes ominous electronic music, often has the same feel as a lot of aphex's stuff or maybe µ-ziq's older stuff.
yee-king- sounds a bit like a mix between aphex + squarepusher i guess
pretty good regardless jega- you may already know him too, i have too albums by him..the older one "spectrum" is a bit more drill n bass oriented while the newer one "geometry"
has sort of a darker, glitchy electro sound datach'i- really chopped up, glitchy drill n bass...seems to have a sick sense of humor too.
some other artists i suggest but either cant or dont feel like giving good descriptions of right now are:
lexaunculpt bochum welt boards of canada brothomstates jamie liddell marumari plastiq phantom richard devine plaid two lone swordsmen vladislav delay monolake cant think of anymore at the moment..hope this helps!

Well it seems like people are really raving about my music! "Genius", I believe it was called. "Unparrallel", if I'm not mistaken was also mentioned... And (if I remember right) I think it was even called "superior". I know, I know, I mean it's DAMN good but I'm a bit modest here. It's not THAT good even though it IS really really good. Actually I agree.

oh btw, proem isn't on warp, his label is merck i think, the warpmart just sells negativ (along with many other non-warp releases, you should check it out if you haven't already, pretty reliable service too)

wayout: You can buy crunch's "1" at forcedexposure.com and there's a little review but no sound samples. It really good, potatoe chip crunchy sounds, rice crispies popping right in your ear, weird panning effects to make it seem like the sound is all wobbly or in some strange alien tone, constant tweaking. He uses sound quality like melody in some songs, constantly changing it, making the song turn different colors. speaking of funkstorung, what is a good album by them especially something organic/complex like lp5 ish?
I probably agree with your funny reviews most, e~e-()~e. It does quite sound like elevator music now that I think about it, good description. Thanks for listening, sorry about any lingering unpleasantness in your parietal lobes. Do you have music?

f.l..e...a.... Please feel free to fill my message with any sort of miscellaneous nonsense whatsoever, heh heh.
Your songs are good. They have a pretty rich sound environment. Some songs sound like they could become really great and chaotic from the first 20 seconds, but kind of choke off from the limited sound pallette of this starting, and keep repeating the sounds of the first 20 seconds. It would be even better if it kept changing, but that would take loads of disc space. From what I heard, libelogy and dropkick fatality were my favorites and lungflood was the least favorite because it was so obviously a measured repetition.

hagsjakdahgweqr- That experiment 9 was way better. It just sounds like it was fun to make because it's fun to listen to. It's a little bit similar to the style of delet ER boy, check out www.mp3.com/deleterboy "apexin" or "urgh, stupid program", you'd probably like it. Using a sample of some guy saying "who the fuck was thatljafjow" was a good touch, probably the nearest wav file you found to mess around with, heh heh. That's an excellent guitarish melody too- sounds semi fractal, and the drums and stuff are mixed up and fun.

Evil Taxidentialist: You DO have great music, in my worthless opinion, especially for only doing it for 5 months. I liked the cosmic joke and breakdancing, especially the latter. It's a simple cut and paste, resembling symmetry in nature's patterns, such as the pattern the worms make on the sidewalk when the rain is over. A worm here, a worm there in random places, but the symmetry comes from the fact that they're all worms.

Sirius: Thanks for listening! That was a weird review, here's a marshmellow!
-------0
ID lab: Hey, good luck on that live gig. I've actually been looking for your non-mp3.com site, since I liked your songs phonetic energy and lobsters quite a lot. I don't find many artists do stuff quite as zany and experimental as your stuff. I listened to Bluescreen Histamine 2 1/2 times (the half being right now)... I still don't know what I think of it. It's approaching noise this time almost to merzbow level (it is pretty random and almost lacks a linear structure) but there's a mind at work, I think... The melodies are remnants of deceased melodies and don't retain any of the charm they once had if they ever did. The clicks and cheeps are kind of a puzzle to figure out how it was constructed and I like stuff like that (autechre). This is music that isn't so obviously constructed on a tracker software program as most people's are. I'm interested in any of your future work (plus the others I havn't heard yet). Try www.mp3.com/jbohn the song "walking on eggshells". I'm glad you liked my song, well a "tune" technically since no one sang... you get a marshmellow too.

goddisk- I was able to listen to 2001mp3, but my computer can't play hi fi without pausing every second. From what I heard, you have good quality sounds, they just arent very original. Bass drums snare drums and reversed cymbols, and a randomish bass melody. The construction is fairly interesting, but isn't as good as other stuff, it probably could use a faster tempo and some choppiness. It could use something crazy and pointless like a "who the fuck was thatlajf;ojw" sample, heh heh. (but I didn't hear the whole song... and the pausing was a disadvantage to you in obtaining your ultimate goal in life (as it should be like everyone else's, naturally): getting a good review from me)
